            This year’s NFL draft was great. Many trades and lots of surprises happened.
The Houston Texans with the first pick of the NFL draft, drafted Clowney. Clowney is supposedly one of the best pass rushers to come out of the draft. The Texans now have a great dynamic duo with J.J. Watt and Clowney.
            The Browns drafted Johnny Manziel with the 22^nd pick in the NFL draft. Teams passed on Manziel, because they don’t know if he make the transition to the pros. Manziel is a unique quarterback. Manziel can keep a play alive with his legs. Manziel is going to have a rough season this year, because of the loss of Josh Gordon. Josh Gordon is the best wide receiver for the Browns, and that’s a huge loss for a rookie quarterback. Let’s hope that Manziel has a terrific season, good luck Johnny football.

            The Bills traded up in the draft to get Sammy Watkins. Watkins was the best receiver in the draft. Watkins is a great pick for the Bills organization, because of his explosiveness and his hands. The Bills made the right decision moving up to get Watkins.

            In the draft many of the SEC quarterbacks didn’t get drafted till the end. AJ Mccarron the former Alabama player got drafted to the Bengals. Mccarron is experienced and knows how to win. Zach Mettenberger got drafted to the Titans. Mettenberger compliments Jake Locker, and he’s going to be a great backup. Aaron Murray got drafted to the Chiefs. Murray is a great quarterback and plays similar to Alex Smith. These three quarterbacks have the talent to start as rookies.

            All the teams got better in the draft. Good luck to all the NFL teams and have a great season. One more thing, 115 more days till the start of the season!
