Nice thoughts;
What I would like to happen is this, trade our 18th pick down to 21st to 24th, pick up an extra 2nd or 3rd rounder for trading down. That should give us a # 1, 2, 3, 3. Trade one of those 3's down in 3rd round, and pick up a fourth round pick since we dont have one. Unless you see a really good player in 3rd round that you think will be another Jason Witten or so.
Then either take Manny Lawson or Bobby Carpenter, why would you say that. First, if you noticed, first Parcells cut playing time of Greg Ellis and Glover in December. Our defense suffered, but main culprit was losing Dat and Singleton at linebackers. So, we need another dominant OLB-De or linebacker like Carpenter to replace Dat. If you look at all the draft experts, they say that Dallas will have a nasty defense in 2007, after young guys like Newman, Demarcus Ware, Bradie James, Fujita, Shane, Coleman, Marcus Spears, Ratliff, and Johnson come on. Then, with 2nd pick take an OT, or Wr. With the other # 3 picks take one of the above in 2nd round that we didnt take. Then with other pick take a safety like Manning or Hester, maybe even take a stab at Reggie McNeil QB at Texas A&M. Trust me, this guy is just as good as Quincy Carter was, Reggie has more talent, he has run 4.37 in 40. Plus in bowl game he showed his talent, and throwing the ball. He even beat Todd Dodges team, that coach Parcells tried hire high school coach from Texas as our TE's coach this year I would tell him, ok you can be backup emergency QB, but you will play WR to help out the team. That is his strength, his moves, scrambling ability, and speed. I've seen him since I live in Lufkin, and he helped us win a national state championship. That way it would help us with pure speed on offense, if we dont go after TO.
To me, that was the one thing missing last year on offense, when Dallas had time to throw, pure deep speed. Somone to make the defense not put so many players in the box to stop the run. Another thing to remember is that Terry Glenn is another year older, unless he comes in and works out like he did last year during offseason, he most likely will have another injury year. To me, Dallas needs a dominant WR to play opposite Keyshawn, and put Glenn in the slot.
Plus, if we get Carpenter or Lawson, that pretty well finishes the front seven defese for 7-8 good years, to have a nasty tough defense, kind like Parcells had with the New York Giants with Lawrence Taylor, Carl Banks, ect.
Just a few of my thoughts. Then, if we get Fabini or Mike Williams at OT, Sowell at FB, Corey Chavious or Marcus Robinson at safety, Matt Bryant at kicker or Longwell, maybe that NT from the Baltimore Ravens, whom is a free agent. Then, look out, Su;per Bowl here we come.
