Think again...great draft picks tonight.

[Chuck 54]

Rob Ryan is the defensive coordinator. You can bet Carter was his choice over any remaining 300 lbers at that point. Players do not have to start to greatly improve our defense and offense.

Carter will play ILB...6'2"...250...runs a 4.5 40...I saw him play his junior year and he was incredible...makes tackles from sideline to sideline, and he's very good in pass coverage. Unlikely he'll make the starting unit...that's likely to be James and Lee, hopefully, maybe James and Brooking though. While he's groomed the way Lee was groomed last year, Carter will make an excellent nickel LB, getting James and Brooking off the field in passing situations. That improves our defense now and in the future.

DeMarco Murray is not an elusive runner, but he's a big, strong, powerful runner with incredible speed...6'0"...214...4.34 40. He's a great addition to the RB corps and will be better than Choice in all aspects. He will take over totally on 3rd downs. He's a great pass blocker and blitz pickup guy...he's a great receiver, a poor man's marshall faulk in that area...he can run routes and catch downfield, not just swing passes...with his pass receiving and speed, he'll destroy LBs. He scored 15 TDs last season...ran for over 1200 yards...was first team all Big 12 RB. But get this...he caught 71 passes for almost 600 yards and 5 TDs!!!

MBIII is done...Felix and Choice both suck in pass protection...Murray is another big play guy who, while limited in some respects, vastly improves our offense and passing game. Choice is way over-rated by most fans.

If you're a huge Garrett fan and you've been saying you're happy with the Rob Ryan hire, then you have to put down your draft guides and trust that Ryan chose Carter as his #1 guy on defense at 40 and knows how he wants to use him, and Garrett chose Murray over a backup OG who might have developed into a starter because he's excited about both protecting Romo better on blitzes and giving him a real RB threat in the passing game.

You can't believe in Garrett and Ryan and not give them the benefit of the doubt on these picks in their first draft here.

I really wanted some trades and extra picks...I really wanted Aaron Williams for CB/S, and I was hoping for DT Paea with #40, but I really love these draft picks the more I read about them and think about how they will be used and what they will bring to the team both as rookies and into the future.

REFRESHING post.

One out of two. Carter will be a player. The Murray pick was stupid with glaring needs elsewhere.

With regard to Carter, Garrett just said he is a beast on special teams. Clearly he will be on the field a lot if that is true. Any input you have about that would be appreciated wayne!

RB is a glaring need. They obviously don't like something about Choice. Barber is toast and you can't depend on Felix to stay healthy.

 

[speedkilz88]

Is Carter really 250? I've seen 240

 

[gbrittain]

Marion is done and the coaching staff for whatever reason does not believe in Choice. That means there was one RB on the team that our coaching staff believe in...make that two now.

Good pick.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

The guy is hurt all the time. I don't really love the pick but hey, what ever.

If they are done with Barber and Choice, RB was a fairly needy area.

Hey I dont love the pick either, I would have went OL or DL. But I do think Murray has talent and at the end of the day, you want talented players on your team. He could end up being an important role player for us.

 

[Mrdude108]

Thanks for this post, made me feel quite a bit better about Murray. Great post man!

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

This has the potential to be a GREAT draft class for the Cowboys... I love the first three picks.

 

[ChopBlock]

Injury prone 3rd down back. He's a poor man's Felix Jones. If we want someone to take Barber's place then Murray isn't it. This makes no sense and there were quite a few better prospects on the board in the 3rd.

 

[JustDezIt]

ill take em. they are dallas cowboys.

Thanks, I actually really feel better.

But you can depend on a guy with knee surgeries to stay healthy? Looks like we'll be right back where we started.

thank you for actually making some sense. I too am excited to see how these picks pan out, they may fail eventually but I have to believe that Garrett and Ryan have more information and know what they are doing. there is a reason they are, um, NFL coaches...and we are not.

Good post.

 

[Bullet22]

From what I have heard, they would like for the backup rb to play some special teams...neither Barber or Choice do.....Jones did.....

 

[jblaze2004]

demarco murray reminds me of d-mac with the way he runs and his speed.
Murray has some power and a stiff arm and of course speed.

Exactly. They could of had Da Rel Scott in the sixth and drafted Rackley here. Even Ridley went two picks later.
