New thread in the fifth round. The last trade was, I believe, the Cowboys giving up #156 and #210 to get to #143 and pick DeAngelo Smith.
I think we have five left: 166,172, 197, 208 and 227. If that's wrong let me know and I'll correct.
Cowboys haul so far:
#69: Jason Williams, ILB, Western Illinois
#75: Robert Brewster, T/G, Ball State
#101: Stephen McGee, QB, Texas A&M
#110: Victor Butler, OLB, Oregon State
#120: Brandon Williams, OLB, Texas Tech
#143: DeAngelo Smith, CB, Cincinnati

… seriously?
Tar Heels = National Champs in Basketball ... top 5 in Baseball ... Top 10 this year in Football?
of course you do
because this is one of the worst draft classes ever.
of course you would hate it, duh!
I use to love to hit, I use to take it serious. I only got one at bat a year, maybe...but, I took it serious. I hit 1.000 one year, if i had another at bat, I'd hit 2.000...
amazing the insight you guys have...
How you’re so certain they’re all busts before the pads goes on is amazing!

I'd like to see us take a shot at a couple of LT projects in the 6th/7th
Tar Heels = National Champs in Basketball ... top 5 in Baseball ... Top 10 this year in Football?
Definitely
They can’t be worse than what we have.
I think we’ll have to trade up to get a good LT next year.
So pardon my disposition; why should I listen to a system that never listened to me?
At Least We Finally Made an Attempt to Address Depth in the Secondary
With that cornerback pick.
I think we will hit on another awesome DB with the Deangelo pick.

yea, i think that was a HUGE pick-up for us
I hope he can shift to FS and be a ball hawk back there for us

He played opposite Mike Mickens and some say he was the better of the two
Still, it’s not much to show.

just sayin.

Check this.
Also a possible punt returner for us.
Always known for his outstanding hands, the right cornerback added a new wrinkle to his game as a senior taking over full-time punt return duties to add to his resume that included handling the bulk of kickoff return chores as a junior.
Hmmmm.

Okay, so with the break, grade the draft so far...
I give it a D, only because I like the Brandon Williams pick.

is my grade, but hey, I have a question…why did we not address ILB? I show Jason Williams as an OLB…
I have noticed a new resurgence in Cowboy hating in 2007, which can only mean one thing- We're back.
cool thanks
i thought we were all about Jasper brinkley. Who knew

looks like alot of PS and special teamers to me...Right now a D
Jason Williams looks like he has the best chance at making the team…McGee is a PS

Did we actually get what we wanted this draft or we had to settle....
Sounds like we were a step behind everyone else this entire draft. They wanted Unger and missed I know that

what do we know about these players right now? they were good college players. mcdonalds is full of guys who were good college players. that means squat. i’m not worried about other teams’ drafts. last year we were better than the other nfc east teams. add to our draft that we get back felix and kosier and i think we will be awesome. dallas has specific types of players they were targetting. football players. guys with high motors but maybe not the best measurables. like new england does. we’ll see once pads come on.

Brandon Williams from Matt Mosley Blog
Texas Tech defensive coordinator Ruffin McNeill told DallasNews.com’s Tim MacMahon that the Cowboys got quite a player in outside linebacker Bradon Williams.
“Brandon has been nothing but a model student and player for us at Texas Tech,” McNeill said. “I’m on the road recruiting right now looking for guys with the attributes he has on and off the field. What the Cowboys get is a great locker-room guy who is very team-oriented. He’s a guy they’ll love being around, because he’s got a little prankster in him. We’d love to have Brandon back, but we wish him well.”
yeah, what was with that?

If we believe the draft boards...
we haven’t done well in the draft. Our picks were (mild) reaches and we got no “value” picks who are falling in the draft board. We didn’t get Unger, nor a top safety, nor one of the several 3rd-4th round receivers and we just missed on Gilbert (SJ State). I agree with the earlier comments that other teams were a beat ahead of us.
And we picked up no picks in next years draft. On that front, the Patriots were two or three beats ahead of everyone else. They acquired TWO 2nd rnd picks in the 2010 draft by trading out of the 3rd round.
Unger
What would it have taken to move up a few spots and take him? A fifth or so?
I think it would have been a good move so that we had one bona fide OL prospect.
by I_miss_Switzer on Apr 26, 2009 2:10 PM CDT up reply actions
Unger move up
would have been a good move even if they threw in the 4th round pick.
Only if you had a dance partner. The second tier of talent was running out fast.
I just dont think any of those guys wanted out at that point.
The Democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those willing to work and give to those who would not. Thomas Jefferson
Patriots
My only explanation as to how the heck they do this every year is that they have a cheat sheet of EVERY TEAM’S boards and so they know which team would want to trade up. The crap they pull is absolutely ridiculous.
Were they a beat ahead or just in the right place at the right time.
I would have liked to have traded up but maybe there were no dance partners. We had a good idea of who they liked early and they all seemed to go right before us.

Every time Tim Duncan whines, an angel gets its wings.
Smith to safety?
If we are going to get S value late, it seems like a CB tweener might be the way to go
I see him coming in as a 3rd and long player, perhaps in the "safety" spot on those plays
But there for coverage. He isn’t a big hitter so I don’t see him as a safety on many downs.
you can see the change in direction with the players there drafting
none have character issues just solid football players and some are very good leaders …..i have no problem with that…we will see 3 years down the road if they can play

Michael Hamlin scouting report
http://www.draftcountdown.com/scoutingreports/s/Michael-Hamlin.php
Michael Hamlin
Height: 6-2 | Weight: 214 | 40-Time: 4.58
Strengths:
Great size and bulk…Has long arms…Nice instincts…Reads and reacts quickly…Tough and physical…Reliable tackler…Does a terrific job against the run…Good hands and ball skills…Can do some damage in the open field…Active and aggressive…Smart with a fantastic football IQ…Has a ton of experience…A team captain and leader…Productive.
Weaknesses:
Average athleticism…Does not have great speed…Hips aren’t fluid…Is not overly explosive and lacks a burst…Range is limited…Will struggle to match up in man coverage situations…Does not change directions all that well…Has trouble shedding blocks…Some durability concerns.
Notes:
Was a four-year starter for the Tigers…Named 2nd Team All-ACC in 2007 and 1st Team in 2008…Brothers, Markee and Marquais, play football at South Carolina St…Missed three games with a broken foot in 2006…Required surgery to repair a stress factor in his foot in February of 2007…Profiles as a strong safety…Definitely has the ability to be a starter so long as his coverage responsibilities are minimized to a degree…An excellent college player with top-notch intangibles but his lack of speed will likely hinder him at the next level.
I like these
4 year start guys. Generally shows they know what they’re doing.

Leadership
Most of what I’m seeing on Hamlin says he’s a vocal leader. I know he won’t be able to fire up the D as a rookie, but maybe he can get special teams to play like they care.
So pardon my disposition; why should I listen to a system that never listened to me?
of course the steelers get Joe Burnett
Draft Nick Reed. Draft Nick Reed. Draft Nick Reed. Say that fast, five times!
Hamlin seems to be a good value relative to where we got him
Now let’s just hope he makes the team.
or may go back to corner?
I think there’s going to be some serious competition at the depth spots across the secondary. I want to best players around and versatility helps. Brown and DeAngelo Smith will probably be competing with each other as well. How about Alan Ball? Is he gone if these rookies can play?
Obviously I would prefer to have the spots locked up with pro-bowlers, but I like how we have some real options here. Ken Hamlin can play either safety spot and if the other guy is more of a FS (which seems likely) we can do that, if we get a good SS, we can move Hamlin. You’ve got a lot of football players competing for a bunch of spots, rather than a few corners fighting for the corner spots, free safeties for the FS spots, etc. Hopefully this will mean good things. Campo should be able to get the best players on the field because of how versatile a lot of these guys are.
Teams do seem to find a way to win with young, late round picks starting at safety. Maybe we can, too?
So pardon my disposition; why should I listen to a system that never listened to me?
