Would you be disappointed if we drafted Felix Jones at 22?

[tomson75]

You can never have to many OL guys. I would take at least two every year.

If you're referring to the draft, that's possibly the most absurd comment ever (for level headed posters). It's a position best served by age...FA is often a better source of help.

....don't get me wrong, I understand where you're coming from, but two every year is beyond exaggeration. That leaves us five picks to fill the other 17 positions...or rather five picks to fill what would be the equivalent of 77% of our roster. OL is important, but not at the expense of weaker positions.... FWIW, I think we've been doing a decent job at filling our OL in the past few years...a far cry better than previous years, at least. No offense Pittdawg.

I did not mean just in the draft. You can sign undrafted people and do things in FA. I feel that you should keep bringing in new guys and letting them fight for spots.

Some on here have said he may be a Julius, Jr.

If thats the case then I dont want him.

 

[theogt]

so basically because their draft board wouldnt look like yours, it'd be a disappointment?

You're exactly right. I formulate my own opinion and don't rely solely on the opinion of others.

That's great that you have your opinion and will stick to it regardless of what the popular opinion may be...

But if the Cowboys have him in their top 22 players....and you don't.... I know who I am siding with.

Doesn't mean the Cowboys will necessarily be right (if they put Jones in their top 22), but the odds are better that they've evaluated him right more so than anyone here ever could.

This wasn't a poll on whether or not you agree with my opinion over that of the team scouts. If I cared what your opinion was on that matter I might have created a poll on it.

 

[Bleu Star]

We need a CB like it's no one's business. I hope my day doesn't get ruined on draft day.

yep...totally agree

just because they dont draft somebody's pet player doesnt mean its a bad draft...unfortunately thats a concept many in this forum dont grasp

this team has alot of options for them...we're very talented with no really glaring hole among the starters...we obviously need a nickel CB and that may be coming via trade, or via a draft pick, but some think it HAS to be a 1st rd pick and thats just wrong...we obviusly need a #2 RB, thats coming via the draft...we could use a quality starting WR to pair with Owens, that is unlikely to happen unless we somehow convince the Lions, Bengals or Cards to trade with us...we could potentially look at a highly rated safety for the purpose of helping the nickel defense and possibly replacing Roy (if he plays bad) or Hamlin (if they cant get a long term deal worked out) after this season...they obviously have some interest in OL and LB, because they are bringing a few of those highly rated guys in for look sees....

there's really little they can do to not have a strong draft and improve the team

But the two are intertwined.

The poll asks if we'd be upset with Felix Jones at 22.

Which means, the Cowboys brass thinks he is worth the selection, in your hypothetical.

Which means, do you think that the organization is wrong on their evaluation on Jones....?

Let's say I don't think Jones is worth the 22nd pick, but he does get selected. Me being upset with the pick is essentially stating that I think the Cowboys got it wrong; and I am right....

Which, could legitimately be the truth.

But the odds are greater our organization got it right than my opinion....

 

[Vintage]

harsh

Nah.

Anytime theo does something like that, I take it with a grain of salt. I like his posts - he knows that. And he knows I like him as a poster.

So I don't take it personally, and I doubt he meant it to be personal.

And if he did, that's fine too.

no crap, the poll was asking for an opinion

So, basically you're okay with whatever decision the front office makes. That's fine. Then your answer is obviously "no." Some other people formulate their own opinion and don't substitute that of the front office for their own. I think it's perfectly fine to disagree with their decision.

By the way, I didn't mean to come off harsh. I guess I have a terrible time gaging how my posts come off. Tone is hard to convey (or not convey).

No. What I am saying is that if my opinion of Jones is that he isn't worth the 22nd pick (which, I don't personally think he is).... but the Cowboys draft him, they clearly view him worth the selection....and the odds are they are probably more right about it than I am.

Read above. I didn't take it personally.

Do you still think I'm an idiot for thinking Malcolm Kelly is slow?

I don't think he has a problem getting downfield

Nah. He gets there.

Eventually.
