Each week Just Blog Baby Podcast cohost and resident draftnik Rory Anderson will be releasing his most recent version of his three round NFL Mock Draft featuring comments from JBB Editor Chase Ruttig. Here are Rory’s Round One selections after the Super Bowl.
#1 Houston Texans: Teddy Bridgewater, QB UL
Rory’s Take: Texans insider John McClain said the Texans will take a quarterback in round one the issue is who. Well in that case you pretty much consider this pick as set in stone until we start considering trades. The trickle down here is what the Texans choose to do with Schaub which could affect other teams.
Chase’s Take: More and more reports keep coming out attaching the Texans to a quarterback in the first round, whether it is with the first pick or it comes via a trade down with another team it is getting safer and safer to assume that Houston will be looking for their franchise QB come draft day. This week we put the consensus best QB available at #1, but it could very well be either Johnny Manziel or Blake Bortles that end up in Houston as well. Just don’t bet it on being Derek Carr as the Texans probably couldn’t get away with that.
