The Cowboys Need To Draft A WR
The Cowboys must use one of their 2008 first round NFL Draft picks on a wide receiver.
Terry Glenn missed 15 games this season with a knee injury and Terrell Owens will miss the final regular season game with a high ankle sprain.
Patrick Crayton is a free agent.
Glenn and Owens are both in their mid 30's. It's time to spend a top pick on a wide out.
The Cowboys have done it in the past and been done well. Michael Irvin in 1988 and Alvin Harper in 1991. They have tried to land guys in the second round and it hasn't worked out so well:
Jimmy Smith in 1992. Smith went on to a great career in Jacksonville.
Kevin Williams in 1993. Former Miami Hurricane was more of a special teams returner.
Antonio Bryant in 2002. Great talent, ten cent head. Out of football because of attitude.
It's time to go get another receiver playmaker for Tony Romo and the offense.

Cotton Bowl Thoughts
I came to see the nation's top running back and the wrong one showed up.
Mizzou's Tony Temple set a Cotton Bowl Classic record with 281 yards of rushing and set another Cotton Bowl record with 4 rushing TD's.
Temple is a senior, but could be granted another year of eligibility. That would be a great thing for Mizzou if he can come back and play another year with quarterback Chase Daniel.
I love how Arkansas interim coach Reggie Herring said Temple was "floating on air" and "that wasn't Arkansas football".
The 38-7 beating Mizzou gave the Razorbacks was embarrassing.
Heisman runner up Darren McFadden played a good game. The Mizzou defense stacked the line because Arkansas QB Casey Dick is just horrible. I know he's from Allen, but this kid is not the answer.
McFadden had 21 carries for 105 yards and a the only Hog touchdown. After the game I asked him if this was his last as a Razorback. McFadden said he'd talk it over with his parents first. Yeah, the conversation will go something like this, "I'm done. They are all over me about this Cadillac Escalade so it's time to leave. We have a new coach, I'm done."
I kept my eyes on Felix Jones of the Razorbacks. Jones had over one thousand yards rushing, but more importantly from a Dallas Cowboys view, Jones is a kick returner. They are looking to draft a guy. They have used pick on Skyler Green and Isiah Stanback the past few years and neither guy proved to be the answer.
Julius Jones won't be back, so they may use a draft pick on a running back. Marion Barber neees a backup... or two.
The Cowboys had two scouts at the game.
Jones is a junior, but if he turns pro could be a solid 2nd rounder. The Cowboys would want to see if Jones could return punts. He did not in the Cotton Bowl.

I am NOT Jason Whitlock
After the Cotton Bowl Classic press conferences ended I decide to go take a restroom break.
As a I leave the building some guy who is wearing all black with Missouri logos and a Missouri hat stops me and says, "Do you believe now?"
I look at him and said, "Believe in what?"
Now he's got me by the hand saying, "In the Tigers. You been doubting us all year."
I tell him, "I never did."
The man says, "Yes you did."
Now I'm getting agitated and say, "When?"
The man says, "All the time."
Now I'm not happy because I know I never talk about Missouri football on the air and I respond, "When, just tell when I said something."
The man says again, "All the time."
Now I'm frustrated when I say, "Give me an example. Tell me when I said something."
The man can't think of anything so he says, "All the time. I'll send you an email." Then he tries to lighten up the mood by saying, "You're a Ball State guy right?"
Now I know this guy has gone over the edge and I say to him, "Who do you think I am?"
The crazy Mizzou fans looks at me and shakes my shoulders and before he can say anything I shout out, "I am not Jason Whitlock!"
I start walking to the port o potty and I say, "We don't all look alike. I not that fat."
Jason Whitlock is a columnist and radio talk show host in Kansas City.
He's overweight like me, but doggone it, I'm not that big. Whitlock likes to stir the pot, so this Mizzou zealot wanted to ride him because of their 38-7 Cotton Bowl win. Wrong guy.
