Jenkins

great pick
I love Mendenhall, but Jones is the perfect compliment to MB3. Jerry must think he can get MB3 resigned.

I think Jones will be awesome
I just don’t get why we picked him at 22.
by grapejoos on Apr 26, 2008 4:42 PM CDT 0 recs
My thoughts exactly.
I like Jones but this was a reach.

I like mendenhall, but, I’ll take Jones. Jenkins will be there at 28

For those of you saying Jerry's Arkansas ties clouded his judgement:
F. Jones is the first Ark player drafted by the cowboys since Jerry took over.

Terrible pick
You could’ve gotten him at 28. Obviously there’s gotta be something we don’t know about Mendenhall since he’s free-falling, but you’ve gotta go Jenkins then Jones if you don’t want Mendenhall

It would be a great pick
If the other choices were unavailable

Maybe Jones thought
Mendenhall is too much like MB3 and he really wants the thunder and lightening.
by Billito on Apr 26, 2008 4:44 PM CDT 0 recs
Jones is a lil faster
than Barber but he’s not a major burner based on his 40 which was in the mid 4.4’s.
I just don’t know.

Didn't Mendenhall
run a faster time anyway?

i wanted felix jones...
but i also wanted mendenhall….and it sucks that pittsburgh gets ANOTHER good runner….bittersweet moment, i guess….but we improved as a squad…that’s all i’m looking for…
by Tuna Helper on Apr 26, 2008 4:45 PM CDT 0 recs
true
silver lining is that felix fits well here as a backup and punt returner.
...But that was poor draft management.

change of pace back at 22
another blunder by Our GM
Trade up a few spots to get ahead of Houston and draft Jonathan Stewart, thee best all around Back in the draft.

it makes sense as a compliment to MBIII … and we can still get a quality CB in this draft

Mendenhall was only good for 1 year, Felix for 3 years
and he doesn’t have the wear and tear on his body like every other runningback coming out of college. Good Pick. Not GREAT, because he could have slid to 28

If our pick was bad
This one was horrible! This guy is a burner but a 2nd round talent easily.

Man,
I really wanted Mendenhall. The guy fell right into our laps and is not a change-of-pace back, he is a franchise back. I would have loved this pick if Mendenhall hadn’t been on the board, I would have chosen Jenkins well ahead of Jones as well. Jones could probably be available at #28.

I’ll bet that tenn gets manningham or something like that in later rounds

Chris Brown
Lendale White, and another back that I can’t remember. Makes no sense.
by sprite on Apr 26, 2008 4:52 PM CDT 0 recs
Tennessee's pick just made Jerry Jones look like a Genius
I guess Jones and Mendenhall wouldn’t have slid to 28
by calebsmith on Apr 26, 2008 4:52 PM CDT 0 recs
+1
At least I know Jerry had a reason to take him at 22 vs. 28. If Jenkins falls or we trade up to get him, I’m at peace.

see
two RB’s go right in a row. maybe the cowboys knew that if they didn’t take jones, they weren’t going to get him at 28

We need to get ahead of Houston
if we want to get Jenkins.
by Romo9 on Apr 26, 2008 4:52 PM CDT 0 recs
I can understand that
IMO I would rather have Jenkins but I like Cason alot as well. I was shocked when I saw in SI this weekend they had Jenkins as the #1 corner.

Trying to understand.
Basically, this is Jerry Jones saying, yes MBIII, will resign you. If they had taken Mendenhall, they have a guy who can be a number 1 RB. Honestly, that’s what I would have done.
However, this isn’t the end of the world. Jerry is basically just saying, we want to have a guy with speed back there. Johnson had the higher upside for that position, but Felix was the safer bet. I’m okay with this.
Please trade for Roy Williams. I’m beggin you Jerry. Any past wrongs will be forgiven/forgotten!

says Jones is better fit for us than rm, Yep, he’s absolutely right.

Still think Felix Jones would have been there at 28?

don't mind jones, but wish he was the pick at 28
hope they can still get a desirable cb when their turn comes again.

will choose Jenkins, stop getting all excited.
