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.

      Mr. 0-2 every year to start the season in his career. Last year was the first year he ever played a week 3 game.

      The good thing about replacing a bad player is you really have nothing to lose. If their replacement is bad so what, you didn't get much worse and probably saved money.

      I came over from the old Panthers Insider site. When Fox Sports bought that platform it slowly just started dying plus the guy who ran that site was dealing with some pretty significant health issues so the whole thing just slowly fell apart. Quite a few of us migrated over here. Not sure how many are still around.  I miss that place. It struck a nice balance of having enough active posters to keep productive conversation flowing but didn't have so much traffic that you end up with a lot of trolling BS. This place is getting there though since we shutdown new registrations but at some point we're going to have to open it back up or we'll watch this place slowly die off too as posters fall off for one reason or another. We just have to figure out a way to filter out the spam bots. It was a never ending battle to ban the spam bots to keep then from overrunning the site. You'd think they'd be a little more strategic. I mean, if you fill a site with nothing but spam people are just going to stop coming so it's not a sustainable model. But nope, every one of them makes dozens of duplicate threads filling up pages upon pages as soon as their account goes live.
