And to think Jerrah had to be overruled by people in the organization to avoid trading the farm to get old Johnny Football.
I think you're confusing stories. The Cowboys didn't need to trade up for Manziel and I don't remember that ever being anything more than pure media speculation (because they wanted it so badly).
While I'm sure there was some debate in the room (and probably more in Jerry's head), I know Garrett and Stephen Jones were strongly against drafting Manziel, especially with the Cowboys' salary cap problems and having Romo already signed to a large contract.
If the Cowboys drafted Manziel, I see things could have unfolded in two ways.
1. Manziel gets help with rigid structure and support to help him deal with his issues.
2. Manziel's collapses in an even more spectacular fashion given that he's still in Texas.

i know he was a 20's pick but he might very well be the worst first round draft pick of all time
it's not like he was this all world workout warrior. he's small, has an avg arm and has avg speed and came out of a shitty offense. he's a guy you take in the 5th round and hope he develops into a backup not a first rounder
so he never should have a first rounder in the first place.
on top of that, he has literally never done one positive thing ever in 2 years.
Show me one first rounder that was black balled form the league after 2 years. shite at least Lawrence Phillips had talent
