Going in to the '08 draft the Cowboys had eight(8) picks and needs for:
1) CB
2) WR
3) RB
4) OL
5) LB
The Cowboys drafted the following players:
F Jones, RB - M Jenkins, CB - M Bennett, TE- T Choice, RB - O Scandrick, CB - E Waldin, DE
That's six(6) players, they also picked up two(2) '09 picks (3rd & 4th). That's eight for eight in total chances. However the only addressed two(2) needs, CB & RB.
Here's my two days of heaven & hell!
RB
I threw my remote and dropped my drink when Mendenhall's name wasn't called. "What are they thinking!" was what I was yelling! F Jones isn't going to be a starter BUT Mendenhall wouldn't have been either. So after cooling down and REALLY thinking about it, "F Jones SHOULD be a better fit. I'm not sure about being a better RB but better fit." is what was I was thinking.
CB
After calming down and looking at the board and picks between #22 and #28 I said "Jenkins, Cason and Flowers are still there and only SD might take a CB, YES!!" Then I said "What did they just do that for! Just gave those two picks away!" So after getting over giving two picks away, I was elated with the first two picks - F Jones & Jenkins.
TE
"That's what I thought JERRY! Do you believe them now." Is what was going thru my mind when Bennett's name was called. TE was NOT a need until you traded Fasano thinking the Cardinals, Lions or Bengals would trade us a WR. EVEN after, for the last week, they were all saying they weren't trading a WR and turning down other offers. "At least you covered up your Dumb Arse mistake with someone worth having! IDOIT!"
After Day one "Not to bad! Three top notch players, even tho I think we lost two picks and had to pick a player we didn't need last weekend - B+"
"Trade, what did we get? We still don't have a WR. We do still have the first pick in round 4 and picked up a '09 4th tho"
"Trade, what did we get? We still don't have a WR. We still have #104 tho."
"Trade, what did we get? We still don't have a WR. We still have #111 tho."
"Trade, what did we get? We still don't have a WR. A '09 3rd, maybe we can get a WR then!"
"Let me guess, TRADE? NO GREAT a pick, but what WR's are left?"
RB
Smiling first thought in my mind was "good pick in case MB3 walks or can't play" Second thought was "hold on, if MB3 walks or can't play, I would rather have Mendenhall over a F Jones - Choice combo" Next thought was "I hope his knee is good now." THEN it hit me "STILL NO WR, What is going on!"
"There's our pick for PacMan, I HOPE HE PLAYS! Love this pick tho ..... heheh."
CB
"Trade cool, O Scandrick who's he?" After looking him up "Looks good but now we have about 15 DB's and NO WR's, JERRY!"
"Trade, what did we get? Our next pick is what 5(163)"
"Why not pick someone like O Schmitt here, OMG another *** TRADE!"
"Trade, Trade, Trade, No don't pick!"
DE
"E Walden, DE - YES!! not a WR. Who cares"
"..... I don't care what we do the rest of this round or the next ..... I'm going outside to go cut the grass!"
