In Mel Kiper Jr.'s first mock draft, he has the Houston Texans selecting Johnny Manziel with the first overall pick.

"I spoke to a number of high-ranking NFL evaluators this week, and this is the one QB anyone felt certain was a top-5 pick," wrote Kiper.

Kiper ranks Manziel No. 11 on his Big Board.

The St. Louis Rams are slotted to take Jake Matthews, followed by Jadeveon Clowney to the Jacksonville Jaguars, Blake Brottles to the Cleveland Browns and Sammy Watkins to the Oakland Raiders.

Teddy Bridgewater is slotted to the Minnesota Vikings with the eighth overall pick.

If you rank him number 11 on your big board, and your taking him with the first pick. You have problems.

Well Kiper doesnt run the Texans, so him thinking Manziel is the 11th best talent while thinking the Texans want him are 2 completely different things.
