Johnny Manziel appears poised to be a top ten pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, and there are at least three teams who are showing more interest than the rest. According to Albert Breer of the NFL Network, the most interested teams in Manziel are the St. Louis Rams, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Minnesota Vikings.

St. Louis would have the most immediate opportunity to draft Manziel thanks to the No. 2 overall pick in this year’s draft, while the other two teams would need to trade up.

There is one interesting note about the three teams, however, as Bucky Brooks of the NFL Network points out.

The Rams (Jeff Fisher), Buccaneers (Lovie Smith) and Vikings (Mike Zimmer) all have head coaches that are defensive minds. By bringing in Manziel to their teams, they would not need to rely as heavily on his arm and could take some pressure off of his shoulders.

Where do you think Manziel should land? Sound off in the comments section below.
