Love From Pro Football Weekly

[Shake_Tiller]

Some of you feeling queasy about the Cowboys draft might get some comfort from these comments offered by Nolan Nawrocki of Pro Football Weekly. Nolan has good NFL contacts, I think, in large part because he succeeded Joel Buchsbaum, and out of respect for Joel, a lot of folks are likely to share information and viewpoints with PFW. For what it's worth, according to Nolan's post-draft analysis...

“Washington QB-WR Isaiah Stanback is very much like Brad Smith (Jets) and Michael Robinson (49ers), both drafted early in the fourth round last year, and he should be able to make an immediate impact as a receiver and possibly be groomed as a quarterback. The Cowboys are positioning themselves to capture the NFC East with the shrewd moves they are making. They have gotten better.”

“Landing Doug Free in the fourth round is a great value for the Cowboys. If he could strengthen up, he could be a solid left tackle for years to come. He is mentally tough and will play through injuries, as he did most of his senior season, and it may have affected teams' evaluations of him more than it should have. The Cowboys seem to be concentrating on getting better in the trenches, and it could make all their skill talent look a little better.”

That is wrong... in order to get l33t we needed CJ and Quinn!!!!11!!1!




I don't know if some people will ever realize what a solid draft we really did have. Spencer alone would have made me happy. He's one heck of a player.

I like what I seen in that post--thanks

......and there you go.

I'd say at least 60% of the *****ing about the offense during last season revolved around the poor pass-blocking/poor run-blocking done by the Offensive Line. We then proceed to pick an OL in both the 3rd & 4th Rounds and guess what? Some people still ***** about our selections. It's un-freaking-believable. Actually, having read this board for a couple of years now, it really isn't. Some posters seem to honestly enjoy being miserable.

we only really needed was to improve the pass-rush, and getting Spencer and moving to a 1-gap 3-4 is going to do that, the only thing we might have missed on was getting a potential #1 receiver, but we have some intriguing prospects in Miles Austin and Isaiah Stanback, 2 hellacious athletes, and Sam Hurd, not to mention we could re-sign Crayton who I like as a #2, at worst a #3

The draft IMO hinges on the 2 OTs, particularly Free. He IMO is the player with the biggest upside at a premium position. If we've found our future LT in Free, the draft is a success - period.

And Marten appears to be a solid RT type, very similar to Columbo. At worst hopefully he's a solid backup.


Spencer appears to be the surest/safest prospect. A solid LB/DE who should get 7-8 sacks/year while also stuffing the run.

Stanbach is a wildcard. Hopefully he makes the 45 man roster on gamedays and the coaches find a way to get the ball in his hands 3-5 times a game to take advantage of his running ability.

Again, Free is the key to the draft.

In terms of immediate impact, Spencer is guy we need to shine. In the longer term, the tackles do mean a lot. As far as this season is concerned, I think Leonard Davis might be the most important addition (if he performs). We'll see.

I totally agree! It seems that a lot of people here just like to spread doom and gloom! I read some of posts here and just laugh. Damned if you do.....Damned if you don't!:bang2:

I'm pretty sure the NFL just increased the size of the game-day roster to 49 players

I thought they did not pass that idea at the owners meeting.If they did it would be awesome but seems like I remember they voted it down.Hope I'm wrong.
