You oughta take a look at Bill Simmon's article on the 12 days of basketball, especially Day 13. He has a blurb on what a trade of Kobe to the Knicks could have done for his career and the NBA as a whole. Found it intriguing.

its a message board.. not everyone is going to agree with you. No need to scream your opinions from the mountaintop.. its not going to effect what everyone thinks.

Yeah I get all that, but I don't know how anyone or why anyone would want us to draft a RB early when that's a strength rather than try to fix one of our holes.

Sounds like this guy is not informed- or maybe missed a couple recent meetings.

I have no idea of the veracity of the info that the poster offered this time, but I can tell you that his early draft philosophy looks a lot like mine keeps coming up when I work on it...

My favorites in the first are OG David DeCastro, OG Cordy Glenn and CB Chase Minnifield... there are a couple-three others that I like pretty well too, but those three are my top choices... I think any of them could step in and start for the Boys next season... I particularly think that Minnifield is going to be a very good pro ( live about 80 miles from Charlottesville, and get to see a lot of the Cavs on TV)...

In the second, those favorites include FS Markelle Martin, C Ben Jones, CB Coryell Judie or OG Kevin Zeitler... if Peter Konz's health issues cause him to fall to the 2nd, as some are speculating it might, I'd find it a lot easier to take a chance on him with a second rounder rather than a first...

That's 3 DBs, and 4 interior OL that I'd target in the first 2 rounds... you could go with DeCastro or Glenn in the first, then Martin or Judie in the second... or you could go with Minnifield in the first, then Jones or Zeitler in the second... either scenario would work just fine for me, but given that Minnifield is one of my pet cats, the second scenario seems to me to offer the best value...

I can say that I'd like it if Griffin wound up a Cowboy this offseason... he'd certainly shore up the safety situation...

What you need to realize is that stupid thoughts don't get smarter just because you put them in big fonts... and if the thought being expressed isn't stupid, there's really no need to "shout"...

We can get rid of Felix. Matt Forte is a MEGA stud!

Wait a couple years, do your best to give Romo everything you can in the meantime, and take one in the first round when he's only got a year or two left.

You make a good point, except, can you name all the quarterbacks that played for the Cowboys between Aikman and Romo. The Cowboys had no one ready to take Aikman's place, even though it was quite evident he was at the end of his career.

While JJ has a pretty poor record of hitting on mid to late round draft picks, one has to hope Garrett and Ryan can bring some success there also.

He also will want to get MEGA paid. It is not going to happen.

I dont like this plan,our first order of business is to find a replacement for spencer.

Nice post or repost I guess but seriously doubt his information. Matt Forte and DeSean Jackson? When the D needs help from FA you go after those two, not going to happen.

Murray is the future at RB so getting Forte would make zero sense. Taking a LaMichael James say in the 3rd makes sense if you trade Jones because James can also PR and KR. Tanner will be a great backup to Murray as we have already seen.

DeSean Jackson wants a big time contract better than Austin's so forget him, just not going to happen there. What makes more sense in free agency is Brent Grimes at CB, a great man to man cover and Calais Campbell at DE who is a stronger JJ Watt and look what Watt has done in Houston.

As to the draft, OG and CB would make sense in the first two rounds to some degree. DeCastro at OG in the 1st and say Gilmore at CB in the 2nd. Floyd at WR doesn't make sense unless we aren't interested in resigning Robinson. Upshaw makes alot sense in the 1st at OLB.

But honestly sounds like someone is guessing and picking some guys they like in FA. Jerry and Jason aren't stupid, they know the D has to be fixed in both Free Agency and the draft.

How is stupid to say we don't need to draft a running back?

Guard should be an absolute priority, and I can see DB if an elite prospect is there when we pick. Going after a WR in Free Agency, assuming we resign Robinson, would bring my gently rolling rage to an absolute boil.

Getting an absolute punk on this team like DeSean Jackson should revolt you too. He is talented, but hardly worth the bother.
