What would you do if you were the Texans?

1, Trade down

 

2. Take Clowney

 

3. Take...gulp, Manziel. My reasoning? I think he's going to be decent, but not a star. At the same time, Houston has superb talent compared to most teams drafting #1 and can make him a Russel Wilson type guy. Not to mention, he's going to sale tickets/jersey, and this is a business.

Depends on if I thought I could get by with the quarterback I have.  If not I would draft the best QB in the draft.  If I felt no one would be worth drafting I would go with Kalil.  If not him then Clowney.  Would I trade down?  Sure if I could but not if you ask for a king's ransom.

manziel 

 

upside with this kid is unreal. lots of knocks on him sure but sometimes the "it" factor is too great to overlook.  the new head coach there could potentially have his franchise qb gift wrapped and delivered to his doorstep day 1.  

 

ask Ron how that worked out...  not comparing players but situations.

1.  Trade down.

2.  Bite the bullet and take Johnny Football.  Sure, Clowney has everything you want on paper but that translated to 3 sacks in college last year.  With the new rookie wage scale, I think you can roll the dice on that boom/bust QB much more than you could justify it before.  Houston has a good roster and is a QB away from competing.  You add Clowney to that roster and he turns out to be great, what have you really done?  You still don't have a QB.  In the NFL, you either have a QB and you can compete or you don't have a QB and you ultimately can't compete.  The rookie wage scale protects you from that franchise dooming high pick bust that cripples your franchise from a cap perspective.  Take the QB who you feel can be great.  I think that's Manziel.  I basically see him as a better version of Russell Wilson.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
