2303327, teams claiming they like Carr over Manziel, diversion?

first Cleveland, now the Raiders supposedly have Carr ranked ahead of Johnny

it's not unfathomable. Carr ran just as fast at the combine.
the tape shows he's elusive with the ability to extend plays.
he was *the* guy on his squad and got total effort from his teammates.
he's a bit bigger than Manziel, but he doesn't have the hype

not sure what his decision-making was like as far as making reads
and smart decisions, but if that checks out, he could be a surprise on draft night

Carr highlights: http://youtu.be/y5wr82ZRUjc?t=25s

includes a couple of throws where the ball travels 60 yds in the air,
him juking several defenders, and a number of quick back shoulder passes in the red zone

the 60 yd throw at 3:04 is particularly impressive as he barely had
an opportunity to step into it
