Mike fisher : 7 cowboys news and rumors ...

[Bowdown27]

7 chunks of # Cowboys Intel: 1) Reports of connection w FA OL Eric Winston NOT accurate. Agent-generated misinfo.

7 chunks of # Cowboys Intel: 2) Draft board has wide separation between Cooper/Warmack level and Fluker level.

7 chunks of # Cowboys Intel: 3) Scouts sold on Vaccaro as 18th-pick-worthy; Wed. workout will help RedBall decide if he agrees.

7 chunks of # Cowboys Intel: 4) Why'd Garrett skip Bama Pro Day? Nick Saban connection gives him filing cabinet full of inside info

7 chunks of # Cowboys Intel: 5) there is no reason to take seriously any # JerryJibberish re Felix Jones being valued here.

7 chunks of # Cowboys Intel: 6) SJones (pointman in negotions) busy enuf w Romo to have not gotten to ASpencer yet this week. Maybe today.

7 chunks of # Cowboys Intel: 7) Moment after Romo done/room created, calls will be placed to vet DBs Ronde & Huff (if still available)

 

[Gaede]

Finally some juicy tidbits of info.

7 for 7

This tells me Vaccaro is a smokescreen, or a contingency plan incase the best OL/DL are off the board.

 

[CashMan]

Even if they get a Romo deal done, I think they are still over the cap, next year.

I'd think its more that having a vet like Huff/Ronde signed is the insurance policy in case the board leads them in other directions than a safety in the draft.

Maybe, but having Huff/Barber, Matt Johnson and Barry Church is good enough for me. Drafting Vaccaro would essentially be giving up on Matt Johnson, no?

 

[DFWJC]

Sounds like

Cooper
Warmack
.
.
Vaccaro
.
.
Fluker or other via trade down

 

[ferrispata]

Is there a DT that could slip to 18? Warmack/Cooper/Vaccaro and potential DT would be the choices I would expect. Can't wait to see what they would value more, the Warmack/Cooper or Vaccaro if they are there at 18 (and I am sure they all will not be, maybe none).

That was my thinking.

 

[RS12]

1) Winston would be a huge upgrade over Free

2) We knew this already

3) Not sold on Vaccaro as a difference maker, doesnt create turnovers

4) Meaningless, Red going to any pro doesnt mean much

5) Jerry loving the sound of his own voice

6) meh

7) Huff does nothing for me, Barber as teacher of the system for a year maybe

Matt Johnson was a massive reach and is a long shot at best to ever play a meaningful down in the NFL, He's AOA part 2

You don't pass on someone like Vaccaro because you have Matt Johnson

 

[DBOY3141]

Barber would be a great addition. Pro's pro, knows the defense and would be tremendous to Johnson/Church.

I think #1 target is Cooper.

Agreed.

Plus, its not like you can't get three different safeties some playing time. I don't think its unreasonable to see packages where Church plays nickel LB and Johnson and Vaccaro are the deep safeties.

agreed

this draft is deep at OL, DL, safety

our needs are OL, DL, safety

we better come away with real contributors in all those 3 areas from this draft

there are good safeties that will be available in rounds 1-3 in this draft

I don't think so Ren.

We'll see though.

As for Vaccaro, he's not nearly my top choice at 18 (line please!) but I wouldn't whine about it if we took him.

 

[Risen Star]

I may literally lose my mind if we do nothing noteworthy along the OL and spend another 1st round pick in the secondary.

I'm sick of their long shot projects in the fourth round like AOA, Arkin and Johnson. It's a waste of valuable resources. You can have guys like that in the sixth and seventh rounds or UDFA.
