I have a feeling they’ll try to move up and won’t succeed. If they do a major move up it will probably be for a need. If they do a minor move up, it would be to snag a falling Dez Bryant. But in the end I see us waiting for four hours for the Cowboys to pick and then having them move out of the 1st round and we all have to wait until tomorrow.
How far does Bryant have to fall? Where is the line?
19-22 range. If the Patriots are at 22 and they don’t see anyone they love there they could move back. If they make the big move up, you heard San Francisco at 14 yesterday which I can’t confirm or Parcells at 12 … I do know they like Earl Thomas, but I don’t see Jerry giving up 3 high picks to move up.
People want to get someone to help the offense, but if you had a safety who could create turnovers you help the offense by getting them better field position. The defense looks good on paper, but they don’t get turnovers. That’s one of the reason the offense finishes 3rd in total offensive yards but no the points … they have to move the ball 80 yards on every drive to score. The problem is #27 is a never-never land for left tackles and safeties. There isn’t a left tackle there they like more than Doug Free. Maybe Taylor Mays is better than Alan Ball, but most of the safeties they like are considered 2nd rounders.
If they are sitting there at 27 without a Offensive Lienman . Could they take the best player available, stash him, and just see what happens?
That’s what I argued they should do in the paper today. Jerry makes a good point that sometimes players are graded so closely that you can still take the biggest need. But if you’re not taking the best player in the draft you end up with a roster full of non-best players. You could take a Odrick and people will say “Why do you need a DL”? Because next year you got 3 guys playing out their tenders and you’re not going to resign them all. So I don’t think the Cowboys should be too cute here, and don’t reach for a Shante Carver just because you convince yourself you have to have a defensive end. They took Scandrick when they were stacked at CB because he was the best player and he was a huge pick. They have huge questions at inside linebacker Brooking and Bradie are old, Bobby Carpenter and they don’t know what they got in Jason Williams. So they could look at a Weatherspoon there if he’s the best player available.
Is QB the only position to stay away from, because it would create a mess in the media? Everyone would start speculating about what kind of signal it is to Romo?
In 2007 I said they shoulda took Quinn, and if he doesn’t work out you can trade him like Steve Walsh. But they made a wise move trading for a future #1. But I think they are hoping a QB falls to them and move into the late 2nd and hopefully.
Predictions:
Archer: My guess is Jared Odrick and Tyson Alualu if they stay at 27.
Musers: If they can pull off Dez Bryant, that’s what I’m hoping for. It would be a coup to get that kind of talent with this pick. He wouldn’t have to come in and be asked to catch 80 passes next year as a rookie. We wouldn’t have to talk about Roy Williams anymore. But I predict some sort of best offensive lineman on the board.
