This was a great pick

The cowboys needed depth at RB, and there just arent any WRs worth th value of the pick.

Centric to Choice. . .repost

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.

Still Waiting

I’m still waiting for a S, but it’s true that we needed more RBs in the roster, and he’s a good one.

Sit back and enjoy the return to dominance!

Good value pick

I personally would’ve gone a different direction to address some other areas, but the kid’s a talent, no question.

Terry

Exactly what I was thinking…a Jr. MBIII.

Sit back and enjoy the return to dominance!

YES! YES! YES!

Little behind in Tivo time, but I really wanted Dallas to get him no matter what else they did early on.

That #38 sure can hit!

He was a sleeper WR

I like Choice

Now we don’t have to pick up Lamont as the 3rd back. But damn we needed a NT. I’m pissd we traded right passed Bryant.

True

Titans have reached on alot of picks in the last two years.

Yeah, ridiculous

He’ll be running around the field again this year.

When do we get our WR?

im starting to think that jerry has a vet wideout in mind and genuinely thinks we can get him in the near future. not drafting a wideout in the first 4 rounds when it was one of our few “needs” seems kinda fishy to me. i just want to know who the mystery wideout is and what we’re going to give up to get him…

Marcus Monk

is a Arkansas guy…

Jerry never said that WR was a need in this draft

and specifically stated that drafting a receiver in the draft that would take a while to develope was not something he wanted to do. He knows that we need a WR but only thinks a Vet can come in and make a difference. Dont be surprised if the Cowboys do not draft a WR at all.

Mort is reporting

that they are looking at Reche “PsychoEyes” Caldwell. THAT would be a real coup.

especially 4th-5th round WR's

Choice has already graduated

Moved from OU to Georgia Tech to take care of his mom. He’s on the Ticket right now and sounds like a real high character guy.

And also says he not into Soulja Boy.

the Defense is all about Soulja Boy

even coach Wade.

The offense has to get their own groove

That #38 sure can hit!

They did give up one of the best ends in the league

but they are still headed in the right direction.

Hey

Are we done picking? I don’t see our name up on the lists.
