Marion Barber has begun to decline. Both our second year HBs have passed him and he is being paid like an every down back.. Do we need a powerful rusher for short yardage and goal line situations? Absolutely! But Barber is not the guy. As of late he has struggled to pick up any kind of substantial yards. He has been bitten by the injury bug often and early since taking over for JuJo. Tashard Choice is becoming annoyed with how few snaps he has recieved and for good reason.
I say we trade barber and get what we can for while we can still get anything and cut our losses. The guy has been great for us but this team has a new level of talent since JuJo left and while Barber may have been the best back on this team at that time that was a long time ago.
My answer for short yardage would be RB Anthony Dixo, this kid is big and nasty and will kill for that yard. would be great on 3 and 1 spots where we have struggled this year. He is projected to be a late 2nd round pick and would be a great pickup if we can grab him late 2nd early 3rd.
My next move isnt much of a problem but more of an annoyence. We have rid ourselves of most of the headcases on this team but Bennett continues to be a problem. I say we trade him for a pick or two or trade Phillips as he may have more value with less upside at this point.
What do we do for a backup TE? Colin Peek Projected 5th rounder and could be the next Jason Witten... The kid is a big target and fast with soft hands OH and a GREAT blocker. We could always use some help blocking... He is a do it all type of TE. His numbers dont scream superstar but he was used alot for pass protection. Great value at early 5 or even a late 4.
With Roy Williams showing that he is not the guy we traded for but rather show resemblence of another stud gone dud who shares his name and Patrick Crayton and Sam Hurd nearing the end of their contracts it may be time to start looking for some counter parts to Mr.Austin. I would love to grab Marcus Easley late 5. That is great value. He was a walk on at Connecticut and quickly emerged as the #1 threat at WR. He had the biggest turn around of ever player on the team in a years time and would be a great adition to the Cowboys. At 6 2 with a 4.39 40 yard dashyou cant get a better steal in the 5th.
Another option at WR is Leonard Hankerson at 6 3 he is a big target for tony! He is a Junior but I believe he is declaring... He would be great in the 6th or 7th round.
Our special teams has been steady but how about someone that can make it SPECIAL!? Trindon Holliday!! He isnt the biggest guy in the world at 5 5 but he runs a 4.20!!! Good field position would equal productivity out of our offense. He will most likely be a Rookie Free Agent but I would take him late in the 7th to be sure we get him.
Left defensive end... Lets be honest Spears has not lived up to the 1st round we used on him. Danny Batten (NO NOT THE GUY FROM THE REPLACEMENTS!) is 6 3 250 Lbs. He is tough nosed and likes to hit. He is worth a look at in the 5th if not he could possibly be there later or even as a rookie FA. Oh he has also played Linebacker... Huge steal in the 5th.
Or James Ruffin at 6 4 264 Lbs he is very athletic. He is projected to be a 5th to 6th rounder.
I am still a bit worried about Hamlin and now with sensabaugh wanting a long term deal... I like Darian Stewart in the 7th or possibly a rookie FA. He is a ball hawk who can make the big hit. He rarely gets burnt and would be a great pickup even if only for specail teams use. I think he is a starter though.
Everyone wants some fresh blood on the Oline right? Well my next pick will not disapoint. How about Casey Bender? At 6 6 295 Lbs he would be a great OG.
Newman is getting up there in age, Who knows what we have with Ball and Scandrick right? Well how about some insurance? Akwasi Owusu-Ansah at 6 1 205 Lbs runs the 40 in 4.38 great value in the 4th round.
And/Or!!!! Van Eskridge in the 6th. He is 6 foot 194 Lbs and runs a 4.50 what lacks in numbers he makes up for with heart...
That brings us back to special teams... Sick of screaming OH FAULK!! or SHAUN MISSEM!!!! Yea me to... How about Leigh Tiffin in the 6th? If nothing else let him compete for the job...
Anyway those are my late faves this year. Let me know what you think or add to the list.
