<![CDATA[Texans trying to trick us]]>I turned on espn today and noticed Mel Kiper revealed the #1 pick overall in his mock draft was Johnny Football going to the Houston Texans. My theory on this, is that the Texans might of just made a brilliant move.

By sparking a ton of interest in Manziel, they can trade down to 3 or 4, and pretty much be a lock for either Bridgewater (who might actually be the guy they want all along), or Clowney.

Either way, if they're able to get a team to give up the ship to move to #1 to get Manziel, they could make out with one of the biggest steals in recent history. I sure as hell hope Banner and Jim don't give up a ton to move to #1 to get Johnny..... If he drops to us that would be awesome, but you have to figure Bridgewater, Manziel, Bortles, Clowney, Matthews, and Watkins are most likely going to be the top selections....

What's your theory? am i overanalyzing this shit? Giving the texans too much credit?

LOL... so you give up our #4 and a player? magic beans?

Tastes like chicken??

Yup... 2 of them (surprised me, too)... 2010 (rookie year) and 2012... so he's batting .500. Can count on him in even years.

With an 18-30-1 record he's due to break-out any even year now...

I was high on Bradford when he came out of college..I just meant to say I was dead wrong on him...

Actually Moses' (Horwitz) brother Shemp (Samuel) was the original. He left to do some feature films and was replaced by brother Jerome who we know as Curly.

He was ironically nicknamed curly because of his curly hair. When he pitched his brother Moe to be the replacement Moe didn't think he looked funny enough. He then shaved his head and Moe broke out laughing.

Curly eventually suffered a stroke and brother Shemp came back to the act. There are actually episodes that because of editing you can see both of them.

oh I know. Im just saying that out of 200+ players to compete with for best over the course of a career he has a slim shot of coming out the best. I even said hes the best bet to succeed. Manziel is the QB I think has the best shot to succeed, and our ultimate need is QB, which is why Im pro-Manziel at 4.

oh I'm definitely against trading up with the 4 pick, unless we can do it without sacrificing 26, our 2nd, or any of next years picks.

By the time the draft comes around it will be clear that Clowney is the BPA. It will also be clear the Texans are going to take him. Sure, somebody might try to jump the Jags & Browns for a QB, but I'm not sure I see who has the ammo and/or need, so the Rams will sit at 2 and take Matthews. The Jags will have the first swing at QB and probably will take Bridgewater... So...

The Browns are going to pick between Watkins, Bortles, Manziel... For me, it's pretty easy to say I take Bortles, but I'm curious what will happen to his stock in the next 3+ months. I'd love to take Watkins, but there is a lot of depth at WR in the draft, and we can find a true WR2 into the 3rd round. Manziel... stay away! I've seen what he's done and I will root for him like nobody's business, but I can't see NFL QB (watch the A&M vs. Missouri game from this year).

Having said all that... I like standing pat, and picking any of Clowney, Bridgewater, Bortles, or Watkins... One of those guys HAS to be there when we pick and I'd be happy with any of them... Plus, if we go Watkins/Clowney, we can still try and get Carr with 1b (but PoG put the jinx on him by posting how he is his new man crush)

Exactly. The only thing that will piss me off in May is if we trade up. Bongwater, Clowney, Watkins,Manziel. Take whoever is left. Pretty simple. I wouldn't be upset with Bortles either, but I would put Teddy and Johnny ahead]]>https://brownsboard.com/post/379955https://brownsboard.com/post/379955Fri, 17 Jan 2014 00:38:10 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to Texans trying to trick us on Fri, 17 Jan 2014 00:32:13 GMT]]>

I think that Bradford could easily take the next step up given a couple receivers to throw the ball to. You give him Gordon and Cameron alone and hes light years ahead of what he had in St Louis.

🙂 Thanks for the insight, Mr. Film Expert. I've loved the Stooges since I was a little kid, but never knew that.

better than what's coming out as QB and NFL road tested that he can take a thumpin.

give him an OL a RB and some receivers and the guy would be great.

unfortunately for him he's like tim couch on our '99 team. a man standing alone on an island with wiilson.
