1. Houston Texans – Jadeveon Clowney, DE, South Carolina – In reality, this was the only pick that should have been made here. He’s the best available player and he makes them better immediately. This pick looks even better if they get a quarterback in the second round. Grade: A
As I’m writing this, there are only a few pro days left this offseason. Johnny Football impressed scouts at his pro day while the best word I can find to describe Teddy Bridgewater is meh. Blake Bortles is making a serious run for the number one spot and of course everyone’s wondering if Jadeveon Clowney will be the pick after a great pro day. Will the Texans take a quarterback or will they trade down as many people think they will? Is there a mystery team that will offer the world for the first overall pick? Why did the Patriots meet with Johnny Manziel? I hope I can predict the answers to some of these questions.
