tOfficial "Johnny Manziel" Superthread

If gets past OAK at 5, he won't go in the 1st round.

This would actually make for good TV. Everyone remembers how nice it was to watch Brady Quinn squirm.

...bad news to hear.

I don't have any sources, but if OAK is not the slot, he could very be there for MIN if that's your angle...but I think Mack works for your guys.

I remember how nice it was to get an unconditional 1st the next year because he was squirming.

How about the cameras in Tebow's face as he was sliding.

 

[Midnightangel]

His stock has dropped a tad after the combine...if he doesn't throw at his pro day, it will drop more I think...that said OAK or CLE will pull the trigger...I think OAK.

Agree with the poster that added there should be a poll about where he SHOULD be drafted...I think late 2nd at the earliest more like mid 3rd.

Agreed. Questions about his lack of bulk, lack of maturity and decisions with the football when panicking SHOULD drop him to the second round.

It would, and speaking of Quinn...I forgot CLE double dips in the 1st...26 I believe.

whew.....good news to hear.

I think I saw a write on it at the Yahoo site

JDM is a mod? Surely the Patriots board can do better than that.

He does well enough at the Pats board but he can big as big a homer as some, maybe even legendary M10 status. Not a great quality for a MOD

No angle hear ATL, but I am a Raider fan also. Manzeil don't "fit" in Raider scheme in my OP. Nor in Minny, although seeing the 2nd coming of Fran Tarkentain sounds interesting @ 1st glance.

I think he fits better in Minny than he does in Oakland. Mostly because he wouldn't be the focus of the offense plus could take some heat off of Peterson since teams would have to worry about him taking off. The WR's seem to fit his playing style a bit better as well. Plus he would have a lot better OL in front of him so again he wouldn't have to do it all on his own like he would in Oakland.

Gotcha...I really liked him as a CFB player, but imo I don't see it at this level.

 

[Shanemansj13]

There is no doubt he will be drafted in the first 5. All those teams won't pass on a guy capable of changing a franchise.

Now where I think he should be drafted or how it will pan out is a different question.

Well said and I agree with all

JF will succeed in the NFL IF he has an O-line and a decent RB. This Minny fit sounds about right.

Actually there is some doubt.

 

[JDM]

He will be drafted top 10. He should be undrafted.

Minny doesn't sound like such a bad fit. Never really thought about it until now.

 

[Clayton]

He'll go late first, imo. A team will trade up into the first round to get him

 

[cdumler7]

They are about the only team in the 1st round that I could say I understand why they did that.

 

[flaraider]

I've voted for number one because I hope Houston takes him, I have my doubts but if that's not the case I certainly hope he drops out of the top 5. He's out of the first round in my opinion.

 

[sonnyblack65]

When will Manziel go?

I think on JDM's wall at least a bighead, will replace RG3's. Voted top 5

 

[Shanemansj13]

I don't. If the top 4 (including Cleveland) don't take him, Oakland will.

 

[Destroydacre]

I vote top 5. I think a team in there is going to bite.
