Ahhh....my two favorite college LB's, Maualuga and Laurinaitis. Too bad we'll be staring a WR need dead in the eye....

 

[CrazyCowboy]

Does this mean we lose to N.E. in the SB?

I do not like it!

 

[BigWillie]

Taylor Mays would make my day.

Kid is an incredible athlete who will likely skyrocket on draft boards once he performs at the combine. Plays safety, but has the size of an OLB. But the thing is, he is a track star. Kid has been timed in the 4.3 range legitimately and some say (I want to see this before I believe it) that he runs in the 4.2's.

Like his teammates Maualuga and Cushing, he is just a scary blend of size and speed.

 

[Jimz31]

Geez....I'm just getting ready for THIS season.

 

[CowboysNumeroUno]

I'm definitely seeing WR and S as our biggest needs next year

 

[TonyS]

Who the heck would post a draft projection with Dallas in the 31 spot?

 

[Q_the_man]

I would really Love Crabtree next year, I mean really love to grab him, unfortunately he was a true fresh, meaning he will not be available until 2010 draft..... oh well I can see a trade down next year for extra first in 2010 and shoot the dice once more to land a top 5 pick......

i know i wouldn't because i suck at that sort of thing. i'd much rather wait & see what happens.

Pretty sure he was red-shirted his freshman year so he would be eligible after next season. A local kid too, I'm sure there would be no other team he'd rather play for.

Do believe you are wrong, but i'm sure you will get 20 posts telling you so

 

[reddyuta]

I love Crabtree but if you think he is going to be no 1 overall pick than your are nuts.Most of the teams would be scared that he played in the Tech "system".Also he was a QB in HS-lets give him this year and see how he does.I think he will be a late 1st rd pick.

 

[reddyuta]

He is coming out next year.

your wrong he was a red shirt freshman so he would be able to go into the draft next year.
