    It's faster if you just list ABM - Anyone But Manziel. No reason to list the other 9 top 10 picks, except Teddy B. He's more of a 30-something now.

    Which pretty much meant Bob would show up buck naked with a bib on.

    He'll be doing drills showing off his football skills. Everyone knows that he's athletically superior to anyone in the draft so there's nothing for him to prove by running the 40 again or anything like that. I'd imagine he'll do LB and DE drills.

    Clowney's pro day will be shown live on NFL Network beginning at 10am. If you're not near a TV at that time, go to jaguars.com/live/ (starting at 9:45) to see it.

    Clowney to the Texans is just a mere formality

    Did any of the drills show Clowney sacking the quarterback..???

    At least quarterbacks throw the ball on their pro day... WR catch the ball and running backs run the ball. Clowney is just doing drills. Lol...

    Yea he's a "no brains" pick with the #1 overall pick.

    Barring a trade down, I agree.

    So it looks like Romeo was the one who had him dropping in LB coverage.

    Picking Manziel would have been the same thing except we wouldn't have an elite defensive prospect

    Ideally would want Bridgewater but it doesn't seem so. I can live

    I think we go 9-7, 10-6 any way

    Agreed. Seems like we will pass on Manziel, hope he does not go to Jax and have to face both Luck and Manziel twice a year.

    Question is, how smart is Winston? Serious quesiton. Is he the type that BOB is looking for?
