Here is my thinking on this.
IF they decide to go Clowney, then they are giving up on this season. They won't get one of the top 3 by their pick in the 2nd round, might not even get Carr. So that leaves them some one like the kid for Eastern Ill. Garapolo(sp?) Who I actually like, but he won't be ready to start.
No, I think by trading away Schaub they have locked themselves in for either taking a Qb at 1, or trading down only a few spots. Problem is everyone is trying to trade down.
so its up to 3 Qbs. None of them are all that, all have their benefits and minuses. I happen to think in Texas, taking the Aggie Qb will sell tickets, and give the impression they are wanting to win now. With the new contracts, they are not selling out their team with the first pick anymore.
Plus, Obrien is already on record as saying they may take more than one Qb. So someone who has dropped to 4th or later may also be an option.
Of the three, I have seen 2 play. Have not seen Bortles in games, but have seen Mr. Football and Bridgewater. They say Bridgewater is more NFL ready , but I disagree. I happen to think he is a bust, and is smaller than folks think and will be more fragile. While Manziel is small, he is tough, and can avoid the big hits, and I think that helps him survive.
So I would roll the dice with Manziel
