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.

by Philosopher on Apr 27, 2008 10:53 AM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Yeah

I wanted King

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

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 up reply 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 up reply actions   0 recs

so

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

by Longhorn on Apr 27, 2008 10:59 AM CDT up reply 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 up reply 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 up reply 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 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?

Bum's Boy Boyz

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

I suppose the upside is

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

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 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.

by PhxCowboy on Apr 27, 2008 11:09 AM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

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.

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 up reply 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.

so many good RB backups are later in the draft, just look at Bradshaw last year for the Giants. Lets wait a while and get Tony Temple in the sixth or seventh.

Jerry has turned 3 picks at the beginning of the day

2008 Third round pick - 92nd overall
2008 Fourth round pick - 100th overall (from Miami)
2008 Sixth round pick—167th overall (from Miami)

into six picks through trades!

2008 Fourth round pick - 122nd overall (from Cleveland)
2008 Fifth round pick - 155th overall (from Cleveland)
2008 Sixth round pick - 167th overall (from Miami)
2008 Seventh round pick - 213rd overall (from Oakland)
2009 Third round pick (from Cleveland)

We should

draft John David Booty as a backup, he would be perfect as a backup..

And the secret sources in Cincinnati get the last laugh....

disagree. . .good pick at this point

Strengths:
Natural runner with excellent instincts…Terrific vision…Hits the hole hard..Is tough and aggressive…Adequate blocker…Good hands and can catch the ball out of the backfield…Nice balance…Hard worker and leader with top intangibles…Productive.

Weaknesses:
Timed speed is just average…Not very elusive and doesn’t have much wiggle…He doesn’t run with a lot of power and lacks strength…Is not a big play threat…Might run too physical for his own good…Durability is a concern..Upside could be limited.

Notes:
Began his college career at Oklahoma where he redshirted in ‘03 and then backed up Adrian Peterson in ‘04…Was granted a transfer waiver by the NCAA and didn’t have to sit out a year due to extenuating family circumstances…He led the ACC in rushing as a junior…Does everything well but nothing great..It wouldn’t be a total shock if he ended up being a starter but he probably profiles as more of a backup.

What are you disagreeing with

Me not being a fan?
I guess he does profile well as a 3rd running back.

Need another back

in case Jones or Barber sprains an ankle.

thanks

NFL.com hasn’t been updating trades very quickly, so I wasn’t sure

by MeanMr.Mustard on Apr 27, 2008 12:02 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

knew it

we needed another RB. We only had 2 including Jones

by Boyzfan94 on Apr 27, 2008 12:01 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

true....I know we need a 3rd RB......but please.....we also need a 2nd FB, NT, OG, SS.....

NOT at all on board with that pick…......BUT…..it was a really good “value” pick…...He was rated mid third round guy for me…

What are you talking about?

NT is a big need. So is SS, so is FB…

Choice pick

Nice, but we needed NT

No NT here is going to tap the lineup

Nobody here is going to beat out a rotation of Tank and Ratliff

Disagree

Rotate Tank with Bryant or Rubin so we can move Rat out to DE

Lions QB Matthew Stafford Likely Out Thursday With Sprained Shoulder

FILE - In this Nov. 16, 2008, file photo, St. Louis Rams quarterback Marc Bulger throws a pass against the San Francisco 49ers during an NFL football game in San Francisco. Bulger said Wednesday, Sept. 9, 2009, he's not pain-free, but his right pinkie is good enough, barring a setback in the next two days, to play at Seattle in the Rams' season opener. Bulger was injured in practice on Aug. 17. (AP Photo/Tony Avelar, File)
