If you were running the team and didn't want to trade the pick, who are your top 4, from your #1 guy to the worst case scenario at the pick?

Bortles
Clowney
Sammy
Teddy

That's who I take in the order I take them, not necessarily how I rank them. I have Clowney rated higher than Bortles but need outweighs ranking at the QB spot where those two are concerned. I take Clowney over Sammy and Sammy over Teddy and Teddy if the first three are gone. Also, I don't count the tackles even though they probably rank #2 & #3 simply because I don't need a high pick tackle right now. This is post combine... I don't have any issues with all the noise surrounding Clowney, and I think Bortles has more upside than Teddy, even though Teddy may be more ready to start right now.

1. Bridgewater 2. watkins 3. clowney 4. robinson ot I really like Teddy, but I'd almost take either clowney or watkins and love it.

as much as I like BPA, team needs to factor into it as well. if we are saying that all positions at the top are need positions for the team, then:

(1) Teddy Bridgewater
(2) Greg Robinson
(3) Sammy Watkins
(4) Mack / Barr - if anyone can figure out a good way of separating these two, then let me know.

Honorable mention: Justin Gilbert (have him slightly above Dennard)

1. Teddy B
2. Bridgewater
3. Teddy Bridgewater
4. T Bridgewater

Bridgewater
Manziel
Clowney
Gilbert

1. Bridgewater
2. Manziel
3. Watkins
4. Clowney

Bridgewater
Manziel
Robinson
Mathews

1. Bortles
2. Watkins
3. Mack
4. Clowney

1) Manziel
2) Bridgewater
3) Carr
4) Very tough as this is definitely a worst-case scenario for me. Today I'll say Greg Robinson.

As much as I like Marqise Lee, if we could get Brandin Cooks or Odell Beckham Jr at 26 I'd be just about as happy at that position, and I don't see a RT that comes close to Robinson at 26 or later. Don't think I like Dennard or Gilbert much better than Fuller.

1) Teddy Bridgewater - Most NFL ready QB with a nice upside.
2) Blake Bortles - Needs developed, but has a large upside.
3) Johnny Manziel - Boon or Bust QB. Not proto type but a real gamer.
4) Trade down - No other single player offers as much as a franchise QB. Get as much talent as possible out of this draft.

1) Watkins
2) Bridgewater
3) Clowney
4) Matthews (OL not WR)

I'd be ok with Bortles and Greg Robinson too.

Bridgewater
Manziel
Watkins
Clowney

If Teddy's there, take him.
If Johhny is there, look for a slight trade down, if not, take him...
If Clowney is there, I think you can get a good haul for him, including a 1st next year...
If not I take Watkins...

1.Teddy
2.Manziel
3.Clowney
4.Mack

1) Teddy
2) Sammy
3) Johnny
4) Bortlesy (Gotta keep it consistent)

I'm not sure why anyone would want to get Clowney (God dangit, does every prospect need to have a Y in their name?) considering we wasted a pick last year on OLB, I'm not sure why we should do it again.

I don't think Mingo is considered a "wasted" pick yet...

And by your point, we've "wasted" picks on QBs before, so does that mean shouldn't take one now?

1. Teddy Bridgewater
2. Johnny Manziel
3. Sammy Watkins
4. Mike Evans

With the way our defense will be rotating snaps it will be hard to call Mingo a backup. He will probably get just as many snaps as Kruger and Sheard but just won't start the game.

I think he will be a great player at a premium position. If he lives up to the hype, I don't think people will care about Kruger or Sheard. Clowney would start from day 1 if drafted.

BPA Top 4

OT G.Robinson
QB Bridgewater
WR Evans
LT/LG Z.Martin

Browns Top 4

1. QB Bridgewater
2. QB Bortles
3. Trade down
4. OT/G G.Robinson

1) Watkins
2) Bortles
3) Manziel
4) Bridgewater
5) Jake Matthews
6) Clowney


My board has changed significantly in the last few days. I'm thinking later QB. Manziel is still my favorite QB, but I'm less sure he will transition well. Logically to me, Bortles makes the most since because he fits the mold of Top QB.

Watkins would be a game changer for us paired with Gordon. This would open up the run game, take pressure of the QB and Oline... They both would demand double even triple coverage! The run game would open up too! I think if he is there this is by FAR our best choice at #4.

If we have to go QB at #4 then it needs to be one of the top 3; hence Bridgewater makes the list. Mathews and Clowney would both make huge impacts but are not our biggest need which to me is Offensive Threats.

1 - Bridgewater
2 - Robinson
3 - Bortles
4 - Manziel

1) Bridgewater
2) Bortles
3) Watkins
Trade
4) Robinson

Manzel would be after pick 16.
I would not have Clowney on my board until the second round.

1. Bridgewater--the most ready to start day 1 and be successful
2. Bortles--Only if Teddy is gone and we have the patience to sit him behind Hoyer.
3. Watkins--If both Bridgewater and Bortles are gone, then this guy helps us the most immediately in both the passing game and the run game by loosening up the Defense.
4. Trade down-- I just don't want/trust Manziel to last both on the field and off and Clowney scares me as well.

If you do not need a Franchise QB its a different 4:

1. Bridgewater
2. Manziel
3. Clowney
4a. Robinson
4b. Watkins

Well you said 4 not 5 so did the a. b. thingy...lol

but got them right there neck to neck pending on the team needs.

jmho

Bortals
Bridgewater
Manziel
Sammy

Good is good.
It all depends on who is gone. Who I'm targeting. But I've talked well of Watkins since his Bowl game. I knew then the kid is special.

Now if #6 Falcons...lol wanted Watkins bad and trade up to #4 to beat out the Raiders or us for that matter and they gave us their 2nd rounder...Hello #6

Hey Roddy White should be retiring soon and so did Gonzalez and we all know how important WR is to winning championships...

1. Teddy Bridgewater
2. Greg Robinson
3. Sammy Watkins
4. Jadeveon Clowney

The only thing worse than not having a franchise QB is wasting a top 5 pick to take a QB who doesn't turn out to be a franchise QB.

The Browns top four (not the same for all teams):

1. Bridgewater
2. Watkins
3. Clowney
4. Bortles

Clowney is a hard case to figure. The NFL environment is much different than college. The player is a highly paid employee. The coaches are paid to get the players to reach their potential. The locker room breeds great peer pressure. If Clowney taps his true potential watch out.
