Beginning 11 a.m. Central Time Dallas Time ..

There is no anger the third day of the draft, it is all Christmas presents ..

Unless you don't trust Will McClay ..

Beer in the reefer .. I wake up at 11 .. Pop one as Norm Hitzges or the boys at 105.3 the Fan are wondering what the heck we get for the 4th pick of that early morning Saturday (4th pick of the 4th round that is) that day - plus another comp pick later in that round ..

Probably more than 6 picks that day as we have traded down some. .. But a good chance that we have a few more picks .. if Jerry trusts Will ..

No 5th rounder. A good chance we will try to trade down somewhere to get a 5th rounder because we're trying to find value everywhere - that is, so we don't spend a 6th round pick on a 5th round talent .. if we can get that 5th rounder cheap in trade that is .. Cowboys are thinking this deep and want to get a 5th round pick that might be on their board a 4th rounder ..

Last year in 7th: Nzeocha and Gibson - Gibson out of the league I think.. UDFAs: not much but Lucky Whitehead.

The trick is to: get tiny guys, sort of like Whitehead:
-A tiny short QB or undervalued Drew Brees like - I think of Vernon Adams, Boykin, The B. Green QB Matt Johnson

My thought: if we draft a QB like Prescott get another one like the above too.

Dear Cowboyszoners: Has there "EVER" been in preseason - competition for the 2nd or 3rd QB? .. not that I can remember .. in memory .. dear lord not Stephen McGee or Dustin Vaughan ..

Note TO Wade Wilson: if a UDFA QB or late round QB sucks like McGee or Vaughan his first preseason games and he can't do anything much - try to get another QB the next year. McGee or Vaughan are "developmental QBs" meaning that they sucked in training camp and in preseason. Cut them and get another QB the next year. Don't hang on for 2-3 years.

Yeah cauz Dunbar has a pretty profound injury from what I've read .. find a late round UDFA little scooter .. and do better finding a UDFA receiver.

Love Will McClay in the early rounds but something in the formula, or else the scouting talent, sucks ..

Will Mcclay and his gang have been very consistent and what they have shown and that is they are the worst drafting team in the later rds by a comfortable margin.Its like they go out of their way to pick guys who have no shot to even be a backup let alone a starter,if Mcclay lays another egg then its time to can him .last 2 years have been horrendous,none of the draftees from rd 3-7 have made any contribution AT ALL.I actually think its partly scouting because you can actually so better by sticking to CBS rankings.

How are we measuring this? Eyeball test? Or just going off our gut feelings?

It's like they (he) is more concerned with appearing smart and innovative than actually drafting guys who will contribute and make the team better.

The bar has been set low by several years of Jerry drafting.


And to think this used to be the most innovative NFL team on draft day..from Tex Schramm bringing computers to scouting, to Jimmy Johnson turning the draft on its head. Now we have Arena guy drafting Arena guys. Sigh.

That's as harsh a post, and accurate a post toward him as I"ve seen on here. He's solid at the top but teams are BUILT in rounds 3-7 and he's whiffed repeatedly frankly. Getcha popcorn ready.

I'm asking for Tyler Higbee, a fullback, and Jakeem Grant on the third day.
