I'm guessing the cowboys will move down abit to try to recoup some picks
still some very good players left on the board. If by chance dallas takes another corner, I see Henry being moved to safety this year
Trades
Does anyone know what we gave up to move up and take Jenkins? Also what did we get when we moved down in the third with detroit?

R Mendenhall Observation
R Mendenhall failed to gain >100 yds against – Missouri, Penn State, Iowa, Michigan & Ohio State. His big games came against Western Illinois, Syracuse, Indiana & Ball State.
In the bowl game against USC, his stats looked good because of 1 big run. I’m starting to like the F Jones pick much better now.

If it wasn’t for Mayock hypin’ him like a pimp….nobody would even bitch…..
Where was he a year ago ?....is the question…back up to some clown named Pierre, on a perrenial Big 10 doormat…..
A true diehard Cowboys fan since 1975.
I think we take CB Godfrey of Iowa if he is there. . .
And I wouldn’t be surprised to see a DE/OLB Bruce Davis or Chris Ellis as potential targets in the 4th round. How do you like that boys. . .another OLB convert pass rushing specialist!

You've been reading Hashmarks
They like a defensive end from Virginia Tech named Chris Ellis, a defensive end from UCLA named Bruce Davis and a cornerback out of Iowa named Charles Godfrey. I would look for Godfrey to possiby go to the Cowboys in the third round.

great call Jerrod....I see Godfrey as an eventually great cover Strong Safety in the NFL
A true diehard Cowboys fan since 1975.
Great timing
I’d love a strong safety here, but only if he’s an upgrade over Roy. I coul dlive with a CB, although the OLB/TE is better still.
I think we should take
a safety with our first pick and a WR with our fourth rounder. That kid Will Franklin should still be available at that point.
Detroit takes RB Kevin Smith
woo hoo, draft picks are being made again!
by Dave Halprin on Apr 27, 2008 9:08 AM CDT up reply actions
So they go from one Kevin...
... to another.
Out with Jones, in with Smith.

Good morning!
Nice to see everybody up early (at least on the West Coast). So do we got NT or S this round? I would like to see us end up with Andre Caldwell from Florida
Caldwell's brother, Reche, has freaking scary eyes. . .
Those things are bugging out of his head!

Don't like Caldwell or Bryant. . .
Godfrey/Bell is an interesting target. Franklin will be around later, no?

2nd day guesses
If the Boys stay with the picks (probably won’t)
92 NT Red Bryant or Ahtyba Rubin#100 SS Tom Zbikowski or Craig Steltz
#167 FB Owen Schmitt or Peyton Hillis
what do you guys thinks?
T-New, shutting down WR's for Dallas since 2003
I think you are forcing picks to presumed need. . .
My guess – not a one of those guys are Cowboys picks by day’s end.

Hester was quietly the guy I wanted in round 6....geez...early for him...
especially with Jamaal Charles still around….....a reach for sure..,
A true diehard Cowboys fan since 1975.
There was a lot of activity in the Raiders' war room
but it turned out Al needed a change of Depends…
Took them forever
Apparently the zipper on his white jump suit was stuck. You couldn’t pay me enough…
If drafted by a 3-4 team, many projected him as an OLB...
... However, Buffalo selected him, so will probably play DE.

KC...has stolen this draft.....They will be most improved team....

They need to improve dramatically
So – good that they are getting players. Maybe they’ll win 5 games this year.

You cut out a lot of his positives

good numbers, not great, projected in late third round.

he's a sleeper I thought would be long gone by now...another great value pick if there...

Weaknesses:

Notes:
Father, Grieg, played basketball at Nevada…Cousin, Jerald Moore, was a running back in the NFL…Redshirted in ‘03 after suffering a shoulder injury…Was benched at one point in 2007…One of the top safeties in the country coming into his senior year but really underachieved…Really blew up at the Scouting Combine…Workout Warrior who has a phenomenal combination of height / weight / speed but it does not always translate onto the field….Boom or bust type with all the physical tools.

My th inkning is that if they do
it’ll be another project. I really think they are much higher on Stanback than most people think.
They have to be...
He must have showed some really amazing potential.
Its my Money, And I want it NOW!
yeah but greenbay is loaded at receiver and they took Nelson
We cant depend on Glenn, anything we get out of him is a bonus, Stanbach is still an unknown, so I really think dallas needs a speed field stretcher
see Longhorn.....not that word of yours finally fits in a sentence i can understand.......lol
A true diehard Cowboys fan since 1975.
Jeremy Zuttah, Beau Bell or Dre Moore
I don’t think Safety will be the pick

May be one of the best drafts of ALL TIME.....wow...
They draft a QB like Josh Johnson. or OConnell, Ainge…....they’ve covered it all…

I'd laugh watching the board if we picked Booty
Bum's Boy Boyz
Except for Brandon who is on duty for his nation
who wouldn’t pick Booty? Is this a draft concession to Pacman??
third and next years 1 for Anquan Bolden
Bum's Boy Boyz
I'm hoping we
grab Barrett at 92 and if Manningham is there at 100 I’d grab him and then grab a QB in the 6th.
exactly
Manningham has attitutde problems and disappeared in big games
by Brandon Worley on Apr 27, 2008 10:08 AM CDT up reply actions
I'm not either
but it would be a 4th rd pick for a guy projected as late one or early two not too long ago.
It wouldn’t be like picking Skyler Green.
It could be great value but I definitely hear you guys.
bummer...i was starting to warm up to that dude...
but I still like Barrett more…
A true diehard Cowboys fan since 1975.
Barrett isn't the pick IMO
Courtney Brown and Watkins are this year’s safety depth

by JerrodWheeler on Apr 27, 2008 10:08 AM CDT up reply actions
Barrett will play Strong Safety...neither Brown or Watkins are
A true diehard Cowboys fan since 1975.
If RW goes down. . .Hamlin moves over to SS
Then Watkins becomes your FS unless Brown really steps up
Bum's Boy Boyz
I dont know if Im comfortable with Brown as a backup
Plus we need Special teams playmakers

Off topic a lil...
Who hated the coverage from ESPN on day 1. I thought it was way behind. They didnt even give the trade details out for most trades. Idk i just thought it was bad.
Its my Money, And I want it NOW!
I really only watched NFLN
and I really like Mike Mayock’s commentary. The guy really knows his stuff.
Agreed
But it’s all I had since I have cable. Here’s to having DirecTV by August!

We need?
Do we need a back up QB? I like the idea of a safety.

Just read at DMN blog
that Jerry wanted to trade up in Round 2 and take WR James Hardy, who went to Buffalo at #41, but no one else wanted to do it, so he was outvoted.
Wow
I was unaware the war room was such a Democracy in Dallas. Hardy would have been nice to have, oh well maybe we’ll still land Caldwell.

Early 4th, if they don’t trade out, is going to be Booty or Ainge. I want Ainge.
