Johnny Manziel

[hayn]

To my fellow forum members,

I was extremely shocked by the fact that Johnny "Football" Manziel was the 22nd. overall pick. My perception was that after Jadaveon Clowny, Manziel would be the next pick in the 2014 Draft. I had an out of body experience when the Cleveland Browns not only traded up to the spot but to actually draft Manziel.

All forum members know that I'm a fan of all 32 NFL teams. The purpose of this statement is that I've seen the Cleveland Browns fan base consistently disappointed year in and year out. I not only wish great success for the other 31 NFL teams, I wish and hope for the Cleveland Browns that this draft with Manziel can not only bring life and excitement back to such a storied franchise, but to simply achieve a decent 8-8 season, something that has not been accomplished in a very long time.

I've researched the great Browns era with the likes of legendary players Otto Graham, Jim Brown, and Coach Paul Brown to name a few playmakers. The many pre-Super Bowl championship games won by them is staggering.

I hope for the best for the Browns, and I also hope that this years collecting season brings in excitement and a renewal of the chase.

They snagged the best CB in the draft (deal with it Gladdy), grabbed a top-10 pick from Buffalo for next year AND Johnny Freakin Football.

Best 1st round in new-Browns history. Never been more pumped.

Cardinals had a chance at Jonny with pick 20, but last minute traded picks with the Eagles for a 26th pick and a 3rd rounder...WTF?!?! Now, I'm no football genious, but why wouldn't the cards pick him up to usher out old man Carson Palmer....I just don't get it!!!

Congrats to the Browns......Jonny might, if fact, be taking the Browns to the Super Bowl!!!...hehe

It's exciting to see North East Ohio residents pumped, like you are! Great things in the horizon.

I had several WTF situations last night as well. Let's see what happens in a few months.

Who is that guy?

I'm extremely shocked Jerry didn't take him. I'm happy b/c it was the smart thing to do(I'm a Romo guy) but I thought we'd do the same thing we always do & take the shiny new Porsche when we only need a Prius. I will say I don't like Johnny Football's attitude but he's fun as hell to watch. The Browns may still suck since Gordon will be out but they'll be on TV A LOT.

Who knows, this could become another Tim Tebow like scenario. For Clevelanders, this is a great oppurtunity in the media, as for a winning season, we will have to wait and see.

Darqueze Dennard, the best corner in the draft

Thank you!

Johnny Football in my opinion will still struggle out of the gate in Cleveland next season. They are in a really tough division with the Ravens, Bengals, and Steelers. I don't see them making a huge jump up just yet in that division.

Time and time again, the Cleveland Browns has failed to give what fans are looking for. For whatever reason, I can only hope and wait to see how all of this will happen as well as it's closure in December of 2014.
