The Sporting News says Manziel will definitely not go number one...

[Mr. Scot]

...and argues that more than a few other teams may not be interested in him with their top picks also.

 

See their logic here: Why the Texans, and others, won't take Johnny Football

 

It only takes one.

 

It’s the line agents sell to get clients on board. It’s the line players sell themselves to remain confident throughout the draft process. It’s the line the mock draft-building media sells fans. When it comes to Johnny Manziel's draft future, it only takes one team to make him the face of its franchise.

 

But that team won’t be the Houston Texans.

 

And when it comes time to turn in the card on draft day, the Texans likely won’t be the only team to let a different franchise be the one to gamble on the Texas A&M quarterback.

Not saying Manziel is going no1, but they dont know poo. No one does.

Lets be honest

 

1. Know one knows who is going #1

2. Manziel is 3-4 rd talent hyped to 1st round status

[Falcons1stPanthers2nd]

Manziel is a 2nd rounder. Don't get the hype. He's 37th on my big board.

My take on Manziel is this;

 

He is good not great in the pocket,  he reads defenses well, has a good enough arm and shows good touch and accuracy on most all of his throws.  Everyone knows he can run and use his legs, he can throw well on the run but lots of times runs out of the pocket when he does not need to.  The one thing he never does is throw the ball away and live for the next play.  He is always trying to make a big play and always trying to make something happen.  Sometimes good things happen, sometimes bad but I don't think you will ever coach him to make the safe throw, that's just not who he is.

When he runs he seems to think he is 250lb or something and tries to take on LB or safetys or anyone else in his way.  You though RG3 was going to get hurt, let him try to do this in the NFL.  He might not make it trough a preseason game.  I really don't know how coachable he is because his coaches in college let him do pretty much whatever he wanted to because it worked there.  He is going to have to learn to take the safe throws and throw the ball away and get down and not take so many hits.  If he can do that he can be Russell Wilson who is a better runner.  If not he will be a guy that throws 3 or 4 interceptions a game and gets hurt 2 or 3 times a season.  It just really depends on how much coaching the guy will take.    After what he did after he won the Heisman I don't really know if he will listen to anyone who tells him what to do.  Coaches or not.

That's just my take.

[rayzor]

he'll fall like a notre dame QB.

[Mr. Scot]

he'll fall like a notre dame QB.

 

Just tell me we won't draft him :lol:
