Do a search and you'll find 50 independent sites that say Romo's hand size is 8 7/8, finding one guy who got it wrong doesn't change things.

50 sites like to copy and paste misinformation but knock yourself out, guru. I'll trust the actual NFL site. You know, the people that actually measured his hands.

Maybe not in his rookie year, but maybe in his 2nd or 3rd year when he takes over.

Yeah but are we really in rebuilding mode? That's the mindset a team like the Browns should have. If Romo stays healthy this past season we're easily in the playoffs and knows what would've happened then. We have the best O-line in football, a top 3 reciever, great tight end, and when healthy, an elite quarterback. In my opinion we need to be going all out to maximize Romo's last couple years... and drafting a QB at 4 isn't going to help us in the near future.

cant believe we would contemplate drafting a Rb at 34 when so many awesome DTs will be available at that pick,this team doesnt know how to fix the Dline.

RB Is far more important than DT though. Especially on this team. I think a lot of those DT's that people think will be there are going to end up being picked in the late 1st round.

not really.its our Oline,you can get a good Rb latter in the draft or even in FA but you cant get a good DT in FA because those dont hit the market at all.I will be pissed if we dont pick 2 DTs in the first 5 picks in this draft.there is no much talent in this draft,a 4th Rder would have been a 2nd Rder in other drafts.this is the time to build our Dline inside out .

You can get a good DT ALSO later on in the draft. You can also get a dominant game changing running back. You can always sign a DT.

like we have been doing the last couple of drafts,throwing a couple of 7th Rders at the position .where are they now? .This team really has no clue at all.why do you think Hardy was so good at Panthers but not here?.they had dominant DT play every game so the QB had no pocket to work with which is the opposite of what we have.

Hardy wasn't good here because he took a year off. I don't deny this team needs a dominant DT I just don't see why you need to address one over a running back. This team didn't have a dominant DT and we went 12-4. We went 12-4 due to having a dominant running game. Which is why i'd try and get that better than it was last year. Dominant if possible.

And when have we thrown a few 7th rounders towards DT? We haven't even really drafted any DT's in any part of the draft.

we had a pretty good running game last season too,Dmac had over 100 yards with just 10 games starting but we went 4-12.

DT over RB this year anyway. I rather take a DT early and gamble on a decent RB in the 4th.

We went 12-4 because we had a good QB and passing game to go along with our running game. But it was the inability to generate pressure on Rodgers that sent us home.

 

[DogFace]

I don't think Bosa will be that good. Not worth that pick for sure. Hope he's wrong.

 

[cowboyschmps3]

Before combine I wanted Henry after measurements and especially that 40 how can you not like or want him that's a big ol' diesel truck run that fast, behind McFadden then to gash defenses.

 

[Carson]

I don't think Bosa will be that good. Not worth that pick for sure. Hope he's wrong.

Even if he is, it'll take a few seasons to have any impact for us. Most rookie ends are looking at 5-6 sacks.

 

[Jstopper]

was a really quick convo because I was in a rush and he looked pretty busy too.

First he told me "I told you so" because he was telling me mid season the coaches and several players really didn't like Hardy and he swore Hardy would be gone after the season. He really doesn't like Hardy so he was happy about that situation.

Then I asked him about the draft and he said they still like Wentz a lot but he will most likely be picked by Cleveland. Said that they really like Bosa. I asked about Spence and he told me he's not an option. But that they REALLY like Bosa. He was very emphatic about that.

He also told me that Lynch would be an option in a trade back or if he slipped to 2 (that's pretty obvious). But he also said we like Connor Cook in the 2nd which surprised me. They're comfortable waiting on QB because they believe in Romo.

Outside of those guys he said we like Elliott RB but not enough to spend a 1st on him, but said we will absolutely use a 2nd on Derrick Henry if he's available. This surprised me because I didn't think we'd value him that high.

I wanted to talk more but I had to go. Not sure when I'll see him again but I'll post about it if I do.

I hope your guy is right. I was saying we should take Connor cook in the 2nd, he could get his game coached up here behind Romo. Get er done Jerry!

 

[Cowboys1fan]

And when Romo goes down again for the season, we can celebrate another 4-12 outting.

And when romo doesn't go down but we can't stop a mediocre offense because we can't stop the run or get after the qb. A rookie backup qb won't save our season. We are better off trying to put players around romo.

Ignore this Jerry!

 

[BlueStar22]

Romo is not playing 16 anymore, we'd better try to get one of the top 2 qbs.

You'd rather have a 1 tech over a stud running back? And i'm trying to get back to the game that sent us home. You can't do that without a run game.

I know we need a RB but he doesn't have to be a stud. Instead of drafting a high ranking back like Elliott or Henry we can get a back like Howard in the later rounds and he would be productive behind our line. DT on the other hand needs to be a player that has an immediate impact. Under normal circumstances I would value a RB over a DT, but in our scenario we have an above average o-line in place that any competitive back could utilize d-line on the other hand is below average and needs a capable big man in the middle to make it an effective unit. So at this point in time that puts a higher priority on the DT position.
