That sounds great. I'm sure Jerry had a similar mindset last night when Manziel was sitting there and nobody wanted to move up. If we can't move, pull the trigger. We need players everywhere and since we are such a pass heavy team, having a starting caliber talent in the slot would be great.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.
The reason I wanted Martin so bad is because Garrett's time here is almost up, but we will have a solid OL for years to come.So now that I've had a chance to think about it, the pick was both solid and sensible.
Good player at a good spot.
I'm just so disappointed to watch us pass on a franchise QB, especially since I'd bet my life that the primary reason isn't because they didn't think the player was worth it, but because they wouldn't dare do anything that would make that bitch Romo even the slightest bit uncomfortable.
And while I certainly don't dislike the pick at all, I think people need to settle down with all the talk of running the ball. It wouldn't matter if we had 5 All-Pros on that line, Garrett is still our HC and Romo is still our QB who has way too much power on the offense.
In other words, you're still going to see your 10 rushes a game bullshit no matter what, and we're still going to have games where we inexplicable abandon the run.
The sooner that choking loser bitch of a QB is off this team, the better.
Yep.THis moment tonight might be the best I've felt about this team in years.
I didn't say anything about a trade would be guaranteed. I said if we couldn't trade, pull the trigger on the defense.That sounds great. I'm sure Jerry had a similar mindset last night when Manziel was sitting there and nobody wanted to move up. If we can't move, pull the trigger.

I haven't seen this bitching, but I haven't gotten on Twitter yet this morning. Maybe I should stay away from it for a bit.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.
We hope.The reason I wanted Martin so bad is because Garrett's time here is almost up.
True. But, it's what I'm clinging to right now.We hope.
I wouldn't put anything past Jerry and his golden child.
Looks like we will turn into a smashmouth running football team.I think Manziel is going to be a superstar. I could be wrong, hell I'm probably wrong. And honestly, maybe the circus around him in Dallas would have been too much and the world would have exploded....But the fact is, we have nothing to look forward to in the quarterback department for years to come. 34 year old bad back Romo with a penchant for heartbreaking interceptions and then after him, a bunch of turds. I don't know if we will ever have a QB in waiting until they cart Romo's lifeless corpse off of the field.
I just hate the way our team is run. Frustrating.
yeah maybeLooks like we will turn into a smashmouth running football team.
Most teams with "technician" guards instead of with strength don't become smash mouth. My guess is he's perfect for the pass happy offense we want to run.Looks like we will turn into a smashmouth running football team.
I think you need a defense to make that work.Looks like we will turn into a smashmouth running football team.
I do too but I'd love it this year.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.
I was joking, but Martin is a good run blocker, so he will definitely improve our running game as long as running plays are actually called.Most teams with "technician" guards instead of with strength don't become smash mouth. My guess is he's perfect for the pass happy offense we want to run.
Good lord, does the smiley not indicate anything to you fuckers?I think you need a defense to make that work.
I have read a few draft profiles on him that reference a little bit of nasty in his game. His biggest weakness is his short arms. He definitely has power.Yeah, I don't think I'd call Martin a "technician" guard. He's a strong guy. He can beat people up a little.
