Are any of the above going high in the first round in your opnion?
I don't think that the draft is very strong this year, after the first 5 . I wouldn't be opposed to trading down to get more of what we need.
I could be wrong ,cause you guys are the Guru's.

I can't imagine drafting a Pittsburgh offensive lineman this coming spring. Did you see the turnstile group that played this year? Palko was lucky to have survived the season without suffering a massive head injury. When teams like Ohio and Rutgers are getting a lot of pressure on your QB, your line isn't destined for major NFL success.

Hate to tell you guys this, but don't be shocked if McBriar is conspicuously missing from the Cowboys next year. For sure he can boom punts sometimes, but he is so freakin inconsistent that he will at the very least drawa HEAVY camp competition. Dream on about Petite at L tackle. His feet are WAY to slow for pro ball on the left side-why do you think nobody else grabbed him? He, too, will draw intense competition in camp but probably will still remain-but maybe not as a starter...but maybe as one, who knows. It won't be on the left side tho.

McBriar has done fairly well - I don't see us drafting a punter. I hope we change our philosophy on kickers, though, and go into FA for a reliable Kicker. I like the rest of your picks - we definitely need to get the best OT on the board in the first round, followed by (in no particular order), a G, a WR, a FS, and a LB. If Beriault can stay healthy next year, he will be a definite plus to the S position and special teams.

He won't fall out of the second round.

There is no formula for success except an unconditional acceptance of life and what it brings.

Pettiti will surely have much better footwork in two or three years, enough so that he will be able to play on the left side. Im talking about like 09 when Flozell leaves or retires.

And im thinking Gurode might finally be the guy to step in and replace Rivera on the right side.

im hoping for this line in 3-4 years....
RT - Pettiti
RG - Spencer (rookie from pitt)
C - Lecharles Bentley/ Al Johnson
LG - Andre Gurode
LT - McNeil (rookie from Auburn)
FORMERLY

I would rather have Hank Baskett from UNM. He is going to be a star in the NFL. And we could probably get him relatively late in the draft, maybe with a 3rd.

I like the McNeil pick alot.
Moss I'm not as sure about. I think you can get someone like Skylar Green a little later on and he seems to have the same skill set if you are looking for a smurf/special teams WR type.
If we are picking WR I would love to have Travis Wilson in round 3. He was hampered by an injury and woeful QB play and is going to go later than he should. Mark Clayton, Mark Bradley and Brandon Jones all have had impact plays this year but last year Travis Wilson had more TD's than all of them and he has that size you love at 6'3" 220.
I had an apartment and I had a neighbor, and whenever he would knock on my wall I knew he wanted me to turn my music down and that made me angry 'cause I like loud music... so when he knocked on the wall, I'd mess with his head. I'd say, "Go around! I cannot open the wall! I dunno if you have a doorknob on your side but over here there's nothin'. It's just flat."

I think that is a pretty good draft.
McNeill is my favorite player in this years draft( that we actually have a chance at). Moss is another one of the guys I would love to have. I am hoping he would fall to the 3rd. If Hank Baskett is there in the 2nd i'd rather get him. havent seen spencer play, but we definitely need a big guard. Punter is not a issue, make that pick a kicker lol.

Round 2 - - Sinorice Moss WR Miami 5'8" 185 lb
The fastest player in the draft gets to come in and become part of a suddenly young recieving corp. Oh yea the cowboys just want a Moss

Round 3 - - Charles Spencer OG Pittsburg 6'5" 330 lb
See a trend? Big linemen, Parcells wants to push people around Mcneil, and Spencer can do that. Plus there is still something between Spencer and Pettiti(the future right side)

Round 4 - - Chris Harrell FS Penn State 6'2" 210 lb
Fast FS with the skills to make it in the pros. just hope he is available.

Round 5 - - John Torp P Colorado

He is a solid player, won't be Ed Reed, but worth a mid to late round

definatly not in the first round

we have way too many good young linebackers, and way too many old decrepid offensive linemen to take a linebacker in the first maybe a LB in the second

No, we have two: Ware and James. Burnett's knees can't be counted on. Shanle and Fowler are backup material, as is Fujita who will be a free agent IIRC.

We should draft one LB in the first or second round (Bobby Carpenter would be my choice) and another LB in a later round.

We go for at least one LB - Al will be coming back- but with BUrnett on a knee that has to make BP think about getting another one. Ratlief will be back- we are in pretty good shape on the line. Glover and Ellis will stay for one more year I think-more about making a run for the SB then anything else.
