Houston gets the first three picks and takes Clowney rather than Manzel. Welcome another loosing year for the Texans.
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

Interesting stuff..Bortles from UCF picked before Manziel. Manziel to Cleveland as the 22nd pick.

Houston needs someone on the offensive line.

Manziel may not last long in the NFL, he goes off script too much. It only takes one hit to end it all.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

That's what they said about Otto Graham, and his passing record stood until Joe Montana broke it in 95, 1955-1995. A true football badass.

For interesting reading check out the NFL combine reports. Pros & Cons of participants. http://www.nfl.com/combine/participantsSam runs a 4.9 40, which is slow for a DE. BOTTOM LINE A productive, 4-3 weakside rusher who came on as a senior and it made his last season his best. Could fit most ideally as a 3-4 outside linebacker in a zone-blitzing scheme like the Steelers or Ravens. Compares favorably to Chargers 2009 first-round pick Larry English, an overhyped, overdrafted, marginal producer in the pros.
