Good thing Jerry wasn't in charge of the draft last year. We would have Johnny Manziel instead.

I don't think Jerry was ever really considering Manziel. Think that was more of a smoke screen trying to make our pick more important as trade value (for anyone that really was wanting him)

Considering Jerry said he wanted Manziel after the draft was over I don't see how draft trade value has anything to do with it.

I don't know. Wanting him & considering drafting him in our spot is two different things. I never thought we were ever close to drafting him.

Guess we'll never know, but I have a feeling others had to tie Jerry in a chair and shove a drink in his hand to keep him off of the phone.

Did you read the link I posted? Plus, we heard from enough sources that Stephen had to take the card out of Jerry's hand that I tend to believe it...

I think "had to take the draft card out of his hand" was said more tongue in cheek. I don't think that was meant literally. I have no doubt that Jerry wanted to draft Manziel and had to be talked out of it but I doubt he actually had the Manziel card in hand and it had to be wrestled away from him.
The passing on Maniel and drafting of Zach Martin is just more evidence that Jerry no longer has the final say on draft picks. Will McClay has been running the draft the last couple of years and I believe Stephen now has the final say on who the Cowboys draft.

Yes, the McClay/Garrett combo has been great
And hopefully McClay is rewarded handsomely for his work to date. Sure would hate to lose him.
