Can't get over his size/body type. Interesting opinions. I would think Russell Wilson's success would lessen some size concerns.

I wonder if the scout was Nolan Nawrocki? (just kidding, kind of).

I'm not a Teddy Bridgewater kool-aid drinker, but if that kid doesn't get a first-round grade, what does a QB have to do to get a first-round grade from this scout?

If he's listed at 6-3, the guy is at least 6-1. That's plenty of size.

It's silly. I look at Bridgewater and see the same general physical skill set (we'll see how it tests out in the combine) you get with Geno Smith, but he seems a bit more NFL-ready (intangibles/maturity).

I'd be more worried about weight then height. He's listed at 196. You can probably guarantee he's less then that. That's pretty small for his height.

Playoff bound.

The owner of the Houston Texans has already publicly stated that they will not be drafting a QB with their first round pick.

Racist much. This is ridiculous. Stow that race card bullshit.

I don't agree so someone else is stupid even though it is their profession and they have years more experience than I do. Who cares if they have a good record of picking talent.

The CP scouting department is the one that is clueless. Some people should have learned from the last few years.

Clark did the same shit last January. I wonder if these gms would like to tell owners to shut their damn mouths.

That's interesting since nowhere in this thread (or in the article) is Manziel mentioned. For all we know the scout has a 5th round grade on Manziel.

Clark was correct. I would imagine the Texans will follow suit.

No he was not. You don't tell everyone what you are or are not going to do with the pick.

He's a nice player, but I don't see "special" with him. I'd agree with what the scout(s) say.

From what I've seen, he has trouble setting his feet and he throws the ball with a half-arm motion that never gets over his ear height. He's also pretty scrawny, especially up top. No thickness to his frame whatsoever.

I wouldn't spend a first rounder on him.

Actually, I think guys like Fales, Boyd and Murray are pretty solid in the Round 3 area if you want to develop a guy.

The only guy I'd spend a first rounder on is Manziel just to see if those insane instincts net you a new Fran Tarkenton. Other than that, I take Boyd over the other guys. I think he's got a nice skill set, shown some grittiness and has a pretty high ceiling.

If I were Houston, I'd go with Matthews and get Cutler in free agency. That's a team that needs a guy to step in right now and deliver. They had a really weird year, but they've still got more talent than any team in the AFC.

Don't think I would agree with that part.

The Bengals probably have the most talent in the AFC.

A lot of their talent, is aging.

Ben Tate is going to be leaving. Foster hasn't shown to be able to stay healthy, nor has mr steroid.

I think there are much bigger holes on their team than people want to let on.

And you would take Matthews at one, despite them having Duane Brown?

I would for them, probably take Barr if not a qb.

Barr is a menace. Pair him up on the same side with Watt, have Mercilus on the other side.

That's pretty solid.

Or trade down with Cleveland. Then take Barr. And the extra picks.

Sac's love for drafting fatty o-lineman and all things Utah is well documented here.

I can respect it, if he can justify it.

I just don't see how you can justify it.
