SDogo Mock Off Season V 1.0

[SDogo]

I agree. He is a hard runner, a try-hard type player, but not sure he is a NFL caliber RB. The key for a RB is slow to the line, explode through the hole. Murray does it well; Tanner does not wait for the hole to develop - he just explodes at the snap.

My problem with LeMarcus James, is he willing to play ST. The 3rd RB has to play a majority of the coverage teams and given James prolific college resume, and the emergence of Darren Sprowles as small jack-of-all trades type offensive weapon (running game, passing game and returner) - I can't imagine James wanting to run down on ST and tackle anyone.

That is total my guess, I have no insider knowledge.

You bring up a good point, it was TC's downfall. It's certainly something to consider.

In all fairness, he does have the Cowboys signing CB Ladarius Webb from Baltimore, who would most likely start opposite Jenkins, and he is only 26. That would leave Boykin and Scandrick to the slots. Plus Boykin is a very dynamic returner, something that we sorely need. The way I look at it, Boykin >>>> Ball, so its a win.

agree love boykin if we get Webb but i would rather have Brandon Carr from KC even if he cost more $

In all fairness to Boykin's he was asked to do a lot at UGA and never perfected the CB position. What he lacks in technique, he makes up for with quickness and speed. He has all the physical attributes to be a great CB. The key for him, we need a solid secondary coach to coach him up and teach him the fundamentals of the position. The kid is one of the best athletes in the draft. He has great feet, hips and is blazing fast. I like him in the 2nd round. He has a HUGE ceiling.

JPP is an athletic freak, I don't know if there is a player in his caliber at all in this draft but I do believe McClellin is a 10 sacks a year guy who if used right could grow on that number.

The Giants deserve a ton of credit for drafting him. He only played one season at South FL. He only had 6.5 sacks his Jr year and left early. He had the raw talent and the Giants D-Line coach really coached him up. He sat a lot last year and they are reaping the rewards this year. Had we drafted him, the media and fans would have called him a bust last year.

It looks like a no-brainer now, but they took considerable heat drafting that guy.

Overall good job SDogo

not a fan of many of the proposed FA signinigs except Grubbs

if Boykin's ceiling is that high, it might be OK to take him otherwise we will have the 13th pick of the second round which can be used to pick someone like Poe

not a fan of RB in 3rd who will be #3 RB and not play ST

 

[dogberry]

Let James sit on the inactive list for a year. When Jones leaves after 2012, James can be active in '13. The sixth wr can play special teams.

 

[robert70x7]

Love everything Except the fact we keep Arkin over Nagy and that McBrair(sp) is gone.
My personal Opinon i thought Nagy played 2x better than Arkin.

How could you measure that considering Arkin never played once in the regular season? He was non-injured inactive in every single game.

 

[robert70x7]

I like all of the draft picks, it is obvious you put a lot of thought and effort into the players you chose. I love the kid from Northern Illinois, but I don't know if you take him with that early of a pick and I think he could fall into the later rounds.

Webb is going to be pricey, even more so than Carr. He's big and physical and would be my #1 choice for a cornerback, but I don't see Baltimore letting him go.

I consider Sensabaugh more of a SS type, and I don't know how well the guy from Oakland would mesh. We need a ballhawk, and I think one could be had in the draft somewhere. This wouldn't be a problem if we drafted Rahim Moore last year....

Great job.

kevin Kowalski is are starting c and qb position took a huge downgrade hate it

I don't understand the QB statement.

Kitna is not coming back, not the Cowboys choice. He has to be replaced and Harnish has twice as much upside as McGee.

As far as OC, your likely going to have to get used to the idea of Kowalski or Costa.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

I agree with that.

I simply don't see the Cowboys going outside of the present roster to replace both guards and the center. I just don't see it. I can see at most 1 guard being drafted and 1 free agent guard being signed. But that being said, would I be shocked if only 1 guard was brought in from either the draft or as a free agent?

Nope not in the least.

I agree wiith you on the center position . I really want a change , but don't expect one . I wouldn't be surprised if only one guard position is addressed . It may not be addressed with the quality that we expect or want .

 

[Doomsday101]

SDogo, I agree with much of your vision but a few things I don't

Cuts I think Dallas will stay with McGee as the backup for next year.

I also do not see Dallas drafting a James at RB then again I don't see James lasting until the 3rd rd, even if he did I could not see the Cowboys going after him

 

[dboy214]

so right now you don't have albright or lemon making the team?

 

[cobra]

The way I look at it, Boykin >>>> Ball, so its a win.

Hell yeah.

At this point, I'd take Corky from Life Goes On over Alan Ball at CB.



(Personally, I think I prefer the Minnifield over Boykin because of size.)

 

[DFWJC]

Good job, SDogo.

I like most of the moves and the peices seem to fit.
I do think the James pick in the 3rd could be better used at another position, especially because you can find a nice 3rd string RB later if you watn to go that route. But I like the player, so it could be worse.

It looks like you might think a 6th round NT would start for us? Maybe the order was flip-flopped and Brent steps in a dn the new kid backs him up.

 

[JohnsKey19]

Nice overall plan. I still have a very hard time believing Jerry would both sign a big $ FA OG like Grubbs/Nicks AND use a 1st rounder on an OG. My belief is they would love for one of the young guys already on the roster to be a starter at OG next season.

What are your thoughts on Dontari Poe? I think he's one of those guys when it's all said and done will be in play when we pick at 14. Guys with that type of size and athleticism are extremely rare. Not sure if it's fair but im sure we'll hear/read a lot of Ngata comparisons. Barring some type of red flag popping up, i think he'll steadily rise up the draft boards.
