1, Trade down

 

2. Take Clowney

 

3. Take...gulp, Manziel. My reasoning? I think he's going to be decent, but not a star. At the same time, Houston has superb talent compared to most teams drafting #1 and can make him a Russel Wilson type guy. Not to mention, he's going to sale tickets/jersey, and this is a business.

Depends on if I thought I could get by with the quarterback I have.  If not I would draft the best QB in the draft.  If I felt no one would be worth drafting I would go with Kalil.  If not him then Clowney.  Would I trade down?  Sure if I could but not if you ask for a king's ransom.

manziel 

 

upside with this kid is unreal. lots of knocks on him sure but sometimes the "it" factor is too great to overlook.  the new head coach there could potentially have his franchise qb gift wrapped and delivered to his doorstep day 1.  

 

ask Ron how that worked out...  not comparing players but situations.

1.  Trade down.

2.  Bite the bullet and take Johnny Football.  Sure, Clowney has everything you want on paper but that translated to 3 sacks in college last year.  With the new rookie wage scale, I think you can roll the dice on that boom/bust QB much more than you could justify it before.  Houston has a good roster and is a QB away from competing.  You add Clowney to that roster and he turns out to be great, what have you really done?  You still don't have a QB.  In the NFL, you either have a QB and you can compete or you don't have a QB and you ultimately can't compete.  The rookie wage scale protects you from that franchise dooming high pick bust that cripples your franchise from a cap perspective.  Take the QB who you feel can be great.  I think that's Manziel.  I basically see him as a better version of Russell Wilson.

      Redzone Offense vs. KC by drive

      By Icege · Posted

      Bryce put it in a spot only his guy could get it only for David Moore to drop it. T_T Tremble and Horn both struggled yesterday and that killed me since they're two of my favourite players. Tommy knows he has to come down with this one. Folks were understandably saying that JT would've caught that had he not gotten hurt a few plays earlier. The more I look at this play, the more I think that Bryce made the right decision throwing it out the back of the endzone. He could have tried to laser it in to Thielen, but that safety is lurking awfully close inside. Insuring the field goal here after a 44sec drive to end the half was the right move.

      Except Bryce was the main reason we were in it

      NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.
