Even if we don't trade for dMAC, I'd like to use at least 1 of those 1st for something special, via trade or something, since we are in a position of luxury right now.
But you can't just think RIGHT NOW!
We are gonna NEED to replace Henry next year, so we're gonna need a top C.B., and you don't want a rookie STARTING next year do ya?
so that's why you draft one THIS YEAR, he can play some and learn and adjust and then enxt year take over, same for W.R., W.R.'s take at LEAST one year most times 2 years to adjust to the NFL and most don't BREAKOUT till year 3 as most FF players know, so you need to draft one NOW so that in 2 years when T.O. is probably gone, we have someone to step in and not skip a beat, the last thing you want to do is wait till your problems are in front of you, you draft now so in the future you don't have to panic and draft someone and force them to start as a rookie, you need to plan in adavance, the good thing about going C.B. then W.R. in round 1 is that both will contribute as rookies and can be brought along at whatever pace they are learning, the W.R. can play on 3 W.R. sets and passing downs, and the C.B. can play on passing downs as well when Newman goes to the slot when opponents go 3 W.R. sets also, so you get the best of both worlds, you get your FUTURE #1 W.R. and C.B.'s while both will provide much needed depth and both will get substantial playing time this year also at positions that we need more depth at anyway.
The LAST THING you want to do is traqde our picks away and get a guy like McFadden which will cost us cap wise and also give us future problems not only with the cap but with not having top notch players to take over at C.B. and W.R.'s in the future as well, so don't look at it like we have the LUXURY, look at it like this draft can set us up for some time for the enxt 7 years whole Romo is here and can keep this thing rolling along by adding top players at key positions of need compared to getting McFadden who would add to an already strong position already, I'd rather use my picks on players at positions of present AND Future needs then add a guy where we already have a pro bowler starting.
well said
