The reason why we didn't give Price more than 1 year

[Galian Beast]

We're drafting a receiver in the first round next year. There won't really be a need for Peerless Price or one of our veterans at this point.

You'll have

#1 Keyshawn Johnson
#2 Terry Glenn
#3 #1 Draft Pick
#4 Patrick Crayton

Where does Peerless Price fit into that? Drop Crayton to your 5th receiver? I don't think so. Not use the rookie? Again... No.

Price is a one year stop gap that might deliver us to huge gains, but a stop gap none the less. Even if Glenn can't stay healthy this year, The first rounder will be our priority next year.

Getting Fujita has put us in prime position to concentrate on offense. The only defense need we still have is getting ourselves a free safety if Keith Davis doesn't deliver, or if we don't trade for one this year (which i think we still will).

Our linebacker corp is for the most part set. Our defensive line is set (I think Thomas Johnson could definitely be our answer at Nose tackle, might have to draft a tackle early, but not too early).

We're pretty much set at corner, for at least the next two years.

We can focus on getting a better offensive line, and improving our receiving corps.

First round - receiver
Second Round - Tackle
Third Round - Receiver, Tackle, Guard, or Defensive Tackle
We Don't have a 4th round draft pick

and the rest is really more bpa than the first day.

I think we go after a guy like Martin Nance in the first round. He is 6.5, about a 4.5 40, 217 lbs.

Most of the top players next year aren't receivers, so even if we say... won the super bowl, we'd probably be in position to trade down for the receiver we wanted.

If price works out with his speed and age you wouldn't need to draft a WR. You could go QB, FS or trade the pick. But lets wait. I think we didn't sign him long term is because the CBA and thats the only reason. IMO

 

[Galian Beast]

We're not drafting a quarterback in the first round so get over it. And I think free safety is unlikely in the second. Price will be turning 29 this year, and will be 30 next year...

Price isn't a number one receiver. We're going to go after a true playmaker young receiver.

The CBA wouldn't prevent us from signing him for 4 or 5 years, let alone 2 or 3.

Man I'm glad you clarified that for me. Its nice to know you have JJ's back in such matters.

And your right the CBA has nothing to do with it.

What makes you think we won't address these needs in FA?

 

[sago1]

There aren't a lot of great WRs coming out next year and, if we do well, they will be gone; will have to settle for 2nd tier and draft a WR in 2nd round. According to GBN, next year is good for OT, but not for OG, good for OLB, not good for QB as there drop off from him but some available in later rounds.

 

[Galian Beast]

Jerry Jones has said it time and time again, you just don't want to listen. The organization considers Drew Henson a first round draft pick, and will treat him as such. You should understand Henson's situation, and understand that young quarterbacks struggle.

We won't be drafting a quarterback next year. And probably not the year after that either. Henson has 3-4 years (from the beginning of his contract) to produce at the NFL level. This isn't Madden where you draft a quarterback and take him to the super bowl that year. It takes time, it's the hardest position in the nfl if not all of sports.

 

[CactusCowboy]

Who are you?

 

[Galian Beast]

What makes you think we won't address these needs in FA?

I think we'll look to keep the salary down, and I think we'll be looking for that future tackle to replace Flozell Adams.

We might address them in free agency, but given the fact that our team is going to be really expensive soon, I think we're going to shy away from free agency in the future.

We have very few holse on our team, we simply need to shore up our team with younger talented backups.

Quarterback - Done, d-hen with Bledsoe as a stop gap.
Running back - Done Julius Jones is already established as our future at RB
Wideout - Like I said I think we'll draft high here, we've already got our stop gaps for the next 2-3 years.
Tight End - already have Witten and Campbell, we're set he for the next decade.

Offensive line - We need replacements for Rivera, Allen, and Adams. Hopefully we have something in Peterman, but in addition to the replacements we still need an answer at right tackle. So RT, LT, G, are definites. I think we'll thus draft at least a tackle early. If not to start at right tackle, at least to be the replacement for Adams in the future. Guard isn't too much of a concern yet though.

Defensive line - We have Canty and Spears, and Ellis as the stop gap. We're set at end. And at tackle we have our stop gaps, and hopefully Johnson can be our answer at tackle. I think we'll probably draft a tackle high at some point, probably two years from now.

Linebacker Corp - Trading for Fujita really has set us up here. Nguyen isn;t too old, but we can at least go with

Ware - Nguyen - Fujita - Burnett

or

Ware - Fujita - James - Burnett

or possibly even

Ware - Nguyen - Burnett - Fujita

Secondary is set other than free safety. We have Anthony Henry for the next 5 years, and we have Newman, and Williams. We'll probably draft a corner high 2-3 years from now, and we'll have to address free safety this year or next year if Davis isn't the answer.

If you look at the very top players who will go into the draft most of them aren't receivers, which means we'll probably be able to get a receiver in the late teens or early twenties. Whether that means trading up isn't necessary is yet to be determined.

Man you just haven't been listening HENSON SUCKS! He will Suck next year and the next so get over it.

 

[Galian Beast]

Just like Romo sucked last year huh? Just like Alex Smith, Jason Campbell, and Aaron Rodgers suck?

Don't be an idiot.

 

[JackMagist]

Actually we have addressed enough needs this offseason that I am not sure what poistion our need will be in next year. We might actually be in a position to simply go BPA in the first round without regards to need.

 

[Tobal]

Future needs?

Number 1 WR

ILB

G or T depending on Tucker/Petitti

DT Glover and Fergie have age Johnson is probably just a rotation guy

I think we've set our self up to truly take BPA

Its not that I disagree with you, but we are pretty good with our cap situation. These same needs could very well be addressed in FA. I don't think were going to make the same splash we did this year, but adding 1 or 2 guys at decent signing bonuses will happen and most likely at those positions. Along with LB.

 

[Galian Beast]

Tobal, Fujita is that ILB

Guard is always going to be a need. We have Peterman, but we need a replacement for both Rivera and Allen.

Tackle is a definite need whether it is to start at right tackle, or just a replacement for Flozell Adams.

What makes you think Thomas Johnson is just a rotation guy?

 

[Galian Beast]

You have to consider the fact that we're going to have to resign a lot of our younger players soon. Our cap situation isn't AS good as it seems.

I definitely think we're set at linebacker. We've got everything we need inside, and burnett and ware should be good enough outside, next year we'll have kalen thornton back too.

 

[JackMagist]

Man you just haven't been listening HENSON SUCKS! He will Suck next year and the next so get over it.

Whoa there Big Fella.

You are really getting worked up on this one and I think you are dead wrong. Henson has shown improvement throughout training camp and will be taking most of the snaps with the scout team so he will get plenty of practice with his new mechanics. He will come into camp next year and give Romo a run for his money and it will be a tight race. The year after that (in '07) when Bledsoe is gone Henson will have a shot at starting and I believe that by then he will be ready. Also, by then Romo will either be gone in FA or have a long term deal and they will battle for the starting job. Either way we won't be drafting a QB until '07 to either:

a) Groom as our starter after giving up on everyone here (unlikely IMO)

b) Groom as our #2 because either Romo or Henson and Bledsoe will be gone.

c) Start grooming as our #3 to play behind Romo and Henson (or Henson and Romo).

But in '06 we will go into camp with Bledsoe, Romo and Henson and they may all be battling for the starting job.

Tobal, Fujita is that ILB

Guard is always going to be a need. We have Peterman, but we need a replacement for both Rivera and Allen.

Tackle is a definite need whether it is to start at right tackle, or just a replacement for Flozell Adams.

What makes you think Thomas Johnson is just a rotation guy?

What makes you think he isn't?

Adams is not old if he's not hurt he's got the LT job for 3 or 4 yrs

If Price plays like he did when he was with Bledsoe with the Bills then Price will have a new contract before the season ends.

I really do not see us taking at WR in the 1st round of the 06 draft when we need much more help on the OL.

Larry Allen is nearing the end. Flozelle Adams is a real question mark.

Do not be surprised to see BP use 2 of our 1st day picks on OL. And maybe even another on the 2nd day to.

I am alot more worried about the OL then WR. I think we take a WR in the 1st in 2007 but not next year.

If a big name FA WR is there I think we do take him.


If Price can play like he used to I would rather get ridda Glenn instead of Price. Price is much younger and could have another 5 to 8 years of good play time in him.
