Just wanna throw this out, I know we all have our favorite players, some love Cason, some hate him, some like Talib, some hate him, same for CJ, Charles, Felix Jones, etc., etc., etc.!
Seems a lot of drafts SHOCK ME, like when we passed on Shaun Rogers I believe for Quincy Carter among other draft shockers when no one knew we'd be going to a 2 TE. set and drafted Fasano in round 2, or drafted Jason Hatcher and Skyler Green in round 3 and 4 when I didn't have any of them on my radar!
So, I know everyone wants certain players, but what would you guys think if we had a draft no one really expects?
We know we need R.B./W.R./C.B. etc., and could make very reasonable assumptions we'll use the top 3 picks on these positions, but what if we don't?
What would everyone think of this draft!
1st: F.S. Kenny Phillips
1st: W.R. Desean Jackson
2nd D.E. Dre' Moore
3rd G. Roy Sheuning
4th R.B. Chad Simpson
5th C.B. Jonathon Whittle
6th Q.B. Eric Ainge
7th C.B. Jake Ikegwounu
PICK #22 It's NOTHING like ANY of us expected the draft to go, but if the top corners are off the board at #22, and Phillips is our best VALUE, I don't have a problem with it, he could replace Roy Williams if he falters yet again, and if he improves, which I doubt, but if he does, we could then not have to pay Hamlin and let him go.
PICK #28 With Jackson, we get a LEGITIMATE speed burner threat we woudl need opposite T.O. and really open up the middle of the field for Witten and completely bolster our return game and don't mind the pick at all, especially if Sweed and Hardy are gone also which could happen.
2nd round: Moore would be a great addition to our D-line and could challenge Spears for the starting spot from camp, he's 6'-4 305 and ran an insane 4.88 for his size and did 31 Bench presses at 225, seems like the perfect bookend to Canty and the perfect replacement for Spears, he could be what spears should have been!
Felix Jones/CJ/Charles/Rice could possibly all be gone, and if that's the case, I don't mind adding another playmaker to our D-line.
3rd Round: G. Roy Schuening, would be great value at this point, and most of the good corners could be gone, and again, this is simply a VALUE PICK as with Phillips in round 1, and adding a top Guard to protect Romo is never a bad thing.
4th Round: R.B. Chad Simpson- It takes till round 4, but when you got a pro-bowl starter at the position, no need to use a high pick on the backup, but you still need a backup and a compliment and this kid is a BURNER home run threat.
5th round: C.B. Jonathon Whittle, we needed more corners and couldn't wait any longer, most wanted one higher, me included, but we got Phillips and we still have Henry and Newman and don't have the FORCE the pick this year and get a good 3rd corner prospect.
6th round: Eric Ainge I think we need to groom a Q.B., if he's still on the board take him, should go higher though.
7th: Since we didnt' take a C.B. till round 5, and need a top corner definately AFTER the 08' season, we take a flier on Ikegwounu who could turn out to be a top corner after he takes off the year and rehabs and we could get a real steal here ala Canty a few years back!
SO, what would you think if the draft fell like this?
Making some assumptions like I said with the top corners off the board in round 1 and the top R.B.'s we all want off the board in round 2, and not really the key impact C>B. available in round 3, COULD HAPPEN, so I ask, if that's the case, would anyone have a problem with this draft?
I personally woud like it, granted we missed out on a great corner and didn't get a shot at the 2nd round prospect RB.'s that were off the board anyway when we picked in round 2, but all in all, I think we came away with some GREAT AVALUE with these picks that will only help us this year and down the road by getting such great value at most picks.
Thoughts?
