I have to say that the last few years I was not too excited about the draft early on and as it got close I got a little more excited but not like I had in previous years.
This year however I have really gotten back to my old form about being excited about the draft from both a distance away from it and now as it nears prospective.
Really think that if we, or should I say the Cowboys, play the cards right, this team can come out of this draft with some really good players that can really help get this team over it's .500 slump.
I think, or hope, that this draft lines up with what is also need areas for us and hopefully we can get a BPA that also fits a need in our first few picks.
I hope we can come away with a good Olinemen (OG/OC), a DT, S, RB and WR or other positions that happen to fall to us.
There are certain players that I hope fall to us (say warmack,cooper or richardson) fall to us in the first but also have other players that I would be ok with if those three do not (Austin or Vaccaro).
There are other players I hope fall to us in the other rounds as well.
Just been more hopeful and excited about this draft than I have been in a few years.
Now I have to also even that out and hope that even if we do not get the players I personally want...I hope that we get good players that will contribute to this team.
What I hope does NOT happen is that this front office gets caught with little to no good players in their slots and can not trade down.
Or
That this team gets too trade happy and cute and it winds up biting us in the backside (think Special Teams trade down draft).
Or that we start overrating too many players by drafting for need only (think QC/Dixon Draft or the Three Gloves draft).
I think we need a good draft or we are going to be hurting more for years. Some of these past drafts have hurt us enough and we don't need to screw it up.
Ok...got that off my chest.
