Yes.

Woud have rather of had Dennard of MSU to help our secondary but Dee Ford is a speed demon.

The thing that surprised about the Ford pick was them looking past his injuries.

MRW KC picked Ford

In answer to the question about Manziel.....Never in a thousand years. He is a nightmare waiting to happen.

That was the impression I got when I saw him come up to the stage - he did something that looked like he was saying "give my money u fools"

Obviously, none of us know Johnnie Manziel personally and I haven't heard about his interviews with various professional coaches/organizations.He did show some immaturity in the past because he received so much success and notoriety early in his college career.However, things I have read and heard about his pro day is that he has very large hands, has a big time arm throwing the long ball, is a very accurate thrower, in addition to his ability to run. He at this time doesn't know how to sit in the pocket, etc. If he can wait a year or two to play, he may have a chance to be very successful.

The money thing was, "I am money."

This is true in that we don't know "Johnnie Football" but his demeanor and the way he disregards local laws tells me he feels he is above the rest of society and really doesn't have to follow any of the rules the rest of us follow. Given that many young people will drink before they become of age it is his in your face attitude that he really doesn't care what others think and he will do what he wants leaves me with "my" opinion of him. I only wish he had been drafted by Oakland.

Pogo. We don't disagree. That would be the immature behavior I speak about. Only time will tell if he can grow up. Some of what the Cleveland front office believes regarding his immaturity would have been derived from their long interview process, what he admitted to past behavior and where he says he is going to go from here. We weren't at his interview and therefore his final story has not been told yet.
