so, did Manziel's off the field antics harm him, or is this just the way the draft is set up for needs?



ehh I think it probably has to do with teams being uneasy about taking a player with his type of talent. You have to really be committed to building around him since he's not your traditional QB.

Team needs plays a big part in it too but ultimately they say you should always take who you feel is the best player in the draft unless you have zero need there I guess.

Crazy that this is the year of the QB, and only one has gone so far....

This is why people tried to warn Manziel about being a count all last year.



I don't think that has anything to do with it. It's all about Johnny not being the prototypical QB, and GMs wanting to play it safe. If he'd been a saint, it wouldn't have helped him one bit.

Bortles has the LOOK of an NFL QB. the others are a little smallish.

Eta: besides Mett

He won the Heisman

I have to respectfully disagree.

For Tampa it was as simple as the need for someone like Evans across from VJax was bigger than taking a QB. Lovie liked Bortles but don't know how he felt about Manziel.

Right now it's a needs thing.

It just helps to prove more and more how full of shite McShay and Kiper really are.

They have their agendas and they push certain guys every year. There has to be some kind of kickback in terms of money because they that shite every year.
