To Kill A Mock-ing Bird

[DFWJC]

I don't see how he's a better pro prospect than McGee. From the looks of him, McElroy has back-up at best written all over him. There's nothing wrong with developing into a solid back-up, but if I'm going to groom a QB I'd want him to at least have the potential to one day be an NFL starter. Don't know if McGee is that, but he's shown a little potential and probably should have gotten his shot earlier. If I'm going QB in the draft, it'd be a toolsy guy that needs refinement, ala Kaepernick/Locker/Ponder.

I agree with most of this. McElroy's ceiling seems limited. Then again, there were times I could see flashes of Phil Simms in him too.

You kind of hit on the question though: would he be able to take McGee's spot? If not, we would have wasted a pick.

I wouldn't trade away our sixth to move up 3 spots for Peterson.

I would prefer to sit back and grab Tyron Smith and keep our second and third round picks.

btw, these mock draft thread titles are very NY Post.

Drafting Tyrone Smith means Columbo will be starting RT again next season.

Cecil Shorts III, WR, Mount Union

stock has risen bet he is gone by the third

How come no defensive linemen?

I think we'll keep our defensive linemen.

Obviously if Spears goes somewhere else, it changes the draft completely.

I really do not see Spears coming back. He's done as a Cowboy IMO. Love all of the picks except Dowling. Don't trust him to stay healthy. I would replace Dowling with a defensive lineman like Pernell McPhee. Championship!

I understand the concerns with Dowling's senior year, but I think he'll be okay.

I think if there's no way we can draft Patrick Peterson, we'll go Cameron Jordan or Tyron Smith at 9.

It depends on the labor situation and if we're able to find a free agent RT or not, and if Spears is gone or not.

I think Cam Jordan still comes even if we keep Spears, since he'd be worlds better than Olshansky.

Also: Buster Skrine!!!

Taking McElroy just reminds me too much of Jason Garrett's career. He has already made more impact as a Head Coach than he did as a player. And he's only been "Head Coach" for 7 games. I agree with a previous poster, McElroy is not worth a pick if his only purpose is to keep Romo's seat warm.
