Its my understanding that MB3 wants 5yrs 25million. Thats too much money to spend on a RB. As Parcels said on ESPN its an expendable position. I say we put the highest RFA tender of 2.35million on him, and simply let him play on a 1 year deal in 2008. Because he will be playing for a monster deal, he will be in premium condition. Instead of paying 5 million per season. we pay 2 Million per season on a 1st round Back with pick 22
1a. Jonathon Stewart- 5'11 235 RB 4.4 Oregon
He should be available @22 after Chicago takes the local kid Mendenhall @14, also the Texans opt to address RB via FA by signing Michael Turner so they pass on JStew. His contract should be in the 5 year 10 Million range.
1b. Tracy Porter- 5'11 185 CB 4.35 Indiana
Other CB's are available @31, but his change of direction ability is elite. I have seen the coaches tape of Porter, his tackling is suspect, but he is glued to receivers. Because he is a smaller & quicker CB he is perfectly suited to play in the slot as a nickle as a rookie then Challange Anthony Henry as the #2 Corner in year 2. Also, Porter is reguarded as the 2nd best Punt return prospect behind Desean Jackson of Cal. So he has added value as crayton is only servicable in this area.
2nd RD. DJ Hall- 6'2 190 WR 4.45 Alabama
Hall is a complete WR. He has size,valid speed and has produced vs elite competion in the SEC, His numbers were a little down from his JR season when he had 62 REC for 1056 yds 8TD's. He clearly has all the ability to develope into a solid #2 WR. He will compete with Hurd for the #3 WR spot as a rookie, then compete with Crayton as the #2 WR in year 2. Donnie Avery is another possibility in RD 2 because of his Violent speed and return ability, But Hall was a 4 year starter in the SEC and is capable of being a catylist in the post T.O era as a featured WR. Where as Avery seems to simply be an undersized slot type guy with bigtime return ability. Note: Should Adarius Bowman or Limas Sweed slid this far they may be better values, however late round 2 they should both be gone.
3rd RD. Carl Nicks 6'5 330 OL 5.2 Nebraska
Nicks is adeveloping talent. He plays LT for the Huskers but will probably slid inside to guard or play RT. In any event, The only reason he is not considered a 1st Round pick is because he has only played 2 years of major college ball after leaving JC and he didn't start as a junior. Thus comming into this year he had no hype and wasn't even listed as a draft possibility. However he was dominant and will beat out Joe Berger as the swing Guard as a rookie in 2008 and then beat out Kosier in 2009 or replace Colombo if James Marteen dosen't develope into a solid starter.
4th RD. Eric Ainge 6'6 230 QB 5.0 Tennessee
Ainge is good value here and allow's the cowboys to save $$$ by releasing Brad Johnson while getting younger with a player who has all of the ability to develope into a starting NFL QB someday
5th RD Ben Moffitt 6'2 245 ILB 4.7 South Florida
Moffitt is a stud at MLB. He is projected as a 5-6 round pick. He will be the #4 ILB behind Kevin Burnett and Bobby Carpenter. I predict the Cowboys will release Akin Ayodele, who is is decent but not worth the 3.5 million cap number in 2008. Burnett and Carpenter will fight for the other ILB spot opposit Bradie James. The loser will be the #3 ILB next year. Spencer Larsen LB of Arizona is a possibillity here as well if he is avilable in the 5th round.
6th RD Curtis Gatewood 6'2 245 OLB 4.65 Vanderbilt
Gatewood is an explosive edge rusher who seems perfectly suited for the Cowboys 3-4 Scheme. The Giants have shown everyone that you cannot have too many pass rushers. Gatewood offers more explosiveness off the edge than does Justin Rogers as the #4 OLB and should be able to win that training camp battle. Note: Andy Studebaker will be a priority undrafted FA from Wheaton College. Studebaker missed 5 games as a senior at his D-III school. But he had 25 sacks in 05-06. He is soo intriguing because he ran 4.48! last spring at 6'3 255 and should makethe transition to a stand up edge rusher fairly smooth because of his speed and quickness. But because of the level of competition and Injury he probably won't get drafted, but Iwould like to see him in camp and maybe a practice squad guy.
7. Marcus Dixon 6'4 300 DE 4.9 Hampton
He is a Very intriguing player here... Please read his story below. Note that he signed with Vandy and had a 3.96 GPA before you pass judgement!

[FONT=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][SIZE=-2]Son of Ken and Teri Jones. Dixon spent 15 months in prison after being convicted of aggravated child molestation, a felony, and statutory rape, a misdemeanor. He was accused of assaulting a 15-year-old classmate in a trailer behind Pepperell High School in February 2003, when he was 18. A jury acquitted Dixon of rape, but he was sentenced to 10 years in prison on the molestation charge. Some called the case an injustice because Dixon is black and the girl is white, although prosecutors denied that race played a role. On May 3, the Georgia Supreme Court overturned the felony conviction and its 10-year sentence, and a lower court ruled that Dixon already had fulfilled his sentence for statutory rape. Dixon had a scholarship to Vanderbilt University in Nashville, before his arrest. Vanderbilt rescinded its offer.[/SIZE][/FONT]
