The Blue Board

I'm not disagreeing w/your theory, but your comparison is off.

If you consider these qbs, or any qb coming out in 2014, elite (while standing next to Colwney), then that makes Clowney super elite.

You don't pass on super elite players.

I think the Jaguars should trade down 3-5 spots, draft Eric Fisher. Draft Barkley round 2 and then go full on defense the rest of the draft including extra picks from trade. Then in 2014 draft Clowney 1 or 2 and then go full offense after tht.

Mariota in a heartbeat.

In a lot of ways I think Mariotta and JF are equal players but Mariotta is 6'4 and he's 6'1. If I was Philadelpia I'd guarantee Marcus they'd take him at 4th or 5th. They will suck this year I think.

Teddy if he declares will be the best QB in the draft.

I think he is as good as RGIII, whoever drafts him should just run the offense he is best at.

As an Ohio State fan, unless Braxton comes out this year and shows extreme improvement in the passing game and awareness at the position in general, most of us are expecting Braxton to stay through his senior year to improve his passing ability in order to be a high draft pick.

He's naturally an extremely gifted runner, but he has a long way to go developmentally as a passer, and I think he needs two more years of work unless he lights the world on fire with his arm this year. Having a team draft him so high at this point would be risking a lot on hoping for continued development.

His play this year could totally change my thinking though. Maybe by the end of the season it will be a no brainer for him to declare for the draft, but right now I just don't see him being ready.
