As a New Orleans fan, I'd much prefer they shore up the OT spots or get some more help in the secondary (preferably CB). This is a deep WR draft, and I think there will be plenty of WR value left after round 1.

If the cowboys or texans don't take Manziel if he's available, you have to question their leadership.

I hope gabe goes in the first round but it seems unlikely at this point. Also thought the WR Matthews from Vandy would be a lock for 1st. What's his weakness, speed?

Really I'm not a huge fan of any NFL team, I just like to follow state players go on and do well. But, I would like to see Manziel go somewhere where he will have a chance (not clev). It would be cool to see him go to the titans or cowboys.

I think the Texans and Eagles and maybe Vikings would be good fits for JFF. Eagles ain't happening I know with Foles, but it would be coool to see Johnny with ol Chip.

The Texans have the first pick. Good chance he's available then.

Have heard some rumblings that they might trade down for more picks and take him when the time comes.

Whenever I think about college players going pro, I try to think about which former/current pro players they remind me of. I can't think of an NFL QB that has ever played that Manziel reminds me of and whenever that happens, it's usually not a good sign. Maybe he'll develop into an outstanding pocket QB or maybe he'll run the pistol for a team and succeed, but all I know is that he won't last 6 weeks doing what he's done in college. Someone's going to have to really refine his game in my opinion

Good arm, elusive, fast, in the 6'' range, immature.....reminds me of Michael Vick. I would guess Vick is a couple of steps faster in a straight line, but Johnny has that Randall Cunningham-esque ability to escape. Tarkenton is another in that category but it's such a different game now.

Eagles are an interesting idea, both because he'd seem to fit the system, and also because it raises the question of whether they are satisfied with Foles long term.

If there are no good tackle projects available then I'd be fine with a receiver. I'd be tickled if they got the fsu receiver late in the first or if they trade up into the second to get Matthews or moncrief. I want another big physical receiver to go with colston and graham with Moore and stills in the slot. The cb's aren't too shabby when all are healthy, everyone was impressed with Robinson until he got injured. Also wouldn't mind drafting another tight end to run multiple two tight sets.

Ever heard of Fran Tarkenton?

In today's NFL of no one hits the QB, I would expect Manziel to do very, very

well. I think he is one of the most unique talents to come along in a very long time and the guy likes to win.

I'd love to see NO pick up Jermey Parnell. He's a swing tackle with really good feet, and punch. he's shown he's great at pass blocking in his starts in dallas. he's the biggest on our oline. He hasn't had a fair chance in dallas, due to our suspect eye for talent round here. I think he'd help your team, and he has a huge upside. he had a hurt hammy last year during OTA and it hurt him in the race for starting right tackle. Anyone who would start doug free in my book is suspect.

No one hits the QB in the pocket.. when he starts doing Johnny Football stuff outside the pocket, he's considered a runner and he's fair game to take hits.

just slide my man, if you slide they can't touch you. He can pick up a lot of

yards before he has to slide. RGIII didn't learn the slide.

Cleveland has to be attractive to Manziel. They have one of the best homerun receivers in the game and practically everyone on the team is his age. They have 5 of the top 80-something picks. You have to believe they're going to go hard at some bad *** offensive players. Not to mention that Norv Turner is the OC.

Manziel is Favre 2.0. Trade a little arm strength for athleticism. QB height is the last great myth in football...
