And to answer the question I think the Texans take Teddy or possibly Bortles if he comes out.

Clowney has to be their choice. They will get a top line young QB in rd 2, the draft has 6 of them.

The QB available:

Murray
Mett
Manziel
Garofalo-if O'Brien is coach it's who I think they get.
Boyd
Hundley
Price
Bridgewater


So there's going one to be there in 2nd

Trade down or draft manziel

Texans need reason to fill the seats

No they don't. The situation in Houston isn't Jacksonville bad.

I would take the best pass rusher in the Draft with 1. Then grab Murray or mett in the 2.

I thought Hundley was staying? I agree with the strategy of going for a guy in the second I'm just saying what I think they will do. The Schaub debacle has a lot of people in Houston pissed and they just hired a guy known for developing young QBs.

I hope Dallas can get a DB that can actually play.

Then get a QB to replace Orton. If the Cowboys draft JFF I will be okay with it, as long as it's after a DB and a Tackle.

Ask WCA I have not been around much tv or sports until last night.

I think Hundley should leave if he rips up Virginia Tech though.

Exactly. They have sold out every game in franchise history even when they were terribad. I'd be shocked if they took Manziel and as an A&M/Texans fan I don't want him. They have enough pieces in place to win with a decent QB right away. Manziel is a huge risk they don't need to take and their entire veteran core could blow up if he doesn't work out, I think he could rub guys like Watt and Cushing the wrong way.

Hundley hasn't decided on whether or not to go pro. He's definitely a top twenty talent. Houston definitely isn't taking Carr. But, they could take a look at Bortles.


I don't buy into the idea of taking a guy coming off of surgery in the 2nd Rd. That's entirely to risky.

If they look later in the draft then Murray Boyd and McCarron would be my preferences. Mett could be great but I agree he's too risky coming off the injury and I want a guy with a little more mobility with the OL in sketchy shape.

Is Bortles the San Jose QB? I forgot about Carr.

Bortles is the UCF QB. Fales is the SJSU QB

The UCF guy doesn't impress me as much as the San Jose guy or Garofalo. I think people will be shocked to see that guy in good conditions.

I'm not great with names just know who they play for, so excuse me if I screw up names.

Tennessee,Minnesota & Jacksonville need a splash QB draft pick. Which makes me think they may consider Manziel.

I think Petty? from Baylor will be a good NFL QB also. He isn't as fast but he makes great throws.

I also like the QB from Miami if he can get coaching, he has an arm but no coaching. Miami has had awful QB play since Dorsey but they're talented (except Harris and Wright)

Early accounts have him sticking around Baylor for another year.Who knows, that may change after a good bowl game.

I think Tennessee sticks with Locker. They need OL and DL help. Now Bud isn't sabotaging everything, it should help.

Ya I agree. Locker was playing great this year before he got hurt. So was Bradford. I think both teams stick wit what they got at QB, and build the team else where.

i can honestly see them dropping down and taking manziel around 10-12

can you imagine the hype, Houston in an Aggie town and they would go nuts
