For the 3 MILLIONTH time there was no way we picked a tackle with a pre existing spinal condition; NOT after the mess with Rogers. He was NOT on our board. Keep on beating the very dead horse.
that's bs....we draft who we want to draft...Newman had a "shoulder situation"...people "shied away from him"....we wanted him we drafted him. Look, Fasano is here because Parcells likes TEs and becausee of the Charlie Weiss connection....and the bottom line is we NEEDED a Tackle....he was there for us to draft AND we went the other way. It wold not be so bad if Fasano was a baller...but he is not and NEVER will be. He is not powerful enough to be a great blocker....he is not fast enough to beat the majority of the LBers and S in the NFL...this was just a horrendous pick, along with ALL THE OTHER 2nd round picks that Dallas has drafted in recent memory..do these names ring a bell
Solomon Page
Dwayne Goodrich
Quincy Carter (at least he went to the playoffs, BUT he had a KNOWN drug problem in college)
Tony Dixon
Andre Gurode (who Bill PROBABLY had to CONVINCE to keep around, but he has been decent)
Antonio Bryant
Al Johnson (who had a knee condition when we drafted him..was undersized when we drafted him...yet all I hear Parcells complain about was his lack of size)
Jacob Rogers - who was a walking MASH unit when we drafetd him
Kevin Burnett - who had knee issues throughout college, but did not stop us from drafting him, not as productive as 2nd round LBers that have come before him (Randal Godfrey, Dexter Coakley)
JuJo - I'm ok with this pick, but as long as we keep trying to make him a feature back, our run game will always suffer, ESPECIALLY when you consider we could have drafted Steven Jackson
And Lastly Fasano!!!!!!!!!1
We might as well trade out of the 2nd round every year
