You are pretty sold on Houston taking Manziel. I think you have had that in every mock so far
Why is it you are so confident?
Is there buzz in Texas that Houston would take him?
Gary Kubiak is a Texas A&M homer with a lot of ties to that school both as a quarterback and running backs coach. He drafted Randy Bullock a few years ago instead of Legatron, Greg Zuerlein, just because he went to Texas A&M. I could definitely see them drafting Johnny Manziel in round one if they feel Case Keenum isn't the answer.
It's a huge advantage to see Case Keenum playing right now so that they can decide what to do in the off-season. Even if Keenum proves he can become a long-time starter, we're likely to release or trade both Schaub and Yates in the off-season, so we'll be in the market for two new quarterbacks. I suspect the Texans will draft a quarterback in the first, second, third or fourth round because it's a deep draft for quarterbacks.
They have a big need at inside linebacker, nose tackle and right tackle as well. I could see them going in that direction in the early rounds as well.
