News: MSN: Jerry Looking to Make Big Splash in Draft

[SSoup]

I'd prefer if we "made a splash" by not trading up and simply picking useful players with as many of our picks as possible.

What a great splash that would make.

If we picked starters in each of the first three rounds, and some nice depth players (who are also good special teamers since we supposedly plan to not suck on special teams anymore?) after that, that'd be just fine. Even if we merely pick nice starters instead of 1 elite one.

I don't want to cost ourselves picks that should give us multiple cheap starters just to improve the quality of our one top pick.

F.Y.I Yard Barker. "Cowboys" had already made the BIG SPLASH by releasing Garrett. Next....

That was one of the smarter moves the Cowboys have made in a long time.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Yeah they should've taken Cox instead...

Even worse was at the post draft press conference Jerry said they would have drafted Brockers in the 1st and Bobby Wagner in the 2nd round had they stayed put.

Jerry needs to come to fully realize that a successful draft doesn't depend on him to "make a big splash." He sees himself as one to put his team over the hump when it's really just the opposite. He just needs to stand aside and allow the scouts to give their advice.

Let's hope he'll see that this year. The biggest splash his team could hope for is for him to stand aside and pay heed to those who know the talent far better than the coaches do.

burrow or tua

 

[Zekeats]

Dak, No.17 in the first round and a 4th round pick....

Yeah I think that 4th rounder seals the deal

 

[morasp]

No where to go but up. Couldn't get much worse than last year.

 

[camelboy]

When I read the title I though he's throwing a big party during the draft .. I bet many did too

 

[Hadenough]

Jerry loves to hear himself talk! Jerry is too chicken to give up 3 #1s and player to go get Burrows. That safety from LSU named Delpit could be there at 17 and Jerry would trade back 3 spots and get a 7th round pick and take an offensive lineman.

Talk about a terrible move. Where was Stephen to stop that move.

They never traded 2 1st round picks for Claiborne.

This is what I mean about being careful what you say. Some yahoo on the first page said they traded 2 1st picks for Claiborne and then another yahoo believes it and perpetuates the lie. On and on it goes.

 

[Diehardblues]

Our last 3 drafts have been pretty much misses. Might as well go for a big splash Jerry.

Show everyone what a great football guy you are. Make a big impact for your new HC.

 

[Bowdown27]

Only way I trade up into top ten if someone falls. And the only way that happens if other teams start grabbing qbs or wideouts early on. Let’s see if some big trades happen for tua burrow etc before the draft like Washington did for rg3 or philly w wentz

That would have been awesome

 

[Doomsday101]

I would not mind moving up a few spots to get Derrick Brown. If he can slide a bit in the 1st rd I would love to see Dallas jump up and get him. I would be shocked to see Dallas move up to the top 5 to get a player

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

They never traded 2 1st round picks for Claiborne.

Regardless if it was for 6 and 7 rounder IT WAS A FAILURE and I know that it was not for 2 first. Thanks again for your INPUT. Albert Einstein.

Just like you SHERLOCK YAHOO.

 

[fifaguy]

They'd be really stupid to trade all the way up to #3/4 to get Okudah. No corner is worth that.

But of course they're going to "explore." Every team in the league in this situation would.

Remember when they traded up for Mo Claiborne

 

[visionary]

Trade up to get Tua
I’m on board
