You will probably be bummed out on draft day

[Tass]

It's true. I don't think the Boys have EVER drafted the player I was hoping for (Fonoti, Pollack, Sopoaga, S. Jackson all spring to mind).

Oh, well...I'll still watch and hope THIS will be the year!

The last time they drafted someone I wanted (in the first round) was Roy Williams (that trade down almost gave me a heart attack).


In the end, as long as the player they take turns into a good player I'm happy.


Hopefully they take the player I want this year, and hopefully I'm right about that player. :cool:

I think you're right. Now we just have to figure out how to get him drafted.

[Gaede]

Julius Jones was my favourite player in the draft a couple years ago...He was one of the only guys I actually saw play in college and I was blown away.

I was ecstatic when we got him. Of course, everyone was going insane at the time!

I also really wanted us to pick up Burnett, so that was pretty cool.

But I've learned in the last couple of years not to get too hung up on certain players. If you do, you'll always be let down.

I like your proposal.


The problem is it's the Bengals that have to like your proposal, and have a need/want to carry out that proposal.

[bobbie brewskie]

check out my mock in the draft zone 2006 section, it explains the entire reason they are going to accept it for. i did my research. and btw i need some feedback on my stupid mock neways.

lol man... and exactly how are you planning on presenting your trade proposal to the Dallas Cowboys front office?

yup ima walk right in there, and b**** slap JJ on the face with my blueprint. haha im kidding but i wish they would follow my draft.

sopoaga we really missed out there. Dont forget R Moss!!!! The worst snub ever.

[rw54]

I usually pick 7 or 8 guys I like and hope we draft at least one of them. Before last year I had only gotten two of those guys (not counting Aikman) Flozell Adams and Larry Allen. Last year I got three - Spears, Ware, and Canty in one year. I'm due for several years of disappointment.

[watertown]

once they see my trade down proposal all your dreams will come true rack, and more.
Jason Allen in the third is very wishful thinking

[bobbie brewskie]

Jason Allen in the third is very wishful thinking

Jason Allen in the third is wishful, but at the same time very possible. he was never and will never be a first round prospect. hes not that good, i had him at best 49th like ive said 100000 times. his stock keeps dropping and dropping and essentially itll hit 80th pick and i will be a happy man.

[Justis]

I wanted Spears this year. I wanted Merriman first, but Ware was a good substitution.

The closer we get to the draft, the more guys I discover, and the more guys I like. It would be hard for me to be completely disappointed. on draft day I'm like a kid in a candy store. Draft day > Christmas ( well not this year because the Boys play)

I wanted alot of players we have selected.


Roy WIlliams, Terrence Newman...was begging for both of those studs on draft day and extremely happy we got them!


Last years Draft I wanted Marcus Spears at #11 Dallas selected him at #20!


I am looking forward to the 06 Draft!! Many players would be noce additions in the 1st including Manny Lawson, Mathias Kiwanuka, Jimmy Willams, Winston Justice, Chad Jackson, Kamerion Wimbley and more!:)

That's just the way I roll

Really? The Boys have got the one I wanted 3 of the last 4 years.

BTW, who you want this year?

[DC5488]

in my memory - since 1983 or so - the Cowboys have only twice drafted the exact player i wanted. and both times i have been dissapointed...Russell Maryland and Roy Williams. good players, but not near what i hoped and thought they could be.

[SilverStarCowboy]

Roy Williams is the best SS in Pro Football but "he is a good player but not near what you had hoped he'd be".


Gimme' a friggin' break! lol

I've been ok with the 1st round picks, but the later round picks have just killed me. Last year I was dying for one of the safeties that were available in the 5th and up. I think Butler, Shazor, Meeuwsen and some others were still there, and the team just kept hurting me. Overall, Parcells late picks, besides last year, have a lot to be desired. A lot of wasted picks IMO.

Just imagine how good this team would be with Butler, Shazor, or Meeuwsen!

i think what parcells tends to do with the later picks is draft back-ups and needs of the future (i.e. say we have a 30 year old reciever, in the 6th we might draft a WR and hope that he is good to go when our 30 year old retires). and later picks are for special teams and back-ups neways. you cant expect to much of em, and this is what parcells does, drafts players who could in the future maybe be transition players until we get a true player for that position. he almost treats the latter rounds like free agency. take Patrick Crayton for instance, 1st year if one was asked about him theyd say who? 2nd year theyd say - oh hes a good special teamer, runs clean routes and makes clutch catches nad now 3rd year - hes a solid #3 WR, good special teamer and burnt the raiders for 63 yards. lets see what they say after this year, since 3 years is the charm.

[Clove]

I wanted Aikman/Roy Williams/Terrance Newman/and this year, I want any of these players.
Manny Lawson
Bobby Carpenter
Winston Justice
Chad Jackson
Kamerion Wimbley
Davin Joseph
Donte Whitner
Jason Allen
Chris Gocong
Todd Watkins
Chris Chester
Greg Jennings
Steve Fifta

I have many more on the list, but I'm tired. I just hope we can trade our picks for the next 10 years and get all of these folks...:)

[Rack Bauer]

Do any of those guys even have a job? I think only Meeuwsen was actually drafted. Obviously if all teams passed on the other two there must of been a reason for it.


I was also one of those guys going crazy cuz the cowboys kept passing on Butler (where is he now anyway?).

[bobbie brewskie]

shazor was in Arizona last year, but the other 2 i dont know.

I think Butler is with the Giants and they are really high on him. I think I was pissed more because they were there and we really needed a safety rather than who ever else they picked. Anyway, turns out lucky we got Petitti. I think.

[Smith22]

I don't know, they've picked guys I wanted, which turned out to be both good and bad.

Good: Witten, TNew, RW, Canty
Bad: Bryant, Gurode
Undecided: Burnett

[Woods]

I'd be happy with any of these guys in the 1st round at 18,

Lawson
Wembley
Carpenter
Bunkley
Justice


In the 2nd, I'd be happy with

D. Joseph (G/OT)
Bullocks (FS)
Spencer (G)
Winston (OT)
Howard (OLB)

I'm sure I'm forgetting a couple players.

[Eddie]

Expect the unexpected. The only predictions on first rounders I ever got right was Ebenzer Ekuban, Roy Williams, and Terrance Newman. All others were up in the air, and no where close to what I thought.

This year will be no different. I don't think we have a clue who BP will take. Regardless of moving up or down in the draft, we won't have an incling as to who we'll take. Scratch out Carpenter and Lawson. OLB's are a dime a dozen. We can get plenty of quality OLB's later in the draft.

[fiveandcounting]

Oh, well...I'll still watch and hope THIS will be the year!

they did for me once in recent years and it turned out to be a collosal bust, so I'm less concerned about it than I used to be. I'm talking about David LaFleur

[dbair1967]

I wouldnt rate LaFleur a bust as much as it was just bad luck for us...the guy had a degnerative condition in his back, that wasnt our fault...if not for that he might have really turned into something because he was a decent athlete for his size, had great hands and was a tremendous run blocker...people forget he had 8 td catches in Chan Gailey's offense (which de-emphasized the TE) and that he did make some tremendous grabs (the two tds vs Cinci his rookie yr come to mind) during his time here

he was nowhere near the flop guys like Dwayne Goodrich, Shante Carver, Kavika Pittman or Shane Hannah were

We gave up a 3rd rounder to move up 2 spots to take LaFluer when we could have gotten him anyway. Bad luck and bust are pretty much the same thing.

He was a tremendous blocker, but not the pass catching threat Troy needed.

So in a sense, LaFluer was a 1st and 3rd round bust ... two in one shot.

Then again, he wasn't the biggest flop ... those other guys were worse.

Those post Jimmy, pre-BP drafts were pathetic.

[dbair1967]

Those post Jimmy, pre-BP drafts were pathetic.

as bad as they were...they did get Larry Allen, Randall Godfrey, Dexter Coakley, Greg Ellis, Flozelle Adams, Dat Nguyen, Roy Williams

its not much, but those guys were/are pretty good players

David

[Doomsday101]

As long as Dallas is not reaching for players I normally do not get upset about the draft. I see many option that they can look at in this draft that would fall under BPA that fits our needs. I feel we have done a much better job in the draft over the last 3 to 4 years so I can say I'm looking forward to this upcoming draft. For those who are looking at just 1 particular player then chances are you going to be disappointed.

[Yakuza Rich]

I wanted Ware and Spears and would've settled for Merriman and Spears last season and they got them both. I wanted them to take Roy Williams and they did. And I wanted them to take Terrell Suggs, but would've settled for Newman, which they did.

So for me, since 2002 I haven't been too disappointed.


Rich..........

[big dog cowboy]

All 3 went undrafted. There is a reason for that.

[BARRYRAY]

Well it's time for me to apologize again, I passed on Meriman and I was wrong, I wanted Jammer over Williams and was wrong again. I think the Boys ought to only take three things here, nt,lb, and o-line in whatever order works, was really hoping they would one more FA like Arrington or a fs so we could maybe take more chances in the draft, we still got holes folks in both lines and lb..

[Marktui]

I just have to hope that Ireland and his team are doing there job. There are players out there that I would like to see in a Cowboys uniform, Wimbely, Thomas Howard, Davin Joseph, Broderick Bunklely.

But I will leave it up to the guys who work at it in real life. These guys attend all the practices, see all the films, talk to the coaches.

With all that, I am holding them to finding at least 1 starter out of this draft and 3 players who will be able to compete for a job in the next two years.

[Tass]

Really? The Boys have got the one I wanted 3 of the last 4 years.

BTW, who you want this year?

Carpenter, Lutui, Winston, Haas...those are the ones I'm hoping for.

[Bob Sacamano]

after last year's haul, I'm pretty sure I won't be bummed out this time around either

plus I really wanted us to draft Ware
