Gut feeling? How jerry thinks...

[Cowboy_Ace]

I just feel the way jerry talks bout our ol, nd the fact they weren't healthy, I just don't think we're going ol (unless one of the 3 tackles fall) until 3rd at the earliest. I think we'll go after someone in fa like a second tier guy. The donald thomas from pats? I think this draft is either going for flash or he's going to go to try nd get cute with trading back.

Again this isn't what I want, but this is how I feel after many yrs of being a cowboys fan. We all know we need ol nd dl... If it's either I believe it'll be dl. Just my feelings on the matter. Hope I'm wrong nd we end up with stud line.

If you listen to Stephen Jones, they won't be against taking any position. It's about BPA and not need.

I like to believe he's telling the truth.

I think they're saying "bpa" as smokescreen setting up for trade. Like if teams don't believe ull take there guy why would the trade up to get him? I know for fear of teams right behind us. I just think there setting it up. They've pretty much said they like every position lately, jerry isn't concerned with ol, they like our (hurt) safeties, monte seems to like the potential of our dl. Like those are our 3 biggest needs imo, nd there talking them up. I'm probably over thinking this. I'm having draft fever lol

For sure. You can definitely rule out Jerry taking any OLineman in the 1st round, it's not his style unless he absolutely has to (Tyron). Judging their history of 3rd round-7th round OLineman though, it's not good at all.

If the highest player on our board when we pick is a DL then I am not opposed to going that route in theory, but I am not buying into the theory that DL is as high on the needs list as everyone seems to think it is. I think that need is arguably lower than Guard/right tackle, safety, rb and possibly linebacker if we don't have the right guy to play with Lee and Carter. I think that is why we went to a 4-3 so we would not be forced to draft a DL with our first pick.

If we resign Spencer I do not think we will go DL in the first. If we let Spencer go or franchise him it is slightly more likely we go DL in the first than if we don't.

I agree they aren't very good at judging or developing ol guy they draft later. It just got me thinking every mock draft I see a comment bout "what are u thinking?! U didn't go ol in all the first 3 rounds?" Nd I'm not sure we will go ol in any of the first 3, as much as I want to. So I definitely wouldn't call someone stupid for there mock not having one ol early.

If Patterson or Austin are there at 18, it would not surprise me at all if they were the pick. Not what I would do, just sayin.

I've been having the same feeling, or if justin hunter or one of the top 2te are there at our second rd pic... Not saying I would either it's just I'm getting that feeling.

This "flash" thing with Jerry is comical. Last year they jumped up to #6 to take the second best player on their board.
Year prior they took a tackle.
Before that he took Bryant who was a blue chip talent in the twenties.

I think they will take the player who highest on their board, there is no evidence they prefer "flash" guys for the sake of taking one.

I think people get "flash" confused with Jerry falling in love with elite players. Rarely has he fell in love with a player and they busted except for Bobby C. He moved up for Dez, Sean Lee, and Morris Claiborne. All key cornerstone players for this franchise. Don't confuse "flash" with truly getting the best players available in the draft.

I was simply stating that for the purpose of all of us that want ol, nd to the extreme those that go bat crazy that we don't mock ol in every round. I'm sorry y'all misunderstood the point. I never said it was good nor bad, simply stated a feeling I had nd thought "flash" best described what I was feeling. I have loved the, mo, dez, nd lee jumps,.

I appreciate the help buddy , but I'm doin this from my phone so somethings will be shortened...tho if u don't like reading my posts you don't have to friend. I'm here for cowboys comradery not an english or grammar tutelage thanks I'm sure glad u added something beneficial to the topic on hand. I see people take stabs at other posters "nd" fellow cowboys fans all the time, "nd" I just don't see the point. Does it better u to try "nd" make someone feel or look stupid? Or is it in complete fun? Because I promise my grammatical errors on a sports forum has no bearing on my knowledge of this team, football or in general.

Looks like the smokescreen is working. Good job JJ. :laugh2:
