Quote:Manziel is an intriguing prospect. He comes off as having a bit of an attitude about him. I consider his draft position to be a bit hard to predict. Does he have Phillip Rivers attitude? Doug Flutie attitude? Kerry Collins attitude? Or an attitude unlike any other we have seen? I found it interesting that Brett Favre likened Manziel to a young Brett Favre a few days back. You could see that comparison, he is different from what most would consider prototypical, as was Favre.

 

I expect Manziel will make it beyond the top twenty picks in the first round, at which point some team will work a deal to move up from the early to middle of the second to select him somewhere in the twenties of the first. If he does make it to the second round, I feel the Texans may have a hard time passing on him.

 

I'm not sure he won't go higher.  I forget who... Lande or another analyst, mentioned earlier that the folks he spoke with didn't believe there were any franchise caliber QBs in this draft, and the GMs he talked to felt Manziel was the closest to one.

 

I think what intrigues folks about Manziel is the "it" factor, or what they feel his ceiling may be.  With him, it's about risk/reward, and I get the feeling folks are starting to believe there's the potential of possibly a great reward in the future with him.  So, I'm not sure he'd drop out of the top 10 even if I'm not sure he's worth that.  The top QBs in this draft will probably be overdrafted as they typically are.
