Kiper declares Manziel the best QB in the Draft

ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper said Johnny Manziel is the consensus best QB in the draft.

 

I think Bridgewater and others are better, but I'm not exactly a Manziel fan.

 I would take Bridgewater over Manziel because I believe he has more upside as an NFL quarterback..  I he feel enters the upcoming NFL Draft  the consensus top signal-caller and a projected top-five pick. If Bridgewater had been in the 2013 NFL Draft, he probably would have been the first quarterback selected and could have gone at the top of the first round.

I agree with you on Bridgewater. He's a much more polished player. I think Manziel will be decent enough in the long run, but he's going to need more time to develop into an NFL quarterback. I see a lot of RG3 in manziel.

No issues with Bridgewater's skills. I think he's the best QB in the draft on that front.  My worry with him is his frame.  A sub 200 guy playing in the NFL?  He definitely should bulk up.

 

Manziel?  I honestly believe he's gonna be a massive bust.

Bridgewater will get bigger with a couple years of NFL weight training.

Manziel could be a huge bust. I'm a big believer that you can do anything if you're willing to put in the work. He definitely is going to take a while to develop into a sound NFL quarterback, but whether he comes around or busts is going to depend on his work ethic and if he's willing to be coached up.

Could be, but when I look at him I see the next Ryan Leaf (though a shorter version).

    • The thing I hate about strength of schedule is that NFL teams change so much over a year and past success or failure doesn't really dictate future success or failure
    • Considering you previously struggled to understand BTT despite it being explained in a video, write-up, and multiple replies, I get why this might be a little too complex for you. Happy to clarify again! Just let me know which part tripped you up this time. 😉
    • And, honestly, there's only so much you can attempt to do in the draft. And every draft pick is a roll of the dice. But that's where grabbing a ton of UDFAs, and targeting the best, makes a big difference. Sure, their individual chances of getting a hit here is less, but that shotgun pattern might just hit something.  Right now, we need bulk, partly to rebuild and partly to dilute the deep level of stank that has developed on this team in the last six years. If we're going to rebuild a culture built around culture, accountability and winning, then these UDFAs we bring in each season have to be the wash water that gets out that leftover dirt.  Canales seems to be a smart, culture-first, build up the good ones kind of guy. I like that and I hope he can keep it going here. But he was working against a locker room that had been taught to lose and taught to distrust or ignore coaches. He's got his work cut out for him, still. He does seem to have it moving in the right direction and that's something I was pretty amazed with by the end of last season.
