Some people can try to discount the size issue, but you simply don't take guys of 5'11" or 6'0" or whatever height Manzier is in the first round.  Drew Brees and Russell Wilson, for all their talent, weren't taken in the 1st rounds of their respective drafts because the odds are heavily stacked against someone of that stature and most GMs know it.  There is a greater likelihood that Manzier will cost the Browns GM his job in a couple of years than there is that Manzier will turn into a franchise QB.  He might end up being a franchise guy, but you just don't take him in the 1st round unless you panic and I think that's what the Browns did.
