February 27, 201412 yr “Manziel may fall. I’m not crazy about him, to be honest with you. I’ve only looked at five games. I wouldn’t take him in the first three rounds. That’s my opinion. It’s incomplete right now. But he has not done a whole lot to me.” Ron Jaworski: I wouldn?t take Manziel in first three rounds | ProFootballTalk
February 27, 201412 yr Author Agree or Disagree? Although I would be scared to take him at the top of the draft surely he is worthy of a 2nd or 3rd round pick, right?
February 27, 201412 yr Agree or Disagree? Although I would be scared to take him at the top of the draft surely he is worthy of a 2nd or 3rd round pick, right? Where do you honestly see him 4 years down the road?
February 27, 201412 yr I tend to agree, IMO he's a 1 read QB then makes things happen with his legs. He's a gamer and a play maker who is fun to watch but I don't think he'll make it in the NFL long term as a QB. I forsee a career similar to Tebow's. If he is successful on the field I can't imagine he'll be able to stay in his shoes with all of the freedom, money and fame.
February 27, 201412 yr Author Where do you honestly see him 4 years down the road? Worth the risk of more than a 4th round draft choice.
February 27, 201412 yr Worth the risk of more than a 4th round draft choice. I don't know. I just don't see him doing much in the NFL.
February 27, 201412 yr Agree or Disagree? Although I would be scared to take him at the top of the draft surely he is worthy of a 2nd or 3rd round pick, right? Yes, I think so. On a good team I think he would do very well on a poor team where he is having to carry the entire offense I think he would struggle. But this kid does appear to have that "IT" factor and seems to be able to make stuff happen...love to see him in Philly!
February 27, 201412 yr Author I don't know. I just don't see him doing much in the NFL. So he is off your draft board?
February 27, 201412 yr I totally disagree with Jaws. And I am not a fan of the kid. But I have a feeling he's gonna be a significant player.
February 27, 201412 yr Not sure where I would pick him, but I would think injuries will play a factor in his career.
February 27, 201412 yr I totally disagree with Jaws. And I am not a fan of the kid. But I have a feeling he's gonna be a significant player. I do see him being a significant player, but more of a flash in the pan type player. When drafting a franchise type quarterback with one of the first few picks of the draft, a team has to be looking for a guy who projects to be a 10+ year type player......aka, Andrew Luck. I just don't see Johnny Manziel being that guy. For instance, what does Johnny Manziel have that Vince Young doesn't/didn't have. Vince Young had a very underachieving NFL career versus level of expectation.
February 27, 201412 yr So he is off your draft board? Not off the board, but I'd wait until at least 4th or 5th round.
February 27, 201412 yr I agree with Jaws. I just don't think his style of play will translate well to the NFL.
