A live look in at Manziel's private room in NYC

I guess we can add Manziel to this:

ha!

 

[Deep_South]

I'm happy with Martin, but it hurts deeply knowing we have Weeden instead of Manziel.

 

[DTown214]

why reach when we did not have too? 2nd, 3rd and 4th rd will supply some good talent on defense

True, and I would understand if Pryor and Clinton-Dix were off the board... But seriously, we really should've taken one of them. I know taking Ealy or Jernigan woulda been a reach... but Dix is a top 10 overall talent in this draft and safety is probably our biggest need behind d-line... Can't believe we passed up on them

 

[Eddie]

Nope. Playing it smart is not being a wuss. This is a good move and he deserves credit for it.

I prefer the tried and true rather than Jerry Jones gambling again.

Think of Weeden as our first round QB.

 

[IAmLegend]

Not sure how many of these Jerry's going to sell but get it while it's hot

Dix personally wanted to go to Philly, was one pick away, then the Packers picked him and he looked sick.

Yep. Our future is secure. lol

 

[Bay10]

The bengals love cb's.

It should read "NOT MANZIEL"

 

[DFWJC]

Bengals feel lucky, I bet.
Big need there

He could of sold a lot more #2 jerseys!!!!

 

[Miller]

@adamschefter
So in the end, Jerry Jones got Brandon Weeden and Browns got Johnny Manziel.

 

[IAmLegend]

Bengals feel lucky, I bet.
Big need there

And great value. I thought Dennard was the best corner in the draft, along with Fuller.

Just to be clear, I liked Manziel but wasn't in love with him and never expected us to take him. But I do think some people have gone overboard with the smart/safe/trenches talk. There's more to good drafting than just taking an OL every year, especially at 16 and especially a G/RT. This guy isn't Tyron Smith.

 

[Hoofbite]

Think of Weeden as our first round QB.

Yes. Our 30 year old 1st rounder.

 

[DFWJC]

Btw, I think Dallas very well may take a QB this weekend.

Maybe day 3

 

[links18]

So which TE are we taking in the 2nd?
