<p style="font-size:16px;color:rgb(55,55,55);font-family:'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif;">My question is if Manziel himself knows he can't play football the same way he did in college, what is the point of taking him high?

<p style="font-size:16px;color:rgb(55,55,55);font-family:'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif;"> 

<p style="font-size:16px;color:rgb(55,55,55);font-family:'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif;">The whole appeal of taking him high in the first place is his playing style.

<p style="font-size:16px;color:rgb(55,55,55);font-family:'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif;"> 

<p style="font-size:16px;color:rgb(55,55,55);font-family:'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif;">If his college playing style doesn't translate to the pros (and it doesn't), what do you have left?

<p style="font-size:16px;color:rgb(55,55,55);font-family:'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif;"> 

<p style="font-size:16px;color:rgb(55,55,55);font-family:'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif;">How long will it take him to transition to an NFL style of play?

 

 

I agree with this and made a similar point several months ago. 

 

You do not take Manziel if the idea is to try to alter his game much. You take Manziel if you think he can bring some of that magic of his college game to the NFL. 

 

At this point (once QB reach the NFL), you aren't "fixing" QB's. Amazing how fans and even NFL people see this proven out year after year and then seem to suffer amnesia the very next draft.
