re: *ALLEGEDLY* Jadeveon Clowney was told he'll be the #1 pick in the draft

Yeah but most of ill will stems from stuff "unnamed NFL execs" have said and the media runs with, which tells me a) the statements are BS or B) they're just smokescreens and the media is just playing along like they always do.

Well at least one person in this thread understands what's going on. This is nothing more than Houston using the media to put out a "#1 pick For Sale" sign. There is no incentive for Houston to tell Clowney that he's going to be the first pick right now. It's not like any other team can jump ahead of them. They are trying to "convince" the other teams behind them that they are 100% going to take Clowney in order to see just how big a trade offer they can get for the pick. No harm in seeing if they can't get a king's ransom from someone.

90% of what comes out of NFL front offices at this time of year is nothing but lies and bluffs.
