Chatter I'm hearing is that Tampa is the only team in the top 15 who actually wants him.

 

That doesn't preclude someone outside of the top 15 from trading up for him.

 

If HOU trades out of #1, who is the most likely partner? ATL?

Yes, but Schefter reported earlier today that the Texans are going to use the pick (presumably on Clowney).

Jimmy Haslam has a "love affair" with Manziel, but it's unknown if Farmer and Pettine want him. Vikings have also been heavily rumored to have at least some interest as well.

 

The Rams have also been rumored a lot, but I expect that's just smoke. I don't think Fisher would want him. And in the wild speculation department, Peter King has said the Cowboys have interest in Manziel last week and Mike Mayock mocked Manziel to Dallas in his mock last night.

 

There's definitely a lot of interest there. If a QB drops like a rock, it's much more likely to be Bridgewater, which would be dumb.

Probably. I doubt a trade happens, though.

The Rams have no interest. They're just saying they do in a vain attempt to get another team to trade up to #2

 

Like I said, I expect that's the case, but the chatter is still there.

Anybody ever heard of Eric Galko of Optimum Scouting? He's apparently claiming he's hearing the Falcons may acquire Eric Berry tonight for a 2nd round pick.

 

No clue about his reliability, but that seems like an absolute steal for Atlanta.

Jeff Fisher just said he expects both the Texans and Rams to take the full time on the clock for their picks. Doesn't mean much about the Texans, but that's interesting that St. Louis expects to use the full 10 minutes. May not mean anything at all, but it might.

The chatter on sports radio today was that at some banquet last night Fisher said Bradford was the guy with him sitting right there. It would be a huge shock if they took Manziel at any spot.

Yeah, I would be stunned if they select him. I was thinking more in terms of the potential for a trade there.

My worst nightmare is the Falcons trading up to get Clowney.

 

I would like that very much. Keep him out of the AFC - and especially the AFC South.

 

I haven't had a chance to ask you yet...are you excited about having Dex on your team now?

Very excited, actually. Jason Michael is going to have to be creative with him, but I think McCluster will end up being the best acquisition the Titans make this offseason.

 

Plus, he now has a chance to redeem himself for shredding Tennessee's D a few years back.

I feel like whether I watch espn or NFL network, I lose

 

NFL Network is considerably better than ESPN in pretty much every way.

 

I'm in a hotel on a business trip. Stuck with Boomer, a criminal, Chucky, and Count Chocula.

Ouch. I get Eisen, Faulk, Mooch (really like him), Irvin (better options than him) and Mayock (one of my favorites).

I remember some newspaper in Memphis had the headline "I think I just saw McCluster run past my house"

I'm already clenching in anticipation of Emery overreaching for someone

 

The good thing is, in this draft, even if you reach, you're getting a really good player.

Nice. I'll never forget that game simply because of McCluster. Monte is probably still having nightmares of it.
