round 1 if we sit still...

#22 will be a CB if one of the guys we dearly love is available

#28 will be a RB because RB's always drop on draft day, and we will find very good value here.

However,

If two or more RB's we like are still on the board (say Stewart and Jones), then

#22 is probably a CB

#28 is a RB

I believe WR will be addressed in round 3 unless Jason Garrett wants to run certain packages of plays and sees one of the rookies that others see as a flawed non-blue chipper and sees that he can be a huge impact in certain situations. Then it could all change.

We all need to remember that just because we see certain players who had better careers in college and better write-ups in draft reports doesn't mean that our team sees them having an impact in the schemes they want to run on defense or the packages they want to put in on offense. We have a very good team...now our coaches are tweeking it. There may be RB's (for one position) that we don't see as good all-around backs to replace MBIII as others, but the team may look at a guy like Stewart and say, "He's not going to bring us anything special given 10-15 touches, but maybe _____ will be huge for us in the packages I want to run to rest MBIII."

The same holds true for players we may view as lower rated by what we've seen on their college teams and in reports, but maybe our coaches love the skills they bring to what we want to do.

I'm really exited about our first day selections this year...we may or may not get some real future stars, but we have an opportunity to add 3 or 4 guys (if we trade down with one) who can really contribute to our success in their rookie years.

I can't wait for Saturday...this is actually more fun for me than wondering if we'll take Merriman or Ware at the top.

Good points, but Jerry's never sat still, so what makes anyone think Jerry's gonna start doing it this year?

I think we are going WR, maybe Hardy, Sweed, or that other guy...

If Stewart is available, we may take him at 22 but I don't think he will be there.

I maintain we keep both picks.............Cason at 22 and Felix at 28...

That would be a shocker if we went through the entire draft without some sort of move.

I say Cason or Stewart or possibly Kenny Phillips or Brandon Albert at #22

I say Felix Jones or Brandon Flowers or possibly Kenny Phillips or Jamall Charles or Ray Rice at #28

I tend to agree with Sarge ---we have reached a point money wise where we need first round talent to plug if for some of the player we may or may not be able to resign. We have also reached a point where lower round player may not make the squad

I'm thinking Jerry shops #28 for a 2nd and a 4th.

So what you're saying is that at pick #22 we get a CB, and at #28 we get a RB, but if there's two RB's we still get a CB at #22 and and a RB at #28?

I'm just trying to grasp the point you're making

Stewart isn't really an option for us, IMO. We already have a between-the-tackles RB in MBIII. We don't need another one. The type we need is in the mold of Jones, Rice or Charles. They have the ability to take it to the corner quickly. My preference would be Jones, with Charles a close second.

not only do I not think we're sitting still, I'm firmly convinced we arnt drafting a CB in round one at either of those slots

not saying we wont take one early, but it wont be in the first rd IMO...I really think there's a better chance that they take Kenny Phillips or maybe even Tyrell Johnson in the first as opposed to a CB

Agreed. I think you can hold Jerry to his quote about WRs in this draft from earlier this week. He's accurate when he claims that impact is minimal for a rookie WR in this draft for 2008.

Any WR would be a 2 year developmental project.

The last time we had two first-rounders, Jerry sat still.

Hardy was on sirius today saying Dallas and Cincy were his 2 best interviews,says he wants to play now and if I heard right said he was told we would go defense first and then take a look at him.
