QB: Romo; showed a lot of promise but also problems (ball security, taking too many chances). Though one could argue that he had to take chances late considering the disaster our D had become. He has all the necessary tools to get it done, and he certainly has the self confidence. Discipline is the most needed factor- this is where Jason Garrett will really have to concentrate. Romo has got to figure it out that there are times you gamble, and times you just tuck it and run or throw it away. that is something that Favre really has never learned- I hope Romo does. I think he will take his place as a top 10 Qb in the league this yerar.
RB: Jones/Barber. We will see early on if JJ really can return to his rookie form without BP there watching over his shoulder. Barber needs to keep doing what he was doing. this is a very solid combo and should do well.
FB: Polite just does not do it; Hoyte can be a devastating blocker but we need more. Either develope Hoyte or grab Anderson from Tenn. This position needs upgrading.
TE: Witten. Pro Bowl TE. Nuff said. Fasano is good backup or 2nd TE.
WR: Owens/Glenn. As good a one two punch as there is in the NFL. Crayton is a good 3rd WR.
O LINE: Adams, Kosier, Gurode, Davis, Colombo. The Hotel needs to keep playing the way he was late in the season. Kosier was consistent and solid. Gurode the same. Davis SHOULD make a VERY GOOD Guard. Colombo did well- should improve with more time to get stronger; he only has had a total of 26 starts total so still somewhat inexperienced. This line should be solid- not great, but solid.
D LINE: Spears,Canty,Ferguson. Spears needs to step up; we need more from him. Canty as well. this is their third season and they need to show they are the future of this team. Ferguson is VERY solid. We need a real backup NT. Ratlif and Hatcher are young guys with promise. We need more production and more push from our D LINE.
LBS: Ware, Ellis, James, Ayodele. James must do better. Ayodele was very solid. Ware is great. Ellis must come back from the injury. Here is where a shakeup could happen. I think that how Ellis comes back will have a huge impact. Burnett and Carpenter will compete if Ellis cannot. If Ellis does, I can see Carpenter moved inside to battle James. This is the most unsettled part of the team. They should be solid, and may be better then that.
CB: Newman, Henry, Glenn. As good a trio as there is in the NFL. Newman is great at preventing catches, Henry when healthy is very solid, and GLenn is the definition of wiley old veteran. Concerns here are when Glenn will start to lose his speed, and Henry staying healthy.
S: Williams, Hamlin, Watkins. Roy must do better- show more concentration and discipline. When he is on he is a fearsome defender. Hamlin will probably start- if he is fully over his injury he will be almost as good as Woody was. This could be a team strength. Watkins should not be ruled out. Lot of potential.
P: McBriar. Pro Bowl- a real weapon.
K: Automatica- very solid.
KR: Austin or TT- very good.
PR: need someone else other then Newman - do not risk him here!!
FB, backup NT, maybe another O lineman. that is all we really need this year in the draft.
