Mocks aside, we wont know the Drafting order until Nov/Dec. However, many feel it's fair to assume that Clowney will be the #1 pick no matter what team is picking. Which begs the question, is there anything that could lower Clowney's stock outside of murder, being impriosned, ect ?

Can you think of a reason you wouldnt want your team to draft Clowney?

Injury concerns. That's it.

Unless he has a bad injury or we have an Andrew Luck type QB prospect come up out of nowhere, no way he doesn't go first

Not that I wouldnt want Clowney, but a team that needs a QB could take Bridgewater.

Injury...
Another player stepping up....


I mean at one time Reggie Bush was a #1 pick and Texans surprised everyone by taking Williams

Yes very easy actually.

If Bridgewater has a great year, tests well, interviews well, etc. and clearly establishes himself as a franchise qb. If the team picking #1 doesn't have a qb then it's a no brainer to go QB.

I'm not sold on Bridgewater being on that level yet but he's got another season to develop.

Microfracture or heart defect is about the only injury I could think that would knock him down.

the biggest one would be injury... or a potential #1 QB coming out of no where (like cam two years ago).

Is he only a 4-3 end? I mean scheme wise he fits better there than in a 3-4 as either an end or an OLB. I guess he could be like a Ware type guy who plays at 275 or more as an OLB but I could see teams who play a 3-4 not wanting him quite as bad

A team needing a QB.

Surprised Jacksonville didn't go for one in '13, especially since rookie HCs like to do so. That's my guess to be in that situation for '14.

I think he could do it all. He stands already in SC, so he's 80% there already for 34 OLB. If someone is running a 1 gap 34, they could see fit to use him like a Bruce Smith or JJ Watt at End.

Honestly, I can only think of two things, AND I AM NOT SAYING EITHER OF THESE ARE LIKELY TO HAPPEN:

1. Death

2. Imprisonment

The dude is that special.

Or because of all the spotlight he has gotten because of that hit on Smith that even if he has an average year by his standards may appear to be a bad year in comparison to the ever-escalating expectations.

Do you guys think Bridgewater is a Franchise-Changing type QB that would be worth passing Jadaveon over?

The team that immediately comes to mind is Jacksonville which pretty much needs players on both sides of the ball. Blaine is only marginally better than Tebow but adding Jadaveon would add about as much value as Teddy because they have so many holes to fill

I see them as #1 and #2 but I dont consider them to be interchangeable
