The only difference is height. If you put them side by side in a combine line up, Manziel wins. Height is starting to become a non-factor. It's footwork and speed. Russell Wilson proved it as well as Manziel.

There's been like 4-5 quarterbacks under 6' that started in the last 20 years.

yeah, you can hear the ESPN guys all trying to save face. "Really the PERFECT place for Manziel! His large (GH) hands will be excellent in the cold weather there!"

Those 3 teams in his division have brutal defenses, and he's going to be missing that nice TX weather.

you could read from his pale face... like a dude staring at a foul girl he knocked up accidentally... he wanted to be anywhere but cleveland.

so who's he gonna be? tim couch all over again? brady quinn? or worse?

Don't forget colt McCoy and weeden either

Cleveland is career suicide

Yes but Brady is a one in a million , 6th round pick , wasn't expected to do anything , no expectations, no hype

Got lucky with belichick and belichick got lucky with Brady

Taylor Lewan from University of Michigan.

Chisel it in stone.

Man I thought it was a lock when he was still there when Tennessee had the pick.

The more I think about it, The Cowboys made the right move by skipping Johnny and picking up the guard from Notre Dame.

That's the third first round offensive lineman they've picked up in the past 4 years and the other 2 have been pretty damn good so far.

So basically you have 3 top tier lineman all under 24 years old and if Romo isn't back there having to pull his "jedi pull a play out of his ass" routine and has time to throw then he can be pretty damn good. One of in the best in the league when he doesn't have to force plays, IMO.

The Cowboys defense is still garbage so it will still likely result in mediocrity next year but I'll take that upgraded line and Romo over Manziel and all the potential headaches he presents.

Manziels height might not be a factor only because of the size of his hands. Supposedly he has banana's for hands. I've read that most teams won't even bother with a QB who has smallish hands because they feel the ball will be stripped and fumble problems. Plus grip on the ball in bad weather...

I'm not sold on Odell Beckham.

Always wary of guys who "appear" at the Combine after 4 years of going unnoticed.

Raiders putting together a nice draft.....Khalil Mack and Derek Carr so far.

Looks like Josh Gordon will be suspended for the 2014 season for another failed drug test. Johnny Football will be running for his life with no big target to throw to.

ChopperRider · « **Reply #144 on:** May 09, 2014, 07:08:30 PM »

A lot of teams appear to be reaching.

Buffalo with Sammy Watkins and Cyrus K - either hit big or will be two huge busts.

CalvinH · « **Reply #145 on:** May 10, 2014, 07:31:03 AM »

Niners with some really good picks

Sammy Watkins is the surest bet in this draft. Easily the best receiver in a very deep draft

Cyrus K is a gamble with the injury history though.

Surest bet in this draft is the OT Mathews out of A&M. Pencil him in the starting lineup for the next decade.

Can't argue with that. But Watkins is the most pro-ready skill position player...he's gonna be a Fitzgerald/Green/Jones type receiver.

Who's your team? Bears fan right here and I'm quite pleased so far

Trey Palumalo will catch more TD passes from johnny pick-6 than anyone wearing a CLE jersey.
