What WR do the cowboys want?

[Bob Sacamano]

Cowboys have also had their eyes on Juaquin Iglesias and Mohammed Massaquoi

 

[RS12]

They want Nix or Britt. The intelligent play is Roscoe Parish for a 5th.

LOL it's Nicks. And I agree..Roscoe is better than any of the Knox's of the world.

 

[silverbear]

Heywood-Bey, Robiskie and Nicks will be gone by 51. I'm not to warm to the idea of trading up for a WR. IMO we have bigger needs on this team.

I think you might be wrong about that, pal...

There are 4 WRs likely to go in the first round, or the early second at the latest-- Crabtree, Maclin, Harvin and Heyward-Bey... on the seecond tier are three other receivers-- Nicks, Robiskie and Kenny Britt... my thinking is that I don't recall the last time 7 wide receivers went in the first 50 picks, thus rendering it likely that least one, and possibly two of the second tier of wideouts will still be on the board...

Mind you, I'm not saying it's impossible that they'll all be gone by then, just that it's unlikely... and even if that proves to be the case, Juaquin Iglesias is the top prospect on the third tier of wideouts, and might be worth a pick then...

Similarly, a top center might slide to the Boys at 51... there are three of them-- Alex Mack, Max Unger and Eric Wood-- who carry high grades, but you don't often see three centers claimed in the first 50 picks... generally speaking, centers don't go very high... so one of them might slide to the Boys, too...

I agree. 100%

If Brian Robiskie is the ultimate, why are the Jets trying to steal Miles Austin?

Hmm.. Could it be that drafting WRs is a crapshoot and very risky, and they like Austin better?

Trading Austin for Ribiskie would be a big mistake, imo.

Heyward-Bey might fall to round 2 unless the Raiders or Colts take him. If he does, he probably will not make it to 51.

that would be banging if Mack slid to 51, he could play OG in a pinch too

but I read on here where a scout thinks a run on WRs may take place in the 2nd round, something to watch out for

 

[TellerMorrow34]

I would imagine Robiskie is better than Miles right now.

I'd take Robiskie in a second. The kid is a darn good route runner, great hands, and I think he'll be a darn fine pro.

 

[Clove]

Why would we be looking for another receiver, we have Roy Williams and Witten, that's all we need.

I've read that too, Bob, but with the other talent in that range, I wonder if it will happen...

Regarding the centers, I think the one most likely to slide would be Eric Wood...

I will resist the urge to say I love Wood...

Truth is, I'd prefer Antoine Caldwell a little later in the draft...

And yet another substantive contribution to the dialogue...

Remembering that you recently advised me that I should post less, it occurs to me that you should take your own advice... you're really not adding anything of value...

The thinking around here is that we have our WR core intact, I was saying we SHOULD NOT look for another receiver since we have 2 great ones. Calm down, I wasn't talking about you personally.

Dont we have a probowl center already???


We are going to use a 2nd rounder on a backup center???


Good Lord, I think something is going to get broken on draft day if we use our top pick in the draft on Guorde's backup.............jeez



EDIT*******I just realized that Procter is the backup center, draft away Jerry!!!!

Uhhh, no, that's most assuredly NOT the thinking around here...

And witless sarcasm is not a substantive contribution to the dialogue... I'm sure you got a snicker at your sarcasm, but that's about the only thing any of us got from your playing the smart***...

I like sarcasm-- if it's funny... yours isn't...

Nope, it's just more of what has become your typical schtick-- whine, snarl, gripe, indulge in sarcasm...

1) Our Pro Bowl center is 31 years old, he doesn't have another decade to give us...

2) The backup to our Pro Bowl center is Cory Freakin' Procter...

3) All 3 of the centers mentioned can play guard, too, thus they could back up all across the interior of the OL...

So yeah, I'd use pick 51 on a top center, if he fell that far... in a heartbeat...

EDIT*******I just realized that Procter is the backup center, draft away Jerry!!!!

ROTFLMAO... yeah, that's the ticket...

And that is why RS12 hit it on the nose. The WR that the Boys should covet is the Bills' Roscoe Parrish (punt returner extraordinaire).


This would provide Dallas w/a plethora of options to take the BPA at #51, whether it is Mack or Unger (or another falling blue chipper), maybe even letting the Jets sign Austin too.

 

[ctrous25]

I would like Louis Murphy from florida in round 3, he was an after thought because of Harvin, but Murphy is a very good receiver with good size and good speed

 

[Avenging Hayseed]

Put me in the camp that wants to draft a w.r. I dont however want to draft one before the 4th or fifth. Too many other pressing needs that should be filled first. Ive got my eye on Deon Butler from Penn State. Guy can REALLY run. Great route runner, sub 4.4 forty, good return man, and not afraid to go over the middle even with his small stature. I consider this guy to be another Eddie Royal type. He is far better than the other w.r Derrick Williams coming out of Penn State. Butlers stats back it up too. Would be a nice pickup anywhere from the top of the fifth on down...

I'd be pretty PO'd if we use our only day one pick on a backup interior OL, especially a center. It'd be a wasted pick unless somebody got injured, Gurode just turned 31 and is hitting his prime, he is playing tremendous football and is tied up for several more years. Guard isnt much of a need either as L Davis is one of the best in football and Kosier is returning from injury, plus Holland showed well in his limited time last yr as well.

I'd like to find a swing interior guy as an upgrade to Proctor too, but you can do that with middle to late rd picks when. We have time.

We dont know what they really think of Free but judging from the fact they chose to play Adams at probably 75% instead of him you kind of get the idea he isnt much, and McQuistan is JAG. So IMO the tackle position is much more of a concern than any of the interior line spots. If Free really cant play and we lost Adams or Colombo for any extended time, we'd be in some trouble. Plus niether of them is a spring chicken either.

 

[dbair1967]

Nicks reminds me of Michael Irvin..

Thats what PFW says about him too.

I'm not sure if the Cowboys like him all that much.

We really have no idea, although I do seem to recall hearing that Ciskowski and a couple other people personally attended UNC's proday

I heard that the Cowboys scouts were oohing and awing over Brian Robiskie at the Combine.

Matt Mosley keeps saying that too, that the Cowboys love him.

Still, I'd rather us keep Austin than take a chance on Robiskie. Nicks I think will be long gone before we pick, in fact I wont be surprised if he ends up in the first rd.

 

[SMCowboy]

Personally I would rather us keep Austin AND take a chance on Robiskie if he is still around. While I am one that does like our base set of WR's, WR is one of the positions that would be high on my list to consider at #51.
