if this is the case, then jerry will trade up to get him if he is within reach....money over team for Jerry
You are absolutely wrong. I would be shocked if they gave up draft capital to move up for anybody when they can draft a very good player at 26 no matter what and can still get a very good running back later in the draft. They have already interviewed more than several backs and a private workout with Miller.

Jerry doesn't follow logic. he follows the money. he seriously wanted to draft Manziel. he was thinking Jersey sales. now, some called it a bluff/show, but he would have done it if left unchecked.

so now, if as it was originally said, its true for the jesey sales, then don't be surprised to trade up into late teens if Robinson drops. dollars trump team with Jerry

True but Jerry and company have been a bit stingy at times with high picks on draft days. They got burned on the Claiborne move and they seem to now want to just stand pat or even try to move down.

He's not exactly wrong. And Jerry absolutely admitted he almost took Manziel because, in part, of the potential PR and exposure and the "flash" that Manziel had as a player would have for Dallas. He's admitted that Stephen and McClay were finally able to reason with him.

disagree. does jerry want to win? yes. I am not saying he doesn't. but winning isn't above all else for him. jerry makes business decisions above winning. he will not sacrifice everything in order to win a championship. even the zeke move was a business move, as Zeke wasn't selling jersey's anymore. if he did, Jerry would justify it and just redo his contract to lower the cost. he did have the manziel card in his hand. he would have handed it in, all he thought about was Manziel Jersey's selling like hot cakes.

Jerry is an 80 year old man.
