    Actually scratch that, it's closer to 30 million reasons.

    I think O'Brien was the WR coach when Cassel was in NE

    Browns would have to include next year's #1 as well.

    Familiar with what scheme? As was stated earlier, he was the WR's coach when Cassell was there. And FYI; Bill O'brien has already said that he's used lots of different schemes, and was willing to tweak them to his QB, not the other way around.

    Also, you don't draft a guy to be the "future of your team" in the "later rounds". 2nd at the absolute latest. (Before anyone says, "What about Tom Brady, or Russel Wilson". Those guys weren't brought in to be the franchise, they were brought in to be a part of the franchise). And none of the FA QB's to be, are worthy of being a stop gap....lol

    I dont think so...

    http://walterfootball.com/draftchart.php

    1st overall = 3000pts
    4th overall = 1800pts
    26th overall = 700pts
    35th overall = 550pts

    3000pts vs. 3050pts

    This draft class isn't that great. It would probably only take the 4th and 35th to move to #1. No Luck or RGIII and 3 QB's around the same skill level that one or two will fall to #4.

    Actually Bridgewater is the only qb with a 1st round rank on most teams draft boards

    perfect Post.. QB's that are drafted in the 2nd -3rd and so on are never brought in with a mentality to be their franchise QB.. They are brought in hopes of becoming
    something good.., but 1st RD QB's you are expecting them to become that.. (not saying it always turns out), but thats how it works

    Browns are apparently liking Bridgewater the most as well

    That along with the Raiders and Jags

    I find it interesting that we haven't heard a peep about the Texans being interested in Teddy, yet they have been rumored to like both Manziel and Bortles. Leads me to believe that they actually do like Teddy and want to see what kind of offers they can get via trade while talking these other guys up.

    More conspiracy theories. There's enough foil in here to start a BBQ

    Actually it makes a lot of sense considering Bridgewater has the only 1st round grade amongst qbs

    And Clowney is the best player period in the draft

    It will comedown between Bridgewater and Clowney

    Wouldn't happen. Foles is a product of Chip's system and being on the field with Shady and D-Jax. And if Chip did get that pick he would probably draft Johnny.
