Quote:Manziel wasn't just good though. He was flat out amazing. Some of those deep passes were incredible. Teddy looked awful in shorts during his pro day. Manziel was a beast in helmet and pads.


I still like Teddy but may be shifting to Manziel but neither of them at #3. We will basically take Mack Watkins or Clowney.

 

That's the crux of it.  It was total rockstar, whether you buy into the hype or not.  No one can recall any Pro Day where the QB went helmet and pads for the workout.

 

He turned heads (and admittedly surprised me with the fanfare and circus factor), but I agree - I still don't think any of the QBs are worth our third pick.  What changed for me is that his risk/reward factor just got a little less risky.  This of course, is coupled with the Gruden QB Camp where he stood tall (pun intended) against Gruden's attempts to challenge him.  I'm wary of short QBs, but it's becoming more common lately.  Shorter QBs are having success and proving they shouldn't be written off on that alone.  The risk remains no doubt about it, I'm just less worried about the risk than I was before.
