For some in Jacksonville who want Manziel as the Jaguars QB, the only thing standing in their way was the dreaded Texans, with the first pick in the draft and more importantly the first chance(if they wanted it) at Johnny. But with rumors heating up a few weeks ago of the Browns REALLY liking Manziel, thoughts were that they could/would likely to tradeup to that number 2 spot with the RAms, and effectively jump the Jaguars at 3. Putting both the Texans and QB-needy Browns ahead of us. Perhaps not anymore though.

 

The latest reports have been saying that much of the Browns-Johnny talk has been a 'smokescreen', and Cleveland actually really wants Derek Carr.

But of course, who knows if these latest 'reports' are not just another smokescreen.

 

Anyhoo, as it is, apparently the Browns are keen on Carr more than any other top QB, and if Texans do end up going with Clowney like many are starting to think, that may mean Jaguars at #3 will truly have the pick of the litter. With Bortles, Bridgewater, and MAnziel all there for the taking. Which is really the best case scenario in the end.
