My second team is Houston, and I'm hoping like heck they take Bridgewater. He is going to be an outstanding NFL QB. Greg Robinson is the only other player worth first overall, IMO, and they already have Duane Brown. Clowney will be a great player, but I don't know how wise it would be to be paying both Watt and Clowney on just the D-line in 5 years.

I disagree and this is why Houston should not draft him. He almost looked like he quit on his teammates. What's he going to do when things get tough in pro ball? I think Clowney plays football because he's great at it, not because he loves it. Bridgewater is a great player, a smart player, who has his head on right and seems to love football, plus he plays QB. Houston should take Bridgewater.

I wonder if we had our number 2 pick would we let rak walk and draft Clowney, or would be drafting another position?

I'm with you. That's why I would take Bridgewater if I were Houston.

Why let Rak walk?

They play different positions, for now.

Clowney plays DE and he'd be on a cheaper rookie contract for a few years. In 4 years, he'll really be expensive.

I wouldn't touch Clowney. He has bust written all over him. You need to be spending high draft picks on guys who care and put the effort in. All indications are that he doesn't and won't.

The Redskins are supposedly showing interest in Cyril Richardson. I don't know if they're showing this much interest to all potential picks at #34, or if they really like him. I like the idea of Richardson blocking between Trent Williams and Montgomery/veteran upgrade, though.

OL at #34 would be fine by me.

Me too. But here is the way that Cinci's receiver corps was built:

Tyler Eifert 1st round
Jermaine Gresham 1st
A.J. Green 1st
Mohamed Sanu 3rd
Marvin Jones 5th
Andrew Hawkins UDFA

I realize that Gruden did not have final say in Cinci but Mayock says that Cinci coaches are heavily involved in the draft. Given this, and given that this draft is heavy at the top with receivers, I find it hard to believe that we won't use our first pick on a receiver.

My early guess is Receiver or Olineman

I hope we don't draft a WR with that first pick. WR's don't win football games. Cincy has a lot of skill guys and can't get out of the first round. I'd go the free agent route to improve our wr's.

Cincy actually drafted fairly well and from what I understand the entire coaching staff had alot of input into the guys they took. Cincy is a playoff team built from the draft.

[Gary84Clark]

Clowney is great, the opposing teasms ran away form him and he still affected almost every play.

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

I wouldn't mind Richardson at 34. Williams and Richardson would be a nice left side, but would that mean RibShack moves to RG? Or is he even in the plans after showing up lat year all kinds of out of shape.

[Gary84Clark]

Bridewater is Akili Smith the second.
