And with the first pick the Houston Texas select…..? Football junkies will get their fix with the NFL draft upon us. Some of the selections will be questioned, frowned upon, and loved. But the biggest question of all is who will be number one.
Being number one isn’t what it used to be. We saw Sam Bradford get $50 million before he even touched a blade of NFL grass. But this year’s number one has a bit of intrigue. Johnny “Football” Manziel dazzled fans and scouts with his improvisation skills and will to win. Jadeveon Clowney was a man amongst boys. His aggressive nature and relentless motor made stopping him or blocking him impossible.
NFL teams are put behind the eight ball every year hoping that the first pick is the lightening in a bottle they thought it would be. Most general managers have to determine picks based on want, need, or best available. Taking a quarterback is risky because many teams are in win now mode and throwing a rookie to the wolves could be detrimental for the organization. And taking any other position could help but not get the immediate results desired.
So who will it be Johnny or Jadaveon? Because in the words of the great Ricky Bobby: “If your not first your last.” And Thursday night we’ll see who’s number one. Let us know who you think will go first, leave a comment or hit us up @FrontOfficeNews on twitter.
