Manziel then trade back into the first for Zach Martin and move him to guard.

---

A lot of people talk about Manziel’s arm strength negatively, but I don’t see why. He has a very strong arm. From what I’ve seen, in terms of pure arm strength, I’d put him second above Bridgewater
and behind Mariota. He is able to throw the ball for chunks of yardage at a time through the air, and honestly he could probably throw it a whole lot further if he put his weight behind it (he has footwork issues which I’ll address later). One thing I was also pleasantly surprised with was his touch. He knows how to control the arc of the ball pretty well, but it’s not fantastic. I would also put him second in this category, with Mariota at third (Bridgewater is far and away the best touch passer in the country.) Anyway, I digress. He is also, as you can see from the statistics, very accurate. 80% accuracy against the best team in the country isn’t normal. It’s very good.

What is your best (realistic) scenario for the first two rounds?

 

My favorite: 1. Mack 2. Carr

 

Mack, IMO, is much more versatile, and has a higher work ethic than Clowney. I didn't think Clowney's work ethic was an issue, but yesterday Gus said in an interview that "We can't fix anyone's work ethic." (Or something to that effect) With that being said, I think Mack's combination of playmaking ability (leads NCAA all-time in FF), good off-field stuff, and overall talent will put him above Clowney on our board.

 

As for Carr, I think we'll be lucky if he's there. He's got the best arm strength in this draft, sneaky athleticism, and a very high football IQ. He, too, has phenomenal intangibles (family, wants to be a minister after football), and impressed Gus at the Senior Bowl. I think he has top-10 upside and game manager floor, and that's what you look for in a QB pick.

 

Your thoughts? Your top scenario? Post them here.

I would be very happy with this. No change needed.

What lies behind us, and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.







 

If Teddy/Clowney both on board:

1- Teddy

2 - Dee Ford

 

If only 1 on board:

1-Teddy  

2- Dee Ford

or

1- Clowney

2- Gabe Jackson or Xavier Su'a Filo

 

If Both gone and no trade down:

1- Mack

2 - Gabe Jackson or Xavier Su'a Filo

LEO in FA

 

1.) Teddy

2.) Easley

 

or

 

1.) Clowney

2.) Yankey/Filo

---

Manziel/Bridgewater

Ford

---

1 Teddy 2 Ford would have me estatic.

 

This is mine too. Unfortunately, Ford will most likely go in the 20s. I'd be all for giving up a couple of the extra picks we have along with our second to move up to get him.

---

Bridgewater/Su'a-Filo

---

1st) Teddy 2) Austin Seferian-Jenkins (security blanket for Teddy SINCE HE ONLY LIKEZ DAH SHORT PASSEZ) and trade back up into second for Van Noy or even the defender from ASU, the name has escaped me at the moment

---

"Expect for the best. Prepare for the worst. Capitalize on what comes."

 

If Teddy Bridgewater is gone, my dream draft would be:

 

1. Trade with the Falcons to get a second round pick

2. Pick Khalil Mack at #6

3. Pick Dee Ford at #37 (Atlanta's second rounder)

4. Pick a quarterback at #39.

---

Teddy/Ford has got to be the most ideal scenario but definitely not the most likely.  Both guys may easily be off the board before we pick.


If we grab a pass rusher, I'm just thinking which QB is the best after that.  Maybe a Mack(or Clowney)/Mett combo.

---

1. Clowney/Mack

2. Manziel

---

"Get Better Everyday"

1. Clowney/Mack

2. Manziel

Are we trading back into the early first round?  I know we are saying ideal scenario, but I don't see any way that Manziel falls past the first round.  I'm not even a real fan of the guy either.

If other qbs didn't fall than trade back into end of first round

Unfortunately we would have to give up our third round pick and assigned fourth round pick to move up at least 10 spots. I would rather move only five spots up and keep the third round pick.

This team is not going to trade up.

Clowney/Carr

Bridgewater/Seastrunk if he runs a low 4.3

Trade down, pick Watkins/Carr and Seastrunk in the 2nd

THERE IS A SKELETON INSIDE OF YOU.

 

RIGHT NOW. THIS IS NOT A JOKE.

Teddy/Ford


Or


Mack/Mettenberger

Mack/Mettenberger

 

Do you really think #39 is a good place to pick Mettenberger?

---

This team is not going to trade up. 

 

If Ford somehow falls into the second round and the Redskins, Browns, or Raiders accept a fourth and fifth to move down, I am all for trading up to get him. Otherwise, I would rather stay at #39.

Do you really think #39 is a good place to pick Mettenberger?

Yep.
