re: WTF? Kiper's 1st Mock Draft has Manziel #1 to Texans

Ok, gotta ask yall, I have been a Teddy fan for several years now and I have wanted him in JAX since his freshman year. All my friends hate him (their guys are usually worse, one dude kept telling me JAX needed McCarron) but I wanna hear from yall: what's the beef with Bridgewater? Please god tell me it isn't just that he's a big east QB.

Bortles is impressive but I still rather have Teddy. JFF would bring hype and excitement but with the Jags woes I feel like we'd mail him back to College Station in pieces. So why not Teddy?

I think the greatest thing about this draft is that you can basically have your pick of what traits you think is most important in a QB.

Manziel - Mobility, Vision, Fun to watch
Bortles - Prototypical size, big arm
Bridgewater - Accurate, good feet, great feel for pocket
Carr - Best deep ball in the draft
McCarron - Leadership and Intangibles, slightly above average physical tools
Murray - College Production
Mettenberger - Upside, Big Arm, may need time to develop
Shaw - Toughness, Man's Man, Dual-Threat

So basically it comes down to what you want in your franchise QB. Do you want a Russell Wilson type player (Manziel) or a Joe Flacco (Bortles)?
