That's not true.
I think the fact is he becomes cheaper to dump than to keep as soon as what... next year?

It's a shame. Ray Lewis and Jon Gruden are idiots, they aren't even interesting. Who the hell is in the focus groups that rates those guys positively over Mel?
I like whoever said last night "Jon Gruden is trying to ensure he never gets hired for an NFL job again, he must like TV too much."
Because he comes off as a complete clown.

Martin is one of my favorite prospects in the draft so I am very happy with the pick, I think this selection solidifies what will be one of the best, if not the best OL in the league. It might not be that quality this year, but I think starting a year or two from now we will have a top 3-5 OL in the league for 5+ years.
The key now is to properly utilize what will be a dominant unit, when we get leads we need to grind out games on the ground. When we get in the red zone we need to pound it in, we can't be bullshitting around, passing the ball 40 times a game.
Now, that may not happen until Romo and/or Garrett are gone, but that won't be too long from now either way so whatever.
At any rate, we may regret passing on Manziel if he ends up being a franchise QB, although there is no way of knowing if he could have became that playing under what would have been circus-like circumstances, but I don't think we will ever regret taking Martin.

Listening to fans and media slam the Martin pick is comical.
Seems that people are mainly calling it a bad pick since we didn't go defense.
Do people not realize there are still 6 rounds of the draft remaining? We could very well land two quality defensive players today.
They act as if the Cowboys failed miserably just because they didn't go defense with the first pick.
If Sunday rolls around and we haven't done anything to help the defense go ahead and slam the Cowboys. But until then please STFU.

Ya, ridiculously stupid. Greenberg this morning kept saying "Dallas didn't have a bad draft cause they didn't fill a need in the first round as long as they do later".
Uhhh, moron...we still have a huge need at OL and this solidifies one of the spots.

Not to me. Miami taking a 3rd round OT and Philly getting (although he was a big time pet cat for me) a 3rd or 4th round DE are both bigger reaches to me.

Well one of the worst moves was taking Gilbert. What did they pay to move from 9 to 8, though? A fifth?
They got such a deal moving from 4 to 9 that a small trade up can be forgiven. Who they took is what is dumb.

I'd say getting next years 1st for dropping down nullifies whatever reach it was moving back up a spot

I hear you. I feel like we have to part ways with Garrett and Romo to maximize the potential of this OL.
With Romo and Garrett running the offense I foresee the OL being turned into a bunch of passive pass protectors instead of a group that could be a strength and wear teams down over the course of a game.
We all know the track record of those two. We've seen them refuse to run the ball with big leads and RBs averaging over 6 ypc. So we know it takes an act of God for them to run the ball with any sort of conviction.

NFL Radio just said something about Cowboys insiders talking about using next years picks to get extra picks in rounds 2 and 3. Named that Sullybaldhead dude as one. Saying this is such a talent rich draft, and next years being down.
Not really sure how I feel about that. I hate giving up picks from next year.

Correct, though Romo could be released in 2016

I would take Lee without question if he falls all the way to 47. I don't see him doing that but I wouldn't just dismiss him.

Agreed but he's pretty much the only one who I'd pass up those guys I listed for.

We seem to overpay in the majority of our trades so I hope this is just another baseless rumor.

Cincy made out with a better player at 24. Spending the 8th pick on a position you could have met 15 picks later basically cancels their rape of the Bills for that extra 1st.

I like Lee. But would absolutely hate the fact we missed on helping the defense again. I'd either make the pick of defense, or maybe trade down with a team that covets Lee. He's a good WR, but a desperate need has to be looked at too. Especially when the talent that matches it is more than worthy of the pick.

No problem with passing on JFF, but regardless of the QB prospect we are tied to Romo thanks to the ludicre contract JJ gave him 2 years ago. I had doubts Romo would ever win big with us in his prime, but now on his downside with a bad back, oh yeah, looking forward to seeing him QB the next 3-4 years.

Ealy would be great value, but he'll be gone. A good WR can still be had in the 4th (though cutting it close)
