Shaping up to be a great draft.

Dallas is getting some Special Teams fodder.

I think

we are trying to bolster our special teams more than anything..

Great pick

What a steal, he was rated in the top 100.

Love the upside

great value in the 5th round

by CowboyCrazy on Apr 27, 2008 1:12 PM CDT   0 recs

I think we still have #155

Rubin, or one of the FB’s Schmitt or Hillis

I'm hoping for one of the fullbacks

or a WR. Possibly QB.

Marcus Monk

please with the next pick.

ESPN

says we still do, I’m confused.

They fixed it

Dallas doesn’t have #155.

Oh, ok,

They changed it.

Its official!

Jerry Jones has traded more in this year’s draft than any other year he’s been in control! That’s officially 6 trades without counting the Ayodele/Fasano trade or the PacMan Jones trade.

where you find?

I’m looking for a summary of all the trades but can’t find it.

Scandrick is scouted

As an excellent Special Teams guy who specializes in blocking kicks

www.bloggingtheboys.com

by Brandon W on Apr 27, 2008 1:16 PM CDT   0 recs

I'm pumped...

The one weak point for the boys are the special teams..

With Bennett and Scandrick, its looking up.

by miles on Apr 27, 2008 1:17 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

So

we have one more pick in the draft?

In the 6th

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

by miles on Apr 27, 2008 1:16 PM CDT   0 recs

Yup

We have the first pick in the 6th

by Billito on Apr 27, 2008 1:16 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Where's Rubin?

That #38 sure can hit!

by Bigrigga31 on Apr 27, 2008 1:19 PM CDT   0 recs

not this year

In Romo we Trust

by Terry on Apr 27, 2008 1:20 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Its a possibility

But we have to remember we still have Roy and Hamlin.

If anything, we have the chance to have an exceptional dime package this year with Roy sliding up into the box.

Jenkins at safety?

He’s played there some before. Either way, it’s nice to have flexibility.

by grapejoos on Apr 27, 2008 1:34 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

We have WR depth

That #38 sure can hit!

by Bigrigga31 on Apr 27, 2008 1:19 PM CDT   0 recs

If he's not reinstated

Henry has to start at CB. If he is reinstated they could move him.

by dunkman on Apr 27, 2008 1:20 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

they talk about that every year

Moving Henry to Safety means moving Hamlin which means moving Roy

That #38 sure can hit!

by Bigrigga31 on Apr 27, 2008 1:20 PM CDT   0 recs

They might move AH to safety

situationally, like nickel packages. Assuming Pacman is on the field.

by dunkman on Apr 27, 2008 1:21 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

looks like a nice value pick

Strengths:
Adequate size and bulk…Outstanding timed speed…A good athlete..Hips are very fluid and he flips them well to turn and run…Has quick feet…Good ball skills…Can also contribute on special teams…Is tough and physical…Has a ton of experience.

Weaknesses:
Inconsistent and doesn’t always play up to his physical tools…Doesn’t get a great jam at the line…Just an average tackler…Can be blocked….Did not pick off a lot of passes…Was not really tested that much…Questionable instincts and awareness.

Notes:
Was a three-year starter..Ran the second fastest forty time for a corner at the ‘08 Scouting Combine…Has a knack for blocking kicks and could also work as a return man…Press / Man cover guy with excellent triangle numbers…Really put his name on the map with great workouts…Has starting potential and just might be a steal

4.32 40

That #38 sure can hit!

We have a need for speed

That #38 sure can hit!

At receiver

mostly

Someone said

Frank Okam to which I say +1,000,000,000,000

by Impatient on Apr 27, 2008 1:23 PM CDT   0 recs

-1

Not interested. . .Okam wouldn’t make it past the practice squad. . .law degree or not

or Rubin

Then get Dominique Barber in UFA

by quincyyyyy on Apr 27, 2008 1:26 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Can't believe the Bengals took Jason Shirley

Way to keep the streak of taking criminals alive. Good God.

by kindablue on Apr 27, 2008 1:29 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Please no more WRs

This draft is no good for picking up depth at that position. There’s no more room on the team for them unless it’s a vet. We’ve got our special teamers and returners now. Nobody Dallas drafts will beat out Miles Austin or Stanback.

That #38 sure can hit!

by Bigrigga31 on Apr 27, 2008 1:26 PM CDT   0 recs

Jerry said yesterday

That no WR in this draft would come in and be better right now than any of the guys they already have (Stanback, Hurd, Austin). I think that’s what we’re seeing here. Hopefully Stanback has game.

by grapejoos on Apr 27, 2008 1:36 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

there goes okam

Romo.. Witten.. Barber.. Owens.... First we had triplets.. Now we got quadruplets!!

by eMBe3 on Apr 27, 2008 1:26 PM CDT   0 recs

Dallas wasn't going to take him anyway

To overweight and an underachiever. If we somehow can get Rubin or one of the FB’s.

Rubin would be great

by Bigrigga31 on Apr 27, 2008 1:30 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

scandrick has 7 blocked kicks in college career!

a new Isaac Holt?

That #38 sure can hit!

Error

He’s slow

yeah keep it a family thing

Keith Davis wasn’t fast.

That #38 sure can hit!

by Bigrigga31 on Apr 27, 2008 1:31 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

why would you, just because its his brother

He’s not a guy that will probably get drafted anyway.

by Deke on Apr 27, 2008 1:31 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Depends

on the category. Can he catch stray bullets? Can he release TEs to… no one? Can he bite on repetitive pump fakes? Can he make no-name FBs look like All-Pros? These are weighty questions.

by dunkman on Apr 27, 2008 1:42 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

its all about value late in the draft

Orlando Scandrick was rated around 60 in the draft, getting him in the fifth is a good pick

by Deke on Apr 27, 2008 1:40 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I would have gotten Dom Barber simply

because MBIII might sign for less money to stay on the same team as his bro.

by calebsmith on Apr 27, 2008 3:12 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

and Dallas isn't reaching in this draft -- they're going for value

and depth now. But I see each of these guys contributing and playing this year.

That #38 sure can hit!

by Bigrigga31 on Apr 27, 2008 1:34 PM CDT   0 recs

Maybe not Choice

that might depend on special teams play.

by dunkman on Apr 27, 2008 1:39 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Choice will definitely play

Look what Ahmad Bradshaw did for the Giants, Ryan Grant did for the Pack—RBs play, especially if you wanna see what you got

That #38 sure can hit!

I Know we arent drafting a WR

....but i like Arrington from Michigan. any thoughts?
