    I think Barr has a shot to be real good and all, but there's no way you take him at number one. He would be perfect in Atlanta, though, in my opinion.

    So you would rather the Texans draft Barr instead of someone like Sammy Watkins or Greg Robinson...??? There's a HUGE possibility that Barr can't even beat out Whitney Mercilus (same with Clowney).

    Sammy Watkins gives this team another #1 receiving option on the field and is a replacement for Dre. Robinson pretty much fixes the offensive line.

    OLB isn't necessarily a position of need because we still have a young 1st round pick at that position.

    If for some bizzaro reason, it's not Clowney or Manziel/Bortles, Watkins would be next on my wish list.

    This pre-draft period has overstayed it's welcome.

    Considering the Texans were allergic to the end zone and Mercilus had just as many sacks as Dre and Hopkins had touchdowns _ if it's not a quarterback, you're wish list should be Watkins or Robinson. And they may can trade back and get one of them.

    OK, you are committed. I'll take the The Field: Mariotta, Petty & Hundley

    because at this time last year the prediction was Taj Boyd

    Been thinking it was going to be either Clowney or Manziel for a while now, two most intriguing players, both fill a need, and both have tremendous upside.

    If you think Manziel is in the running I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you

    I ran over here to see what Mr JR posted and to my surprise it's news from Pancakes...


    Now if someone starts talking about Teddy's small hands you'll start crying. He wasn't even the best quarterback in his weak az conference.

    Puff puff pass please

    Thats why Bridgewater had more yards, more touchdowns, less interceptions and a higher completion percentage than Blake Bortles

    Not very game changing at 4.68 speed lol

    I prefer the field generals, they have the superbowl rings to speak off

    except for Steve Young
