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

Indded I have, I'll have something for y'all
in a little bit, but if there is one guy I know all about in this draft, it’s Tashard Choice.

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.

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!

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…

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.

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.

Here's the deal on Choice
Great vision, sees the hole and hits it hard. Not afraid of contact and can break a tackle. Very high character guy who gave the pre-game speeches and generally kept everybody motivated. He’s not a homerun hitter but has OK moves in space. A little injury-prone, missed some games but always tried to play through injury. He’s a solid running back that get get you yards but he’s not the dynamic back a la Felix. He did lead the ACC in rushing but we also ran the ball a lot and ran it well.
A solid kid and a good back, but probably not a superstar.

Pacman is one of the best punt returners and Felix is a great Kick returner.

dennis dixon anyone?
what do yall think about getting dixon in the 7th round or as an undrafted fa? as far as i know, we need a qb to back up romo, im certain we’ll pick up a vet to do that, but i think dixon would be a good project. i don’t see how someone can go from heisman frontrunner to pure filth after an acl tear, i do understand that he may not be capable of playing a the same level as before, but the dropoff can’t be that huge… just my own opinion.
