Quote:I was thinking this last night while watching the most one sided Superbowl in recent memory.What effect, if any, do you think the Seattle win will have on the draft? Will teams try and copy the Seattle blueprint and so the defensive players and mobile quarterbacks becoming more sought after?

With Clowney, Barr, Mack and Manziel all being preliminarily drafted high anyway the one sided nature of the Superbowl might push those players up higher.

As is often said, defence wins championships (which is one of the reasons the Patriots have come up short the last few years even with Brady dragging them to the Championship games and Superbowl) and in the last few years the side with the better defence seems to have won the Superbowl. Seattle, Carolina and San Fran all performing well in the playoffs (interestingly the NFC had 4 of the top 5 defensive teams). Has this changed the way you think we should be rebuilding? Should we focus primarily on defence and make do with a game manager QB until we get the defence sorted?

Has your opinion of the evolution of the QB position changed with the success of Wilson, Kaepernick and Newton. Are you more open to taking a risk on Manziel due to this who had better college figures than those 3. Personally for me, I would gamble on Manziel if Clowney is gone and trade up to get Ford in the late first. Bridgewater is a good talent, there is no doubt, and is the safest QB option in the draft. How high is his ceiling though, and is the mobile quarterback the new direction the league is heading in, or just a fad. Be interesting to know people's opinions

I would be more open to take Manziel now after watching the game. The new style quarterbacks are changing the way the game is played. They must be more mobile.....and be able to extend the play when the rush arrives. Also, pass rushers and good press corners are essential. WRs are more valuable than in the old days. I would be jacked if we got Clowney or Watson. They will make an impact and we need impact players in a big way if we are to improve.
