2009 Draft Thoughts

[MONT17]

Can we go over the 2010 draft next?

Sure, tell me what you are interested in knowing. I can't surmise Compensatory picks yet because we haven't lost or signed any UFAs, but I can at least give you a partial picture.

I think we are definitely gonna end up going quality over quantity in this draft with so many late picks and so few holes.

I wouldn't be surprised if we only end up drafting 5-6 players, though that might be real tough to pull off.

That's what I would do also.

NFL Network and ESPN might as well have a reporter in Dallas because Jerry is going to be making deals all weekend long.

That just gets me so pumped up.

I'd put LB at the top of the priority list.

Ware is pretty much our only LB without issue.

Spencer looks like the real deal, but has been showing a tendency to get dinged.

James is a two down player with limited ability. He's played well for us, but there is no reason we shouldn't be looking for an upgrade.

Thomas is a playmaker and a tackling machine, but it looks as if he's finally starting to lose a step. He went to high school with CBz40.

Carpenter is obviously not what we thought he was going to be. Plays like he's terrified of contact.

Burnett is constantly injured. He's likely gone next year.

Rogers and Polk are essentially special teamers.

We're hurting at linebacker on a defense that has under achieved for several years now. We need a LB in the second IMO. Inside preferably.

Great observation.

I agree.

Amazing considering the #1 picks invested in linebacker, but you're right, there's still a need at the position.

I would figure either linebacker or O-line depending on value.

Right Tackle if we don't re-sign Columbo. Just a guess.

Don't even say that.

Given the pathetic 'depth' on the offensive line, re-signing Colombo is a must.

 

[Rampage]

I think we really need to look at fullback. I don't think Cricket is the answer not to mention how bad he played last Sunday.

I highly doubt they will look at FB until late. Hillis and Schmidt were the top 2 rated FBs in a long, long time and we didn't go after either of them.

You just had to bring that up!

It still stings me. He was my pet cat. I laugh when I think of the people who said we did not need his blocking.

We don't?

Look at the bright side, we got Erik Walden instead!

Oh wait.....

Ah man I wanted Hillis so badly he does it all!!!!!!!! Hillis > Schmitt any day of the week and twice on sundays!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Bob Sacamano]

I agree w/ the pudgy hippy, LB should be our #1 target

Ellis isn't getting it done anymore, and in any event is nearing the wall

Spencer is a little dinged a little too much

Carp is a bust

etc. etc.

we also should target another DE or 2, Hatcher and Bowen are fringe players at best

depends on what we do w/ Tank Johnson, we could use another NT too

I'd have taken Hillis, but Schmidt was the one player I had to have. Him in front of the Barberian running behind BIGG was a thought that gave me goose bumps.

whether we have 9 picks or 12 after its all said and done, next years draft will be a boring one for me, since we dont have a 1st, and more than likely a late 2nd and 3rd.

Man, not me. IMO a good draft is made on Day 2.

when you gotta listen to those talking heads talk about every other team for 8 hours before we pick, it gets boring.

I know what you're saying hopefully some of the younger picks can make the team next year and not get cut like Walden....we have a lot of picks and if we use them all we could really shake up the roster and get even younger.

#1, #3 and #6 gone. Dallas is back to Galloway trap - our draft in 2009 is rather backstage to Roy #11 now.
