That's funny. I remember watching when Dallas was on the clock and Jerry's son slamming the phone down irritated, I figured a tradeback fell apart.
I'm fine with Shazier, but I wonder why Clev didn't try to trading with the Steelers? They have in the past, ownership has a relationship, and many divisional rivals trade all the time, including R1. I dunno. I'm pretty sure Dallas was more than a willing partner, and have shown they'll take less than the TVC exchange rate. I can only guess that Cleveland was just feeling out threats to take Manziel, weren't really serious about trading up unless they got spooked, and as a result were probably offering way too little to move.

I'm still very confused why Miami didn't have interest with either the Steelers or Cowboys to trade up and get Martin.
They really thought Ju'waun James was in the same tier of talent? Miami was extremely active in days 2-3 with trading.
Really curious how that's not a story nationally or at least in the Miami market.

I think part of the reason that Manziel dropped was simply the fact that a lot of teams picking in the middle of the first round (like us) didn't need QB's.

Could it have been a mass text to multiple teams? Who actually WANTS to go to Cleveland?

Story i've heard from Fins fans is that They couldn't find anyone to trade down with, and didn't think he'd be available with their next pick, so they panicked and took him in the first.

It's been reported that the Cowboys were actually on the phone with Shazier when the Steelers drafted him, so maybe that's why he slammed down the phone.

That's my thinking. They didn't want the great "Johnny Football" sitting in the room by himself looking like the total tool that he is.

It is going to be a pleasure watching JM prove his mediocrity on a weekly basis this season.

maybe he was just thirsty and meant "draught"? He could have thought he was ordering from Hooters.
