Jaws wouldn't take Manziel until the 4th
 

Ron Jaworski: I wouldn’t take Manziel in first three rounds

Most of the discussion regarding Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel’s football future has centered on whether he will go in the first three picks.

Former NFL quarterback and current ESPN analyst Ron Jaworski is taking a contrarian view. During an interview on 97.5 The Fanatic in Philadelphia, Jaworski was asked about the Eagles meeting with Manziel at the combine and said he liked the idea because it is a way of stockpiling information on a player you’re likely to play against at some point.

As for the idea of taking Manziel? Jaws isn’t so keen on that for the Eagles or anyone else in the league.

“I’m a big believer in Nick Foles, but who knows?” Jaworski said. “Manziel may fall. I’m not crazy about him, to be honest with you. I’ve only looked at five games. I wouldn’t take him in the first three rounds. That’s my opinion. It’s incomplete right now. But he has not done a whole lot to me.”

Jaworski has always taken strong opinions about quarterbacks and they don’t always follow the orthodoxy, so it’s probably fair to say that he doesn’t mind being an outlier on this front. Still, it would be perhaps the greatest shocker in the history of the draft if Manziel were available on even the second day of this year’s draft

Manziel is the next Vince Young.

He can ask Geno Smith what it was like to be drafted in the top 5. Oh wait.....

Quit insulting Vince Young.

That's kind of the feeling i get too.

I bet he won't be there in the 4th.

Lol that is incredible. Some analysts predicting he may go first overall, and some not till the 4th round?

No way he lasts until the 4th round.

Manzel is a baller. If he's there when we pick in the 1st we better make that move.

He may go within the first 5 picks, but I'm betting he never ****ing plays like a top 5 pick QB.

1.1

Jaws had a rough 2013 with his takes on Kaepernick and Schaub.

Also had Gabbert over Newton. Jaws is just another guy.

This feels a lot like the '05 draft, doesn't it? Rodgers got a ton of hype during the season and fell to 24 because...well, because. I doubt Bridgewater drops that far, but I'm beginning to wonder where he will actually be picked. Top 10? Top 15?

This is a QB starved league, no way Bridge falls out of top 10.
