He also wanted James Francis, Ray Agnew and Lamar Lathon badly. We ended up with Emmitt Smith thanks to Joe Broadsky. Damn the luck.
I remember that draft well. I also remember thinking we shouldn't take a RB high even though it was a huge need area.
My thinking was that RB's can contribute in their rookie season and we were so far away from being competitive that we should focus on the filling the positions that take more time to develope.
Perhaps the 91 or even 92 draft would be the best time to select that stud RB as a finishing touch.
Just goes to show you have to be flexible because you never know how the draft will play out and what great talent might be staring you in the face.
Here's a more recent example.
From what I understand, the Cowboys did not believe Mike Jenkins would last til their 2nd 1st rd selection.
Not sure what their "plan" was for that 1st rd pk, but it wasn't to select him.
Well he was and they did.
Now having made such a large investment at CB when it already wasn't a top priority, they have another CB in Scandrick sitting their in the 4th rd.
Oh boy we really don't need another CB this high. Oh well he's simply the highest rated player on our board by far.
Well both these guys will probably start for us this year. If we go where we all hope, these two are going to play a big role.
