Give me your thoughts, good and bad.
I think it would be great if the draft worked out this way.

Nice touch drafting Samardzija in the 7th. A tip of the hat to tradition.

Soliai is getting some buzz as one of the top three NT prospects; seems like he'd be a steal in the 6th round. I wonder if he'll still be there (and if it would be wise to gamble that he'd be there).

Jerry's statements about drafting a QB not withstanding, 3rd round feels at least one round too little high for me.

For the past month or so my guess has been that the Cowboys will go CB or WR in the 1st round. I'd be happy with a quality WR like Meacham.

The Cowboys need another speed guy. Courtney Brown is 6'2" and reportedly ran a 4.32. That size and speed is very tempting. Wouldn't surprise me to see him gone before the 6th round.

I'm mildly surprised to see the final two special teams picks. I'd guess that 1) the Cowboys are feeling o.k. with their current LS and K and 2) Jerry will have a couple of other longshots that he'll want to roll with.
Answer for this off-season: Assemble an elite offense.
