I Like This Draft, Because...

[irvin88]

We have improved our special teams 100%. No longer will we have a kicker who kicks it to the 10-15 yard line. We drafted guys who can play immediately on special teams, w/ potential to start in a year or 2.

It also spells the end to Greg Ellis, forces Spencer to get his head outta his %%%, and guys like Pat Watkins are long gone.

 

[Hypnotoad]

We also get guys who are team captains, love to play football, and push themselves to their best. Not quitters who will just throw in the towel vs the Rams because Romo isn't there.

I agree with ya but get ready for a wine fest.

 

[Achozen]

I hope Watkins sticks around. He decent IMO. He was just hurt last season.

Courtney Brown has to go. That guy is horrible.

not from me. not a sexy draft no. we've got a refugee camp of LB's now as well but who was gonna start on this team? the kicker is a bit odd since we've got 3 qb's now, but hey, always a show with the cowboys.

In that case, Merlot please.

[SharutoX]

I want a wr.

A wine fest or a whine fest? The former would make some of these guys quite happy.

Seriously, I'm only disappointed that we didn't trade up on day one. When you look at the picks, we addressed several areas of need. Jerry said we wouldn't go WR, so no one should be surprised.

I think the Cowboys looked at this draft and thought that it sucked so bad that it was a once in a lifetime draft to just go out and try to improve your special teams.

If McGee pans out than this was an excellent draft regardless if every other pick sucks.

As funny as it sounds, I like the fact that I hated this draft. I was really steamed at last years draft. And I was so totally wrong. Last year was great. So maybe I am a reverse barometer!

The problem is that Watkins gets hurt every season,,, heck, he gets hurt every game! I think the guy would progress into a decent player but his body just isn't built for NFL punishment.,,, and pencil in Stanback as having the same problem.

I'm praying this isn't true of Miles Austin as well ray:

the former would probably result in the latter actually

You are an honest man. I think a lot of people are going to conclude this was a very good draft by the time the season starts.

 

[PullMyFinger]

Because when the new Kicker doesnt come out for practice, then Decamillis can do his best Ben Stein imitation "Buehler, Buehler?"

Watching this board meltdown.

 

[ctalker]

I like this draft... It's not sexy but solid IMO. I think a couple of guys could surprise.

 

[Eldorado]

I'll have an 89 Pouilly-Fumé, please.

Oh no, you guys get must be ready for a speleling and grammur festivol.

I actually do like this draft.

It is not a spectacular draft for us. It is not earth-shaking.

But I think this draft crops was garbage to being with. And I'm glad we gave up our #1 for Roy Willaims.

Of course, not having a #1 limited our ability to get a big name. And unfortunately guys who we liked were gone before we got to our first pick.

But starting from those that set of circumstances, I like what we did. Sure I could nitpick it some, but we got things that were areas of need.

4th CB? Check. Mickens and Smith. Hopefully Ball is now gone. I like a CB corps of Newmans, Jenkins, Scandrick, Mickens and Smith.

Safety? Check. Hamlin and Sensabaugh project to our starters, and we got nice backups with Hamlin as a FS and Hodge as a SS (who adds a lot for special teams.

LB depth? Check. We increased our team speed at LB with Jason Williams and Butler (who also both will contribute immensely on special teams).

DE depth? Check. Brandon Williams will rotate in and be a good pass rusher.

4/5th WR? Check. I think Manuel Johnson can contribute and eventally move up.

3rd TE? Check.

3rd QB? Check.

Special teams help? Check. Got KO specialist, and three special teams demons (Hodge, Williams, and Butler).



The only questions I see on this team is backup NT, and whether we want to bring someone in to push Austin for the 2nd WR position.

Other than that, this is a damn full roster.
