Falcons and Clowney. Dimitroff possibly setting the stage.

I would be surprised if the Texans don't select Clowney, but I wouldn't be surprised if Thomas Dimitroff doesn't have that notion floating around in his head. I suppose it would depend upon how much he is willing to sacrifice. We all know that he is aggressive, but he is willing to trade up per nfl.com.  

 

Jadeveon Clowney in the NFC South? How does that change the thinking at 28?

I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Texans didn't take him. I'm leaning toward them taking Bortles with the first pick overall or trading out of it and trying to get him a few spots later. 

 

I cant see Bortles going no1. I think it'll be between Clowney and Bridgewater. Bob McNair likes Manziel, but he's just not the kind of guy for a blue collar Bill O'Brien.

The team is leaning towards a QB and it's between Manziel and Bortles. McNair likes Manziel, but O'Brien like Bortles.

I seriously doubt that Clowney goes number 1 overall. I mean, there is absolutely a chance, but if they insist on running that 34, I might would even consider Mack as an outside edge rusher, just as much as I would Clowney. 

 

I just see the Texans going the route of QB.

Mayock said he'd take Mack first overall, so you're not alone there.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
