But, what if?

Would Samardzija be a good pick up? He should be available late in the first round. He has good hands and great size. A little slow, maybe, but has a possession receiver, that would be alright.


No way Johnson or Ginn will be there when we pick.

(Yes, I love ND football)

Maybe in the late 2nd or 3rd round, but I'd have a heart attack if we took him with our #1 pick.

No way I would take Smardja in the 1st round! There are many other WR's in this draft more talented than him. If he were available in say the 4th I may consider him. Just another overrated, overyped golden domer.

I don't think he has baseball entirely on his mind. Lets not forget he was a mid-round pick in the baseball draft and his first season in MiLB was far from stellar. I think as long as he is in the first round he takes the football money. His baseball contract does not put him on the 40 man roster, so hes just making minor league money with a decent signing bonus. Don't forget the process, by the time you work your way through the minors into the majors then you have to work up to arbiration and finally free agency to get the cash. So I think he takes the football route without a doubt.

T.O. is not a traditionally reciever. He is the best in the game at beating people across the field to get open, not down the field where double coverage can contain him.

Maybe parcells will figure this out at some point, but he hasn't yet.

Overall, Parcells has failed miserable.

Wow! I guess opinions dont cost much these days but you still decided to borrow yours from Skip Bayless. At least spend two cents on them. Parcells is a great coach who deserves an oscar for his performance with the media this season. He has not cuss anyone out and has not said anything negative about Owens. Owens is the problem. Not Tuna!

I like Samardzija but I don't want to draft him. In fact if we go WR and can't have Calvin Johnson, the guy I'd want is Dwayne Jarrett of USC.

I think Jeff is too focused on baseball.

I still have Laron landry as my top hope in the Draft.

I don't see anyone playing for the Cowboys that isn't committed to participating in the offseason program.

Very valid point IR. Look at the fiasco this year.

I with you on those picks and I pray that Jerry somehow is able to get johnson or jarrett but I know that is wishful thinking.

I know there is no way we get Samardzija because he wants to play baseball. Parcells must have football guys and will not have a player who is focused on playing another sports. And certainly would not use a first day pick on him.

I remember in an interview Parcells says he always asks a player where does football rank in your life? And if its not in the top three then he is not interested in the player (family and God is an acceptable top two).

I strongly believe that Jarrett will be a realistic goal of draft but I think this will be a deep draft for receivers but Samardzija is not on the Cowboys radar nor should he be. He has good hand and good size but is severly too slow. Reminds me of Chris Collinsworth and he would not survive in todays league.

[NextGenBoys]

No. He's too slow. He's basically a tight end trapped in a WR body. He'll probably go pro in baseball, as the Cubs have offered him a contract.

Parcells deserves an oscar for acting like a coach.

[CrazyCowboy]

I figure he would play baseball.......right?

half to laugh at just post stupid things. If you want the definition of blind hatred, right there in the dictionary it says: Just Say No.

By the way- MIchigan and OSU both has lower SOS then ND did this season. Ask them about games against such powers as Illinois, Central Michigan, Ball State, etc.
