Quote:I think we are the same page, I would love a scenario where we trade down a bit and pick up another 2nd. Then package some of those picks and pick up Manziel, who I feel like might fall a bit.

If he falls past Minnesota at #8, IMO there is a good possibility he will be there late in the 1st for us or somebody else to trade back into the first and get him.  If Houston takes Clowney instead of Bortles at #1, I could see the Texans possibly trying to trade back into the 1st to get Manziel.  We should have more picks, and therefore more ammo than Houston to trade though.   Or if Minnesota trades up with us (or ahead of us with St. Louis) to get Bridgewater, so they don't HAVE to take Manziel at #8, I don't think Oakland or Cleveland would take Manziel.  Oakland has bigger needs, and I see Pryor getting another shot this year. Cleveland is said to like Derek Carr with their second pick of round 1 at #26.  That leaves Manziel falling.  So the scenario I presented before, where we traded down to #8 and took Evans, then traded up later in round 1 for Manziel would be awesome...


 Rnd1- WR M. Evans (starting day one, will make any QB look better)

Rnd1 - QB J. Manziel (we've seen what he and Evans can do, wow)

Rnd2 - OG D. Yankey (starter at RG day one, can also play RT if needed)

Rnd3 - OC M. Martin or T. Swanson (Starter if we don't get a Center in FA)

Rnd4 - RB L. Seastrunk (lightning to Gerhart's thunder)

Rnd5 - QB B. Smith (can play similar style to Manziel if needed)

 

By himself, I don't really want Manziel, but if we could pair him with Evans, I would be a lot more excited about Johnny in teal.
