So I wanted to see who posters wanted back a few years ago and which players they liked and didnt like. Some of these are pretty comical and are in no way are meant to be taken in any other way but as a way just to look back and laugh.

Kartr: Merriman is bigger and almost as fast as Ware, doesn't take plays off like Spears and hits like Roy Williams and he can play three positions.

Hostile: Taking anyone else when Mike Williams is there. I don't like that.

Rack Bauer: Mike Williams will be AT BEST a late first round pick next year. Mark my words.

Cogan: *Speaking of UDFA, that's where Alan Ball would have been if we hadn't taken him. When you compare a player of Ball's ability to Brandon Siler, there is no comparison.

Smith22- (Worst pick of day 1 2006 Draft) Hester was a reach.

The Duke- Should we trade Deuce McAllister for Tony Romo?
-Rude- A former pro bowler for a backup QB, aint going to happen.
-ajk23az- Yeah id take that trade in a second if it ever happened...thats only a Madden trade, not even there haha

Big dog cowboy- (on the chance WR Chad Jackson being available at pick #18) You know that is NOT going to happen don't you?

If you ever need a good laugh just wander around the old threads, its very entertaining.

Whatever happened to Rack? I haven't seen a post from that guy in ages.

He was delightfully bitter and angry. Even for the OCD sufferers on this board.

The guys that talk in absolutes are always good for a chuckle at some point. The actual draft makes fools of us all.

I liked Mike Williams too. I don't know how he could look so amazing in college and be such a bust in the pros

Rack joined the service, but still posts from time to time...

What a cluster****

http://cowboyszone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=85059





Cowboys trade pick #22, Julius Jones, a 6th rounder and next years 4th round round pick to Packers for pick #16, and #47

Cowboys trade pick #47(GB) and #53 to Raiders for #33 and #65

So Cowboys are left with #16, 33, 53, 65 on day one

They take.....

Alan Branch at 16 Versatile linemen, future starter at nose.

at 33 Javis Moss Pure Pass rusher, can contribute in rotation and start down the road at OLB

#53 Sidney Rice, Huge frame, good hands, excellent red zone threat

65, Antoinio Pittman, slasher type to go with my dads power style

#87 Daymeion Hughes.

4th round, David Irons, CB, probably wont ever start but a solid nickel

5th, Chase Johnson, tackle, 6'8" and around 340, great size, at worst a solid back up

6th Justin Medlock, kicker 70 for 88 in his career, strong on kickoffs

6th, Dallas Baker, WR 6'3", good size, a little raw. 10 td's last year

7th, Dedrick Harrington, ILB, 6'3" 250, 100 tackles last year, he may make them keep him on the team, could contribute on st

7th, Kevin Boss, TE

I remember on another board a few years ago, when Jay Ratliff was picked EVERYBODY on the board started saying, 'training camp fodder' and that he was just a huge waste of a pick. I can't believe how wrong we all are sometimes...

This isn't a draft thread by me, but oh man was I wrong:

"Cowboys should trade Miles Austin for a 6th or 7th round pick
Hear me out on this one. There have been recent ramblings that Jerheme Urban has a very realistic shot at making the 53-man roster. This in my opinion could make Miles Austin very expendable, especially if these two things occur in the preseason:

1. Tyson Thompson is the best kick returner and serves as the 3rd RB. Wade even said that he COULD have two kick returners back there but you could tell he would prefer having one kick returner, then having a great blocker leading the way (Elam maybe?)

2. Jerheme Urban has a solid preseason as a WR and as a punt returner. Having Urban as the primary punt returner and then possibly having Newman return some if we need to obtain field position or get points quickly in a particular game.

Has Miles Austin really shown enough as a WR so far? I really like the kid as a player and I think he has great potential. However, I would definitely prefer having an experienced WR that can make plays as a WR and a punt returner like Urban rather than just a kick returner (who we already have in Thompson) that probably won't contribute much as a WR like Austin. What do you guys think?"

Don't ride yourself too hard, I was pretty down on Austin too. A lot of people were.
