With the first pick in the 2014 NFL Draft... The Houston Texans select Johnny Manziel, Texas A&M

At 24 seconds. They ask him how he would feel if he played for the Texans. "It'd be awesome man. It's a blessing."



I'm starting to see the light. Teddy Bridgewater and Blake Bortles would be good choices also but Johnny Football would make our franchise relevant again. Every game at Reliant Stadium would be sold out. His #2 Texans jersey would become one of the highest-selling jerseys in the NFL.

College Station is only an hour drive away from Houston. The local fan base would be even larger and the faithful Aggies would go wild for every home game. Johnny Football helped Texas A&M generate over $740 million in donations and pledges last year. He's a cash cow and I'm sure Texans owner Bob McNair is at least taking that into consideration.

The team that drafts Johnny Manziel is going to instantly become a fun team to watch. Probably three primetime games in 2014.

I'll allow him on Houston, Minnesota, or St. Louis. Fuck Oakland, fuck Jacksonville.

He will be long gone before the Raiders come up to pick? I'm worried the Jaguars will select him at three and we'll have to face him twice a year.

He is going top four because three of the teams selecting in the top four are in dire need of a quarterback.
Also the Rams are shopping the second overall pick: A QB hungry team can trade up if needed for that pick.

Ryan, you should be more worried the Jags don't sign Tim Tebow. You don't want to face him twice a year...

The Texans went 0-2 against Tim Tebow as a starter. He had over 300 yards passing on us in the first win. We were what, 0-5 against Vince Young. Those running QBs give us a lot of trouble. The thing is Johnny Manziel is a far better passer than both of those guys were. He can also run like the wind and evade the pass rush. Would the Raiders draft Derek Carr at 5 if Bridgewater, Manziel and Bortles are off the board? I wonder if four quarterbacks could be drafted in the top five.
