Default Confession Time

I have heard so many rumors of what we are going to do, from every freaking direction, and I honestly at this point feel neurotic. Guys I trust have differing scenarios. They have different players as targets.

The next 6 and a half hours are going to be torture at this point.

My best guess is this, and please note, I have heard so much that I am only guessing for the first time in several years. My guess is we want Mark Barron, and were willing to trade up, possibly as high as Miami at 8, but they are now focused on not risking losing Tannehill. We may still go up to 11 and grab him, but are most likely going to stay put and one of the following is going to happen.

A. Barron is there, San Diego has not moved up to 12, and we take him.

B. Barron is gone, we take DeCastro who bowled everyone over with how focused he is on football.

C. We get an offer and trade down. I have no idea who for or with. There are simply too many rumors now to keep track of them all.

I feel neurotic. My head is going to explode. I hope tacos help me regain my focus.

Wow. I have never seen the swirl of rumors quite like this.

I feel the same way. There's so much going on and I don't want to see them lose out.

I need a fast forward button!

Sing it with me:

"Let's go DeCastro!"

I hate the idea of trading up for Barron. Cox is the only guy I would trade up to get.


Dez Bryant, Receiver. A man who's season is over. Gentlemen, the Cowboy's staff can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to make the world's first super human receiver.
Dez Bryant will be that man. Better than he was before. Better.... Stronger..... Faster......

There is a thread on here that had notes from Norm. I think that list is dead on and would only add Ronnell Lewis and Burfict.

I was really getting into the draft earlier, but I started to get this too and just had to step away from it.

My wife can be very indecisive and it absolutely drives me crazy. This has been worse than trying deciding where to go on vacation with the wife. It has been easier to not think about it and just wait for draft day to get here. It's here and I'm ready to go!
Formerly the notorious nyc!

I've got more red flags than Soviet Russia!

There is a good chance that you don't like me, but there is a better chance that I don't care.

If I'm not insulting you, I'm probably not aware that you exist.



Jerry Jones in the draft room is suicide on the football field. The line of scrimmage is EVERYTHING. Something Jerry doesn't understand.

I want this.

Defense gets better automatically as they'll be on the field less.

sounds most logical. Which probably means it will not happen. I am warming up to Barron; just do NOT WANT BROCKERS!
