DMN: NFL Draft experts agree on who Cowboys could take with No. 9 pick

[Arch Stanton]

I want everyone who reads this thread to use the word 'dillhole' at least once today. Come back and post the context so we'll know you did it proper. Thanks.

Don't be a dillhole.

 

[Idgit]

Don't be a dillhole.

Ouch. He shoots, scores!

 

[JBS]

"Outsanding instincts, ball skills and anticipation."

Yeah, right.

How in the world did he end up with zero picks this year?

I guess Revis and Nnamdi suck too then..get a clue

 

[JBS]

I keep coming back to 5 guys..
Patrick Peterson

Robert Quinn

Marcel Dareus

Gabe Carimi

Derrick Sherrod

Get me 1 of those 5. I think they all hold the least bust potential.

It's absolutely laughable to say Carimi is a better prospect than Prince..Carimi may not
even be a first rounder

 

[DHuskerCowboy]

I'm glad most folks are comin' around my way of thinking..

hboy:

On a slightly more serious note, I wouldn't jump off the building if the Cowboys draft Prince, but he's just not worth the 9th pick, imo. I'd rater the do the trade down thing, as opposed to draft him at that spot.

Havent Been here Long but why do you think Prince isn't worth the pick at 9?

 

[The Realist]

I guess Revis and Nnamdi suck too then..get a clue

If you're comparing him to the two best corners in the league, why isn't he the first corner in this draft?

Revis was taken with the 14th overall pick.

 

[JBS]

Who said he won't be taken first? Prince is slated to go higher than both Revis AND Nnamdi..

 

[BAT]

If neither Fairley, Quinn or Peterson are there at #9, then the pick should be Paea or Miller.

First pick has to be a starter. Forget trading down.

 

[Hostile]

I'm not sure he is there at #9.

No one will be there at #9. I have it on good authority from this very forum that 32 players will be selected before we pick at #9. All of them someone that people here want badly and they will be forced to rue like they have never rued before.

The person left to us at number 9 is automatically a dillhole. We will rue that dillhole.

 

[UnoDallas]

I'd be fine with him, but if we do not go Patrick Peterson I think we need to go DL.

Marcel Dareus from Bama possibly.

gotta disagree at 15

Derek Sherrod, Mississippi State 6-6 #305 -

Doug Free played well at ROT last year in Columbo's absence and with the top LOT still on the board, why not have the flexibility of 2 athletic young bookends that are interchangeable? Sure makes game-day decisions of whittling down 53 to 45 easier, in the case of deciding on back-up OL in the case of injuries. This is a case where value equals need and is a fine pick by Dallas.

Sherrod has the quickest feet and best natural athleticism of the top-tier tackles, and the Cowboys sorely need those characteristics up front



After a week of attempting "value picks" and not addressing the obvious OL deficiencies, decided to place a higher priority on the Big Uglies and ended up with the top OT in the draft. Sherrod can play either bookend and the interchangeability between he and Doug Free will be valuable on game-day inactive decisions. Injuries do play a part in the NFL game, as the Cowboys learned all too well this season.

there are a bunch if uglies that can be put on the D line

an Darues does not impress me one bit
not so with the O line

I will tell Sherrod is my number one pick this year - don't thing I will change it either

we have to do something with the O line

Style points: awarded.

It'd be cool if there were someone with the last name of Dillhole in this draft. Tony Dillhole, maybe. And we could draft him at #9. It'd be like that year when Richie Incognito was Mister Irrelevant.

 

[CATCH17]

It's absolutely laughable to say Carimi is a better prospect than Prince..Carimi may not
even be a first rounder

Carimi and Dareus seem like the 2 biggest non bust potential players.

I think Carimi goes top 15. Some team will think he can play LT.

 

[28 Joker]

I think Prince Amukamara will probably be there. I have thought that he was a over rated for the top 10, but I think he is a solid first rounder. However, I don't think he is a true blue-chip player in this draft. He could end up at safety like Malcolm Jenkins. His long speed, explosiveness, and ability to play the ball is a concern, and he needs to run a solid low to mid 4.4 to help keep him in the top 10, imo.

see this article:

http://www.sportingnews.com/nfl/fee...-top-40-prince-amukamara-may-end-up-at-safety

I'd prefer to rebuild from the inside-out, and Amukamara has to be really special for me to take him at nine, because Newman still has some good football left in him and both lines up front are in bad shape. You can get Pro Bowl CBs late in round one. I think Dallas will have some really good players to choose from.

 

[rkell87]

I think Sherrod and Carimi are both better than him.


I just think if this was any other year for corners he wouldn't go this high.

JMO and I could be very wrong about this guy but I just don't see very good instincts or anything.


I really like Aaron Williams from Texas better. I don't think Prince is that much better and Williams brings more value.

williams would have been a second rounder in last years draft, i think that is where he belongs.

 

[JBS]

I think we are going to land Prince and I think we are going to get an absolute gem..

I know what your trying to say, but we also have to realize that this draft could go badly for us cause there seems to be a clear line in talent right above where we pick.

Of course there is a long time to go before the draft, and players will rise and fall, but right now there is a great possibility that the top tier talent will be gone when we pick. Hopefully one of them falls, they take alot of QBs before us, or someone we don't even know right now flies up the draft into our view.

I figure it will be the latter, and after the workouts our picture at #9 will be more clear.

I'll tell you a CB who I was impressed with. I saw him play in the Sugar Bowl.

Chekwa Chimdi 5-11 190 Ohio State

He dislocated his wrist in the game. Wrist injuires can be risky. I read where some scouts thought he would be a first round pick. I saw him projected in round three on one site. If his wrist checks out, he would be someone to look at in round 3 if he indeed slips.

He was coveing those fast Arkansas WRs deep, and that is Amukamara's question mark. Is Amukamara going to need safety help all the time deep?

I'm not sure where Carimi ends up right now, but if I'm looking for a RT, he's the guy I want.

Took over as a redshirt freshman from Joe Thomas. This year's Outland Winner. Academic All American.

He's gone up against some pretty good talent on a regular basis already (Clayborn and Heyward)

Ideal first for me would be a trade down to grab him and pick up another 2nd or 3rd.

Well I can tell you, none of Arkansas WRs are fast. Mallett was carrying the team all year really, none of the upperclassmen WRs Arkansas has except Childs who didn't play in the Sugar Bowl cause he was hurt, will even be drafted most likely.

Chimdi did look like he had some talent though.
