Sturm: Sorting Through the Cowboys Draft Plans

[CowboyRoy]

Yes but DE is an even bigger need beyond this season.

I agree that DT is huge need, but we have to give Mazi another year to develop. You take a DT in the first round and your basically throwing last years pick away. I focus this draft on pumping up the Oline and the run game. Its a great draft for that and we can do it all where we are drafting.

Last year's pick was most likely already thrown away. You can't let that cause you to make another mistake.

I agree that Mazi is probably going to bust. Cant fill every hole this year so Im taking a flyer on Mazi and giving him the chance. The odds of Jerry using another first rounder on DT are slim and none. Plus drafting at 24 your not going get a great one. Center you can get a blue chip pro bowler ready to roll first year. Now if you can get Sweat dropping to the 5th round because of his DUI then take him.

Isn't Osa a free agent after this year?

End not DT.

Could we field a starting OL in September if we don't draft one?

I don't think so, not a good one that is with journeymen at LT and C.

DE is not a lot better, with Parsons (miscast), Lawrence (tired), Williams, Golston, and Fehoku-- but there are serviceable starters who could use more depth to support them.

With free agency we are basically effed if we don't draft a starting OL, barring a trade

Yes he is.

You somehow make having 2 probowl DEs sound like shit.

We'd have potentially 2-3 problem areas and no depth.

I believe he is. I started watching some tapes of Murphy from Texas. If he is there are 24 then he is definitely a guy we have to consider.

No. Just no.

 

[CowboyRoy]

No. Just no.

For my money, Im taking Barton or JPJ. If neither are there I trade back, get an extra 3rd and take Frazier. We have to get one the top 3 blue chip centers.

Sir, obviously you haven't been watching the Brock Hoffman hype videos.

No chance in hell he makes it. Sorry.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

No. Just no.

I like Murphy but I might like Newton more. Both are guys I'd love to have at DT.

Barton likely won’t be there either.

If Newton Is on the board, I take him over any OL likely around.

 

[CowboyRoy]

Well we had barton and blew it. Love the deal we got in the trade back, but if we dont get a top center this line will struggle. NO way is some scrub Hoffman going to anchor the center of our line. guyton is also a bit of a project.

Only thing they can do to make this a homerun by trading up 10 spots or so up the 2nd round with one of our 3rds to nab either JPJ or Frazier.

Pitt, Miami, Philly all draft right in front of us in the 2nd round and they all need centers.

They drafted the Nebraska center like 2 years ago in the second round. I don't think the Eagles are dead set in center.

 

[Smitty]

Wonder what it costs to move back up for a center.
