Really. I just do not see it. Our OL is a much bigger problem then anything else on the team.

Larry Allen is near the end. And Flozelle Adams is a real big question mark. Rob Pettiti is gonna have a real good future with Dallas but we need to add to that and have a great OL to.

Not gonna do to much good to draft a QB or WR with a OL that will be no better next year if it stays the same as it is now.


I am thinking that BP is gonna spend our 2 of our 1st day picks on OL and also hit FA for OL.

07 is when I think we draft a WR or maybe a QB. Much more likey a WR at #1 in 07 is my guess.


Key has nuff left in him for 2 more ok years maybe even good. Crayton is coming on and looking solid. I think Price will be very good and have a new contract before the end of the season.

If we do anything at WR after this season it will be adding a big name WR in FA if there is one.


I know the idea of using alota our draft and some FA on OL next year aint exciting but when it gives Bledsoe alot more time to throw and JJ more holes to break through then we will all be glad we went after OL big time.

Old saying. Games are won in the trenches. BP fixed one side of the trench the DL. Now look for him to finish the offense side after this season.

i don't think we'll draft a QB in the first round next year unless the highly unlikely situation of a matt leinart falling in our laps. but i do think there is a good possibility of adding a WR provided the right opportunity comes along. i agree with never having enough offensive lineman and we always seems to draft at least one in every draft. the question is how high we'll draft one.

I would be real happy if we spent some high picks on OL next year and also made a few moves in FA to get some top OL here.

If Price really plays good again then with a improved OL then we are gonna be real good.

I can easily wait till 2007 for usin a 1st on WR cuz there will be more talent in that draft for WR. That is what some people more in the draft are sayin anyways.

Peterman will replace LA. A top OG can be found in any round of the draft.

Franchise QB's are usually found in the top of the first round.

Let's see.....in what round did we draft Petitti this year? I'll quote this as an indicator that OL types can be found in the later rounds.

I'll stick with my prediction that we will draft a WR or QB in the first round in 2006. I believe that we will draft a QB in 2006 even if it is not in the 1st round. I'm not sure if Henson is the guy but I doubt it, and that is simply based upon the failure rate of guys who stay with football all the way, without a tour through MLB (that's a record unblemished by anyone's success).

We have an aging WR Corps (Crayton excepted). KJ has never had great speed and I'm not sure he is going to have a very good year working with Bledsoe, who seems to need his receivers to get some separation (Bledsoe's not Aikman). TG is an excellent receiver but has a problem with injuries. This type of problem typically gets worse as player's age. This isn't a knock on his talent or his desire. It is simply a fact.

A WR with character (a Parcells guy) is most easily acquired through the draft and not FA. Today's NFL requires a balanced attack to be successful against the good teams.

Wolverine, I'll say this. It has long been an axiom for the NFC East that you must run the ball successfully to win. The poor weather in the northeast at the end of the season demands a rushing attack that can move the ball in the wind and rain that is endemic in Washington, Philly, and NY.

If we fail to run the ball successfully this year, you are correct. We will draft OL high. I hope you wrong and we run the ball well this year. If we don't, we will finish at .500 or worse and miss the playoffs. We'll see.

I'll wait and see how our OL does this year first. Dallas typically does not use 1st round picks on OL. However, now that BP is here, he will do that.

For now I'll say they will stick with 2nd round or lower, depending on BPA. Unless we are picking # 25 to 32, then possiby an OL there, but I doubt it. I say a Safety or LB or WR.

the Jarrett kid from USC looks like a bigtime WR talent.
I think next year is actually the best time to draft a QB.
We need to plan on giving him a year or so on the bench. Bledsoe will probably be able to carry the mail until then.
We will definitely draft an OL on the first day next year I believe.
Currently I have our '06 draft needs as:
1) OL, need an OT even if Pettiti becomes a bulwark, an OG might be a day 2 consideration
2) QB, if Henson doesn't turn the corner, we need to load up and go after someone like Leinert. Is there really a price too high to pay for a franchise QB? Our needs won't be dire next year and could possibly be filled via FA anyway. FS's, LBs, and OGs don't cost a lot relatively.
3) WR, we'll need a big and/or FAST guy, a WR that can make big plays. We're getting old and it usually takes 2-3 seasons for a WR to make a splash.
4) FS, if Scott or a FA to be acquired soon doesn't get us some INTs we'll need to find someone.
5) LB, if James has a big year, Fujita plays well, Thorton comes back, Burnett turns it on bigtime, and Dat doesn't get bowled over....this won't be a big need. However, even if all the "ifs" turn out in our favor, a 3-4 defense is ALWAYS on the lookout for LBs.

Get me some 411 on him. Big WR. Hopefully 6'2" or taller.

If we do not spend our 1st rounder on OL next year we will definitely spend it on OL in the 2nd and maybe the 3rd. I am just guessin 2 or our 3 1st day picks go on OL. We need it.

2) QB, if Henson doesn't turn the corner, we need to load up and go after someone like Leinert. Is there really a price too high to pay for a franchise QB?

I agree gettin a Franchise QB is nice but teams have won SBs without them. We could be the next.

As for Leinert I do not know much about him. I have heard people say his arm strength is a question mark and average at best.


3) WR, we'll need a big and/or FAST guy, a WR that can make big plays. We're getting old and it usually takes 2-3 seasons for a WR to make a splash.


Price and Crayton are young. If a good FA WR comes around I think we get him. I still think '07 is when we use as 1st on WR.


FS, if Scott or a FA to be acquired soon doesn't get us some INTs we'll need to find someone.

Agree.

5) LB, if James has a big year, Fujita plays well, Thorton comes back, Burnett turns it on bigtime, and Dat doesn't get bowled over....this won't be a big need. However, even if all the "ifs" turn out in our favor, a 3-4 defense is ALWAYS on the lookout for LBs.


LB is lookin very good for us.

Now from looking at that it shows that Parcells usually gets his OLineman rd 2 or later and will take a Franchise QB and #1 WR if he needs it in rd 1

I think you're going a little overboard here. I don't see why we'd spend 2-3 first day picks on OL, plus sign OL in free agency. We have young guys on the O-Line like Pettiti, Johnson and possibly Peterman..Flozell isn't going anywhere and Rivera is gonna be here for a few years, so it's not like we are in dire need of Line help.

A lot will depend on how Pettiti plays, if he does well we shouldn't need to worry about RT for a long time. The only guy who may need to be replaced is Allen, and I think a lot of that will depend on this season. There are still guys his age dominating on the O-Line (like Willie Roaf and Will Shields), this will be a make or break year for him. Either way, we're going to have to replace him soon, but I'm not so sure it has to be this year.

The Oline is not something you draft in the first round,they will still be their later on no need to waste a first or second round.

We have no chance at a QB so that plan goes out the window

We dont need a running back so that plan goes out the window

We need a potential future WR so I guess we can go and get ourselves one

Wrong, wrong, wrong

We need a WR, no buts about it.

Why don't we wait until then and see what we need. It is far to early now.

Jarret is a very tall WR (6-5) who took over for Mike Williams as a true Frosh and USC never missed a beat. Very good hands, speed, and body control.

http://usctrojans.collegesports.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/jarrett_dwayne00.html

We won't ever have a chance to draft him. That year (his Junior year) will be a great one for WRs though.

Next year is unreal for OT. We may end up drafting one just 'cause that's the way the draft falls where we pick. Also don't think Parcells would turn his nose up to a top NT prospect.

I get the picture Parcells doesn't care that much about the position. When Parcells needs one he'll go the FA route or pick guys late and develop them. I don't see us drafting a WR in the first under Parcells ever.

Disagree a bit on LB. Ware and Burnett are clearly big hits, but the other 1/2 of the group is a long-term question mark. Fowler seems promising, but the rest are backup types, Fujita included. Everyone loves Fujita because nobody has seen him play. That's an area I see us continuing to look at in the 1st rd. We don't have a killer LB crew yet.

We certainly need a quality speed reciever and if one is available at our pick in the first round we should take him. Teams know dallas cant beat them deep and play for the run more often than not. A reciever who is a genuine deep threat makes life easier for Bledsoe and JJ.

As for taking an OL its already been said you can grab quality linesman anywhere in the draft although to be fair there are numerous examples of players at all positions being good no matter where they are picked. Maybe just picking the best available talent no matter what position they play is the safest thing to do but if i was in charge i'd pick for a need and that need is a reciever who can spread the field and make the secondary panic.
