We do need another guy who can catch passes though. Not the highest priority, but still a need. Witten and Eifert would be on the field just about every play. And multitude of guys is questionable. Just preparing you guys for the inevitable.
We fans are hugely biased towards need vs talent and you can believe that goes double for Garrett. But Jones the GM should not be even though as Jones the owner he has to sell 90K tickets a game.
Why don't I? I enjoy watching things burn. Besides, we get the added bonus of VA going to Dallas and ending Jerry's life. He said so, or at least implied as much. I believe everything I read on the internet.
I'm sure you do like to watch things burn but you don't actually want the Cowboys to draft Eifert over a guy like Warmack or Cooper. You're just stirring the pot.
Because he will basically see no balls thrown his way over the next three to five years while Witten is still on the team and Romo is still his butt buddy getting him as many balls as possible. Then after averaging 300 yards a season Eifert will go somewhere else. This is the exact problem with BPA. When you have a 30 year old probowler already at that position that won't be going anywhere any time soon, the newly draft player isn't going to do shit and his value will only plummet as a result.
Yes, you can buy overpriced, mediocre FA's to fill gaps you should have addressed in the draft for years but you didn't because you were busy drafting TE's because you erroneously followed a retarded notion of taking the BPA whether you needed the player or not.
For the record, that is only in the case of us taking Eifert if Warmack, Cooper or Richardson are still on the board.
Can't slip anything by you, can I? The "After reading this thread" and lol smiley parts apparently weren't sneaky enough.
GFY Clarencehilljr...
I think Vaccaro is the better prospect. Of course many experts have him in the top 15 prospects. I think Eifert is gone by the time we pick anyway, there has been talk of him going as high as 6 to the Browns.
Our team has certain fetishes. LBer, RB, and TE seem to be positions that we value extremely highly in the draft. I wouldn't be surprised to see us take a player at any of those positions at any point in this draft. It really sucks to say that but it's true. Our scouts probably have much higher grades on guys at those positions then they do guys at other positions.
I think DE will now replace LB on that list now that we've gone to the 4-3.
Been there. Done that.
I hope but with Wagner, Lee, Carter all pegged for us in the second round over the last few drafts I'm still concerned. Those are all 4-3 LBer types.
