After Rams got Donald --- there was still attempts to get Martin by trading with Dallas. "Would have been expensive", said Fisher. They could have gotten Martin but would have been 2014 #2, 2015 #1 plus prob another #1 or close to it
That fell through so there was talk about getting Manziel in the low 20s by trading a #2, a 2015 #1 and more (maybe another #1 or #2)
In first pick they were looking at others besides Robisnon --- Mack and others. Fish said thee were "six guys" they were looking at the #2 overall.
Robinson, Mack, Matthews (in maybe trade down) .... don't know all others.
So agree ... Martin was someone they loved but after they got Donald they couldn't swing it. But they were looking at Manziel in the low 20s, even after Donald and the Martin deal didn't work.
I remember being in shock. wanted no part of manziel
I do admit, though, I had no problem with Greg Robinson being selected. Didn't think Jason Smith could happen again but it did.
