Possible 2007 Starting 22

[bbuck822]

This is more likely. My changes are in bold.

QB - Romo
RB - Jones/Barber
FB - Hoyte (will be gone)
WR - Owens/Hurd
WR - Glenn/Crayton
TE - Witten/Fasano
LT - Adams
LG - Kosier
C - Gurode
RG - Stienbach - FA aquisition from the Bengals***
RT - Columbo

DE - Spears/Hatcher
NT - Ferguson/Ratliff
DE - *Ellis/Canty
OLB - Ware
MLB - James
MLB - Ayodelle
OLB - Carpenter
SS - Williams
FS - Pat Watkins
CB - Terrance Newman
CB - Anthony Henry

*- I believe Phillips will move Ellis back to DE!

I think Ellis is done and needs to be replaced...Antwaan Peak and draftee Anthony Spencer (Shaun Phillips clone) come to mind.

I like Watkins, but will not be disappointed if Reggie Nelson is added. Impact safeties are underrated in this league...take a look at how different the Colts are without Bob Sanders.

Stay the course with Henry. He had some minor injuries and the added pressure will help immensely. Draft someone like Josh Wilson for depth....kid is going to be solid and can help the return game.

OG needs to be upgraded and Steinbach is the guy I would target. The Bengals might be under the cap, but they don't have the $$$ to compete.
Draft a couple of lineman in the later rounds...you can usually find good value at the position there.

I prefer keeping T.O only because there is no one to replace him. If I am JJ, I do draft someone high though. Johnnie Lee Higgins will make plays on Sunday's, you can book it and Dwayne Bowe is a monster but it will take a first rounder for him. Brandon Myles and Jacoby Jones are late round crap shoots I would roll the dice on. If they cut T.O, you better sign one of the few solid WR's out there...Stallworth or Bennett come to mind....Bobby Wade is a decent choice....none will fully replace T.O though.

Inside backer is a need area, but I think Carp could flourish there and replace that stiff James.

A nose tackle to eventually replace Ferguson is imperative. Nothing really available in the draft though...unless Phillips thinks he can work with Soliai and all 335lbs of him.

FA Targets: Steinbach, Peak, Tim Rattay and Deon Grant??
Draft Targets: Nelson, Merriweather Spencer, Abiamiri, Higgins, Wilson, Doug Free, Myles, Darius walker, DeOssie, Dan Mozes. Dustin Fry

Branch will be top 15

Hope he drop to us. No?

 

[Sandyf]

Have to go this way:

QB - Romo
RB - Jones/Barber
FB - Hoyte
WR - Owens
WR - Glenn/Crayton
TE - Witten
LT - Davis - Flo got one year here then gone
LG - Stienbach - FA aquisition from the Bengals***
C - Gurode - should be back but going to cost
RG - Kosier - he can play either and Steinbach better at LG
RT - Adams

DE - Spears/Hatcher
NT - Ferguson
DE - Canty/Ratliff
OLB - Ware
MLB - James - will flouish under Phillips
MLB - Ayodele
OLB - Ellis/Carpetner
SS - Williams
FS - Henry - still a good CB but a much better FS
CB - Terrance Newman
CB - McCauley as a 1st round pick but Jerry could surprise and go after Clements in FA

The three main areas that the Cowboys need to address in the offseason is 1. offfensive line, 2. Secondary especially FS but Henry gave up alot of yards in coverage and although he made a lot of good plays if you watch them many were bad throws by the QBs, 3. WR - although Crayton, Hurd and Miles are young just don't see any of the three being a number one guy, need to draft one either this year or next year. This will probably be Glenn and Owens last year with us, at least one of them will not be back in 2008.

Cap room shouldn't be a problem once Bledsoe is released. We should have around 27 million then.

Hope he drop to us. No?

Only way he does if he REPS 225 2 times and runs a 6.0 40 yard dash...

Even he if does.. Draft him!!! He's a space eater.. Perfect 3-4 Nose. He is a taller Casey Hampton
