Quote:I can get if they don't like Clowney (even though I disagree), but I don't see why they wouldn't just take Manziel at 3.  Letting CLE and OAK both pick before us, I doubt Manziel would be there if we valued him that high.  Only reason we should trade back is if there's no one there we are really in love with (especially a QB) and it's too good of an offer to pass up.

I think Manziel is going to fall a little.  If Minnesota does not take him at # 8, I would not be surprised if he does not fall to the bottom of round 1 and somebody trade up to get him, like Denver did to get Tebow when he fell in 2010. In the scenario I presented, he just happened to be there at #8 (kind of like a luxury pick) and we still get three starters out of rounds 2 and 3 as a result of the trade back.
