Here we go again. Another day of drafting. I'm ready, put me on the clock.

Cowboys draft so far:

#61 - TE Martellus Bennett

Today we have picks #92, #100 and #167.

This is an open thread for day two of the draft.

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?

by Cowboy Blue on Apr 27, 2008 10:39 AM CDT to parent up   0 recs

We traded our 5th and 7th to take Jenkins

and got DET 4th this year and 4th next year

by DC_fan on Apr 27, 2008 10:41 AM CDT to parent up   0 recs

gave fifth and seventh to go up for jenkins.

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.

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

From Matt Mosley yesterday:

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.

So...

I’m stoked about yesterday’s picks, but now… Who are we taking?

by dunkman on Apr 27, 2008 9:01 AM CDT   0 recs

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.

by dunkman on Apr 27, 2008 9:03 AM CDT to parent up   0 recs

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.

by Valainferno on Apr 27, 2008 9:04 AM CDT   0 recs

here we go:

Day Two starts with a trade: Detroit trades and gets Miami’s pick

So they go from one Kevin...

Out with Jones, in with Smith.

How about Zbikowski

He’s a “real” football player says McShay.

by accidental innuendo on Apr 27, 2008 9:07 AM CDT   0 recs

not in the third round

I see the safeties going off the board in the fourth round

by Deke on Apr 27, 2008 9:09 AM CDT to parent up   0 recs

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

by ChrisRichey on Apr 27, 2008 9:08 AM CDT   0 recs

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?

by JerrodWheeler on Apr 27, 2008 9:12 AM CDT to parent up   0 recs

there goes Godfrey

picks are flying off the board

by Deke on Apr 27, 2008 9:15 AM CDT   0 recs

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?

I think you are forcing picks to presumed need. . .

My guess – not a one of those guys are Cowboys picks by day’s end.

Wow

They took Jacob Hester. Seems early for him.

Hester was quietly the guy I wanted in round 6....geez...early for him...

especially with Jamaal Charles still around….....a reach for sure..,

There was a lot of activity in the Raiders' war room

It isn’t nice to pick on the dearly departed…

Oh damn, now I did it too.

Gooden off the board before Connor

by amr512 on Apr 27, 2008 9:27 AM CDT   0 recs

They need to improve dramatically

So – good that they are getting players. Maybe they’ll win 5 games this year.

Carolina is having a pretty good weekend too, I would have loved to have Connor drop to #92. Oh well
