Yeah but I think we are dealing with a window and next year is our year to shine. I like Petitti but I don't want to put all my money in one basket and him get hurt etc. We need insurance policies because next year we make a run for it.

Im confused DBoys? Are you saying get Petitti hurt and put all our money in Petitti's basket or a 1st round OT?

Im a little slow today :p:

Crazy, I just can't see a OT at approximately #20 that has the proven skills to be a 10 year starter... I really don't. They all seem to lack strength and personally I think Petitti given an offseason to conditioning and improving lateral quickness would beat out any OT you bring in at #20.

I have not started evaluating the draft yet since I have not given up totally on my Cowboys just yet.

You could be absolutely correct and I also want the best available talent at our draft position. Jeff Ireland has this mind set from what I have read which is to draft the most talented player available vs drafted strictly for need and regretting it later.

I complete understand and agree with where your coming from though.

I look forward to discussing this issue with you after our season is officially over and have studied the players available........

You don't pay much attention to the sports zone do you? This might make the thread go off topic...
Think Texas man...think Young...
I think if he declares he will be long gone. Top 5 pick.

I'm predicting DJ syndrome. People will look for thing against him when the seasons over. THe release will be completely overblown and he drops. I think we might have a shot if teams ahead of us draft for need. I give it about 10% shot he is there when we pick. I doubt we take him though...unfortunately.

With respect to the OT position, maybe we get lucky with Colombo? It would be nice to hit the jackpot without paying much. I think we'll know more about him once the off-season program starts.

CrazyCowboy sure hopes you are correct and Young is long gone!

I do not want any part of him on Dallas Cowboys team......period

Parcells has virtually said he's a bust. Time to quit holding our breath on him.

Thinking QB with a Day 1 Draft pick I'd want Brady Quinn over any of them.


Just not many QB's coming out that excite me much this year.

Quinn would be one that I would not mind seeing.

Personally I would like to see a big OT drafted (ala Winston) but chances are those guys will be long gone by the time we pick.

I could see a LB, FS or WR falling to us.

I just hope we have a productive offseason with FA's (don't have to be high dollar stars but guys that will be solid) and a good draft.

I haven't seen him play much, will pay close attention to him against OSU, but you have to wonder if he is a product of CHarlie Weis. The texas qb coaches/mack brown aren't exactly qb gurus...

I would not be in opposition of that pick.

I like several of the QBs. I still think Henson is our future QB. Call me stubborn.

Agreed...with the struggles we have had on O-Line...for Columbo not even to get a few snaps is telling IMO.

It's a fair point, but I'll say this, Norm Chow coached QBs are playing well. Sometimes pedigree really matters and if Weis is the link to pedigree so be it.

He couldn't even get in for kick blocking duty and the guy has like 8 career blocks.

Pretty telling...

Stubborn maybe, Hopefully yes, wrong...I am starting to think so.

As far as the other QBs in the draft...don't get me wrong, not saying that there are no other nice ones in the draft...just not many of them excite me like some have in the past.

I thought he did get in for some of those...I must be losing it because I could have sworn he was in some on that area.
