    I'm still not 100% convinced on Manziel making it as a top NFL QB.

    I don't really have an issue with the talent level & feel the off the field issues are much ado about nothing. My concern would be how he would hold up to the hits he will take in the NFL.

    I think the Jags could take him tbh. Khan has invested so much to attract people to follow the team & so far no success. Manziel is box office so would draw a huge interest level to whomever drafts him.

    Team Player Positon

    Texans Bortles QB
    Rams Robinson OT
    Jags Clowney DE
    Browns Manziel QB
    Raiders Evans WR

    Manziel is too exciting for the Browns. They'll re-draft Mark Sanchez or Christian Ponder somehow.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,017 ✭✭✭Leslie91


    Wow........ Evans!. I like him but would not have thought he'd go so high. The Raiders have always loved speed outside so I reckon they might actually pick Watkins if they go WR. Like HigginsJ I am not sold on Mack but other options might have been Matthews at Tackle, Barr at OLB or even Bridgewater!!.

    Barr isn't in the conversation at all tbh, his stock is way down. I love Bridgewater but I just think Schaub buys them time.

    It really did come down to Matthews vs Evans. I think both will be huge successes in the NFL but that Evans fills the bigger hole & apparently McKenzie & Allen need to win this year

    A lot of the reports are saying McCown will start which is interesting as Glennon showed a fair bit of promise last year

    Love the Mack, Watkins and Bridgewater picks there lads. If Bridgewater falls to the Vikings at #8 then every one of their fans should do the lottery that night :pac:

    Yup would be an absolute steal, definitely think he will be gone before that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,878 ✭✭✭✭Pudsy33


    I'll pick by tomorrow morning lads


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,906 ✭✭✭Barney92


    Sorry I meant to put Glennon/McCown in there. Not sure who will start yet but Watkins will help either. I like the Bridgewater pick, gives them a credible threat not called Peterson.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,139 ✭✭✭Red Crow


    This is moving very slowly again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,878 ✭✭✭✭Pudsy33


    My pick will be up in 5 mins, sorry lads


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,878 ✭✭✭✭Pudsy33


    Pick is in and blured pm'd.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 394 ✭✭Blured


    Pick made and Phatkev pm'd, very interesting spot to pick, but felt the Lions secondary really needed an upgrade.

    Would have taken Watkins or Matthews if they had fallen to me though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,638 ✭✭✭phatkev


    Titans pick made and malistheman pm'd. CB, OLB/DE and OT were the areas i felt were in most need of improvement, Gilbert, Robinson and Matthews all gone the pick was between Barr and Taylor Lewan. But I decided to pass up on someone with as many character flags as Lewan


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,017 ✭✭✭Leslie91


    Watkins great pick for TB but they still have problems in getting the ball to the WRs for me. Neither McCown nor Glennon are a longterm answer. Gilbert great pick for the Lions too, they always seem to need help at corner, like my Bolts.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 5,089 Mod ✭✭✭✭GoldFour4


    Pick will be made tonight at some stage

    I can def see the Lions going yo improve their secondary. I wonder would Ha-Ha Clinton Dix be considered?

    Can't wait for the Giants pick now, only 1 name I'd hate to see selected....

    Pick has been made and PaullyD messaged.

    Hope I didn't piss off HigginsJ :P

    Shocked more than anything, hadn't even considered that we would look to add a corner after adding Rodgers-Cromartie, Thurmond & Bowman to Amukamara, McBride & Hosley


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,710 ✭✭✭✭Paully D


    I'll have my pick in within a couple of hours lads. Away from the computer at the minute. Cheers.

    The way I figured, youth is always a good thing and guys don't necessarily perform the same when they switch from one team to another.

    It was between him and an offensive lineman so I went for the sexier pick :p

    Fair enough, I was fearing the Lewan pick but think it would have been the better option of the 2 tbh. I now have another "please god don't let it happen" selection to add to draft night worry!!

    Sexy pick would have been Ebron :(

    I really can't see the Giants taking a corner in the first couple of rounds. You never know though!
