Vote for your pick at 40

by Becho on Apr 29, 2011 12:23 PM CDT

Seven more picks until the cowboys pick next and I am wondering what the blog thinks will be the next pick. I think the Boys have a touch choice ahead. The CBs no longer thrill me, there are no good Safteys, DL has been depleted, and the ILBs all have warts. Its a tough pick.

At this point I think it is difficult to begin eliminating players who may not be there but I have settled on 2. Dalton and Bowers. I cant see Dalton making it past Denver, Buffalo, Arizona, or SanFran. Bowers should be Cincy's pick. I honestly think Mallet will be gone but I don't want to attach too many strings to this survey. I used Goose's rankings and some nice players I like. Its a big compilation because I wanted to be more inclusive so take time to read thru the choices and recommend anyone I missed.

In the last hour I've thought of something...

We already have a Longhorn with the last name “Williams” on our roster. LETS GO HARRIS! NO MORE WILLIAMS!!!

I'm hoping that Williams is gone

or at least drastically restructured.

by NerdVernacular on Apr 29, 2011 2:00 PM CDT up reply actions

We can't cut him

I think we keep him hopefully he restructures.

whats up with harris being so low on Goose's rankings.

I like him here too but goose has him at 64

I wondered about that too...

No to Marvin Austin

I liked Liuget in the 1st Round even if he’s a bit shorter that preferred for a 3-4 DLineman because he has long arms (34 in.).

Austin is as short (6-2) but has shorter arms (32 in.).

I really don’t think that he fits the 3-4.

Arnold, almost 5 years of good memories, you'll be missed.

he fits as a 3-4 NT

I voted for wieneski solves 2 birds with one stone can finally have our center call the line audible

Envy Us!!

I really am not in love with any of these players

trading down is such a cop out option though. if that option was up there it would win far and away.

by Becho on Apr 29, 2011 1:03 PM CDT reply actions

But if you don't lik the talent here -

doesn’t it just get worse further down?

We live life forwards and understand it backwards

Davie Wilson
"how bout them cowboys"!!!

Yep i am with you...

But if Aaron williams is still there boy would that be tempting

I'm torn between M Wilson and B Harris

I’m pretty sure the BPAs will be on defense. Either player will be tremendous help this year. But Harris maybe moreso. I guess he’s my pick.

that i guess issue is what drives this conundrum

there is no wow players left. all of a sudden that extra 49 we would have got for a deal with Jacksonville doesn’t seem so exciting.

by Becho on Apr 29, 2011 2:53 PM CDT up reply actions

so getting a CB & another player in th 2nd rd doesn't sound exciting?

theres plenty of talent in the 2nd & 3rd rounds

Every team has a great gameplan until they get Punched in the Mouth! Garrett & Ryan working as a team should create a physical environment at Valley Ranch that shows up on gameday.

by DCNation73 on Apr 29, 2011 3:15 PM CDT up reply actions

A Williams

all the way

by nicholas.rodriguez on Apr 29, 2011 2:15 PM CDT reply actions

I voted for Ijalana

but already have buyers remorse and rather put in for Wisniewski. Smart kid and could play G until Gurode drops off, prob in the next year or two.

by whitegoat on Apr 29, 2011 2:20 PM CDT reply actions

A.Williams in the 2nd, Matthews in the 3rd & the best OG/C in the 4th

then they have room for a RB, slot WR & a 7th rd special teams beast

We still need to fix the o line..Tyrone alone will not do the trick,,,We need a G

by scandrick32 on Apr 29, 2011 3:23 PM CDT reply actions

My pick is a guy who isn't even up there.

That guy would be Justin Houston. I think he is an absolute beast of an OLB who is only falling because of a positive test for marijuana. You want to know who else tested positive for that at the combine? Calvin Johnson. All I am trying to say is that the marijuana fall in his stock is stupid and that if he is there we should get him to replace Spencer in a year.

If I had a nickel for every time the Eagles won the Super Bowl, I would have zero nickels
