Make Of It What You Will...

[SDogo]

*For the 2nd straight week Cowboys scouts will be in attendance to watch the Texas A&M Aggies. While there are some rumblings the Cowboys are showing interest in A&M QB Ryan Tannehill my bet is on Redshirt Senior CB Coryell Judie.

*As expected the Cowboys will be in attendance for what should be the first of several San Diego St Aztec games this season if early rumors hold true and the Cowboys are indeed as interested in Aztec QB Ryan Lindley as reports state. Lindley is holding a steady mid to late 2nd round grade in the early stages of the draft process.

*Cowboys scouts have cancelled a trip scheduled this week to visit Oregon adding fuel to the rumor that they have red flagged Ducks CB Cliff Harris. Off the field issues coupled with a electronically timed 4.7+ 40 in Spring Drills is probably not helping his cause.

*Take your guess but along with Texas A7M who I mentioned earlier, the only other teams the Cowboys will have scouted in consecutive weeks early into the season will be the Georgia Bulldogs and the Oklahoma St Cowboys.

*Other confirmed trips include, Georgia Tech vs Western Carolina, Baylor vs TCU, Ohio St vs Akron, Nebraska vs Chattanooga, Arizona vs Northern Arizona, Northern Illinois vs Kansas and UCF vs Boston College. I hope to have more updates later as obviously this is not a complete list.

[Picksix]

Given the interest that Garrett supposedly had in Dalton, I wouldn't be surprised to see us go QB early (like 2nd or 3rd round), depending on where we pick. Yes, I know we have other needs, like CB, LB, DE, but finding Romo's successor is also important.

For those other teams you listed, any ideas who we're looking at?

[Manwiththeplan]

IMO, this is a good time to take a QB. Kinta will either retire or won't be resigned, and Mcgee should be the #2 QB. That gives us room to develop another QB.

[Chris in Arizona]

Any idea if they were looking at Brandon Boykin, Kwame Geathers, and/or Ben Jones? All 3 look like solid NFL players with Boykin having a chance to be special.

For those other teams you listed, any ideas who we're looking at?

I fully expect the Cowboys to look QB early in this draft and by early I mean in the 1st three rounds. It's really just a strong feeling I'm getting from what I have heard.

Georgia Tech vs Western Carolina leaves me drawing blanks. My guess would be Tech CB Michael Peterson who has been making some waves early this year or Tech OLB/DE Jason Peters but I have nothing to support either of those names.

Considering one of the scouts sent to watch the Baylor vs TCU game has an extensive background working with Offensive Lineman I would assume Baylor OC Phillip Blake got a lot of attention.

Ohio St OT Mike Adams as well as OC Mike Brewster were with out a doubt the sole purpose of the visit to the Ohio St vs Akron game. I know the Cowboys have a great deal of interest in both those prospects.

Nebraska vs Chattanooga you can take your pick. I know for a fact the Cowboys love Nebraska DE Jared Crick and CB Alfonzo Dennard but they would have to blow this season to stand a chance at landing either. Interesting enough, this visit may not have had anything to do with the Cornhuskers and was more of an opportunity to scout Chattanooga QB B.J Coleman against top level competition.


Arizona QB Nick Foles is the obvious choice for Arizona vs Northern Arizona, I can confirm the interest there but just as much Arizona CB Robert Golden. I would expect this to be one of several trips to Arizona the Cowboys make.

I know there is a trend developing here but Northern Illinois QB Chandler Harnish is another QB I have heard tied to the Cowboys early and was probably the likely target at the NI vs Kansas game.

UCF CB Josh Robinson was with a doubt the reason for the visit to the UCF vs Boston College game. Matter of fact the Cowboys also have a tentative schedules trip to watch UCF vs SMU on October 15th as well.

[Bigdog]

SoDog, where have you been? I miss these little inside info we get from you and Hos. They are appreciated. Thanks.

Well Boykin is my early Pet Cat so I want to be a homer and play his cards. lol

Geathers is a BIG man but early in the process it once again appears the 325+ road block does not seem to be a target.

I think your headed down the right road with Ben Jones. Despite the youth movement along the OL we have seen so far, it appears Dallas is primed to make a real investment in the offensive line again this year.

It's obviously early but I wouldn't be surprised if we drafted Ben Jones or Michael Brewster next year. Brewster is supposedly very high on the Cowboys list.

Do we know if they like Robert Griffen at all

[RS12]

Crick at Neb.

[UnoDallas]

I've heard the Baylor QB Griffen.


no Please

[UnoDallas]

I love to get Brewster

but I think Costa has the job

I sure want Vontaze Burfict*, ILB, Arizona State
Height: 6-3. Weight: 245.
top 15

but don't think we will be in that vicinity



but would I will take

Tank Carder, ILB, TCU
Height: 6-2. Weight: 237.
Projected 40 Time: 4.65.
Projected Round (2012): 2-3.

[windward]

Juron Criner as well.

Hos, what do you think of Nick Foles?

[Hostile]

Hos, what do you think of Nick Foles?Is an NFL project. May sneak into the 1st round after the combines. Accurate, not the strongest arm, but smart with the football most of the time. I think he's a 2nd or 3rd rounder, but with QB it can go up and he is 6'4" and has the prototype build. Likeable kid. Probably fits best in a WCO style system. Plays almost exclusively form the pocket at UA and that transitions hard to the NFL sometimes. I have a feeling Oakland will fall in love with him. No idea why I feel that way. He is good enough to play at the NFL level with the right coach.

If Ryan Tannehill has a season like he can and build on last years he will probably shot up the draft charts. he also was a very good wr for the Aggies before the current crop of young WR.

[UnoDallas]

here my QB for 2012


Kirk Cousins, Michigan State
Height: 6-3. Weight: 202.
Projected 40 Time: 4.85.
Projected Round (2012): 2.
9/7/11: Cousins had some great throws in Michigan State's win over Youngstown State, but the Spartans didn't let Cousins air the ball out as much as other college quarterbacks. He completed 18-of-22 passes for 222 yards and one touchdown. The lack of attempts hurts Cousins' draft stock.

8/18/11: Kirk Cousins completed 66.9 percent of his passes for 2,825 yards with 20 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Like Foles, Cousins’ numbers were similar to his sophomore year production when he completed 60 percent of his passes for 2,680 yards and 19 touchdowns with nine picks.

Cousins has a big enough arm to be a starting NFL quarterback. He is a good game-manager that could be a good quarterback to install in a play-action-based passing attack with a strong running game. When given time to throw Cousins is very effective. He struggles and makes bad decisions when he gets defensive linemen in his face. He will have to improve that to have a shot at sneaking into the first round. Cousins has good leadership skills. The smart and efficient signal caller is the type of quarterback that should have a solid senior year and is a safe bet to be a second-round draft pick.

2012

QB James Vandenberg Iowa 6-3 #212

He has the tools to become a great quarterback one heck of an arm and a quick delivery, as showcased in 2009. He also spent a great deal of time learning from Stanzi, which no doubt included some of what not to do in a game situation, as well as learning how to watch game film

[Idgit]

I'd be pretty pleased to see us take a quality QB in the first two rounds of the draft. I'm torn, though, b/c we need two CBs, and one of those has to come in the first two rounds, too.

[SDogo]

Right now I could live with:

Round 1: CB, Chase Minnifield, Virginia
Round 2: QB, Nick Foles, Arizona or Ryan Lindley, San Diego St
Round 3: SS, Markelle Martin, Oklahoma St

[casmith07]

Oh man if we get Markelle Martin our defense will sing. Second coming of Roy Williams except he can cover.

Any word on QB Russell Wilson? He looked great from the pocket this weekend.

[Hostile]

I still want Deunta Williams when he is recovered.

[casmith07]

I still want Deunta Williams when he is recovered.

I hope he still wants to play football.

[TheFinisher]

I've heard the Baylor QB Griffen.

Wow, that would be awesome.

[JonJon]

Right now I could live with:

Round 1: CB, Chase Minnifield, Virginia
Round 2: QB, Nick Foles, Arizona or Ryan Lindley, San Diego St
Round 3: SS, Markelle Martin, Oklahoma St

I would be thrilled to have Minnifield. I'm also keeping a close eye on Casey Hayward and my dream Stephon Gilmore, but I think he might be out of range for us.

[Idgit]

Right now I could live with:

Round 1: CB, Chase Minnifield, Virginia
Round 2: QB, Nick Foles, Arizona or Ryan Lindley, San Diego St
Round 3: SS, Markelle Martin, Oklahoma St

You'd be ok with this? :p:

[BraveHeartFan]

Thanks for the information folks. It's a long ways off, obviously, but I'm going to be paying more attention to these threads this year and try and keep an eye on some of the folks you're all mentioning here.

[SDogo]

You'd be ok with this? :p:

:D
yes'um

[windward]

Right now I could live with:

Round 1: CB, Chase Minnifield, Virginia
Round 2: QB, Nick Foles, Arizona or Ryan Lindley, San Diego St
Round 3: SS, Markelle Martin, Oklahoma St

I could definitely see Minnifield. Didn't his dad play for Cleveland in the 80s?

[Chris in Arizona]

Right now I could live with:

Round 1: CB, Chase Minnifield, Virginia
Round 2: QB, Nick Foles, Arizona or Ryan Lindley, San Diego St
Round 3: SS, Markelle Martin, Oklahoma St

I'd go..
Round 1: C, Michael Brewster, Ohio State
Round 2: S, Markelle Martin, Oklahoma State
Round 3: WR, Joe Adams, Arkansas

I also like Janzen Jackson, S, McNeese State (formerly at Tennessee) and Melvin Ingram, DL, South Carolina as mid-round sleepers. I'm not sure which NFL position Ingram will play at 6'2", 279 lbs, but with his athleticism and versatility, I'm guessing Rob Ryan could find way to use him effectively.

[TheFinisher]

If we do go QB relatively early I'd like

1. Cliff Harris CB Oregon
2. Robert Griffin QB Baylor
3. Aaron Henry FS Wisconsin

[UnoDallas]

I still want Deunta Williams when he is recovered.

the only thing can he play at a high level

I am sure JG is all over that

[ThreeandOut]

I think the Cowboys would have a strong interest in Tannehill. He just seems to fit the current profile of the Cowboys QB very well (e.g. Romo & McGee). The Cowboys value a QB who can "extend the play" and with his mobility Tannehill possesses that characteristic. Also, he's been playing for a former NFL coach in a pro style offense.

[BigWillie]

Nebraska vs Chattanooga you can take your pick. I know for a fact the Cowboys love Nebraska DE Jared Crick and CB Alfonzo Dennard but they would have to blow this season to stand a chance at landing either.

If the early season is any indication, Crick may be blowing his senior season. Little effort, and has constantly been pushed around by inferior offensive lineman. He had a decent stat line in the opener, but overall it was a bad game. Followed that up with a horrid game against Fresno.

I love Dennard, but I get the feeling that his height concerns will be an issue. He's barely 5'10, but he does make up for it as an explosive athlete. Partially tore his quad, which is why he's been for the last month plus and hasn't played yet this season.

[Cythim]

If we do go QB relatively early I'd like

1. Cliff Harris CB Oregon
2. Robert Griffin QB Baylor
3. Aaron Henry FS Wisconsin

Cliff Harris can't keep himself out of trouble. It is small, stupid stuff but he drags his team down with him. He isn't good enough to overlook his trouble.

[silverbear]

Cliff Harris can't keep himself out of trouble. It is small, stupid stuff but he drags his team down with him. He isn't good enough to overlook his trouble.

Know also that he was electronically timed at 4.7 seconds in the 40 during a spring workout... hmmmm, you've got a 165 pounder who runs 4.7; nope, doesn't look like a worthy early pick to me...

In spite of having a great name...

Can't tell you how much I love this thread...

[Biggems]

Right now I could live with:

Round 1: CB, Chase Minnifield, Virginia
Round 2: QB, Nick Foles, Arizona or Ryan Lindley, San Diego St
Round 3: SS, Markelle Martin, Oklahoma St


How about Minnifield, Judie, and Martin.....2 young, strong CB prospects and 1 young, strong S prospect.

[Chocolate Lab]

Surprised no one has mentioned Weeden. He's overaged, but really talented and wouldn't need as much refinement as some of the others.

[Zaxor]

outstanding thread thank you...thank you :bow:


and by my one and only source who isn't an insider but knows someone who is :) I can tell you he also said we are looking at the Baylor QB. Sadly I know nothing about the Baylor QB as we get bigger named college games here in Germany...oh and my source has been wrong about 60 % of the time do to what I was told was sudden circumstances that changed the teams position.:p:

[ThreeandOut]

Surprised no one has mentioned Weeden. He's overaged, but really talented and wouldn't need as much refinement as some of the others.

I've heard that Weeden is actually older than Aaron Rogers.

[UnoDallas]

I tell you I want nothing to with Griffin

I mush rather go with

Ryan Lindley, San Diego State
Height: 6-4. Weight: 210.

Kirk Cousins, Michigan State
Height: 6-3. Weight: 202.

Chandler Harnish, QB, Northern Illinois
Height: 6-2. Weight: 220.

[BigWillie]

I've heard that Weeden is actually older than Aaron Rogers.

He is. Weeden will be 28 in October while Rodgers turns 28 in December.

[The Realist]

Ben Jones is my favorite pet cat right now but I'm hoping our young OL play so well we don't have go interior OL early. Plus we have Arkin/Kowalski on the bench.

My second favorite pet cat is Coryell Judie CB A&M, but CB is so deep I could be happy with any number of CB's.

IMO if the young interior OL play well we need to go CB, QB, CB.

Not sure why people say we need to go DL when we just signed 3 and drafted 2 plus kept Geathers.

[silverbear]

Ben Jones is my favorite pet cat right now

Good call...

[The Realist]

Good call...

Actually, I lied. If you include underclassmen it goes Peter Konz C, Ben Jones C, Coryell Judi CB.

[realtick]

Really like Nick Foles, QB from Arizona.

[CATCH17]

Watching Lindley think he needs a lot of help with his feet.

The A&M QB needs to show he can beat the blitz better.

[tm1119]

Why the hell would we not want Robert Griffin? The kid is incredible. Hes got decent size at 6'2 220 with WR speed(holds texas HS sprinting records) and a cannon for an arm. Of course hes still a bit of a project but 2 years on the bench learning and he could easily be Vick.2 if not better.

Hes completed 41 of 49 passes to start this season by the way. The kid is a legit QB, not another athlete playing QB like Vince Young or Pat White.

[The Realist]

RG III is legit, but we would have to be really, really bad to get him. Like 2-14 bad.

[realtick]

RG III is legit, but we would have to be really, really bad to get him. Like 2-14 bad.

You're kidding, right?

Griffin won't even sniff the 1st round.

He's not a legit NFL QB prospect.

[The Realist]

You're kidding, right?

Griffin won't even sniff the 1st round.

He's not a legit NFL QB prospect.

If you say so. We'll revisit this thread down the road.

[Manwiththeplan]

If the D-Line can continue to play at this level, then CB and O-Line would be where I go early.

[CATCH17]

If the D-Line can continue to play at this level, then CB and O-Line would be where I go early.

Is there a center or guard worth a 1st rounder?

[UnoDallas]

Is there a center or guard worth a 1st rounder?

Michael Brewster, C, Ohio State
Height: 6-5. Weight: 293.
Projected 40 Time: 5.08.
Projected Round (2012): Top 25 Pick.
9/10/11: Brewster had a strong start to the season as Ohio State rolled Toledo. The Buckeyes ran for 224 yards and won 42-0. Brewster will see a strong test from Marcus Forston and Miami in the third game of the season.


but I think has the job

[The Realist]

Is there a center or guard worth a 1st rounder?

C's Peter Konz and Ben Jones.

[trickblue]

You're kidding, right?

Griffin won't even sniff the 1st round.

He's not a legit NFL QB prospect.

If you say so. We'll revisit this thread down the road.

I think Griffin will be very sought after in the first round if he can avoid injury...
