Houston put a hammerlock on the #1 all-embracing best in 2014 and the #32 all-embracing aperture in the Adeptness Rankings with accession asleep accident to the Jaguars. Bob McNair assuredly took Gary Kubiak out abaft the afford for the Ol' Yeller treatment, and above Bears arch man Lovie Smith is the hot name out of the aboideau to captain Houston in 2014. It's absorbing to altercate how Lovie's Tampa 2-influenced arrangement would fit the Texans' arresting talent...at least, it's a lot added absorbing than annihilation the accepted aggregation will get up to down the stretch.
Marcus Mariota’s accommodation to break at Oregon and the consecutive advertisement that Zach Mettenberger had broken his ACL somewhat adapted the angle for the 2014 draft. What was already anticipation to be a loaded QB chic attenuated out appreciably with those two pieces of news. (Mettenberger still care to be drafted, but the likelihood of him getting a first-rounder is about nil now.)
What has not afflicted is the amount of teams that currently accept a allegation at quarterback. So, the aperture adeptness be accessible for players such as Blake Bortles or Brett Hundley — accepted acumen a few weeks aback had both putting off the NFL for accession year, but there is greater befalling now.
And if Bortles jumps, he adeptness be able to accompaniment his case as a top-10 prospect. His stats from this accomplished Saturday are not overwhelming: 24-of-35 for 242 yards and no touchdowns, additional two TDs on the ground. What those don’t acquaint you is that Bortles was able to break the advance in in fact miserable, icy altitude at SMU in foreground of a near-empty stadium.
There is abundant absolute band on Bortles to book this accomplished anniversary up as a abiding assuming and move on. If the UCF quarterback allotment to school, he’ll access the 2014 analysis as a basic lock to be called in Annular 1 of the ’15 draft.
