Ok let's talk draft.....

....does anyone else think chip is crazy enough to resurrect Johnny football?




Johnny Manziel - Cleveland Browns - 2015 Player Profile - Rotoworld.com

I hope the hell not - don't want any part of that freak show. Vastly overrated coming out of college and I remember watching the draft last year, sweating bullets when he was still there for the taking at 22.

Glad they didn't, but then they didn't do much better when they did make their pick!

Johnny Football at this point is an interesting idea as a late round flyer sort of deal. Give up a 5th or later.and let.him compete.

No chance, because # culture

 

[WIZ]

I'd easily take a chance on Manziel. It's the Browns...

I feel like such a slacker. I havent looked at film or looked up prospects since January... im gonna have to go with wings' suggestions for my picks this year fellas.

 

[Birds4life81]

Johnny Football doesn't exactly fit into the Chip Kelly culture of high character players.

You've got to be kidding! Wings suggestions - really??

Just kidding! We all love Wings, and he is definitely in the top 100 authorities on the draft in this forum!

Lol nothing personal wings and I tend to think alike on football matters. If its any consolation, I take everyone's player evals as solid!

Manziel blows. He's not even a good QB and he's got all the off-field stuff. People are so stupid about him.

In an unrelated but amusing draft note:

Adam Schefter reports:

Former #Eagles and #Buccaneers DE Daniel Te’o-Nesheim recently signed with the AFL's Orlando Predators.

Another one of Reid's tremendous picks! LOL.

Give him time. He's got a motor

Taking a closer look at the predraft visits. (Using Birds 24/7 as my source)...

- It seems likely the 1st round pick is Corner. They have had Jones, Rowe, Johnson and Collins all in the building. Whichever one of those they like best and is still on the board is most probably the pick.
- Surprising amount of interest in OLB. I believe they will draft one of those. Suggests continued lack of confident in Marcus Smith.
- Surprised only one OL in the building. Maybe a little less interest than we think on drafting a lineman? Maybe they really like the current backups?
- Would be surprised if they don't get a Barkley replacement at some point. They seem to be doing due diligence on several QB prospects.

Birds 24/7 has a breakdown of Rowe today and says he is the type of DB the Eagles would like:

[Los Eagles]

Rowe is NOT a first rounder. Jones isn't either. Have we even seen enough of Collins to know what he is? Tools don't equal success. I'm pickin Kevin Johnson all day over any of these guys.

 

[Los Eagles]

If we address corner in round 1, I'm thinking long and hard and trading up for Agholor. Fantastic fit!

With Kelly, I don't think it matters that much what the so called experts think. He will pick the guy he thinks is right even if it looks like a reach to us.

Kevin Johnson all the way for me if we stay at 20 ... NFL ready, fits our system, has excellent college tape and posted top athletic #'s at the Combine. Then I use CB Brandin Boykin along with our 2nd round pick to move up 7 to 10 spots for Agholor.

I would be thrilled to see this happen! Both guys are great fits and can contribute early.
