I am needing to vent - so I'll take the plunge and do it through a diary.  I'm still a little numb - but I'll try to get past the emotions of the exit tonight and actually write something that is coherent.

I am not sure if anyon has posted these comments before - but I received the latest copy of the Dallas Cowboy Star, and it included an article on Romo by Kristi Scales.

Last year, everyone was saying that Reggie Bush was a "sure thing" and had to be taken with the first pick.  They said that players like Bush only come around every once in a great while- and that when they do, you have to go get him no matter what your needs are.  He was dubbed a potential all-time great at his position.

I'm sure this has been done here before- but considering I just discoved this blog a couple of months ago, I thought this might be a topic that would get some response.  

I have my favorite Cowboys of all-time listed below.  I was born in 1976, so some of the greats that are missing here are due to that.  Its funny how my dad's list differs so greatly from mine.

1. Darren Woodson
   
2. Michael Irvin
   
3. Ed "Too Tall" Jones
   
4. Bill Bates
   
5. Troy Aikman
   
6. Tony Dorsett
   
7. Emmitt Smith
   
8. Jay Novacek
   
9. Danny White
   

The story about Irvin got me thinking.  I would love to see some of your lists.

Anybody have any thoughts on this Tarell Brown kid?

I have seen his name floating around.  Would it not be nice to see us get a CB in the 3rd round freeing us to go after a pass rusher and a WR in the first 2 rounds (assuming we can get a guy like Hamlin)?

Proposed Draft:
1st round:   Bowe WR - LSU
2nd round:   Woodley OLB - Michigan
3rd round:   Brown CB - Texas
4th round:   Alleman G - Akron

Amidst swirling trade rumors over the last 2 weeks, Cowboy's owner Jerry Jones has pulled the trigger on a deal reminiscent of the Herschel Walker deal October 12, 1989.  Below are the details:

Cowboy's trade Miami:

conditional 1st and 2nd round picks for 2008
conditional 1st and 2nd round picks for 2009
1st round and conditional 3rd in 2010
and
6 additional players:
LB - Al Singleton  
DB - Pat Watkins
RB - Julius Jones
LB - Oliver Hoyte
DB - Jacques Reeves

Dolphins trade Cowboys:

3rd and 10th round picks for 2008
3rd round pick for 2009
rights to Ricky Williams of the Toronto Argonauts

They just don't make trades like they used to.

I was just thinking about how nice it might be to give up our extra 6th round pick and one of the extra 7th round picks for say an extra 3rd rounder.  And if the buzz turns into reality concerning JJ - oh, what a first day it could be having 5 picks in the first 3 rounds.  

But then again - it might just be more opportunity for Mr. Jones to make a mistake.

He did OK at the end of last year - but about 2-3 games come down to the kicker each year.  I'm not a proponent of going out and spending big money on a free agent, but....   What do we know about the Desperado kicker?

We broke form last year going after a big name - mistake. I guess we are getting back closer to form.
