CB or Oline in the draft???

[The Natural]

Really hard to say at this point unless we know if there will be a free agency period. Supposedly Cleveland is going to release Eric Wright CB and Wimberly has already been release by Oakland.

My bet Ryan gets both of them. Wright is only a 4 year guy and KW a 5 year guy plus could easily see us going after Jonathan Joseph CB out of Cincinnati and/or Donte Whitner S out of Buffalo. All of those will be at most mid range contracts not top end type.

It also would allow Dallas to part ways with Anthony Spencer, Terence Newman and even possibly O. Scandrick. You can be fairly sure that I. Olshansky DE is going to be traded to Houston and wouldn't be surprised if Newman and Spencer were part of that deal. If so, then wouldn't be surprised to see a 2nd and 3rd or better in that deal.

Just reading between the lines, I could see F. Jones possibly on the block (not saying he will but could see it) especially if Garrett wants Ingram at RB. Then you probably pick up a cheap back that wants to regain his status like a Cadillac Wiliams out of Tampa Bay so your RBs could become Ingram, Choice, Williams and Miller. More power than speed but that is how Garrett learned the business.

Also could see Bennett be traded to say St. Louis along with say a Scandrick and maybe L. Davis OG. Probably could get a 2nd in total for the 3 of them, mayber even a 2nd and 4th.

Could see a small trade down at that point with a Minnesota or Miami who I believe will take a QB and want to jump Washington.

As to Felix Jones, I like the kid but at Arkansas he was never the #1 guy and just don't see him ever being our #1 guy. He is more of the 3rd down/change of pace guy. But if New England wanted say Felix and say our 40th for the 28th and 33rd, I would be all over it.

This post is sarcasm right?

Our recent track record says we will not be a big player in free agency until the higher priced (and more sought after) free agents have found their respective teams (Commanders). It's fun playing free agency Madden though. To answer the posted question, I think we go O line. With issues at both Guard spots, a right tackle problem, and no backup center in the hopper, I think we should try to get the best at center and/or guard and try to find a good mobile tackle for the right side. My guess is we select a guard and center very high with picks 2 and 3. We will choose 2 project LBs late and with the first pick, Mr. Dareus. Upset special: there will not be a CB picked in the draft and we will enjoy once again, the trio of Scandrick, Newman and Jenkins with Mr. Ball and a bum free agent corner rounding out the CB unit.

In case this is not sarcasm, let me assure you that Newman, Felix, Scandrick and Spencer will be Cowboys this season.

For the millionth time.

Regardless of the CBA status, there WILL be a draft.

But what if late April rolls around and the players are locked out.

The college players aren't locked out and the draft would go on.
It would put a dent in signing contracts though.

 

[burmafrd]

the only sure things are the Draft and the combine.

Patrick Peterson is going to fall all the way to 9...The Cowboys are going to take him, this board and the rest cowboy nation is going to go wild..wild like never before..this board will be full of excitement all offseason, people will be talking superbowl and even a dynasty..and football will never be played again..

 

[ghst187]

Depends on what JJ thinks we can accomplish in FA. If we could get someone like Clabo to shore up RT then I think it'd be worth it to trade up to get Peterson. If we still need 3x OL going into the draft, we really need to trade down and take an OT like Carimi and pick up an extra 2nd or 3rd round pick.
We are pretty needy this offseason: RT, G, G/C, CB, S, probably NT and RB, and that's just the immediate needs. We really need to get one or two of those in FA or else drafting is going to be difficult.
Ideally I'd like to see: sign a FA RT and S
1) Trade up for Peterson, a dynamic playmaker and PR
2) G/C Wisniewski
3) NT
4) Cecil Shorts, always good to add speed combined with quickness
5) RB Roy Helu or John Clay, powerback for short yardage

 

[SilverStarCowboy]

There are some uber talanted prospects on the Defensive side of the ball who could be next level Super Stars at #9 including DE Cam Jordan, DB Patrick Peterson, DL Marcel Dareus and DT Nick Fairly.


If/when one of these fall to #9 you can't trade down.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

I'd be happy with Peterson, Prince, or a quality RT. Of course if they could sign Clabo through FA then I'd be a lot more willing to be looking at CB or DE with that first pick.
