I think there's a huge chance that we draft Phillps in the 4th..we seem to be really interested in him and he's a Texas boy..he reminds me of Zach Thomas.

sorry but hes got tore up knee

I rather get BLAKE SCHLUETER/OC Some of you are now scrambling to your prospect lists to find SCHLUETER's name. Find it and mark it down, because this guy is slowly, but steadily, climbing up the ladder to draftable. The only knock on him is his weight @ 290 lbs., but everything else about him says he is a strong candidate to anchor an NFL OL for a long time. He strikes me as a younger version of a pretty solid guy, who plays with MR. PEYTON: JEFF SATURDAY.

 

[UnoDallas]

per cowboys.scout.com cowboys are looking at patrick turner wr 6-5 221
from usc

I would not mind him

 

[cowboyjoe]

not me, he is slow, we need a speedy wr

 

[JonJon]

The Cowboys still think he has potential. He was the #2 overall recruit coming out of high school. if he is there in the 5th, I see no harm bringing him in to compete. Also speed isn't everything. Rice, Owens, Fitzgerald, none of those guys ran fast forties, yet they all should be HOF receivers by the time its all said and done. I'm not saying Turner will be anything like the above mentioned, but speed is not the end all be all of playing the receiver position. You still need to get off the line, run crisp routes, get open, and catch the ball.

First, scouts seem to think that Phillips will recover just fine from his knee injury, or he would have dropped in the draft... second, if you think any 290 pound center can hold up in a Hudson Houck offensive line, well, let's just say that my initial impression of you is that you're not a draft guru... let Blake play for the Broncos, he'd fit right in there...

Hey not to call you out or anything but do you think you could hook up the Zone with those spreadsheets you made over at the Ranch? You really did a good job and more people need to see that.

Cool. I missed it the first time....I was for sure the mods would have stickied it. I already saved the bookmark but thought others could benefit from it.

But.. but.... you're forgetting that he's a perfect fit for Shanahan's offense next year!

Can you just imagine the conspiracy theories we're gonna see all year if Dallas picks up a couple of "smaller" linemen?

Webb drawing more interest

League sources report late Tuesday night that the Cleveland Browns are showing a great deal of interest in Nicholls State cornerback/return specialist Lardarius Webb.
The Colonel All-American defensive back, who is projected to be selected in the third round of the this weekend’s college draft, was visited at his home in Opelika, Ala., by Cleveland Browns defensive back coach Jerome Henderson.

Henderson, who played pro football for eight seasons in the NFL as a defensive back with the New England Patriots, Buffalo Bills, Philadelphia Eagles and New York Jets, spent most of the day Monday and Tuesday interviewing Webb at his Alabama home.

The Browns currently do not have a selection in the third round of the 2009 NFL draft, but they do have the fourth pick in Round 4, the 104th overall selection. The Browns do have two second round selections in Saturday’s draft, the 36th overall pick and the 50th overall selection.

Reports are that the Baltimore Ravens, Tennessee Titans, Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints along with the Cleveland Browns have shown the most interest in Webb.

Dang, Webb is shooting up the draft boards too. A 3rd now??? First Jason Williams, then Veikune, now Webb.


Next thing you know, Sam Hill will be projected in the 3rd too.

The good thing is that someone has to then slip.

And hopefully we'll be there waiting.

Yeah, but these guys are my pet cats!! :


You can tell how poor a draft is when the small school risers outnumber the big school risers. Most other drafts Barwin is a project pick, maybe 3rd rounder and Sidbury is a second day steal, not this year. Heck, the best all round ranked safety is from Western Michigan. Who the heck follows the guys at Kalamazoo??? :laugh1:

It really will be interesting how this draft turns out in 2 to 3 years.

And I have to say, if there was a year to have a lot of picks in the later rounds and not in Round 1, this is the year!

I think JJ and the scouts got that right, especially when you hear rumors that a lot of clubs are dying to trade out of the bottom half of Round 1 of this Draft.

yeah you have apoint there, but at same time this is where you go off of your head scouts, if you have a good scouting department, you can get the gems in the 2nd to 5th round. Look at the post i made about the 1986 49ers, they were drafting low in the first round, they traded out of first round, got extra 2nd, 3rd, and 4th and loaded up that way
they got steve wallace, tom rathan fullback, and charles haley and a wr, cant think of this name right now, but he was a good 2nd wr.

so you can get good picks in those rounds, and charles haley was taken in the 4th round, you just have to have a good scouting department and let them do the work and drafting.

That's true.

I'm just saying even without a Round 1 pick, we should be able to get quite a few good players. In fact, we should get much better value this year, IMO, compared to previous years.

But I know what you mean, had we still had a Round 1 pick, we could have parlayed that into a bunch of other picks.

The WR was John Taylor. He was a good one.
