Why does everyone have us taking a CB? Why why why why why why why why why why why why why?!?!? That is completely ridiculous. We will NOT spend for a CB again. Been burned by the state of officiating and we have money tied into 2 DBs already, not to mention what we will pay for a new safety.

That is too much cap money for one position that will inevitably be burned if you trot anyone who isn't Deion out there.

pollock over kiwi & dj :nono:

pollock over kiwi

I would not Rule out A Zimmer fire tomorrow,

Kiwi is a 4-3 DE prospect. Won't fit in 3-4. Pollack is a 4-3, 3-4 fit. Hybrid. Will be telling to see how we draft D this year...........and FA.

Prediction - the Chargers leapfrog the Skins (they have plenty of draft ammo) to grab a WR. Maybe trading with Arizona, who could easily drop down and draft a Ronnie Brown/C. Williams. Smart move for both teams.

If I'm Tenn., I look hard at QBs this draft. I can't understand why more mocks don't have them picking one. McNair is done, and I don't think Volek is a longterm answer. They'd be foolish to miss out on a chance to draft one (although a second rounder could yield value this year at QB).

 

[The30YardSlant]

I swear to God if we pass on DJ I will hunt Jerry Jones down, rip out his intestines and strangle him with them :chop:

 

[boysfanindc]

I don't believe we would pass in Mathias Kiwanuka if he happens to be there.

People have us taking a corner, because we need one whether it be round 1 or 2.

 

[Duane]

I really like Frank Coyle's stuff but he can be off, big time off. Like last year he thought that Greg Jones was one of the best backs in the draft.

 

[Deegym]

Bill Parcells already said that he is not picking a cornerback high in the first round again. He said with the rule changes against the DB, he said it's not worth picking up a corner that high (ie Terrance Newman).

 

[Kevlee06]

There's a big difference in giving a CB $13 million signing bonus and using the 20th pick on a CB and spending $4/5 million signing bonus.

 

[Deegym]

Im talking about picking a corner at #11. I think Bill will not select a corner with the #11 pick, even if Rolle is there.

Dude, are you serious?
Volek passed for like 300 yards a game and plenty of TDs while the crappy secondary kept getting torched and the RB kept limping off the field.

Volek may not be great but he is probably their 3rd or 4th best offensive player and they could have McNair back at neat full strength as well.

The Tits need CBs, DL, OL in a major way.

I loved Volek last off-season as a future Cowboy, but our genius coach had such a hard-on for the incomperable Vinny Testaverde that he chose to completely ignore him even at a bargain rate.

This guy knows nothing. Tampa needs a balanced back, so they'd draft ronnie brown. DOlphins are gonna take CED at #2.
