Manziel and Heisman Trophy

Johnny Manziel just re-affirmed why he was the 22nd player drafted; today he was indicted on a misdemeanor assault charge in Texas - evidently his girlfriend didn't appreciate his hitting her repeatedly. Manziel dropped down to 22 even though he had won the Heisman Trophy; this year's Heisman winner isn't even projected to be drafted in the first round. Derrick Henry isn't even the first-ranked running back - Ezekiel Elliot will be drafted ahead of him. This is a testimonial that, while the Heisman is the most prestigious award, it is (no longer) an indicator of a "sure thing" or even a first round draft pick. Have to say that the Heisman has been "tarnished" by both Manziel and Winston - unfavorable publicity surrounding them has led to the Heisman being less of a character award than it once was.

The NFL GM's have made it very clear where the priorities lie - QB is highest...and running back has dropped down below WR, where the skill positions are concerned. Quality linemen and defensive linebackers and coverage players - they have risen to be just below the quarterback, priority-wise. One reason is that they are becoming more of a "sure thing", a player who can start right away, and make a difference. So the draft order appears to be...
#1 Jared Goff (QB, Rams); #2 Carson Wenzt (QB, Eagles); #3 Laremy Tunsil (OT, Chargers); #4 Jalen Ramsey (CB, Cowboys); #5 Jaguars - anybody want to chime in?
