A motivated Nolen would have elevated the D Line.

It's clear they want to road grade people.

Just get a kick butt RB on day 2 and let's go!

Ok Brian..Im holding you to that..

"There's going to be a commitment to playing physical on both sides of the line of scrimmage."

Glad the whole world knew!! Someone better be fired from Dallas tomorrow for leaking the draft strategy, year in and year out!

Jerry could draft Bart Simpson and sell him to the public

Nolen is intriguing, but if character and work ethic are important to you, he and Booker are complete opposites.

Jerry just loves reminding everyone we have the highest paid player on our team. So we must be great.

This tells me the Cowboys might be eyeing taking Texas DT, Alfred Collins, with their 44th pick if Schottenheimer is serious about "playing physical on both sides of the line of scrimmage."

I was hoping for that when we drafted Beebe to put between Smith and Martin. Of course, Martin was finished at that point. If we want to power between the tackles, we should have the OL horses for it now. Not sure we have the RBs for it yet. Williams is a power runner, but is the OL pick worth another half-yard on his average? If so, I'll take 4.2 per carry. Otherwise, we need a runner to take advantage of this line.

So Dak has time to throw it to CD and ?????????

Maybe that was part of the debate and the reason for the comments No-Schott made ahead of the draft.

Hope the Cowboys trade up from the 5th into the 4th and pick up Dont'e Thornton Jr at WR2.

They seem to be trying awfully hard to convince us that they made the right decision at pick #12.

Successful GMs and coaches could care less what fans think. They wouldn't tell us they made the right choice. They would show us if they hadn't already been successful before.

Here is a question:

What is Jerry and/or Stephen going to do over the next 2-4 seasons as each of these 1st round picks expect to get paid even if they do deserve it.

Either way, it's over in a matter of a few years. You want to keep your successful 1st round picks but when 3 to 4 players eat half the cap or play the same position then value has been wasted.

There has to be a balance. The majority of good O-lines have a few 1st and 2nd round picks, some lower round picks and perhaps even an undrafted player. They have different salary expectations unless they make a Pro Bowl or All-Pro selection.

There is another question:

Who will this emerging dominant unit be run blocking for? If you think that player is coming tomorrow then you can blame yourself for the bitter disappointment that follows.
