CB or WR?

[jamesdojr]

Assuming Terry Glenn never makes an impact like he once could, who is the stronger tandem? T.O./Patrick Crayton or Terrence Newman/A. Henry. I think Newman and Henry are a much stronger tandem which is why I think WR is much bigger priortiy.

Just curious because on the D.C. website, a survey showed that the majority of fans though CB was number one priority.

If T.O. goes down, the season is over. No ifs ands or buts. If either Newman or Henry go down, I wouldn't count us out.

Whether it's in a trade or a smart draft choice, we better get a playmaker at WR this offseason. T.O.s pushing 35.

The question is, do we need to improve our pass offense or our pass defense? While Newman/Henry seem comparable to TO/Crayton, our pass offense also includes Romo, which tips the comparison strongly infavor of upgrading our pass defense. I think if you look at the statistical performance of both groups, that should bear that out.

Bottom line is we can spend a 1st rounder on both.

I completely disagree.

As long as we have Romo there is hope.

You dont have 13 Pro Bowlers on 1 team and everything ride on 1 person other than a Quarterback.

 

[jamesdojr]

That's an honorable comment and I feel all bubbly inside - almost like I'm listening to the national anthem but let's be real.... T.O. is THAT important to this team. We need a guy either in a trade or the draft that can be an impact WR. After T.O., we have NONE...

[jamesdojr]

Also,

I'm ok with relying on the fact that we have 13 Pro Bowlers if one of those other 12 pro bowlers can suit up at WR if T.O. goes down... Maybe Flozell can flank left or Demarcus can line up in the slot.

Again with our current roster, T.O. staying healthy is critical.

I completely disagree.

TO is great don't get me wrong.

But the game is all about the Quarterback and I think Tony Romo is a top 3 NFL Quarterback with or without Owens.

Romo's game is just to much to handle to say we can't win the NFC without Owens.

 

[Hoofbite]

The offense has Witten so I think that the offense is in a better position then the defense.

As a result, I think CB should be top priority.

13 probowlers and 13 wins, Still amounts to nuthin. No playoff wins, just high Bonus and Highs Salary Caps figures and High ticket prices

Give me no probowlers and a playoff win

ok that was kinda random... but point taken

 

[links18]

The fact is that BOTH positions are critical needs. If Crayton goes down, Hurd can probably fill in fine, but you are right, if TO goes down we are screwed. However, if either Newman or Henry go down, we are totally screwed as there is absolutely no depth behind them. That said, what about trying Newman at WR a few snaps a game?

 

[Yakuza Rich]

Newman and Henry may be better than Owens and Crayton, but that doesn't mean that the Cowboys should definitely go after a WR with the first pick.

Also, in today's NFL you really need 3 quality corners and the Cowboys' #3 CB is Alan Ball at this moment.

Dallas is better off finding the best player out of CB, WR, and RB position with each of the first three picks. The CB class is pretty decent, while I'm not very high on the WR's in this draft class. If Talib, Rogers-Cromartie, Jenkins or McKelvin are there at #22, I believe they would be far better off taking one of them instead of one of the WR's in the draft.

[CATCH17]

Unless we are getting Malcom Kelly I think the first 5 or 6 corners are better than the 2 - 6 receivers

The Cornerback position is as loaded as I have ever seen it and I think we need to take the best one available @ 22 if Malcom Kelly isn't available.

for the most part he has played extremely well, but it also has to be noted he has played poorly in both postseason games as well as struggled the month of December in 06 and 07

which is why we need to upgrade the running game further

If Newman or Henery go down, you have Alan Ball as your starter and Olgsby as your nickle. Season Over

not sure I agree with all that...I do agree on WR, in that I am not sure any of them are really worth 1st rd picks...I am pretty sure that only 1 or 2 have a chance to make any real impact here immediately, and maybe not even that

at CB, I think there are 2 or 3 pretty talented guys, but none of them are Terence Newman or Champ Bailey type CB's...after the top 2-3, there a dropoff and the next 6 or 8 are all about the same IMO...I doubt any of the top 2-3 CB's makes it to our spot at 22, and I doubt Kelly is available either

thats why I've been a proponent of moving up...go get a real impact player in McFadden, and draft a good CB prospect who can play in the nickel in round 2

I really disagree with this, ROMO didn't play poorly in those playoff games. Not even close!!! Against the Seahawks, BP game plan was terrible and didn't allow Romo to throw the damn ball against a fresh off the street secondary. Against the Giants he made plenty of plays but the recievers decided they wouldn't catch the damn ball. He had one bad throw when he missed TO on the short crossing route when the ball slipped outta his hand. Then late in the game he was running for his life when the oline broke down but he was still trying to make something happen. Sorry, but Romo didn't play poorly in either of those games...

Part of the reason we didn't throw much against Seattle's depleted secondary was because Romo wasn't really accurate that playoff game. He was missing the WRs, hence, we dialed it back - a lot - in that game.

Yeah, his final numbers look good enough that game. But his play was the reason we weren't more aggressive the Seattle game.

 

[CATCH17]

Romo gave us a chance to win against Seattle.

He drove us down the field in crunch time.

In my opinion we never get in that hole to begin with if Terry Glenn doesn't fumble and give up a safety.

The New York Giants game we just got beat. Simple as that.

Im not really ashamed of that loss either.

He had a couple bad plays by WR's in the Giants game that hurt us, but he made alot of bad throws...he missed some easy ones and threw a terrible pass that got picked at the end of the game, when it appeared had he thrown to TO on the outside he was open (instead he threw basically into triple coverage at a gimpy Terry Glenn)...I'm not blaming him solely for the loss, but he did play poorly as has been the case both years once the calendar hit December. And I'm sure some ofthe bad late season play this yr could be due to the injury, but in either case it supports my cause for continued upgrading of the run game, which too often the past few seasons has disappeared.
