Just say no to Bowe
I seriously doubt Hall of Fame scribe Rick "Goose" Gosselin considered the following info when he bumped LSU WR Dwayne Bowe down several spots in his mock draft. But let me explain to you why the Cowboys absolutely, positively cannot draft Bowe.
He went to LSU. That's it. That's the reason.
Consider the Cowboys' luck with LSU guys. Gil Brandt and Jimmy Johnson were smart enough to never draft a Bayou Bengal. Here's hoping Jerry has wised up after getting burned a whole bunch.
Check out the LSU products the Cowboys have drafted:
TE
David LaFleur, first round, 1997 -- The Cowboys took LaFleur, a bust even before his back went bad, with the 22nd overall pick. Can bad karma possibly be any clearer?
LB
Bradie James, fourth round, 2003 -- James played just well enough to fool Jerry into giving him a big contract. Now, he's the butt of Jon Kitna's jokes.
OG
Stephen Peterman, third round, 2004 -- If Jacob Rogers weren't picked in the previous round, Peterman might be the worst pick of the Tuna's career.
DE
Marcus Spears, first round, 2005 -- Maybe Bill Parcells' system was Spears' problem, but he sure has a ton to prove entering his third season.
WR/KR
Skyler Green, fourth round, 2006 -- Gotta love burning a fourth-rounder on a guy who is J.A.G. on the practice squad
