Manziel over Bortles on our board? I'm already losing faith in our process.

Johnny Manziel has been one of the favorites in the discussion of what the Houston Texans will do with the No. 1 overall NFL Draft pick.

But the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner might end up with the other team in Texas.

According to a report by ESPNCleveland.com, CBS Sports NFL announcer Jim Nantz says he has heard that the Cowboys will do whatever it takes to bring Johnny Football to Dallas.

"I've heard this rumor for a month -- the Cowboys will figure out a way to get Manziel," Nantz told ESPNCleveland.com. "Wherever Manziel goes, there is going to be more clamoring about Johnny Manziel than there would be about Blake Bortles going No. 1 or (Jadeveon) Clowney going No. 1, or anyone else. This is a guy that there's just a tremendous interest in everything he does."

There's been talk all offseason about the Cowboys' possible interest in the Manziel, but it didn't seem likely with Dallas picking 16th in the draft and quarterback Tony Romo getting a six-year, $108 million contract extension last year.

The Cowboys also signed former Cleveland Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden to a two-year deal last month.

But you never know what Jerry Jones will do despite dismissing rumors about Manziel earlier this year.

"No doubt in my mind [Manziel] is going to be an outstanding NFL football player," Jones said on KRLD-FM 105.3 The Fan. "But we have Tony Romo, and Tony Romo is our ticket."

Manziel has met with Jones this offseason and said playing for the Cowboys would be a dream come true.

"Growing up a Cowboy fan ... I was born at halftime of a Cowboys game," Manziel told the Fort Worth Star Telegram in February. "That would almost be a folktale in the correct direction."
 
 
 


So, Sully is Hostile?
 
If he was still there at 16, I could see it, but I'd be shocked if they tried to move up for him

I wouldn't mind at all if we take him at 16. But the last thing I want to do is trade up for him. Or anybody, for that matter.
 
Jerry loves Tony. The only way to get him over the playoff hump is to build a better team around him, and you don't do that by drafting a QB who won't even see the field if Tony is healthy or productive.

Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones also said that all the Manziel talk is "purely speculation."


Manziel has met with the Cowboys' owner this offseason and said playing for "America's Team" would be a dream come true.

"Growing up a Cowboy fan ... I was born at halftime of a Cowboys game," Manziel told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram in February. "That would almost be a folktale in the correct direction."
 
I think if Manziel falls to 10 or so we may look to trade up, but I don't see us trading up into the top 5-7 picks. I also think if he's there at 16 we take him 100%, which I'd be fine with.

No, not guessing.

Love how that seals the deal.

Uh well. Time to shut this thread down.

Move along, nothing more to see here.
