DMN Rick Gosselin 04/23 Draft Chat Wrap...

[DFWJC]

Rick Gosselin: If the Cowboys want Williams, it will probably cost them 22 and 28. 22 straight up won't get it done, nor will 28 straight up. But the two 1s isn't going to happen. I think Jerry Jones learned his lesson from the Joey Galloway trade that two 1s is an expensive price to pay for any wide receiver. Detroit views Williams as a guy who would be the lead receiver of the Cowboys by 2009 or 2010. Terrell Owens isn't getting any younger. Don't look for the Lions to just give him away because the Cowboys want him. And, please, don't talk about including the other Roy Williams and/or Bobby Carpenter in the package. Everyone wants draft picks, not someone else's discards. The Chiefs just traded a Pro Bowl pass rusher for three premium draft picks. Talk picks -- high picks -- if you want to deal.

...

I have agreed with this for awhile now--thinking that Mocks slotting Roy Williams into our #28 or #22 slot will not work. It just seemed like the Lions would want either a top 10 pick or two #1s. Who knows, maybe it can get done for a 1 and a 2? At some point, it gets too expensive...just not sure when that is.

 

[DFWJC]

Wait a minute.

That ain't going to fly around here.

LOL

I think he is the 4th straight analyst that I've heard to say that. They do like is skills I guess.

 

[DFWJC]

I think he's right about getting someone like Roy Williams for two 1st round picks. So with that scenario out the window, why not James Hardy at #28?

could happen

 

[Sarge]

One last time - we are NOT grabbing a WR in the first round - period (unless it is RW and that doesn't look good - (Hos lied to us, and for that I hurt).

 

[DFWJC]

That's gotta hurt.

 

[Stash]

How does anybody pay attention to what this guy says?

LSU players are locks at teh next level?

Tell the Cowboys that!

Where'd Peterman go to school?

How about Skyler Green?

Or 'Mr Average" Marcus Spears?

And when did Cason run a 4.58?!?!?

Not at the combine he didn't.

Maybe Goose hasn't gotten those numbers yet......

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Goose must be in a good mood right now.

The next few days are the only time the whole year he's worth a damn... Then it's back to worthless.

Oh well, two or three out of 365 ain't bad.

The only problem is that listening to his draft talk, he doesn't seem to have much idea about anything draft wise this year.....

The ONLY smart thing he said the whole chat, was that we would not get Roy Williams for just #28.....

 

[Smith22]

So Frank Okam is moving from DT to NG.

Huh.

He looked slow and lethargic at the combine.

Rick Gosselin: Welcome to another NFL chat, draft version. I'm looking forward to discussing the board. I've spent the last two months researching some 500 players, so let's gK, running backs. Darren McFadden is the clear-cut best ball carrier on the board because of his combination of size and speed. Remember, the draft is about measurables. McFadden is 6-1, 211. Charles is 5-11, 200. McFadden is bigger, faster and stronger. There's about a round difference between the two on most NFL draft boards. There's also a fumble concern with Charles. I think the value on the board at 22 will be a running back. Felix Jones is that value because he also is an elite kick returner. If the Cowboys wait on the back until 28, Charles and Chris Johnson could come into play.

McFadden is faster than Charles. In what universe ?

 

[PosterChild]

McFadden is faster than Charles. In what universe ?

Not on the field. And I don't understand why many ppl don't see this...it's crystal clear.

But let us not forget they are both very fast.

 

[funkytown]

Wait a minute.

That ain't going to fly around here.

Exactly.....guess he forgot about Sklyar Green and Stephen Peterman

 

[DFWJC]

McFadden is faster than Charles. In what universe ?

I'm sure he was referring to his 40 time....which is faster than Charles'. I have no idea who is faster in pads--they both run away from people..as does Chris Johnson. Bottom line is they are plenty fast.

 

[DaBoys4Life]

CJ @ 28 book it

 

[dogberry]

Okam to offensive line? Is that the kind of guard Gosselin meant?

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Okam to offensive line? Is that the kind of guard Gosselin meant?

yes, but if his motor is a question mark, idk if he has the mentality to make a successful switch to OG

 

[Teague31]

Rick Gosselin: Glenn Dorsey. He was the most talented player at the college level last season, winning the Lombardi, Outland, Lott and Nagurski awards. No reason to think he can't be as dominant at the next level... LSU players are money in the bank in every draft. Their players achieve at the next level no matter what round they are taken. Randall Gay was undrafted out of LSU and started in a Super Bowl for the Patriots.

skylar green anyone?

 

[AbeBeta]

csword: What do you think of Dennis Dixon as a developmental quarterback?

I personally love Dixon -- of course, where I live, he was on every week, so I automatically think he's great. Just like folks on this board who are in love with Limas Sweed and Frank Okam.
