I've decided! I want to keep our picks, to get Garrett his future players!

[Muhast]

I agree, but Kelly is going to go quick. Most likely at 11 to Buffalo unless the Pats*aren't able to retain Moss. They may go after Kelly with the 7th pick. Though they have needs at CB, safety (if Harrison retires), and LB.

doubt they go for a safety, just got Merriweather last year. I def see CB/LB high on there list.

Roy Williams has exactly one season out of four that he actually played all sixteen games. He also only has one season with over 900+ yards. That should wave a red flag at you.

As for Sweed. He is big and strong. He has never had a prolific passing QB like Romo throwing to him. He has pretty good concentration and I think TO and Ray Sherman could do a lot for Sweed. It would give Dallas a possession receiver. If the well-hyped Stanback becomes a speedy threat, that would be a great combination for the future.

I like how you ended your post with "that would be a great combination for the future". That's exactly my point. I'm not necessarily arguind we draft Sweed. I merely broughht him up as a rebuttal to somwone who wants Roy Williams. Williams is an underachiever. Period. I'd rahther take my chances in the draft, with Sweed or any worthy WR at #22.

I could see Sweed not even going in the first round. Almost every mock has Jackson, Kelly, Doucet above him.

Personally, I think an NFL team would be nuts to spend a first rounder on Jackson. If you spend a first rounder on a WR, it has to at least be a possibility of being a #1 receiver for your team. Small fast receivers aren't #1 receivers. Look at Santana Moss. I think Sweed is definitely a more viable first rounder than Jackson.

Not if he does not start covering someone and tackling a little better.......:bang2:

Nice post!

 

[Nexx]

sweed will be a very average receiver in the NFL. at best, if the earth, moon, sun all align for him, he might be another chris chambers.

yea but Jackson will run well at the combine and look at past years drafts. Lots of small fast wr's have went in the first in recent years.

Ginn, Holmes, Sin. Moss, Gonzalez to name a few

You are crackers.
You just saw the best Offense ever get beat in a Superbowl by a team that
was able to mix up coverage and generate pressure.
I'm all for Roy Williams coming on board for #28 but come on. No Defense?
Don't be provoking me into spending more time on this thread

The problem with that "best offense ever" is that they didn't have a running game (and it finally caught up with them).

Here is something worth remembering:

In their past two playoff losses, the Dallas offense couldn't take advantage of injury depleted defensive secondaries to put up enough points. Meanwhile, the Dallas defense twice held the opposition to 21 points.

For all of the bellyaching about defense, if the Dallas offense is only slightly more productive, the Cowboys win both of those playoff games.

Jerry, if you are paying attention to your own team's recent history, you'll load-up on offense.

 

[BourbonBalz]

I have to agree. While our defense hasn't exactly been great the past two seasons, it has definitely been more than good enough to win in the playoffs. It's our offense that has let us down the past two years in the playoffs. We simply haven't scored enough points. We HAVE to come away with a very talented receiver and a speedy RB in the draft. That having been said, I still want to spend # 22 on the best CB available. From then on, draft nothing but offense.

The Cowboys might already have some good offinsive young linemen...I agree they need to use this draft for offense!

How long has it been since the Cowboys drafted strong on the offense?

The Boyz got the QB they need...get him a tool box and make him clock in!

 

[Cbz40]

Get him some DB help, another pass rusher ( one that will cause mucho havoc), and another play making WR and we should be in good shape.

 

[speedkilz88]

Chances are that Sweed will be even less productive than Roy Williams. Thats the problem with taking a wr in the first. Its a crap shoot and you really dont even know if they can contribute in year one and this team needs a #2 this year.

 

[TheCount]

Using first rounders on WR's is very dicey...

I don't know why people keep saying this.

Using 1st round picks on ANY position, is pretty dicey. The only difference is that a good unit can mask the inadequacies of most other individual players (at least for a while), which still doesn't mean you got a good player at all.

There have been plenty of WR's taken in the first that went on to success, and plenty that were busts. Just like any other position.

How many 1st round QB busts are there, but no one ever says it's dicey to take a QB in the first round.

As long as a team is making an informed decision, that's the best you can hope for. Take the players you think will work best on your team, that's it. You don't wait till the 3rd to take a LB if you could have gotten a well regarded guy in the 1st just because you fear what COULD happen.

It's not like we've got a top 5 pick and will be paying a boat load.

Here's what I'm talking about....We can potentially have Limas Sweed at #22. Check out this bio:

Limas Sweed, WR, Texas
6'4" 220 ibs., 4.5 40

What is it with Texas and these king sized receivers? The big Sweed is a Texas native and he is aclone of the Detroit Lions’ Roy Williams, who also played at Texas; he just isn’t as bow legged and has proven to be more durable, in college anyway. Sweed is a talented 5th year receiver that is a solid contender for the 2007 Biletnikoff Award. Did I mention Sweed is durable? He has 33 consecutive starts going into the 2007 season. Sweed made a good choice to return to Texas for his senior year, where with another strong performance, Sweed could emerge as a top 15 pick in the 2008 NFL Draft.

Last year in 2006 he started all 13 games and was a first-team All-Big 12 award winner. He recorded a team leading 43 catches for 801 yards and 12 TDs and scored on a touchdown pass in 10 out of his 13 games. Speaking of Roy Williams, he (Sweed) broke Williams' school record by catching a touchdown pass in seven consecutive games. Sweed steps up in big games; he made three huge receptions for 70 yards and a touchdown in the Alamo Bowl win against Iowa.

Sorry, but if a guy like Sweed is there at 22 you can't look past it. He's already better than Roy Williams who disappears in big games in the NFL and has work-ethic problems. Like I said, thr pluses of drafting Garret's guys far outweight the minuses that guys like Roy Williams bring to the party. JMHO

Sweed at 28 is good, he's this year Bowe...

 

[zeromaster]

No to lima beans and their derivatives.

 

[silverbear]

Dude, Limas Sweed is not better than Roy Williams.

And he never will be... but he is quite capable of giving some team 75 catches and 1200 yards in a season... if he finds himself in the right situation...

 

[silverbear]

Malcolm Kelly over limus sweed all day! Thanks

Yeah, I like Kelly a little better than I like Sweed... if both were still on the board, I believe I'd go with Malcolm, but it would be a close call, because I believe that Limas Sweed will be better in the NFL than he was in college...

 

[silverbear]

Sweed needs to do well at the combine.

I think I read he was gonna skip the combine after reinjuring his wrist at the Senior Bowl practices, Fuzz...

Heck at this rate hes going to find himself drafted in the third. i dont know what it iabout UT players but so many of them just dont seem to play inspired football.
