I'm not super sold on him leading an NFL team to the playoffs but he is one of the best available in college.Pick6;1560545 wrote:Bortles looks great.

Who knows...just a gut feeling that he is the guy that slides.SportsAndLady;1560600 wrote:You think?
Lot of drafts have him in the top 5

I've looked at 4 different ones and he's all over the place.Pick6;1560607 wrote:mocks/media are saying Bortles top 5, but NFL scouts are saying 2nd round
In a 4-3, Clowney should be the Browns #1 target...se-alum;1560631 wrote:Here's a question, what if Clowney is still on the board when our pick comes up, with Teddy and Bortles being gone. Do we take Clowney and wait for our 2nd pick to take a QB?
If we don't use the first pick on a QB we might as well wait till the third round and take a Murray, McCarron, or Boyd. This is what I think should happen anyway. Bortles and Carr aren't sure things. We could go WR CB RB with our first three picks and still get one of these three guys. We have more needs to fill than just QB, can't waste another top pick on a guy who might not pan out.se-alum;1560631 wrote:Here's a question, what if Clowney is still on the board when our pick comes up, with Teddy and Bortles being gone.

I follow UCF a little more than most (gf went there) and always tell people Bortles is Big Ben 2.0. I think a lot of his issues passing are footwork related so hopefully he cleans it up during the lead up to the combine. If we do end up with a supposed QB guru like McDaniels I think that could be a good place for him. He also does a lot of the play calling at the line and despite what last nights INTs might have shown he typically makes the right decision passing.se-alum;1560630 wrote:I feel like expectations for Bortles were too high tonight, since most people haven't really seen him play until tonight. He still had a heck of a game, but people seem to be down on him for it. I really think Bortles plays a lot like Roethlisberger. It's not always pretty, but he finds a way to get it done. Not to mention, they installed read option for this game, it hasn't really been part of their offense.
But no position is more important than the QB position...CLEconomically Speaking;1560653 wrote:If we don't use the first pick on a QB we might as well wait till the third round and take a Murray, McCarron, or Boyd.

I see that with his size and arm. I think he is like Rodgers/Elway/McNabb with his mobility. Not a running QB, but quick enough to scramble downfield and slide for a good amount of yards.mucalum49;1560661 wrote:I follow UCF a little more than most (gf went there) and always tell people Bortles is Big Ben 2.0.

No he wasn't? No one needed a QB after 1 really and when Smith was taken everyone knew it was going to be a fairly good slide. Not all the way down to GB maybe but stillwes_mantooth;1560602 wrote:I still remember the draft where Aaron Rodgers slid....fucking espn keeping a camera in his face making a huge deal of it.
