Okay, Manziel went to the Browns. Good for Goombah!
I didn't want Manziel at #4 and was mad when they traded out of #4 and could have taken Sammy Watkins. But Manziel at #22 is good IMO. Whether he works out time will tell, but I give the new Browns GM credit for showing some guts.
I agree that Manziel at #4 would have increased the possible downside of an already extremely risky proposition. If they didn't make the trade, they could have still picked up Manziel at 26 and have had Watkins, who is a talent that doesn't appear in the draft every year. Manziel would then have what could likely have become the best WR tandem in the league with Gordon.
Of course,it is very questionable whether Manziel can achieve a high level of success, and what would be the point of having two unusually gifted receivers on the field when the qb can't find them or is running wildly.
I thought the Bengals lucked out in having Denard fall all the way to them. Apparently the draft is rich in secondary players after the the first few standouts.
Good luck, goombah. Are you happy with the new coach in Cleveland?
