What is your 1 draft prediction(Cowboys or other)

[Canadian BoyzFan]

Mine is......if Mike Williams is there at 11, we will trade down.
What is your 1 prediction?

[dbair1967]

1) niether high profile Texas player goes top-10 (Benson, Johnson)

2) Mel Kiper will have used 648 cans of hairspray between Friday night and the end of the draft


David

[speedemn]

I hope your right, abair1967

mine is....(abair1967 is right)....and we will take mike williams at #11 or get
one heck of a blockbuster trade out of him...and if we do get a big trade
out of him....we will still get our DE...like SM or DW a few spots down.

[MiStar]

Mine is that cowboys will try to target Considine in the same way that we targeted Julius Jones last year.

[Dyluke]

I woud be happy if the first 3 picks ended up looking like this:
1A) Mike Williams
1B) J.Tuck
2) B. Poole
I would much rather have a D.Ware with that 2nd first rounder, but he just will not fall that far. Therefore i predict a trade down at the 20 spot, and picking up J.Tuck with a late first/or very early 2nd.

[Natedawg44]

I think we go Defense with the first 3 picks

Ware has a better shot of falling to 20 than MW does of falling to 11...

[Qwickdraw]

That the Cowboys draft Roddy White with their #20... if he falls there.

Or is that just wishful thinking...

[edwardo]

That Dallas will trade down from spot eleven and they will trade down from spot 20. To do so, they will secure a number one next year, a number three this year . . . and this is where we get rich for a team that just has to move up, maybe another pick this year in range of third or fourth round and a pick in the four to five round. And, that in doing so, Dallas still retains picks in round one, just much lower for each respective pick.

Stated differently, we move down with each first rounder, and secure extra picks in this year's draft, say a three, and two more picks -- one out of either the second or third round, and, the other one out of the fourth or fifth round. Plus a one next year.

For example, if Green Bay comes calling at our twenty spot, we exchange first round picks for their number one next year. OK, they are not this stupid, but you never know if the right quarterback is there on the board. More likely, we make exchange of first rounders and secure their third and their four this year.

For example, if the Rams want our number eleven so they can draft a left tackle, then we demand a number one next year. We would exchange first rounders this year and then move down eight spots in doing so; for this we want next year's one and something this year like a four.

If the Texans want to move down and ahead of the Chargers or whomever the Chargers might trade to, then we demand the number one next year; if they balk, we can settle for their number three this year and a number three next year.

These amounts might be off but the overall strategy of moving to gain picks is something Parcells will do with a vengence; the difference is he knows what to do with the booty. If you doubt this, go grab a cold one, say Julies Jones, Julies Jones, until you have consumed mass quantities of beverage, then you will sleep like a baby.

[StonetheCrow77]

there will be one Cowboy pick that ticks everyone off...

[WDN]

Ware


Spears


and

Bullocks.

[Hostile]

I guess I'll predict Jerry gets his Arkansas WR and takes Matt Jones. To do this he will trade down at #20 and add a pick. He will either select Jones with a very late 1st rounder or a high 2nd rounder.

[CoCo1]

there will be one Cowboy pick that ticks everyone off...

That EVERY Cowboy pick will tick SOMEONE off.

GUARANTEED !!

[AsthmaField]

That we don't go WR in round 1.

That we stay at 11 and take either Ware or Merriman.

That we move out of the 20 spot for a 3rd and take Barrett Rudd with that 3rd.

That we take a FS in the 2nd.

and finally...

That we take a RB in round 4.

[AsthmaField]

I sincerely hope not, Hos.

I respect what you think Hostile but seriously is that your take?

[morasp]

If DJ is there at 11 and we trade down, this board will be talking about it until/if whoever we do pick first does as good or better than he does (ala Julius Jones).

[StonetheCrow77]

That EVERY Cowboy pick will tick SOMEONE off.

GUARANTEED !!

yea, take that one to the bank...

[speedemn]

I predict everybody thats posted on this thread gets...........ticked off on draft day

[Shuttemdown41]

I predict that the word "reach" will be the most commonly used word on the forum that day.

[StonetheCrow77]

ah, upside and motor might be close...

[Chief]

I'll predict that Dallas takes a pass-rusher at No. 11.

.. that Dallas will move down from No. 20, picking up a third-rounder.

.. that Dallas will go defense with three of the first four picks.

.. that Jerry will drop Charles Haley's name when talking about the player taken at No. 11. Then, he'll say something like, "Our fans (looking at camera and winking) will enjoy the pass-rush that this player will bring."

.. Larry Lacewell won't be able to stay away from Valley Ranch during the draft. Jerry will have a little table, chair and play phone set up outside in the hallway for Larry to pretend he's still drafting.

.. Chris Berman will know Buffalo's pick before they make it.

.. Some poster will blow a gasket in the chat room right after Tagliabue announces a Dallas selection.

.. Ed Werder will be ESPN's guy in Dallas.

.. Joe Gibbs will look 94 years old when interviewed about the Redskins' off-season.

.. Mel Kiper will pimp Drew Rosenhaus' clients.

.. Patriots will find a way to land David Pollack.

.. The best analysis on ESPN will be provided by the college Gameday crew, led by Chris Fowler.

.. Dallas will draft Noah Herron of Northwestern late in the draft.

.. Green Bay will draft Charlie Frye.

.. I'll have indigestion by the time the day is over.

Excellent post. I hope your wrong about Pollack though.

[SuspectCorner]

by the time the first three rounds are in the book - i'll be drunker than cooter brown.

[followthestar]

that whichever QB the 49ers take will be the one who is a collosal bust, with the other being only a marginal bust...

[VACowboy]

-Jerry and Bill will end up with more than their current three day-one picks and not one of them will go to select an offensive player.

-Josh Bullocks or Barret Ruud will be a Cowboy.

-David McMillan will be drafted by Dallas next Sunday.

-There will be no Howard trade.

-The Vikings will turn their card in on time.

[SuspectCorner]

-The Vikings will turn their card in on time.

after they "time-out" - tice will red-facedly admit he scalped it.

I can honestly say that'd ruin my offseason...what a waste of a pick that'd be

David

[SuspectCorner]

bravo, encore, encore!!!
i just about guarantee ya one the following day. the second day could make us or break us. i'll be along for the ride. JJ and BP are my "designated drivers". keep 'er 'tween the ditches fellas!

[blindzebra]

SD will trade up with AZ to beat us to Merriman/Ware. Houston deals with Detroit to land the other one. The surprise is we had very little interest in either.

[Hostile]

I respect what you think Hostile but seriously is that your take?More like one of my biggest fears. Call it a gut feeling.

[Hostile]

I predict that there will be 30+ posts calling Theismann an idiot.

[Muhast]

I predict none of us to expect what will come on April 23rd-24th.

I predict there to be many shocks, and many picks who will have u shaking your head, either for being to high, or for being passed on.

[SuspectCorner]

I predict that there will be 30+ posts calling Theismann an idiot.
i thought that was already well beyond a point of discovery or contention.

[ddh33]

Marcus Spears will be a Cowboy.

[ghst187]

that we'll trade down with at least one of our firsts...

[4lifecowboy]

My prediction is we will trade up

[CM Duck]

my prediction is that no one is 100% sure of what Jerry and Tuna will do come saturday afternoon, including those 2 guys themselves.

everything depends on what will happen in the first 10 picks, who is left on the board, and who gives them a call when the 'Boys are on the clock.

is that a safe enough prediction for you? lol

[Duane]

1. We draft a pass rusher with one of the 1st round picks.
2. In the 4th round we take one of the quality RBs on the board.

[Rack Bauer]

1. Merriman will not be the first Defensive player chosen.

2. There will not be 3 RBs drafted in the top 10. Don't be surprised if only 2 are drafted in the top 20.

3. Matt Jones will squeeze into the later part of the first round (not saying he should, only that he will).

4. The cowboys will trade down with both their first rounders.

5. Someone will light a match within 200 feet of Mel Kiper and his hair/head will explode.

1. Agree
2. Disagree
3. Agree
4. Agree
5. LMAO

[TheEnigma]

We will not select Merriman, Ware, nor Spears.

[StanleySpadowski]

My strange prediction is that Dallas selects long snapper Jon Condo from Maryland with pick #224.

[Sitting Bull]

Sitting Bull mock attached as sig; additional random visions:

1. Dallas will trade down at #11...
2. We will draft Mark Clayton at #20; he's actively lobbying to play for Dallas. Last first rounder to do that was Roy; this matters a lot to Jerry...
3. We will draft at least one player from Virginia on day two; Parcells values Groh's opinion and that eliminates some of the guessing...
4. We will draft at least one player from a Louisiana school. Our scouts have been crawling all over that state for months.

[DoomsDayD]

I predict that i will be hugging the Toilet bowl after JJ screws up this draft. I also predict that i will be spending absurd amount of time in church early saturday morning praying to the football gods for a miracle.

And the winner of the John Clayton Award for the prediction that didn't come true --

We will not select Merriman, Ware, nor Spears.

[edwardo]

Well I sucked; I predicted we would move down at both spots in first round; I never dreamed we could get spears at 20 and that we would gamble on taking Ware at eleven. Canty at round four is beyond belief. I presumed a WR at round four. Thank God I am an unemployed beer drinker and not Larry Lacewell's replacement.

Nice.

Pretty terrible predicting. :D
