Exactly what I’ve been trying to tell people.

Dallas Cowboys 2009 first round pick – Roy Williams
Dallas Cowboys 2009 third round pick – insuring Roy Williams gets to play in 2008
Dallas Cowboys 2009 sixth round pick – for Detroit Lions 2009 7th round pick (ours will be early in the 7th round theirs will be late in the 6th round, so vitrually a wash)

So, i will say it like many have said it already, we got a PROVEN top WR for a first and third round pick, NO gambling, NO learnng curve, NO ‘wondering’ if he will ever become a true NFL reciever.

drafted a Wr in the first or second round. Either that or we would’ve been in a bidding war over RW in the off season. We needed another threat period!! The logical choice is a established, proven veteran like RW, not a rookie. RW is worth a first and third pick. Heck, we really only gave up a first rounder because we had a additionl 3rd from the Browns that will be higher. Who cares about the 6th. Chances are he doesn’t make the team..

Let’s be honest, our first and third round picks haven’t been very good recently. It was time to do something else with those picks and get a player we needed. You know Jerry loves to wheel and deal. We all hate when he trades down to acquire more picks. The chances are the same thing would’ve happened next draft, especially if our first was in the upper 20’s and we would’ve been pissed again.

If people are so worried about draft picks we will have 11 to package and get back in the first round. 11 rookies are not going to make the team.

The guys Snyder signed were people who were in their 30s, over the hill, and on the downward part of their career. Perfect example is Deion Sanders.

Roy is 26, in the prime of his athletic abilities, and now on a team where he can actually use those abilities.

And as far as the salary is concerned, Jerry Jones is a smart man. Bet the house that most of these salaries will be paid in 2010, when there is no cap.

Read the article again and see if Dan Snyder could pull off something like that. And if you say yes he could, then please find another team and owner to root for.

Me trying to homerize my way through the RW2 trade, which I love.

The part at the end really pumped me up, as I was looking at the different trades we made last year. Fasano and Akin for Choice and Scandrick? Man you gotta love those moves.

that would’ve been a 25 to 32…whoop..dee…dooo…..You know as well as I do Jerry would’ve traded down that pick if it was in that range. He does it all the time. So in the end we would still have no first round pick and we would all be pissed that he traded down….

Tank and Canty are battling for a contract, and bringing Columbo back is a must.

When it was pretty much a guarantee that Detroit would franchise him.

It would have taken 2 first round picks to get him next offseason.

We will have 11 picks next draft to move around. The first rounder we gave up would’ve been, esentially a high 2nd if we finish 28 to 32. Jerry is trading down that pick without question. He loves to trade down.

If we think we overpaid for RW now, we would’ve been in a bidding war for him in the offseason.

I want to put this dead horse to sleep…

and it sure as hell wouldn’t be for the Texans, they’re almost as bad as the Lions.

Late first round picks don’t really get that huge of a contract. But I still get your point.

Even though there were none on the market.

You’re basically telling Jenkins and Scandrick that we won’t need you for another 4 years. Because then you have Newman and this new mythical CB that some people on here seem to think we could have gotten.

I like the upgrade at WR. Clearly the offense is the strength of our team, so why not make it even better while the young guys on our defense continue to grow.

Sure I know you’ll say that we had young WR that could have grown into the position, but if you think that Austin and Hurd are on a level with RW2 you’re smoking something REALLY good.
