Micheal Huff to Dallas?

[t.o.boys81]

I just finished watching NFL Total Access on NFL Network and Adam Schefter reported that Micheal Huff is going to Dallas to have a work out. Schefter said that Huff is interested in playing for Dallas since he's from the area. Obviously Dallas would have to trade up to get him, but Schefter said that it seems like the Cowboys are interested enough to do so. What do you guys think?

[Bob Sacamano]

I doubt Dallas would have to trade up for him, and I doubt he's the only one receiving this much attention from Dallas

we wont trade up, only way we get him is if he falls and thats not happening. so no.

[Cowboy4ever]

Did anyone see this report,, Says that Dallas is extremely interested in getting Huff. I just wonder what we could offer to get him and not hurt the team in the long run. Is he worth a player and maybe 3 picks to move up enough to get him??

Sorry didnt see the first post, please delete

A player AND 3 picks?

He is good and would be worth making a 5 spot leap up the board to get him. But giving up that much is not going to happen.

So no, he's not worth that much, IMO.

[fortdick]

Round 7 224th Pick: Steve Fifita (NT) or a DB

Guy must be big and fast to play either nose or DB!

;)

[dbair1967]

If you look at the draft pick value chart, our 1+2= 1310 pts, which would get us to either 9 or 10...its conceivable Huff could be there at that pick...I'm not sure Huff is worth our first two picks...he is a good player, but certainly not a surefire probowler so I probably wouldnt make that deal, but who knows how highly our scouts regard him...I think Huff is a better DB prospect than Quinten Jammer was, but he isnt as good a prospect as Terrance Newman was

all 3 of our 1st day picks total 1500 pts, which would net us a trade up only to 7...there is nobody in this draft other than Reggie Bush who's worth our 1st 3 picks IMO, and there is no chance of him being there at that point

our 1+3= almost 1100 pts, and that would get us to 14

reggie bush :lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao: he is so over-rated and is not worth 3 cowboys picks, why get a player like him when we could get carpenter, allen and spencer in rounds 1-3?

[COWBOYSNUM1]

He is good and would be worth making a 5 spot leap up the board to get him. But giving up that much is not going to happen.

So no, he's not worth that much, IMO.
We would have to leap more than 5 spots to get him. I would give up 3 picks if they were our 1st this year, and maybe a 5 or 6 this year, and maybe a 6 or 7 next year.

[MtlCowboy]

don't see them moving up. we got too much $ already in the secondary.

[mbanx]

I hope he plays smarter than he sounds. I heard him this morning on with Collin Cowherd on ESPNradio and Collin asked him who was the best all time CB or coverman (something like that) and he said........charles woodson :eek: Needless to say the callers slaughtered him on that in the next segement.

[rgcowboys]

I watched it on NFL Network and he made it seem like Dallas will move up to get him. Maybe the Cowboys have somebody on the team who is trade bait. Huff is a special player able to play corner and safety. I would love him in our secondary. But like always you think you know what the Cowboys will do in the draft, and they do something else. So let the rumors go and get ready for the show.

[Bryan8284]

Can't complain about getting a player like that, but at the costs that will be related, no way.

Lawson-Allen/Watkins/Bullocks in the first two is better than just Huff. You can't have a star at every spot and filling two needs rather than one star, worth it in my mind.

[Clove]

I would love Huff in this Draft. I wonder if we offered Ellis and our 1 to move up 5 to 8 spots, would that be enough? But nothing other than that. No more draft picks or anything like that.

[RESIN8]

I don't think Huff will slip past Detroit with the 9th pick.

[lane]

how good would this be:

newman
henry
williams
huff

[Manster54]

Huff = Smoke Screen;)

well you can laugh if you want I suppose, we couldnt get Bush with just our 3 first day picks anyway...not even close

that said, Bush is not overrated...he is one of those once a decade talents that can truly alter a franchise...he isnt one dimensional and he isnt a one yr wonder...he's probably worth at least a TD a game more to whomever's offense he ends up on...players like that dont grow on trees

your comparing KiJana Carter to Reggie Bush?

pretty lame HH, Bush is eons more a talent than Carter was

that said, Carter busted out because he busted his knee out in his first preseason, not because he didnt have ability

David

[JFlgn]

Somebody mentioned trade bait already on the team. Then someone else mentioned Greg Ellis. Just throwing it out there but Dallas has paid a lot of attention to Rodrique Wright too.

What if we package Ellis, our 1st and if the trade calls for it some middle pick next year and take Huff in the 1st and Wright in the 2nd to replace Ellis? Just throwing it out there.

(FYI: I'm not a Horn homer, I actually really dislike them, but the plan seems logical)

I'm not comparing anyone to anyone, I'm saying that you can call someone a "once a decade talent" until come sback, that does not make it so.

Rodrique Wright is a DT

[JFlgn]

Ya, so you look at scouting reports but not players. He's a small DT who's in the mold of a La'roi Glover and would make a solid 3-4 DE

[speedkilz88]

I hope he plays smarter than he sounds. I heard him this morning on with Collin Cowherd on ESPNradio and Collin asked him who was the best all time CB or coverman (something like that) and he said........charles woodson :eek: Needless to say the callers slaughtered him on that in the next segement.Huff's parents are big Michigan fans(may be alumni?), Woodson was his favorite player growing up.

Shefter missed the boat on this one, the Cowboys get to invite as many local players that they want, including Huff. They are just doing their due dilligence in case he is available.

[Tobal]

Wright could play end or NT in a 3-4....I think he'd be a better 4-3 tackle. I'm not sure he can handle NT in a 3-4

[lspain1]

The Cowboys are doing their due diligence on a player they like with Huff. The Cowboys are interested in Huff, so if he falls to the right spot they might make a move. I think this is not a smokescreen but a careful measurement of the options they have. They may have players they think are more lilel;y to be there at 18, but who knows...."it could happen."

[dbair1967]

Rodrique Wright is a DT

yeah, and he is being projected by alot of teams as a DE in the 3-4

so is Northwestern DL Barry Cofield, who we are also bringing in for a visit

David

[dbair1967]

I'm not comparing anyone to anyone, I'm saying that you can call someone a "once a decade talent" until come sback, that does not make it so.

apparently you havent been paying attention to him the past 4 yrs then

he's the best player in this draft hands down and while no draft pick is a sure thing, he did stuff in his 4yrs at USC that not many (if any) other RB's ever did...he did it against good teams just as easily as against the bad teams...he's a game changer and can do alot of different things to hurt other teams

David

[Tobal]

But on two crucial fourth down plays he was on the sidelines in the national championship game....

He's not a lock in my eyes

[Qwickdraw]

Before or after we signed back Davis?

[dbair1967]

But on two crucial fourth down plays he was on the sidelines in the national championship game....

He's not a lock in my eyes

cant make plays if he isnt in the game...Pete Carroll made a pretty stupid decision there (two of them actually...not ounting and forcing Texas to go the length of the field was the other)

David

[CrazyCowboy]

I would be shocked if we trade up for a FS--shocked!

[the kid 05]

don't see them moving up. we got too much $ already in the secondary.better to have it and not need it, rather than need it and not have it......

[Da Hammer]

As much as I love Huff, it would take too much to trade up for him and I'd be pretty happy just sticking to our spot and taking Manny Lawson

[dbair1967]

As much as I love Huff, it would take too much to trade up for him and I'd be pretty happy just sticking to our spot and taking Manny Lawson

Huff's a pretty safe pick though...he appears to have all the skills to be a bigtime CB, but at worst you know your rae drafting a guy who could be a dynamite FS...if he hits as a CB our secondary would be almost invincible

I'm not saying I'd move up to get him, but I could see the logic in it

do you not understand that NFL defenses are 100X faster than college defenses. bush will not be able to do what he does best in the nfl, and taht is run outside. once a decade talent is barry sanders, the quickest and most elusive back to play the game. but see barry could still somewhat go through guys and he is 100X quicker and more elusive than bush is. bush is an outside runner, who scans for sidelines nad passes up lanes. he is going to dissapoint many in his career.

[Justis]

We've drafted enough D-backs in the 1st. We need to get another LBer or an offensive Tackle. Free Safety, imo, is not a position that should warrant an early 1st rounder.

[Smith22]

I love the idea of drafting Huff, but the price too move up to draft him is too much. Stay put or trade down.

[Silverstar]

We should trade down and draft an OLB to replace Singleton IMO.

Huff is a very talented player, but Cedric Griffin could wind up being the better DB for all we know.

[JackMagist]

I don't see any way that this will happen. However, IF it somehow did happen and we ended up with Huff the Cowboys would undoubtedly have the best starting secondary in the league. We would have a hell of a lot of money tied up in it but no one would be able to match us position for position across the secondary.

[AMERICAS_FAN]

I would be shocked if we trade up for a FS--shocked!

They may be looking at him to play CB.

Seeing plenty of Texas games I know he's going to be quite the stud in the NFL and i wouldn't be opposed for us trading up. I just hope if we do we don't overpay to trade up cause we still have other needs we have to fill

[wxcpo]

Rather than making any kind of deal where we give up any of our day 1 picks. If we are going to go safety in round 1 I would much rather see us trade down a few spots, pick up a couple more day 1 picks or possible 1st rounder next year and grab Donte Whitner.

[ddh33]

Huff is a heck of a player, but I just don't see it. I think Dallas is doing their homework just in case.

[AMERICAS_FAN]

Huff is a heck of a player, but I just don't see it. I think Dallas is doing their homework just in case.

I've read several reports where teams are starting to think Huff can play CB. Drafting Huff at around #9 to play FS seems a bit like a reach, but if we could get him w/ the #9 pick to play CB and move Henry to FS then perhaps we have something interesting in that. The question is what do you give up to move up to around #9 to get Huff? Obviously it wil cost us the #18 pick and either a 2nd round pick or perhaps a player. Maybe now that we re-signed Keith Davis we can trow him in with a late round pick so that we can hold on to our 2nd round pick but still move up? That way we can still address OL in the second round.

AF

[ddh33]

That's just it. I think the cost is prohabitive. If Huff falls just a couple of spots (and that's always possible), then Dallas might be more inclined to do something.

[stasheroo]

Somebody mentioned trade bait already on the team. Then someone else mentioned Greg Ellis. Just throwing it out there but Dallas has paid a lot of attention to Rodrique Wright too.

What if we package Ellis, our 1st and if the trade calls for it some middle pick next year and take Huff in the 1st and Wright in the 2nd to replace Ellis? Just throwing it out there.

(FYI: I'm not a Horn homer, I actually really dislike them, but the plan seems logical)

This trade would make sense to me. And it might be something Detroit might go for. From what I've read, they are looking to upgrade at DE and Ellis would certainly be that. Providing that Huff is still on the board at #9, it might be in their plans.

This could explain the Cowboys' surprising interest in Rodrique Wright. Could they envision him as Ellis' replacement?

Drafting Wright in Round 3 would give the Cowboys a good, young, talented DE rotation with Spears, Canty, Ratliff and Wright.

And drafting Huff in Round 1 would give the Cowboys an amazing overall secondary - arguably the league's strongest unit.

:bow:

[Cowboy4ever]

What if: The saints trade down to say 8 or 9 ,, then we could package Romo, #18 and maybe a 3rd next year to move up to 8 or 9,, take huff, The saints would get their back up QB, still be high enough to draft BPA between OT or WR plus several more picks in day 1 to build a team. Not likely but you never know.

[montgod]

don't see them moving up. we got too much $ already in the secondary.

My sentiments exactly....JJ is trying to establish his normal smoke screen before the draft....by saying any and everything to get other teams off the players he is really looking at.

[jumanji]

i'm also in that 1 out of 10 who think bush will be a bust....at rb. i think he'd make a solid wr. his body can't handle the pain and punishment a rb takes running up the middle and he won't be able to jump around like he did in college.

as for huff...great talent. he will get a shot at cb first wherever he goes. if he doesn't pan out at cb then he will move to fs. cb is the premium position, not fs. whoever drafts him will try him there first.

[dbair1967]

yeah I understand it...apparently you havent watched much of the guy other than espn highlights or something (which by the way are amazing all by themselves)

and saying Sanders was 100x more quick and elusive than Bush is just comical

everyone is entitled to their opinion...we can revisit this in a yr or two and see who was right

[Kevin]

Hey guys,

I was just watching NFL Network and Adam S. (forget his last name) reported that Michael Huff is coming to visit the Cowboys on Monday, and that the Cowboys could trade up to try to grab him.

As a Redskins fan this isn't very pleasant to hear, as Huff is obviously an incredible Safety, but I didn't see anything about it on the site so I decided to share.

Kevin

[Big Country]

I really don't see what everyone sees in Michael Huff, that if he was drafted by Dallas, would make our defense that much better. I just don't see it... Somebody enlighten me pleeeeease!!!

BUT, IF FOR SOME REASON, he was drafted by Dallas, I'm not going to scream foul... He's a player no doubt, yes he is... BUT, see my first paragraph above.

[Big Country]

What is truly amazing is that some people are arguing with you and don't believe Bush is going to be a good player. Dallas could offer Houston its entire draft and Houston would still laugh at us.

[Thomas82]

I hope he plays smarter than he sounds. I heard him this morning on with Collin Cowherd on ESPNradio and Collin asked him who was the best all time CB or coverman (something like that) and he said........charles woodson :eek: Needless to say the callers slaughtered him on that in the next segement.

How could he not mention Deion Sanders?

[Sandyf]

It is just another smoke screen and due diligents on the Dallas side. We are not one player away from a Super Bowl and in order to get Huff we would have to move to the Buffalo spot because the Lions will take Huff. The cost is to great.

Now if for some reason Huff should fall to say 15 or 16 then I could see a move up giving up a third or maybe just a fourth and fifth next year. Anything else would hurt in dealing with other needs.

Going up to number 8 would kill this draft and next year. I would look for a trade down unless Huff should fall to 18. If we are really interested in any Texas players my bet would be on Jonathan Scott and Rod Wright who you could get both in the third round.

Scott does test out well but he seemed to make AJ Hawk disappear in the Ohio State game and don't remember anyone getting to Vince Young in the championship game against USC. He just is a player.

Wright I could see being a 3-4 DE easily and he is probably more suited to that spot.

Safe bet would be to see us make a couple of trades draft day and pick up an OLB in the first, FS in the second , a DE and OT/OG in the third, DT in the fourth, WR in the fifth and OG in the sixth, KR in the seventh. That would be a good draft.

I have NEVER used this smilie. But..

Now hear this. Romo has no value.

One has to actually get in a game and perform to have value.

[Q_the_man]

I would love Huff in this Draft. I wonder if we offered Ellis and our 1 to move up 5 to 8 spots, would that be enough? But nothing other than that. No more draft picks or anything like that.
my thoughts exactly, I would maybe throw in a 4th next year, I'm looking at Buff at the 8 spot, maybe it one of those things, u hook me up i hook u up. Ellis and #18, I can see that happening.

I said he would bust!!!"

he might bust, nobody is a 100% for certain star...but based off his physical talent and what he did on the field, he seems destined for stardom the way Tony Dorsett and Barry Sanders were...players with his kind of tools dont come along often...honestly I think he is by far the safest pick in the draft and a true franchise altering kind of talent...he will put points on the board and will force teams to come up with some elaborate game plannning to take him away or slow him down

David

[jackrussell]

What is truly amazing is that some people are arguing with you and don't believe Bush is going to be a good player. Dallas could offer Houston its entire draft and Houston would still laugh at us.

nobody said taht bush isnt going to be good, im just saying the hype on him is bogus, ive already stated why i dont think he is going to be as good as people say. hes over-rated by a mile and shouldnt be defined as the sure shot #1 pick, i personally dont see a running back with that style becoming anything in a league as fast as the NFL.

[InmanRoshi]

I think its going to surprise some people where Huff ends up in the first round. Huff is a good player and I hope he ends up in Dallas, but he's not a gamechanger and he doesn't make game changing plays. A team just isn't going to spend a Top 15 pick on a non premium position like free safety when he doesn't make game changing plays. I think he's going to be sitting there around 14-17, so I'm glad Dallas is doing their homework on him because there will be a decision to make.

[The30YardSlant]

[Dan The Cowboys Fan]

I would love Huff in this Draft. I wonder if we offered Ellis and our 1 to move up 5 to 8 spots, would that be enough? But nothing other than that. No more draft picks or anything like that.

We just paid Ellis money so he could stay in dallas not leave. we would never trade him. Although, the thought is intriguing being able to move up a few picks without sacraficing any later picks... but, one musn't dream beacuse it would never happen.

[ThreeSportStar80]

People are getting carried away in wanting Michael Huff, remember the last DB everyone craved out of Texas, some guy named umm Quinton Jammer. :rolleyes:

[DiscipleofTuna]

Not a chance he drops and not a chance we move up. Saying that you still do your due diligence in case things happen.

[RESIN8]

I don't remember much of Tiki Barber when he is in college, but BUsh is bigger than Barber and way more athletic. I would have to say that Tiki is a big time pain in our Arse.

[MiStar]

The other thing you have to consider about Bush is that he is simply exciting to watch. What would the lions of the 90's be without Barry Sanders? They never went anywhere with or without Sanders, but no one, outside of Detroit, would have bothered to watch the Lions if it hadn't been for Barry Sanders.

[jackrussell]

If only this made any sense :confused:

Exactly.

It makes no sense for someone who thinks Randall is better than Troy to tell someone else they don't know what they are talking about.

Huff Visiting Dallas Monday


Michael Huff By: Roy Philpott
TheRanchReport.com
Date: Apr 13, 2006

This former Texas star will be one of many NFL Draft prospects at Valley Ranch early next week.

According to multiple published reports and now confirmed by TheRanchReport.com, former Texas safety Michael Huff will visit with the Dallas Cowboys Monday, April 17.

The former Longhorn standout is a two-time All-Conference selection who won the Thorpe Award as the nation's top defensive back in 2005. He finished his senior season second on the team in tackles with 109. He also recorded 14 passes broken up and an interception.

Huff, much like Tennessee's Jason Allen and Virginia Tech's Jimmy Williams, is another defensive back prospect that could be tried at multiple positions in the NFL, including cornerback and free safety.

For the Cowboys, the team needs immediate help at free safety. Last year's starter, restricted free agent Keith Davis, has signed an offer sheet with the New Orleans Saints and may not be back with the team in 2006.

In addition, Dallas also wants a free safety that is better suited in coverage situations to compliment the play of strong safety Roy Williams, who likes to make plays at the line of scrimmage.

While many experts consider Huff to go early in the first round, the Cowboys will still bring him in for a visit to Valley Ranch Monday.

Scout.com currently ranks Huff as the No. 1 safety prospect eligible for the upcoming NFL Draft.

Huff is one of at least four safety prospects the Cowboys have shown significant interest in this off-season. For the complete list of all draft-
eligible players that TheRanchReport.com has documented interest in by the Cowboys, please visit TheRanchReport.com Premium Message Board.


http://cowboys.scout.com/2/520150.html

So which is the smoke screen here? No safety in rd 1, Bringing Huff in, or the whole move someone we have to FS. Remember, most think Huff can play both FS and CB. I still like Jason Allen better then Huff since the reports of failed physicals, were bogus, per NFL Radio. I'm kinda intrigued by this kid from FL state,Pat Watkins. Then again I like Daryn Colledge, Boise State

[dbair1967]

People are getting carried away in wanting Michael Huff, remember the last DB everyone craved out of Texas, some guy named umm Quinton Jammer. :rolleyes:

Jammer was nowhere near as athletic or fluid as Huff is...Huff also ran fast at the combine and when you watch his game film, he looks fast on the field...Jammer ran a bogus 4o-time once (on the fast track at UT) but when you watched him in games (and in the NFL since) he was nowhere near that fast on the field

David

I really dont understand how someone could say they have really watched him play and come to the conclusion that he is overrated and has a great chance to bust...to me thats just somebody that is saying it in the hopes that it actually happens, so they can come back later and say "see see!!!

he might bust, nobody is a 100% for certain star...but based off his physical talent and what he did on the field, he seems destined for stardom the way Tony Dorsett and Barry Sanders were...players with his kind of tools dont come along often...honestly I think he is by far the safest pick in the draft and a true franchise altering kind of talent...he will put points on the board and will force teams to come up with some elaborate game plannning to take him away or slow him down

Totally agree.

Bush is the best college back I've seen in a lot of years. Think Tony Dorsett, but bigger and more versatile.

To watch people find all these holes in his game is comical. This is a very special player.

my thoughts exactly, I would maybe throw in a 4th next year, I'm looking at Buff at the 8 spot ...

Paging Dr. Freud.

Exactly.

It makes no sense for someone who thinks Randall is better than Troy to tell someone else they don't know what they are talking about.

Anyone? Anyone at all?

People are getting carried away in wanting Michael Huff, remember the last DB everyone craved out of Texas, some guy named umm Quinton Jammer. :rolleyes:

Nathan Vasher is doing pretty good in Chicago.
