Laron Landry or Nelson will probably go to ATL there.. Unless they really decide to pick what they need and thats a 1st wound WR that can catch.
Lelie, Jenkins and White all had their issues last year.

I think if Leon Hall runs a 4.5 he is done. I remember Antrelle Rolle had questions about his speed to and he ran a 4.45 and was picked I think 6 or 8.
Hall could fall to 22 but would you want him? Pats will snag him if he falls.

And if Anthony Spencer is on the board at 24 then Pats will take him or Willis from Ole Miss. NO WAY THEY TAKE Anthony Gonzales with Spencer and Willis on board.

Just an observation...Kiper seems to have had some pretty big misses in the past couple years, like I don't know that he even had Demarcus Ware on his board. It looks like there might be a bunch of DBs available for the Cowboys pick...take the highest grade even if it means moving Henry. Although I think Nelson will be a good NFL player.

Kiper had Demarcus Ware right behind Merriman on his board. I think he had him 11 or 12 on his board in 05. Your right about the DB's. Take the best available one and adjust personnel later if you have too..

I wish Dallas would take Spencer before the pats do..

 

[CrazyCowboy]

Nelson is supposedly a good player at a need position....

 

[Cajuncowboy]

I would rather have Carriker from Nebraska. He is a prototypical 3-4 DE and can get to the QB.

 

[Cochese]

Quinn to 9th? OUCH.


I can only hope ESPN will have the cameras in his face during the wait.

That's probably not a bad place for him. Miami and Quinn could be a very good fit.

 

[burmafrd]

Don't mind him- I keep telling him to get some professional help.

 

[Biggems]

i wish we had the Pats picks....

We could get 2 of the following.....CB Aaron Ross, G/T Justin Blalock, T Tony Ugoh, LB Patrick Willis, FS Michael Griffin, OG Ben Grubbs, OT Levi Brown

Henry moving to FS?

Peter King says to Minny at 7 FWIW.

 

[The Realist]

Not a fan of FS's who had to RS at the JUCO level.

 

[THUMPER]

If we sign a CB in FA and move Henry to FS then I would rather go with WR in the 1st round. If Jarrett is there at #19 then I'd move up to take him.

 

[Crown Royal]

Minny taking another WR, eh? I was told by someone on this forum that Troy Williamson was the next great. LOL @ whoever that was.

God I hate combine-junkies. (Williamson, Ronnie Brown)

I have read his bio and I was not impressed with him as a player.

I don't see that as being a problem. What think is important is what has he done since he has been playing division 1 football.

 

[The Realist]

It's very important and Jeff Ireland has said as much and he basically called at Roy.

"Some teams are more comfortable with guys like that because they have someone on the other side who can get guys lined up and recognize what's going on."

Day 2 of last year's draft he said that.

 

[noletime95]

A lot of players RS at the JUCO level to save a year of eligability.......trust me when I suggest it wasn't because his coach didn't want him on the field....this kid is a stud and I doubt he makes it past pick 10-15.
