As much as you want it, it wouldn't really make sense for them to trade up again like they did to get Julio. Then they'll be eventually sunk into another big contract after 3 seasons when his rookie contract is up and we will be stuck paying him, matty ice, and our WR core.

And people wonder why our OL sucks...

It's becoming more and more apparent that Clowney is going to go #1 overall.

The question is where is he going?

Unless you have lived, or currently live in Georgia, I don't think I'll ever understand how a Gamecock could be a fan of a Georgia team.

Lots of Gamecocks like the Braves, closest MLB team, and probably some older Falcon fans from before when Charlotte got a franchise.

I heard them on local DC radio saying that people are trying to argue that Mack is a better pick for the Texans and they may take him now. I think that is all just ESPN smoke screens trying to create anticipation for the first pick.

This.

I hope they do too. I'd love to watch Clowney punish $Cam for the next decade.

Or a fan of a team QB'd by Cam Newton. It doesn't make any sense.

I think Houston wants to trade the 1st pick and they are just waiting for the best offer. And I think that would be best for them to trade and get more picks. I don't think any of the QBs are worth high picks so they can grab one in the early 2nd like AJ, garrapolo or whoever they like.

Why not?

Because he beat South Carolina?

Cause, I hate to say it...that would disqualify a lot of NFL teams in history.

They do want to trade it, but their asking price is too high. Word is that they want a Redskins/Rams like deal and that is not happening in this draft. Rounds 2-4 are more talented than they have been in a while and teams are unwilling to give up too many picks this year.

[hellraiser24]

The Patriots have worked out Bruce twice already. Apparently they are showing him the most interest.

Look for the 49ers to trade up. They have a lot of picks this year again and not that many needs.

I know.....I was just making a point relative to what I think Clowney's value is.

Exactly. If they take Mack over Clowney, that would be the worst pick in the history of the draft.

While we wait for 2 more days, I figured we could look back at when our one and only other #1 pick was taken in 1981. Big George of course.

One thing I come to realize from that video is it seems like teams now-a-days don't like spending high-draft picks on RB's .

Two of the first three picks in the 1981 draft that year were RB's. Since 1981 there have only been two RB's first overall (Bo Jackson and KiJana Carter)

[Gamecocks1137]

I am sure everyone has seen it in the football forum, but if not, Clowney is going to be on the Tonight Show tonight. Also Draft is finally here tomorrow at 8pm. Ready for this to be over.

Brady to Bruce has a nice ring to it. Bruce would be pefect in NE

Brady doesn't have but maybe two more years to play though.. he is getting old.

[rosstheboss]

Thought I'd throw out my last guess at the top 5 for tomorrow.
1. Clowney-HOU/ATL
2. Robinson-STL
3. Manziel-JAC
4. Watkins-CLE/DET
5. Bortles-OAK
