I heard that Lewis turned off the staff during his visit with the team...

Lewis was off our board. There is a reason he 2nd round talent and dropped so far. Several legal serious character concerns.

Word is the Cowboys took him off their board due to character concerns. Someone even commented that his College coach told him to go ahead and enter the draft because they were tired of baby sitting him. Don't know if all of that is true but that is what I heard.

Is Wilbur going to be an OLB or ILB for us?

OLB, my major issue with him is he does not play well in tight space. He's more of a sift and seek player.

Based upon a tip by a forum member I sent the Cowboys word of some character issues and their investigations turned up evidence that the rumors told to me were true. I posted a thread a while back saying he was off our board.

As in seeking the QB?

This is a team who is battling several major injuries to
key players including Pro Bowl talents like Lee, Austin, Jenkins, Murray,
Carter and Ratliff. Other key starters missing include Costa, Smith, Church and
Coleman. That is 11 key players - that's half the starting lineup. Yet we still went 8-8.

Holy cow. If the Cowboys front office is relying on tips from internet forum posters, this team is in trouble.
