Cowboys Draft

Posted by pguimaraes3 on April 26, 2008

The Cowboys are sitting in a great position this draft to provide depth for this team that went 13-3 last season. However this team despite the record does have holes. These are the positions the cowboys need to focus on. Corner back, Inside linebacker, Wide receiver, Running back, Offensive Tackle, TIght End, and Safety (in that order).

With the two first round picks the cowboys have there are very few players that will be there that I deem worthy of either of those two picks. The guys that would be a dream if they are still available: Rashard Mendenhall(I don’t care about Run DMC hes the best RB in this draft), Keith Rivers, Leodis Mcelvin, Antonio Rogers-Cromartie, Limas Sweed, Jonathan Stewart. If any of those guys are there they must be taken. Other guys worthy are Aquib Talib, Mike Jenkins( only cuz of character, because otherwise hes a stud), Gosder Cherilus, Devin Thomas, Malcolm Kelly. If we get one of those guys I will not be upset. Other than that trade out and get value and more picks. One of those guys will be there at 22 trade out of 28 though. You can get more value later.

At running back. Do not take Felix Jones in the first round hes not worth it. A guy who if we have to reach for I will be OK but I would love to see if he falls to the second round is Chris Johnson from ECU ( i know pick the fastest guy in the draft) I watched him play a few times and hes just reggie bush-type electric. We have our power guy, we should take Johnson. A later round pick might be Jamal Charles or Steve Slaton who had a injury filled junior year but was first round material his freshman and sophomore years.

Chris Johnson

At receiver I am just worried about taking anyone but sweed in the first round I just do not feel anyone else is worth it. Receiver is like RB you can get one later. I would love to see us take Dexter Jackson from App State.( I know second fastest guy in the draft, sue me) Hes Dexter Jackson without the injuries or the money you’d have to pay him.

Dexter Jackson.  Just look at the explosiveness he shows against Michigan.  Also watch how much Michigan sucks.

I would like us to take a Middle Linebacker in the early rounds because Zach Thomas is old, Carpenter is a bust and Dan Conner will probably be there and he just seems to be around the ball whenever he plays, he does not have the explosiveness but then again neither does Bradie James and that seems to work out.

Look for a Tight end to be drafted by us because we traded fasano away to the dolphins.

I would like to see us take a chance on Erik Wicks the safety from West Virginia because hes a possible sixth or seventh round pick because he does not have the ideal speed. but whenever I watched him play, which was a lot because West Virginia was playing the national game on Thursday nights, all he did was make big plays, hes always around the ball he just seems like a quality player. Not a starter for a couple years but a keith davis type but with more talent.

All of this changes if we can trade for Roy WIlliams with one of our first round picks. If we can, DO IT NOW. Trade 22 if you have to.
