After the maelstrom of the first day of the draft, let me share with you some thoughts. First of all, I want to clarify that the decision to take Frederick is not bad, just that Dallas must have taken him in the second or third round. What happened last night is that Jerry is and company went into panic, seeing that all players who they wanted were no longer available. Honestly, they should take Floyd at number 18, he would have provided youth and versatility to our defensive line, but hey, Jerry is not worried about the age of our defense. It's too early to know whether the decision was correct, but it does not take a genius to know that things could be done differently. I assure you that if we took Floyd with the 18th pick, we could have selected Frederick, or Schwenke, or Armstead, or Watson with our second round pick. Unfortunatelly, we'll never know. Now what? well, let's hope that Jerry and Co. don't panic again, reaching for players that should be available on later rounds.

History has already proven that Floyd at 18 was a reach. Sorry to debunk your rant so quickly.:mad:

So they panicked by getting their #22 ranked player at #31? They simply like the value of 31+74 more than any player on the board at 18. They want a different type of DT than Floyd so the passed.

Dude, it's not about where they had Frederick ranked. It's about where OTHER teams have him ranked! He would have been there in the second round, there is no doubt about it! So why not get a real first rounder AND Frederick in the second?

We need to look further into this problem. Who rated this guy #22? Scouts,Callahan, Jerry, other. If scouts, fire them. If Callahan, remember he's the one that signed off on Bernie,Livings and Leary, fire him immediately. If Jerry, involuntary commit him to a institution.
