We will see on Thursday.

That is a great point.

I don't think Jerry is much of a Mike Jenkins fan anyways. He's called him out on his toughness before.



I like Mike Jenkins but he isn't a leader type of guy but he'll play up or down to however the rest of the team is performing.

You gotta get the DB's and DL early.

Yeah, no value if keeping your QB healthy.

Rather then try to make sure he isn't injured, just get a better backup.

An honest question, not running down your thoughts, because as a whole I agree with your thoughts, although I would also want Pass Rush if his name is Ingram.

Would you not want Pass Rush if his name is Ingram?

No, it is just different than what all the successful teams in the league do. The fact that it hasn't worked in 16 years or so doesn't matter apparently.

I've been assured that Jerry is just a figurehead and his role is primarily to just "read reports" and call the draft picks.

[Hoofbite]

So, who exactly do Garrett and Ryan want? Does that even matter?

[Gaede]

Yeah, I'm guessing pass rusher is Cox and Barron/Kirkpatrick are secondary help. I wonder then, does that mean if we go one way in first round, does that mean we're looking for the other in the second?

We may see some arm bars, kimuras, and triangle chokes in the Cowboys War Room if Cox, DeCastro, and Barron are all there at #14.

I think you can find a quality interior OL, especially in this draft, outside of Round 1.


For example give me a Barron / Zeitler combo over Decastro / Harrison Smith

That was exactly what I was thinking.

Jerry doesn't like Jenkins but Spencer is okay because Spencer doesn't rock the boat.

Stephen wants the better player and wants to upgrade the weaker position.

Gunfight at high noon.

I honestly wouldn't have a problem with Barron.

I would have a problem with most of the OLBs who are projected to be there.

I think you have to address a need when you have so many players who fit the different needs.

S, DL and OL have to be the pick.

Im kind of the same way.

When the draft process started I was all about getting another OLB but I really think we need DL, DB, and interior OL in that order.

Agreed. Cox is definitely a "potential" pass-rushing 5T, but Ingram (or even McLellin, Curry, & Irvin) are all proven pass rushers.

that would be a great problem to have and I may want to trade with the Jets to get our pick @ #14 for their #16...they may want Floyd if he is there so at least two of these 3 could still be there

My thought exactly. I'm with not trading up and letting the draft come to us.

There's always a player who was thought to go in the top 10 falling to 11-15.

There's always a guy thought to go in the middle rounds falling between picks 32-50.

Rather bump the 2nd rounder up than the 1st rounder if that's what we're going to do. There will be a pass rusher or a very good o-lineman worth moving up for near the top of the 2nd.

Why would Tom not have a say?
