--Momentum is gaining for the Atlanta Falcons moving up for Jadeveon Clowney. Not saying its going to happen; Id list the odds at 40 percent. But if the Texans want to trade the No. 1 pick, the Falcons, as of this morning, are their best option.
--If Atlanta cant get one, they can certainly get to No. 2. St. Louis holds two first-round picksthe second and 13th overall choicesand you should put something close to the mortgage down on the prospect of them trading one or both of them.
--The top 10 of one team not in the top 10, though I do not know the order: Two quarterbacks (Johnny Manziel, Blake Bortles), four tackles (Greg Robinson, Jake Matthews, Taylor Lewan, Zack Martin), one defensive tackle (Aaron Donald), two pass-rushers (Jadeveon Clowney, Khalil Mack), one wideout (Sammy Watkins).
--Manziel stuff
If I had the first pick in the draft, said an NFL offensive coordinator, Id take Manziel.
Come to find out that one team, at the NFL Scouting Combine, spent the entire 15-minute individual interview period with Manziel talking only about his personal life and his run-ins with trouble. When the horn blew to signify he had to go to his next speed-date, Manziel asked team officials and coaches in the room, Any football questions? There was none
I absolutely buy Dallas interest in Manziel
Theres a rumor (apparently faulty) making the rounds about the Eagles moving up to try to get Johnny Manziel.
