Johnny Manziel Is Most NFL Ready of QB Prospects, Says Dave Caldwell

#44

I'm not generally a supporter of the Jags drafting Manziel.  However, after todays comments I was reminded of when we drafted Denard Robinson.

 

Remember the stories about Dimitroff knowing that DRob was DC's guy, that he would get him eventually?  Was that because of Denard's electric play in collegiate ball?  That is something that DRob and Manziel do share, of course from different positions, and with differing notoriety.

 

How much can hindsight steer DC's decision in this regard?  Taking a flyer on a guy in the 5th round is much different than at #3 overall.

 

The other thing that we should also consider is that DC probably had a 3 year plan coming into last year.  He would have scouted last years, and this years QB class to see who he would hitch his horse to, imo.  Waiting til year 3 is somewhat risky in todays NFL.  The reason I think this is because one shouldn't plan to be picking early after the first year or two, and that's where one would need to be to target a QB, really.

 

Most likely scenarios I see are taking a QB at 3, or trading back from 3 (6 to 15 position) and taking a QB whereever we land.  Trading back up from out 2nd round pick just isn't cost efficient
