Default Knowing what we know now...

Had you been in charge of the Texan's draft in 2014, which comes closest to how you would have drafted?

a) Drafted JaDeveon Clowney at 1/1.
b) Drafted Blake Bortles at 1/1.
c) Drafted Teddy Bridgewater at 1/1.
d) Drafted Johnny Manziel at 1/1.
e) Drafted Khalil Mack at 1/1.
f) Taken Clowney or Mack at 1/1 then drafted Derek Carr in the 2nd.
g) Taken Clowney or Mack at 1/1 then drafted Jimmy Garapolo in the 2nd.

Discuss.

Hindsight kind of gets in the way here but I was pretty much a "g". I think at the time, just about everybody in the country had Clowney mocked at 1.1 but I think if the Texans had thrown a curveball and went with Mack, I would have fully supported it.

Garoppolo was intriguing and another who I would've fully supported had the Texans chosen him at 2.1.

Su'a-Filo needs reps and Fido doesn't seem to get it but there is still more story to be written on the 2014 draft...

I might have chosen Bortles, but I guess too early to tell with almost all the choices.

Cool

Return of the Mack!!
The truly sad part of this is that the Raiders had a much better draft , and they were 5 picks later.

Oh I was (c) back then, and I'd still take Bridgewater there now.

I was c) but went for a) once it was clear that the Texans weren't going to choose Bridgewater. Name the 2014-drafted QB that has since started a playoff game.
