I do not want #1. 3 to 5 would be fine if we keep losing.
I think 12 to 15 would be almost ideal given our needs.
Until we win some games, Patrick Peterson is my choice.
i want # 1 overall!
Why, either we can take Luck, possible future probowler, Hall of Famer, or if a sweet trade is offered, we can trade down 3 spots or so. And still get an impact player.
Another reason why I want # 1 overall is this:
What if there is no CBA collective bargaining agreeement, which could mean no NFL in 2011.
I dont know how the 2012 draft would be figured out, but if it is based off of won-loss records, we might have back to back # 1 overall pick. If we trade down alittle in 2011, but still get a top player, and get another top player in the 2nd round, possibly 2 top 2nd rounders or 2 top 3rd rounders.
Then, that fills this team with obvious needs. Most of the time, when your picking in top 5 of the draft from 1st round to 4th round, you generally get good players.
Then, if we dont take that first overall pick, but have the first overall pick in 2012 because of no NFL due to no CBA, then we can get what other impact player we need. Even if we trade down again, and pick up another top 2nd or 3rd rounder, we still come out ahead, with top impact players in 2 straight years.
This is partly how the Cowboys were built in mid 70s with Randy White, Ed Jones, Tony Dorsett, with 2nd rounders as follows, which allows you to take some gambles now and then.
74 draft
1. ed jones
3 danny white
75 draft
1. randy white
1. thomas henderson
2. burton lawless, wasnt a great player but filled bill for a couple of yrs
3. bob breunig
4. pat donovan
4. randy hughes, injury prone, but made big plays in 77 superbowl
77 draft
1. tony dorsett
3. tony hill
we traded a boat load of # 2's etc to seattle for dorsett, those picks seattle used didnt work out too well for seattle
Point, im trying to make, with top picks in those years, we made some great picks, because we were picking high, this loaded us up for superbowl runs, with impact star players, for superbowls in 75, 77, 78
Same thing in 90s
89 draft
1. troy aikman
2. daryl johnston
3. mark stepnoski
4. tony tolbert
90 draft
1. emmitt smith
3 jimmy jones, decent player that helped our defen line rotation & pass rush
91 draft
1. russell maryland
1. alvin harper
2. dixon edwards
3. godfrey myles decent player
3.erik williams
92 draft
1. kevin smith
1. robert jones, never did like him
2. jimmy smith, gave up on him too soon
2. darren woodson
3. clayton holmes decent player
So, let me state it again, I want that # 1 overall pick, where we the Dallas Cowboys are calling the shots in the NFL, another thing to remember, since draft will be held covering 3 days, then you have top pick in each round, so the next day, someone may want a player that slipped through, and you may get another sweet deal to trade down a little, but if its a player you want that slipped through, then you take that player, but you have option of either staying where you are, or moving down alittle and getting another 3rd or 4th rounder. YOU can rebuild your team that way quickly, with having top overall draft picks in each round. You may even get a number one pick the following year, , plus some teams top 2nd rounder for trading your overall pick in 2nd round and moving down some if you have that top overall pick.
Your in control of the draft!
So, YES! I want that # 1 overall pick.
