Yeah i've heard that if Johnny declares he'd go later than 10 but if he has a season similar to last year, I don't see that many teams passing on him. QB's almost always shoot up the board, so I can easily see him going early.

Could be wrong though...

The thing you don't hear about Manziel, right now, is the off the field stuff. Manziel, at this point in his career is a lot like Roethlisberger while at Miami of Ohio IMO. In addition to his physical limitations, there are things that NFL Clubs are going to know about him that is not currently public news and that, IMO, is also going to push him down. He can have a year like no other in College Football but it may not matter if his physical limitations are such that it impacts the way he can play in the NFL, or to be more specific, the way his game projects into the NFL. It will push him down in the draft. Drew Brees is the perfect modern example of this. When Brees left Purdue, he owned the Big 10 passing records. Yards, TDs, Combined Yardage, Completions and attempts. From a production standpoint, he was probably the best QB to ever come out of the Big 10 at the time. Even with all of that production, his physical stature pushed him down the boards. Clearly, we can see that the NFL was wrong about Brees and they might be wrong about Manziel as well, should they come to the same conclusions, which I think they will, but the results will be the same as far as draft goes for Manziel IMO. He won't be a top 10 pick IMO. He might not even be a 1st round pick when it's all said and done.
