will return shortly.

 

I've been so freaking bored since that came up. I had no idea how much I've relied on this website in my everyday life. I must have no life. Nice.

 

The Texas Rangers make me sad...

 

To fill up space, i believe the Cowboys should select Limas Sweed with the 22nd pick then pick Jammal Charles with the 28th pick and then pick Patrick Lee with the 2nd round pick. That would be very beastly in my opinion.

Charles

I think picking him in the first round is a reach. A speed back like Charles or Chris Johnson should be available in the 2nd round.

Personally, I think the Cowboys need to select a WR with their first pick (Devin Thomas/Limas Sweed) and then trade down for an additional 2nd and 4th. We need more DB depth, Guard depth and DL depth.

SB Nations

is pissing me the F off if you ask me, they need to get their shit together.

Ofcourse, the stuff happens in the afternoon when that is the most popular.

Couldn't agree more!

This transition to SB Nation sucks. I’m trying to be patient, but I’m getting fed up. Maybe you admin guys think you’re gonna make a bunch of advertising money doing this, but not if you piss off your existing fan base. We shouldn’t have transitioned over until the sh!t was ready for primetime

And...

Limas Sweed is to slow, we need a speedy vertical guy.

Jamaal Charles is to injury prone, I would rather have Jonathan Stewart or Felix Jones.

And that is obvious..

Charles is injury prone..

But you’d take Jonathan Stewart… Right.

It’s a good thing LSB has been down during the last two games. Otherwise, weirdos googling for porno would have come here given the language used in the gameday threads.

What happened to my old signature?

Since everyone else will be walking out on the team

the Rangers need as many new fans as they can get without being picky. It just might not be a good idea to bring the kids to the ballpark, or at least, don’t let them go to the bathroom unattended.

Cowboys

22nd: Aqib Talib if he’s there, trade the pick if he’s not

28th: James Hardy

61st: draft whoever is left (one should be) of Jamaal Charles, Felix Jones, Chris Johnson, Kevin Smith or pick up Steve Slaton, Mike Hart, Matt Forte, Ray Rice, Tony Temple or Allen Patrick in later rounds

Aqub Talib

has way to many issues and baggage, no thanks.

Its not worth taking a receiver in the first round, there are no good receivers in the draft, only depth.

We can get a good deep threat receiver in the 2nd round….

you probably said that last year with Dwayne Bowe

Hardy isn’t the top rated guy, but I bet he’s the best of this draft class when it’s all said and done

what would you take at 22 and 28, a RB (so many to choose from, NONE stand out that we could get at 22 unless teams don’t believe Stewart is healthy enough) and what?

What I would do....

22-(Corner
28-Trade for Roy Williams(Lions)

or

22-Felix Jones
28-Corner

We just need a deep threat, and there are plenty of those in the draft… But receivers are way to risky in the first round of the draft, because they almost never turn out like you think they will….

Its like 50/50, and I would rather dig in this DEEP great RB class. If Felix Jones, Mendenhall, Stewart fall, we have to do that. You don’t get those kinds of chances every year that late in the draft with such high rated running backs.

Best player available at both spots (Aside from OLBs)

There are no pressing needs on this team anymore. If Chris Williams somehow slips to 22, for example, hell yeah I’m interested.

Cowboys dream draft

22. Stewart
28. Cason/OT (Basically, BPA)
61. Doucet

And with the 22nd overall selection the Dallas Cowboys select Jonathan Stewart.

-1

We have Barber already and Stewart is the same style runner as him. I don’t see why we would need two big backs. With running back being is deep as it is I would much rather see us use that pick at 28 to get a RB or trade down. Running backs fall every year and I’m sure this year will be no different.

I’d ideally like to see
22. Best Available CB in this order. Jenkins/Talib/Cason (assuming DRC and Mcklevin are off the board)
28. Trade down or select a WR. I’d love to see us trade into early 2nd where a top-5 WR will still be available. I just don’t see any of the WR’s in this draft being worth a damn and its been heavily rumored we should be able to move that pick.
61. Best RB available. (Ray Rice, Chris Johnson, & Jammal Chares)

Also if we were to trade down out of that first we could maybe use those extra picks to get back up and get Felix. I never see him getting past the Cowboys in mocks so its hard to really judge his value among other teams. He didn’t particularly have a great combine so I wonder where he would fall if we did not pick him.

White Women!
