So it begins... Houston on the clock.

#1. Houston Texans-

Jadeveon Clowney
DE Junior 6-5¼, 266 lbs South Carolina

The best athlete in the draft. I don't give him that much shit for taking it easy his Junior year. His ceiling is higher than anyone in the draft. Watching him play as an outside linebacker in Houston's 3-4 defense will be a treat for years to come.

Him and Watt, that could be dangerous.

I agree. No QB is safe on 3rd and long against those two.

#2. St. Louis Rams-

Greg Robinson
OT 6-5, 332 lbs Auburn

Well St. Louis may have waited too long to protect Sam Bradford, but they have a can't miss prospect in Robinson. His pass protection concerns should be worked out with NFL quality coaching. In a stacked NFC West, maybe St. Louis can steal a game or two.

Now the draft gets interesting, do Jaguars take Mack, Watkins, or Manziel.

They could use all 3. I like Watkins, but we'll see.

The Rams are a team in my opinion, is a team that I do like down the line with the players they got.

For no real good reason I guess, I hope Manziel drops into a well.

#3 Jacksonville Jaguars-

Blake Bortles
QB Junior 6-5, 232 lbs UCF

First surprise of the night. Bortles was pretty much an unknown at the start of the college football season. I like Bridgewater and Manziel better as QBs, but Bortles looks the part better than those two. Guarantee he'll be better than Gabbert.

The Browns traded their pick to the Bills now, Draft getting interesting.

#4 Buffalo Bills-

Sammy Watkins
WR Junior 6-0¾, 211 lbs Clemson

My favorite player in the draft. This pick shores up any concerns the Bills receiving corps may have had. If EJ Manuel can't make this work, then he is not an NFL level QB.

#5 Oakland Raiders-

Khalil Mack
OLB 6-2⅝, 251 lbs Buffalo

This guy came out of nowhere. Dominated the MAC, and put together some good tape against Ohio State. Ray Lewis said he was worthy of the #1 pick, and I'm definitely interested in seeing him perform on Sundays.

Gruden has the Manziel Erection.

I just wonder if the Browns traded down and still get Manziel.

As good as I'm convinced Sammy Watkins will be, I think Buffalo gave up a lot for that pick.

The Big thing is a number 1 pick next year.

#6 Atlanta Falcons-

Jake Matthews
OT 6-5½, 308 lbs Texas A&M

Another can't miss prospect who comes from a legit NFL bloodline. I'm not a big Matt Ryan fan, but Matthews would make any QB look better.

Josh McCown likes them big from what I've heard.

#7 Tampa Bay Buccaneers-

Mike Evans
WR Sophomore 6-4¾, 231 lbs Texas A&M

A tough, solid WR. I don't think his hands are the greatest, but he will make life much easier for Josh McCown.

Is it Manziel time and if it is why would u trade, Minnesota wouldn't have moved back if they wanted him.

Yes. Strange.

#8 Cleveland Browns

Justin Gilbert
DC Senior 6-0⅛, 202 lbs Oklahoma St

Hmm... Cleveland taking defense before offense. I am surprised by this pick, but the Browns will have a solid defense. Believe it or not the Browns aren't that far away.

Watching NFL Network, thinking defense with Vikings, I think it should be Bridgewater.

#9 Minnesota Vikings-

Anthony Barr
OLB Senior 6-4⅞, 255 lbs UCLA

Converted RB. Will make plays in the NFL, but there are better players on the board who fill more pressing needs in Minny.

Do you think Manziel goes to Dallas, there is possibly 2 teams before them that could take him.

#10 Detroit Lions

Eric Ebron
TE Junior 6-4⅜, 250 lbs North Carolina

This pick makes the Detroit offense unquestionably one of the more exciting units in the league. I'm a fan of Stafford, but if he can't make this pick work I'll rescind my fandom.

At this point I really think Dallas is the spot for him. Romo is getting older. Manziel could sit a year.
