A letter to Santa Claus - Dallas Cowboys Forum

Chris in Arizona · 12-13-2010

Dear Santa, I've been fairly good this year (Hos, you stay out of this) so I'm hoping you'll consider getting me everything on my Draftmas List.

1. A defensive coordinator who will do for the defense what Jason Garrett has done for the team. Give them an identity. In fact, I'm going to be a little greedy and ask for a whole new defensive coaching staff. I know you can't find one of these in the draft but I don't want Dave Campo near another young player.

2. I want, change that, I need a ballhawking safety. A Dez Bryant type athlete who will go after the ball and throw his body around. I don't know, maybe someone with enough speed, athleticism, and viciousness to punish little elves like DeSean Jackson. A tall order I know but hey, you have to fly to every house in a single night so I know you can pull this off.

3. Okay, I may need you to look the other way on this one and let me see who the number one linebacker on your naughty list is. I'm talking a gunpowder eating, Rottweiler of a man, who will give our defense some much needed attitude. I know Vontaze Burfect and Manti Te'o are a whole Draftmas away, but someone like that.

4. No more faulty, break in one year, bargain O Line prospects. Real Offensive Linemen only please.

Thanks. I will leave out some cookies and milk.

P.S. Feel free to leave some quality undrafted free agents as stocking stuffers.

Burfict is a man-beast. He is off the chain insane tho. Te'o still needs to be instinctive, still thinking too much. But I doubt he comes out as a JR. Mauti is another one to keep an eye on too once he recovers from his nagging injuries.

But neither will be available in this draft. I think Herzlich could regain his greatness in a season or two. He would be great value at the end of day one or the beginning of day 2.

I want me some Patrick Peterson(PS3) or Robert Quinn(New laptop) but Im starting to feel like I should settle for Nick Fairley($100 into my retirement fund)
