    what is you guys best and worse case scenarios for the draft tonight?

    My best case scenario is we trade back to the Browns, for their #1 picks and another early pick in future draft, then we pick Mack at #4 and Teddy B at 26.

    Worst case scenario is we trade back to a team between 6-11 and pick Bortles or JFF... I could handle Johnny more than Bortles but I don't want either of these guys unless its past pick 16.

    We must win this draft!

    I don't want Teddy. There's just no upside there.

    But either of your scenarios good.

    Worst case is we cant trade down and we have to take someone too high at #1.

    Best case is the first round pick has a hall of fame career.

    Worst case is the first round pick sux.

    when i watch the tape the only two QBs that wow'd me were JFF and Bridgewater. Teddy has a good arm, he is mobile, and he makes good reads. If he is available in that scenario at 26 or even at 33 you still wouldn't want him?

    Bortles reminds me a lot of Schaub for some reason, meaning I think he can be a solid QB for maybe 5-10 years, make a pro bowl or two, definitely worth a first round pick but I don't think he will be able to carry a team to that next level.

    I would take Teddy in the third round. This team just has too many needs. And we need to go for high upside guys, so I prefer Manziel or Bortles.

    First round trade back to 6, take Manziel.

    Falcons give you two first and two seconds.

    Best case scenario is Clowney with the first pick and BPA/BQA with the 2nd.

    Worst case scenario is anything involving a QB with the first pick.

    I want Manziel.
    I actually want to enjoy watching the team this season.

    I'd like to trade back down with the Falcons for their 2015 1st and anything else we can get. I think that would be a fair trade for both teams. Then I'd like to trade the Falcons' pick last second to the Lions who desperately need a tackle in exchange for their pick and a future 1st or two 2nds.

    Then I'd take Barr.

    I wouldn't mess around with a QB in the 2nd round unless Manziel, Bridgewater or Carr falls there AND BoB really wants one of them. If there's any doubt, screw it, you've got to maximize the cards you're dealt, you don't take a QB just because you need a QB if he isn't the right guy.

    In that case you hope for a Louis Nix or Seferian-Jenkins type player that can come in and make an immediate impact.

    Isn't it crazy how Ppl wanted teddy #1 and now it looks like he might not go in the 1st round.

    Best case:
    I'm happy with clowney, mack, or even Jake Matthews with first round pick (where ever that may be)

    Second rnd. ..... the best QB there

    worst:
    Taking Bortles in 1st rnd. or not having Mack, or Matthews to pick up (if pick traded)
