Early offseason wishlist

[Bob Sacamano]

I didn't know Asomugha was an FA either....you guys sure on this?

as sure as the sun rises

 

[Oh_Canada]

as sure as the sun rises

Well than...he would make an interesting option.

he'll probably get franchised

 

[Nexx]

bring in shawn to play nickel and dime corner, id be all for that!

 

[Stash]

that's actually a very, good idea, getting Springs in here would allow us to play more man w/ our corners, at the worst, he would be a competent #3 guy, only issue w/ him is his health, although he stayed relatively healthy this year

I like your thinking

Thanks.

I'd go the route of signing a guy like Springs who wouldn't break the bank like Samuel , Trufant, or Asomugha would.

And I'd make sure to use one of the two #1 draft picks this year on a cornerback for the future.

 

[Bizwah]

I just don't get the Desean Jackson fascination.

This guy is probably the most overrated player on the planet.

Did you see his stats as a WR this year? Do you really think he's worth a first round pick?

McKelvin would be a decent PR.....no need at all for a 160 pound WR.

I'd much rather have a guy like Bowman...

My wishlist....and it's a WISH list.

Flo, Barber, Canty, and Hamlin all resigned.
***If the report above is true, then trade for Detroit WR Roy Williams for a second and later round pick (remember, TO was traded to Philly for a 2nd and 5th).
Draft Picks
1a. Jonathan Stewart
1b. Terrell Thomas

I think Thomas is really going to shoot up the boards.

Yes and yes.

 

[TheSport78]

Say what you want about DeSean Jackson, but the guy is a playmaker. Devin Hester was drafted in the 2nd round. Looking back on it now, would Devin Hester be worth a top 10 pick if you could re-do the draft? YES, because of the impact he has had on so many games. Heck in Hester's rookie year Chicago went to the Super Bowl with REX GROSSMAN. Granted they had a great defense but Hester was also a main reason why they got to the Bowl. I think DeSean could bring a similar feel to Dallas in the receiving game and the punt/kickoff game.

With respect to the WR position, I'd PREFER if we first tried FA and get a vet WR who could step in Day 1.

That said, I would consider further bolstering the position and draft another WR, though not necessarily in Round 1.

I think we could get a very good development WR in Rounds 2-3 as well.

If no WR was available in FA, I'd have to re-think.

But anyway, that's my preference. And IF we aren't going to re-sign Flo, we should easily be able to afford a good vet WR in FA (to replace Glenn).

This makes the most sense to me as well. If TG comes back to form then the hunt is less urgent but we have to start preparing for the future at some point. This is a good year to start but I like your way best. Draft is ok with me though as long as we get a shot at a shut down corner and another good safety.

I'd actually like to raid the Commanders for two specific players:

Shawn Springs and Rock Cartwright

I think Springs will get released in a salary cap move and I think he's still solid. (anything's better than Jacques Reeves!) I think given his family ties to Dallas, he may be open to coming to Dallas - mayeb at a bit of a discount.

And I think Cartwright can be a solid #3 running back and jack-of-all-trades for the Cowboys' special teams units - and he shouldn't be too expensive either.

That's find with me although I'd rather not stop with Cartwright.

 

[tyke1doe]

DeSean Jackson won't be taken in the first round.

 

[Biggems]

Free Agents
LB Ray Lewis (If released, true leadership on defense, and an upgrade over Ayodele)
CB Drayton Florence (Is familiar with Wade's style of defense, and won't be expensive)
QB Josh McCown (Brad Johnson's career is over)

Important Cowboys re-signed
S Ken Hamlin (4 year deal)
Marion Barber (1st and 3rd round tender)
Chris Canty (1st round tender)

1st round draft picks
#22- WR DeSean Jackson
#30- CB Leodis McKelvin

I know we just signed Crayton to a multi-year deal, but Crayton is most effective as the #3 WR. One thing we lacked on offense this year was speed. T.O. is the only guy on offense IMO that can take it to the house on any given play. With TG most likely retiring, Jackson is the logical pick. Jackson could also resolve our huge problem at punt returner that we've had for years now! I'm praying we don't re-sign Jacques Reeves and draft our nickel corner in Leodis McKelvin. If McKelvin doesn't progress as quickly as hoped, we have Drayton Florence from FA to fill the #3 CB spot while McKelvin gets acclimated to the position.

CB's: Newman, Henry, McKelvin, Florence, Ball, Jones

What do you guys think?

I like keeping Hamlin and tendering MB3 and Canty.

[joseephuss]

He could replace spears



DE


he stretches the field which is what we need

Suggs would not make a good DE in the 3-4 scheme. He would get worn down and run over. He weighs 260 lbs.

Dallas needs a receiver that can do more than just stretch the field. Maybe Berrian can do that. I am not sure because he plays in Chicago. It is hard to get a read on what their receivers can do because their QBs are so bad.

 

[ctrous25]

I like those ideas but I think we need another running back to help out mbIII maybe in the 2nd round goodbye julius thanks for some of hte memories. This yrs draft is very deep at running back steve slayton, charles from texas, ray rice, mike hart etc., id love to somehow get mcfadden though. Go Boys!!!!

well there are other good dE's in free agency. I think Berriam would fight in nicely with us.

Great offseason especially the draft.

 

[mmillman]

How so? His most effective year was in 2007, when he played 2nd WR.

Crayton was marginally effective as a number two but did not step up when Owens was hurt or in the playoffs. Crayton is a decent #3 at best.
