The only thing scouts have had to say negative about Bridgewater is size and lack of an "elite" arm...
Here's hoping O'Brien is part of the minority. Because the majority is usually wrong. You can't trust people. People like Coldplay and voted for the Nazis.
I don't know if anybody cares, but if they do: Pro Days: March 5 - Manziel March 15 - Bridgewater March 19 - Bortles April 2 - Clowney
A&M pro day is the 5<sup>th</sup> but Manziel is not working out until the 27<sup>th</sup>. Louisville's is the 17<sup>th</sup>.
3/3:*"I've been saying 4 weeks and I will say until I believe differently, but the Texans are taking a quarterback. I'll be shocked if they don't." - John McClain
Yea if Pancakes is saying it that definitely means the Texans can go in any direction. He's been right at times but even a broke clock is right twice a day. I tend to agree with him that there is a strong possibility that the Texans may draft a quarterback but it may not be the quarterback he's lobbying for.

I want clowney with the number one, but I think Sammy Watkins is going to end up being the best player in this draft. That guy is a beast

Interesting if true. He Was getting glowing reviews out of camp; many said he was the most improved player on the team. Two years studying behind Payton Manning doesn't hurt either. Hard to see Denver trading him unless we substantially overpay.
I can't imagine Manning has more than 1-2 more years in the league. Osweiler needs to be kept as a replacement, unless of course we want to overpay.
The Texans have been linked now to Osweiler, Mallett and Cousins. It sounds like the Texans are really exploring all potential options to avoid drafting a QB from this year's mediocre class. It's Clowney at #1 unless they trade down.
Or that's precisely what they want teams to think A lot of leaks linking Texans to young QB prospects...perhaps to drum up interest in trading the #1 pick. Perhaps the Texans believe convincing teams they are gonna take Clowney gives them the best chance of enticing a team to trade up to #1.
