    http://nfldraftdiamonds.com/nfl-scout-tells-expect-run-quarterbacks-1st-round-one-worth/

    “Teddy has a very good arm, great vision, and understands pocket presence. The other quarterbacks are no where near Teddy’s abilities, but their is such a major need right now for a Savior quarterback teams are going to try their hand.”

    "I would expect 4 quarterbacks to be taken in the first round, but if you were to ask me Teddy Bridgewater is a top 10 guy and the others are 2nd to 3rd rounders.

    I asked the scout about the other three quarterbacks and he said he would not be surprised to see a team take Johnny Manziel (but he did state he would stay away from him), Blake Bortles and Derek Carr."


    Interesting...

    This is my opinion as well. I was def in the Clowney camp until I actually started to pay attention to Bridgewater. IMO, if you have the #1 pick and and need a QB, Bridgewater is the obvious pick.

    “I would try to trade out of the first pick in the draft, because their is better value in the back end of the draft. *If I was in charge I would explore the options of trading for both Kirk Cousins and/or Ryan Mallett. *If I had to pick a player at one I would select Jadeveon Clowney.”

    This is what the same scout said at the end of the article... So he wouldn't draft one of these quarterbacks with the 1st pick either.

    When you have the number one pick, you draft BPA.

    Your point? There's almost always one or more QBs who can be considered worthy of the BPA designation when you have the first pick in the draft. This year is no different. Furthermore, it can be argued that a B+ rated QB is more valuable than an A+ rated player at another position.

    Smokescreen by a rival to play up Teddy.

    Remember the owners telling McNair he was "heading in the right direction"?

    And that makes the intentions of a rival scout any different?

    If they wanted to come out and say something they would go to NFL.com or ESPN

    The fact they went to some obscure website invalidates your entire theory

    Lol. Those owners didn't publish their convos with McNair at all. That was all McNair saying what they told him. You're delusional.

    I don't think the scout in this article fits the "smoke screen" mold. Even though the OP started this thread as a support to draft Teddy over Johnny or Bortles _ the same scout said he wouldn't take Teddy with the #1 pick. He said he would trade down or draft Clowney.

    The scout also pointed out he would trade for Mallet or Cousins over drafting one of these quarterbacks.

    If anything the scout in this article is pretty much saying the Texans shouldn't draft any of these quarterbacks with the #1 pick. The OP needs to change the thread title.

    Ok. Let's stay on topic. So you're saying that a rival scout has no reason to lie because he's talking to a blogger who posts on the WORLD WIDE WEB as opposed to ESPN?

    Pretty much

    Under the old CBA we would be getting Clowney no questions asked.

    We've just seen two B rated QBs win a Superbowl the past two years. This is not counting the two rings Eli Manning has... Point is... the game is more than one position.

    It sucks that one guy is completely ruining the Texans board on this site. There was a time when I would come here before even going to Texanstalk or BRB for intelligent Texans discussion. Now, all I see is one guy ramble on and on about how Manziel is the Anti-Christ, and get his balls in a knot when someone says anything differently.

    Never trust a news source with an editor and a reporter who fail to know when to use "there" and "their" correctly. :eek:
