Two first round picks. What do you do?

[TheKey]

With the 32nd pick in the NFL draft, the Dallas Cowboys select, Steve Slayton, RB, West Virginia.

WR is usually a crap shoot unless you have a stud like Charles Johnson staring you in the face. If we draft a WR this year he'll be competing with Hurd/Austin/Crayton for any playing time. We need a CB, a guy that can replace Henry when he finally wears down. Reeves is a filler and a good 3rd/4th corner, but he's not the long term answer.

Barber needs a compliment, and if you're gonna go RB you might as well invest in Run DMC - make the committment, and give up the picks. He has done it year in and year out with a poor supporting cast, no passing game, and hes done it against the best conference in college football. The Jones' love him, and why invest all that money in a big O-Line just for pass protection. Let's make this team scary good, let's not just draft for depth.

Out of curiosity do you like him better than Felix Jones? I think either are a better value than McFadden.

I don't like it but that's me, too much to give up and too much guaranteed money to someone that's an injury away from being KiJana Carter. Would you do it if it meant you couldn't sign D Ware and Newman next year? That's the real question.

I love it and I know its a long time from now, but I'm afraid Bowman won't be there at 31 and we may have to take Johnson at 31 because I don't think he will be there either at the end of round 2.

I see us drafting between 19-22 in the 1st rd. The top WR(Kelly, Jackson) should be gone by then however I see one of the top corners(Mike Jenkins, Malcolm Jenkins, Antione Cason) still there.

Now the last pick in the 1st rd should be a reciever because of the value still at the RB position. Guys that I think should still be around are Sweed, Bowman, Hardy, Doucett and Manningham.

Now our second rd pick is where we can call Parcells up. Miami has 2 2nd rd picks and you know Parcells wants some of ole boys. Here are my 2 options I would throw at our ole coach:

1) We trade Fasano and Carpenter and some peanuts for for the 1st pick in the 2nd rd or

2)We trade Fasano and our 2nd rd pick for the 1st pick in the 2nd rd


With that pick we take Chris Johnson.

With the money already spent in the defensive backfield, and the raise Hamlin will get. To expect this team to get a CB in the first is ridiculous.

To the guy who wanted a link to the "rumor." Spags wrote an article back after the draft that stated when Jerry and Stephen traded for the Cleveland 1st, Stephen turned to his Dad and said, "That could be the McFadden pick."

JOnes was interviewed a couple of weeks agao on the NFL channel prior to the GB game. When deion Sanders asked what his next move would be, he said he wanted a WOW offensive player.

Not sayin' one equals another. But just sayin'.

There's alot of ridiculous guys out there that predict thats exactly what we are doing. Personally to not address this position is more ridiculous than trading our future for a RB when we have one that is capable of getting us where we need to go.

Newman will be 30 next year, Henry will be 32 next year, Reeves is a FA next year. Please tell me what is so ridiculous about addressing a corner in the 1st? Not to mention that Henry has been hurt every year he has been here. If Cason, Mike Jenkins, Malcolm Jenkins, or Talib are on the board it would be a disaster to not go after one of them.

 

[TwoDeep3]

I understand the age of the players. I also understand the money involved in the Defensive backfield.

I can't help but remember comments by Jones to the affect that he would not overspend for a DB.

I have no insight into what will happen. But I believe Jones has made it clear he is interested in beefing up the offense.

I was gonna say no one will want Fasano, but you make a good point that Parcells loved the guy, and we probably don't need him. That would be amazing if that happened, does Tony Curtis get bumped up then and we draft another TE in the 3rd or 4th?

 

[Woods]

Personally, I think there is a better chance we trade up with our 2nd round pick than with one of our 1st rounders.

If we can move up from the 60s to the mid-40s, we can land a quality RB as well. That way, we'd get a top quality CB, WR, and RB Day 1. We couldn't ask for much more.

Here is my projected draft, assuming we do not trade away any picks and don't trade up/down. The bolded players are the first choice followed by an alternate in the event that the first selection in unavailable. In either event, we would be getting excellent value.

Height: 6-0. Weight: 200

1b. RB Ray Rice*, Rutgers
Height: 5-9. Weight: 205
40 Time: 4.47


2. ILB Jonathan Goff, Vanderbilt
Height: 6-4. Weight: 235
40 Time: 4.63

2. WR Lavelle Hawkins, California
Height: 6-2. Weight: 181
40 Time: 4.43


3. WR Keenan Burton, Kentucky
Height: 6-2. Weight: 195
40 Time: 4.47

3. ILB
Beau Bell, UNLV

I could live with that.
