Get yourself on record.


Since our 1st pick isn't until the 2nd round tell me who are the 2 players that YOU want and tell me the 1 player you think DALLAS will draft.



Here is last years "Get yourself on the record thread"

Personally I want Dallas to get Brian Robiskie or Louis Delmas.


I think we are going to trade up for Robiskie.


He's a coaches son and has all the tools to be a very good player at this level.




Don't be shocked though if Dallas hasn't fallen in love with TE/FB/QB/WR James Casey.

I think that guy could become a huge weapon for us if we draft him.

I believe he is what scouts are wanting Tim Tebow to be at the NFL level except Casey has already put in the work at the College level.

If he falls into the 2nd round, we'll trade up for Hakeem Nicks. If he doesn't we will focus on one of these players.

Brian Robiskie
Rashad Johnson
Louis Delmas
Duke Robinson

My money will be on Robiskie.

The Jerry in me says to find a way to get Robiskie or Delmas, but we need some quality on the O-line, so I think we grab Duke Robinson.

I'm also hoping we spend a mid-round pick on this guy (from Football's Future):

Joe Burnett CB 5'9 192 Central Florida 4.57
By: Robert Davis

Burnett adjusted very quickly to the college game, becoming a starter as a freshman in 2005. He was fantastic as a return man and corner, earning 1st team Conference USA honors in both capacities. He had two punt returns for touchdowns, but also had 63 tackles and five picks on defense. As a junior, an ankle injury hindered him late in the season and caused him to miss two games but he did pick off one pass while posting 50 tackles on the year. As a junior, Burnett bounced back in a big way, again earning 1st team All Conference USA honors as a returner and corner. He had 64 tackles and six picks, while adding his third career TD return on special teams. Burnett earned All C-USA honors and even some All American accolades for a senior season in which he had 44 tackles, 4.5 for loss, and four interceptions. As a return man, he averaged 14.5 yards per punt return and 28.7 yards per kick return, including two touchdowns.

Strengths

Burnett is a playmaker, plain and simple. He has a nose for the football and always seems to be around the action. He is an active and aggressive corner that is willing to make a tackle but he thrives in coverage. Burnett is an excellent cover corner, showcasing the quickness and change of direction ability to remain with receivers in and out of their routes. With the ball in the air, Burnett shows the ability to locate it and go up and make a play on it before the receiver can haul it in. Along with his standout cover skills, Burnett will bring the added dimension of being a home run threat as a returner. He uses the same skills to cover receivers to run away from defenders when he has the ball in his hands.

Weaknesses

Burnett shows nice all around skills but he can be too aggressive at times. He can try and make the big play and allow the receiver to get behind him. His natural athleticism and the lack of superior talent in the opponent on a week to week basis allow him to do that in college but it will not cut it in the NFL. Burnett may lack the tremendous recovery speed to make up for his mistakes. His size is also only average but his toughness allows him to make up for it.

Future

There are a lot of questions at the corner position in this years draft, but there is quite a bit of talent. Joe Burnett is a player that has gone under the radar and could be a big time find for someone in the mid rounds on draft day. He is one of the biggest playmakers in this draft as a corner and return man and that value will carry over to the NFL. He checked in a bit shorter than expected at the combine but aside from that and his 4.57 40 time, he was impressive. He showed excellent quickness and fluid hips, and actually was stronger than expected, knocking out 22 reps on the bench. Burnett’s game is very similar to former UCF corner Asante Samuel. Do not be surprised to see him outplay a lot of corners draft ahead of him on draft day.

You think there is any chance we will trade up in the 2nd round twice?

Like trade up, take a player, then take pick 69 and trade up again.

I'd be happy with Robinson or a good LT to be Flozell's eventual replacement

It will depend on several factors, but yes, I could see that happening towards the end of the 2nd. I doubt it will.

The value of this draft is in the 3rd and 4th rounds. I think we will try and land several picks in that area as opposed to 2 day 1 picks.

Trading Down in the Second when everybody they want is off the board and taking Victor "Macho" Harris... My Homeristic pick...

If Nicks falls to rd 2, we'll move up for him. Otherwise, we'll pick Derrick Williams (WR Penn St.) @ 51. Williams will be an impact slot WR, PR, and KR. JJ is determined that Romo will not be the reason this team fails. He's going to make sure Romo has an abundance of weapons. We don't have enough speed on offense. If Felix goes down, we'll be a one dimension team facing 8 in the box. A playmaking speed slot WR will aleviate that. JJ will pick up a safety in rd 3, and OL in rd 4. IMO.

I think we trade up to top of 2nd for Duke Robinson, just a gut feeling....
I think Jerry has learned the importance to depth on the line and also he wants to get younger and OL probably oldest group on the team

I think we take Larry English or Robiskie in the second round, my bet is Robiskie.
Also look for Jarrius Byrd in the third, Darcel McBath in the fourth and somewhere along the way James Casey just could be a Cowboy.

I'm torn between the thought of spending the first three picks in this draft on WR (with the Williams trade) and drafting for needs at S, OL, and LB , but I have a feeling Robiskie is going to be an Anquin Boldin type.

I'm going with Robiski.
