Donald rd 1
Prior rd 2
Manziel rd 3

If that happened- I would throw a three day party and suffer a four day hangover and be damn proud of each and every part of it.

we are running 4- 3 bro now.

i think my assesment fits perfectly .

spencer and ware are finished

assanine to think either are going to be 4-3 defensive ends.

Where did I say anything about specific positions?
Asinine to presume such things.
Reread my post and ponder it with heavy meditation.
Free agency is for one purpose- the draft is for another altogether.

Just looking for the consensus of who this board wants to draft. Aaron Donald seems to fall to us in most of the mock drafts.

I like the guy, seems to be involved in every play. I honestly just want a guy who has not missed a game since pop warner.
We have way too many injured starters every year, it's ridiculous.
Just like M.Johnson and S.Lee were labeled injury prone coming out, I want a guy labeled as a rhino.

Good
not much metal out there, to be honest. maybe kittie pride and she can just phase through to the endzone untouched.
Good one. An old-school X-Men fan.
Totally dig it.
Prof X would definitely be the coach.
How could they lose? He'd know the oppositions plays before they did...

That guy could have been the greatest gambler ever.

That's her?
I love that show! I have it DL'd, but have only gone through 4 episodes so far.
I watch TV on a very... slow... timescale.
I'm only halfway through Season Two of Game of Thrones and halfway through of Season Three of Fringe and barely beginning Breaking Bad and Homeland.
And all that's been more than a year (sometimes more than two) to get to those points.

When you get a chance, watch True Detectives. Best show on TV and I've watched all those you're watching.

I'm going to check True Detectives out, for sure.
I've never heard about it before- so if it turns out to be something I love, I only have you to credit.
Props.

I offered up free agency as an inevitable reality that comes before the draft.
You know it happens, right?
And I have no names for the first three rounds of the draft.
Like I said before- The draft is so unpredictable when it happens.
I hope for the best available talent and more hopefully it is at a position of immediate need.
But in the draft- I believe you have to pick the BEST TALENT reasonable to the talent you have on the team already.
Is that unreasonable to you?

who would you draft in the first round corso?

we don't have the coin to play free agency thanks to jerry and his moronic contracts to ware, romo, austin,rat and wait for it.....two consecutive franchise tags to that bum spencer who shows up when the he feels like....

I get where you're coming from and I think you're slightly wrong about what the team will do when it comes to the happenstances leading up to the draft.
Why don't we wait until Free Agency has played it's game and then I can give you a definitive answer.

I respect the question you've laid upon me and I respect you for laying this challenge upon me.
So I ask you to respect my caveat in return until free agency has run it's course.

I'll remember your question and answer it in kind when the time comes as honestly as I can.
Fair? Or no?

I want the best DT or DE that we can get. Then in the next round I want another D-lineman, the best one we can get at the other position.

I've read everywhere that Donald is a good fit for Marinelli's defense. Rumor has it that the cap is supposed to balloon up to $130+ million. Here's the scenario. Jerry is somehow able to re-sign Hatcher. We're on the clock. Donald and Prior are there for the taking. Does Jerry:

  • Draft Donald anyway and pair him up with Hatcher to shore up up our front 7 or...
  • Draft Prior and shore up our porous secondary?

Personally wont be upset with Donald or Pryor in no particular order just want an impact player with the first pick and both fit that bill IMO.

donald or pryor would be awesome.

donald is cat quick like sapp

pryor is a dying breed of safety who likes to light people up with clean ,hard hits.

reminds me of roy back when roy was roy.

pryor and church could be very fun to watch..

I like Donald however for the Cowboys to maximise his potential we’ll need to have the right pieces in place on the DL.

Here’s a good article on how three technique players faired with the correct (or otherwise) pieces in place.

http://www.cowboyszone.com/2014/02/cowboys-2014-draft-would-aaron-donald.html

If we don’t get at least one of (Ware, Spencer) back and playing well and manage to land a better one technique that Hayden, I feel we won’t get what we should expect from Donald.

If we pick Donald then well need to add quality pieces to the DL pretty sharpish.

Here's my issue: if we let Hatcher go and draft Donald, will this defense really be that much improved?

They're ignoring the importance of safety once again and the rest of the DL is a huge question mark.
