Johnny Manziel, QB, Texas A&M
Selection made by Nicholas John, The Pewter Plank
Here is the analysis on the selection:
Reports of the Buccaneers flirting with idea of drafting Johnny Football have been widespread for the past couple of weeks, and with Sammy Watkins and Khalil Mack gone, it would open up the opportunity for Manziel to come to Tampa and make those reports a reality.
The Bucs like Mike Evans, but WR talent is deep in this draft, and with a similar WR like Vincent Jackson on the roster, they’ll choose to target that position later on.
