If Houston wins and Washington loses, the Rams get the #1 pick in the draft, This pick from the RGIII deal is guaranteed top 3 no matter what

If Jacksonville loses and Washington wins, the Jaguars get the #2 pick in the draft

Tampa Bay has the highest SOS in the league and will pick at the end of any record grouping they're in

If I'm Johnny Manziel, I'm pulling an Eli Manning and making sure I don't play for Jacksonville. In fact, I think it'd be stupid not to.

Or he could show maturity for once in his life and play for the team that drafts him without throwing a tantrum. He is no more entitled to the "perfect situation" for him than anyone else in the draft.

Hey, after all San Diego is not the same San Diego it was when Eli got drafted. Yea, they haven't won a Super Bowl but they aren't as bad as they were then.

[Lights Out]

Eli and Archie also turned out to be right about AJ Smith... that being said, it was still a :censored:ty thing to do and undermined the integrity of the draft.

Will be an interesting draft, because i think 6 or 7 teams in the top 10 could take a QB.

Cleveland needs one desperately, and could see them going Carr/Bortles. The typical reach to grab a "boring" QB that won't bring any excitement or wins to a franchise.

Sure he is. Everyone is equally entitled, just not equally capable. He has the right within the rules to refuse to sign.

When you're talking about a career where you could make hundreds of millions of dollars by either winning super bowls or getting endorsements or being a big star, why on earth would you not capitalize on all that? Sure it's possible that all that could work out in say Jacksonville or some other forgotten about place like Tennessee, but you also run the risk of playing for a loser, getting pounded into the ground, and being locally famous for being the celebrity guest at every new car dealership opening. Or, you could star for a team that tries to compete every year in a market that's always covered locally and nationally, where your face is everywhere, and where you're an overnight star.

Doesn't sound to me like being an immature baby at all - sounds to me like being a businessman.

And this is probably one of the worst QB classes in awhile.

Another reason the Eagles could deal Nick Foles. They could probably get a ton back for him now. I'm convinced in him now - I want him to stay. But I'm not convinced that the organization sees him as their guy of the future.

It would be even worse if Bridgewater came back for Louisville next year (which is a remote possibility).

[GreenByrd5]

I like Johnny Manziel, so I'm just hoping that he lands anywhere besides Cleveland. The thought of rooting for a division rival just because my favorite college player plays there...

This could go into the "things you never noticed" thread, but I'll put it here. The Steelers finished second in the AFC North while the Ravens were third but Pittsburgh gets the higher draft choice because the first tie breaker is strength of schedule. I'm sure this comes up every year, first time I've ever noticed it though.
