Here's the top 5.
1 Houston 2 St. Louis (from Washington) 3 Jacksonville 4 Cleveland 5 Oakland
Questions I have:
* Will Johnny Manziel go in the top 5? I say yes. The Browns are apparently hard for him. However, I'm not even sure he'll last until 4.
* Is there any chance that Clowney falls out of the top 5? I've seen a lot of projections of him slipping to Atlanta at 6. That sounds like crazy talk. I haven't watched much college football this year, but give me the guy who was probably pro-ready LAST year.
* Will the Rams trade that #2 pick? It seems like they could get a ton for it. I could even see the Browns doing that thing where they trade additional second rounders (or that extra first from the Colts) to move up one or two spots.
* Is there any chance the Texans don't take Bridgewater? Might they go with Manziel? He'd be huge there, obviously.

Maybe I just tuned into bad games, but whenever I watched Bridgewater (admittedly only two or three times), he never struck me as a number one pick. I don't know.
Manziel really improved this year from last in the basic fundamentals of a QB. His rep is obviously as a party guy, but he put in the work. I just don't think Bridgewater is appreciably better than Manziel.
Houston needs so much help though.

So that'll be interesting to see if Manziel leapfrogs Bridgewater for the #1 QB spot. Is he a guy that'll show well in the combine? I literally have zero idea about any of these guys: Manziel, Bridgewater, Carr, Hundley (?) et al.

The good thing about Bridgewater is the myriad nicknames Chris Berman can come up with.

Now that Charlie Strong and possibly his OC are coming to Texas, I re-watched every Bridgewater game and have changed my opinion to "he's one of the better developed college QBs in last 30 years". That is all.

So if Manziel's sitting there for Cleveland..do you want him?

Never really saw him - or any high profile QB - play this year. I do kind of like him and they way he actively trolls the NCAA. So yeah, I'll take him on my side.

If he's a Cowboy I'm personally driving to Dallas to strangle Jerry.

Well then. Dallas passes on Johnny Football and he comes to Cleveland. Vikings take Bridgewater.
I can't claim to know jack squat about college players, but it does seem like Bridgewater is the steal of the draft.
Then again, the Browns somehow got Buffalo's first round pick next year.

People are getting all jittery that the Browns haven't drafted a WR after the Gordon news. That's silly. A 4th round WR isn't going to make a lick of difference this coming year. I'd rather sign Miles Austin or something.
