2 CB's gone

Branch and King both gone. I think we should have taken one of those instead of trading the pick at 100.

Someone posted that players drafted here will have a hard time

to make the team… I agree. I am hoping for a safety…. then trade into next year

not really

we didn’t trade out. we just dropped down 4 spots.

Why not move down couple picks

And pick up a 7th if you know your guy is gonna be there.

by dieselT8 on Apr 27, 2008 10:56 AM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

becuase our CBs are gone

Branch and King. THis must be a stupid Oline pick or…

by Longhorn on Apr 27, 2008 10:57 AM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

so

King would have been an excellent FS or Branch. CB depth is never a bad thing..

just got ownaged

by Longhorn on Apr 27, 2008 10:59 AM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

We just added two CBs

adding a 6th or 7th corner shouldnt really be a priority

by dieselT8 on Apr 27, 2008 10:58 AM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

no

if dallas wanted one of those guys, they wouldn’t have traded down.

moseley

“The Raiders moved up to take Connecticut cornerback Tyvon Branch at No. 100. That’s a player the Cowboys liked, so it’s a little surprising that they moved out of the pick.”

My thoughts exactly

I really wanted Branch. Jerry is starting to get too cute again.

by GhettoBear04 on Apr 27, 2008 11:38 AM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

at this point, we could probably waive those picks in front of the iggles for lito sheppard, too bad we don’t really have much more of a need at DB

by Zak on Apr 27, 2008 10:56 AM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I think we do

Giants and Skins stocked up on WR’s and we don’t even know if Pacman will play this year or if he will be back to top form after missing a year.

We need another CB

But the Iggles will never let him come to us.

I would love to have Sheppard!

Curious to see if the 111 is really on the board

It is contingent upon the PacMan trade being approved, no?

by JerrodWheeler on Apr 27, 2008 10:56 AM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

i dont think so

I think the pacman pick was 126 and it shows that it has gone to Tennessee. So the trade must be done.

by PhxCowboy on Apr 27, 2008 10:58 AM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I suppose the upside is

the team didn’t need a lot and then got what they did need.

Norm reporting

That Dallas initially told the desk in New York to write down Mike Jenkins at #22. Then at the last second they got word that Houston was going to take Felix Jones and hurredly told the desk to erase Jenkins and put in Jones.

Killing Jerry

ESPN is killing Jerry over taking a guy who averaged 7.7 yds per carry for his career.. LOL. yds per carry is yds per carry to me.. You can say he is back up material, I just think he is a beast..

by Wmillion on Apr 27, 2008 11:07 AM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

agree

This stuff about mendenhall being the second coming is a little premature. Steve Slaton looked like a top 10 pick during his junior year (running a similar offense), and you see what happened to him later. I think the jury is still out on mendenhall.

I don't mind this so much

There isn’t anyone I am all that desperate to have, although I think we should have taken Justin King at #100.

by DalaiLuke on Apr 27, 2008 11:30 AM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

The rule of thumb is one round back.

A 3rd next year is the equivalent of a 4th this year.

by dunkman on Apr 27, 2008 11:32 AM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Not Really

Some people claim there’s a discount factor that applies, sort of a time value of money thing, like a third rounder this year is worth a second next year. But in reality, a third rounder is probably worth a third rounder next year, and the year after…

The really good teams take advantage of others who fall in love with players in a given year, and have them overpay for the next year.

into six picks through trades!

2008 Fourth round pick - 122nd overall (from Cleveland)
2008 Fifth round pick - 155th overall (from Cleveland)
