While it's ridiculous that Manziel fell that far, am I wrong in thinking that Cleveland might actually be a pretty good situation for him? Well, except for the fact that it's Cleveland.
Richburg and Bitonio are optionsThe biggest thing that worries me is Cleveland's new black GM, Ray Farmer, who reportedly wasn't high on Johnny. But Cleveland has been a bottom feeder ever since the Browns were reincarnated as an expansion team, if Manziel's given a fair opportunity it could be a great landing spot for him to lead the team forward. They have a star receiver in Josh Gordon (who is also a major head case), Jordan at TE, and Tate might be a very good starting RB if he stays healthy. They also have a good o-line. I like Brian Hoyer but hopefully he doesn't come back from his knee injury and become a superstar that keeps Manziel on the bench for years. But all in all not bad at all.
Are there any other Whites likely to be drafted in the first round? Doesn't seem likely.
Glancing at the write-up on the Rams' first pick, Robinson. It's just as I said earlier in this thread, they're going to make him a RG. As a run-blocker with no lateral quickness, that's where he belongs, but a NUMBER 2 pick on a guard?? Only in the AA NFL.
Let's not forget how the other half of the NFL's restructuring plan works.
Bridgewater will likely now go to a ready-made playoff contender.
(Sorry for the thread spam. I haven't posted much this year.)
Arguing with a DWF on another board...
The Matthews clan is the greatest NFL family in the history of the NFL. Three generations of players and the two uncles should be in the hall of fame and one of the cousins is on the way to the hall too, plus I think they have another one in college too.Jake Matthews is a better tackle than Robinson. He's much better at pass blocking. He has more agility and quickness.
But Matthews lacks that magical "upside." The anti-whites promote the idea that only blacks can improve, only blacks have "upside." "Upside" is an excuse for promoting inferior black players over superior white ones.
Arguing with a DWF on another board and the guy said Manziel's throws were wobbly.
I didn't even know Manziel's throwing was even debated... Its always been his decision making and whether he could actually do the scrambles in the NFL.
The Eagles draft pass rusher Marcus Smith.
I wonder where Troy Murphy goes. I'm guessing 3rd round.
Murphy led the nation in sacks last year.
It looks as if Bridgewater will fall out of the first round.
