Latest Clarence Hill Rumors

[InmanRoshi]

- David DeCastro is an option, but the Cowboys are focusing on defense. Likely targets are the usual defensive mid first round suspects (Barron, Cox, Poe, Brockers, Kirkpatrick, Gilmore)

- Cowboys believe Cox will be gone by #14

- Cowboys wont draft Upshaw at 14.

- Cowboys didn't bring in Brockers or Poe for visits, but they like both players and "know all they need to know" on them according to a team source

Not a lot of new information.

I think Cox goes to Carolina.

Hoping for Barron.

Agreed on all of the above. It's a shame Coples turned out to be such a turd. I was hoping Carolina would take him.

you'd think what they know about poe and brockers is not to ***** draft them. i'm so sick of even hearing poe's name associated with the cowboys. it will be beyond disappointing if we draft him.

 

[DeaconMoss]

If Coples is there at #14 run as fast as you can to the podium and draft him

No way. No motor and no desire. He quit without a paycheck, just think of when he gets one.

We need players who love the game. Coples does not.

Hill didn't list him on the players they're looking at.

If Coples has a draft day free fall, I'm guessing there is a lot of behind the scenes stuff going on besides just an inconsistent motor on game days. Cowboys have a lot of inside scoop between Butch Davis and Brian Baker.

ah no and I can see Coples falling out of the first. Way to many red flags on the guy. PLays when he wants to. A locker room cancer, and bad attitude.

Agreed

If Cox is off the board, I'm really hoping for a trade down to 18-23. Some of those targets will be on the board that long and I love the guys that are on the board at 50-60.

If you gave me the choice of Barron or Gilmore and Vinnie Curry, I'd take the latter. If I hit on either the corner or outside backer, I can buy all but a select few of the safeties in free agency next year. If I hit on both and #45, I'm one of the top teams in the league.

If Coples ends up at 27 and becomes a star for the Patriots I'm going to be really mad. Its life but that doesn't mean I can't throw a baseball at a brick wall.

Agree COMPLETELY!!! I'm going to catch some major flack for this but I'd take Bruce Irvin before Coples.

 

[Gaede]

Not much new, really. Just really hope they don't like Brockers and Poe. I don't see anything out of those two. At least Kirkpatrick has some skins on the wall. Gilmore--I love but I can't see us drafting a 4th CB in the 1st round.

Such a tough spot in the draft. Decastro is probably a trade down target only and Barron is the guy if we can't move the pick and Cox is gone.

 

[theogt]

Signs are pointing to Barron, unless Cox is there.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Looks that way. I have really grown to the idea of wanting us to draft Cox. Guy has a motor like Ratliff.

I can't say I have warmed up to the idea of barron but I have grown to accept it and hope that he really pans out if we take him.

 

[gmoney112]

barron reminds me of brian dawkins and that's perfectly fine with me

 

[basstapp]

I still would love to see a trade down and select whitney mercilus and pick up another 2nd or 3rd round pick. I don't see us selecting a guard in the first round considering the depth in this draft. We just signed two guards and also have two guards in waiting that just need to be developed. I am not against taking a guard in 2nd or 3rd. I don't believe we will take a corner either because of the depth of the draft and that the corner would be sitting behind scandrick. I hope our draft looks something like this.

LB,G/C,DE,CB,S,CB,WR

God yes, use him just like 49'ers used Aldon Smith!!

 

[InmanRoshi]

I'm mentally preparing myself for Dre Kirkpatrick after a trade down.

That's one of the better comparisons I've seen yet.

Ugh. I hope not. I don't like the guy. I've also been bracing for the possibility though.
