outstanding selection
Trade up a few spots to get ahead of Houston and draft Jonathan Stewart, thee best all around Back in the draft.

Awesome job Jerry!!!
This makes up for not taking Mendenhall.
Jones and Jenkins give us an A++++ 1st round.

I live in Tucson
and have been to many UofA games and can tell you that you would have been right last year. This year he couldnt cover anyone. There is a good reason he fell.

Cason could come in and start right off
but Jenkins has more upside and wont have the pressure to come in and be the man on day one with the Pac-rat onboard

Successful 1st Round for Jerry and Wade...
Special teams gets a SERIOUS shot in the arm.
by N41D on Apr 26, 2008 5:08 PM CDT 0 recs
True.
I’m kind of excited about the idea of drafting some backup safeties and linebackers, because they’ll come in and play special teams and give it an injection of talent.

We could grab another RB like Forte or another CB like Porter
The way the WR’s are falling though, you never know.

Great Looking Secondary
The pick is solid! The secondary if healthy and with Pacman in the fold,it is by far best in the league. Defense wins championships!

Plus
If Spencer gets better, we have a great pass rush

Exactly
it was a tired looking defence that let Eli march right down the field to end the half and really kill the cowboys momentum. The defence will be stronger this time around, especially like you said accidental innuendo “If spencer gets better”, the better the pass rush, the more turnovers those boys in the dbackfield will create!

Easily the third best corner
Much better than Flowers and Cason. Doesn’t have a high “bust” factor yet has a very high ceiling and potential. The guy could be a stud one day and is more athletic than Flowers or Cason.

i’ll take jenkins anyday

NT
I think we could use a NT more than a WR with pick #61.
We have serviceable backups at WR, but not at NT (in case of injury).

wait till day two for DT
Maybe we could pick up Frank Okam in the third or fourth

That would be a great pick at 61
Or Dallas could trade back into the 3rd to make sure they get Red Bryant, and pick up that 5th rounder they gave up to get Jenkins.

WRs
why not wait and get Adarius Bowman from OSU late. Pot problems have him tumbling down.
by sprite on Apr 26, 2008 5:19 PM CDT 0 recs
He has a lot of problems
I wouldn’t want to put all my eggs into one basket into a sixth round draft pick. However, I wouldn’t mind picking him up really late in the draft.

Jenkins was the #1 CB on our board
Hashmarks says we had him above DRC and McLovin.
by grapejoos on Apr 26, 2008 5:22 PM CDT 0 recs
Then WTH did we not take him at #22. Just to mess with us?

well
judging by the RB flurry (Jones/Mendenhall/Johnson) back to back, Jerry probably figured Jenkins would slip but Felix wouldn’t

If that's true, then this 1st round went perfectly.

Get rid of 5th and 7th.
These picks may not even make this team. Save the time and money. I think better players could be had in the 4th and 6th. Good to concentrate on those 1st picks in their respective rounds.
Jenkins will be solid. Dallas did what it needed to do so far today. Hopefully safeties will continue to be ignored through the 2nd.
Is it just me, or is anybody else sick of hearing that Dallas NEEDS to draft a WR? It’s not that pressing of a need this year. We need guys who can contribute now—like the one’s already picked. Special teamers at least..
That #38 sure can hit!

IF Dallas drafts a WR
I would want it to be Desean Jackson if he possibly drops to their 2nd round pick. WRs are sliding, so—who knows?
DJack is a local guy around here in CA. He’s been working out with Jerry Rice and is committed to his game. Kindof a tough guy for a small guy. Maybe he’d be like a Steve Smith?
That #38 sure can hit!
