Why Drafting Johnny Would Make Sense To Jerry

Reasons why Johnny would make sense to Jerry:

1) The Cowboys need to find Romo's eventual replacement. Manziel can sit and mature for three years.

2) Johnny's draft stock has fallen- the team wouldn't need to spend a high pick (4th? 3rd at highest).

3) Star-power. LOCAL star-power!

4) Johnny's drama is nothing to Jerry. He's used to white lines and mink coats.

5) Scrambler - I've always believed that Jerry valued Romo more than anyone else to make up for his personnel mistakes on the O-line. Romo saves at least 10 sacks per year, covering Jerry's GM hide with the lack of talent up front.

 I HOPE I'm wrong, but does it not make sense?
