Good Times

thats what i was wondering if it was for rw.  cuz we have not gotten a wide rec.   why not?

we had manningham staring right at us! then we let the giants get him. geez

Everyone's going to see Jerry blow another draft away, again!!!  How could you not go after Sweed or Manningham?  TO's not drinking from the fountain of youth anymore and Glenn's a bust.  Always has been since he came here (injury prone).  What's this guy thinking?  With his Crimson heart?  ...  please   He should've gone after a CB with the 22nd and a WR with the 28th.  Just wait and watch 2-3 yrs from now.  They'll be having the fans boo them at the new stadium.  His entire system doesn't work.  The 3-4 doesn't stop anyone, he picks (yes sir) coaches, he thinks he can make good draftpicks (Jimmy made the decisions thus warranting 3 Superbowls and everyone knows it; Parcells was a joke, he only brought in his old Patriots/Jets players to milk money out of Jerry's pockets), heck, they haven't won a 1st round playoff game in 10 yrs now for a reason.  Just watch Cowboys fans!  Just watch.

we just traded our 4th round pick to. whats going on?

I dont know what jones is thinking ,but we should of had  a receiver by now, and now he keeps trading,he should of never let  the giants  get that receiver!!!!!!

This is so stupid, they get rid of Fasano, a 2nd round pick for a 4th, pick some weak dude out of A&M in a need we never had till they made that move, still no WR and we just start giving away picks moving down and down, WTF are they doing?  The Raiders took a CB with our pick that we could have used.  I am loosing my mind now!  This draft is looking like an D, should be an F but I will give them credit of at least taking a CB in the first round.  

why in gods name are we trading our picks to the LIONS, RAIDERS and BROWNS? jerry?

I understand the need for more picks, but I've got to think a 3rd round will be much more productive than a 2 7th rd guys. We still need a WR and the quality just keeps getting diminished.

WTF!!! Felix Jones? You don't go into the draft and take a "Good Backup RB" in the first round!! No Wideout? No Safety? Jerry Jones is drafting us into another 5-11 season.

omg we traded again to Browns IDK what is going on there heads

this is just to painfull to watch anymore!  I am going back to bed.

jerry, what are you doing? you are trading all of these picks for more picks i understand. but we need a decent players while there still are some in the 4th round

I have no idea what jones is doing, WE had agood wide-out and let the G-men grab  him. that's why when BILL P. left I knew we were in trouble

are we trying to load up on picks so we can trade them a maybe another one for next year for anquan boldin?

In Jerry I trust? No. He's back doing what he was doing when the Cowboys were stringing 5-11 seasons together..... back on the sidelines, puppet as a coach, and managing the draft......

Congrats Jerry for screwing up another Draft!.

he is trying to take us to the good ol days! of winning 4 games a year.

the RB wasnt a bad pick. mr. choice

It occurs to me that a lot of this trading down could be cap related. Jerry has two first round contracts he is going to have to squeeze under that cap limit.

I kind if like the Tashard pick....He has a similar running style that MB3 had at Minnesota.  I see this as a depth pick an dmaybe some leverage down the road in negotiations with MB3. Plus remember we've had good luck in the 4th round with RBs!!!

what did we get for the 111th pick we traded to Cleveland?

Im so confused and frustrated . I don't know whats worse ...watching Jerry go on a tradefest from hell or watching all these idiots babble on endlessly while the draft whizzes by us with little or no info on anything relevant . Hmmmm BSPN I shouldn't be surprised !!!!!!!

Extra 3rd and 4th round picks in 2009 -- trade ammunition for a veteran WR after June 1st?

It has been hard to get excited about the WR's in this draft from day one.  You don't want to pay for a BMW and get a Yugo.  Every WR in this draft has numerous holes in their game.  I would rather stick with Hurd, Austin, and Stanbeck who came cheap than waste money on a slow Malcolm Kelly or a Devin Thomas that has as many drops as catchs.  

Anyone else notice that the ARZ Cards drafted a WR high enough that it might be an insurance policy for the loss of Boldin?  He wants the money just like Larry Fitz got and they don't have enough to go around.  Might be a proven vet WR that could be had for a draft pick in next years draft.

good point and that would kinda make some sense as to why no receiver yet.  I wouldnt get my hopes up just yet though.  It seems a little far fetched.

Unless Terry Glenn is healthy we have to get someone who can stretch the field.  Stanbeck, maybe.  He's raw but he has the speed to do the job.  But a proven WR would help me sleep at night.

well I guess Jason Ferguson was worth a de in the 6 round "WOW" I am in complete ahh over that one

Ya, honestly, if Jerry doesn't pick up a proven wide receiver here after the trade then the Cowboys are in trouble.  Why can't we ever fill in all the necessary holes in the draft.  I honestly thought this was going to be the year we would fill our needs at every position, but here we are at the completion of the 2008 draft and without a receiver.  Our young guys aren't going to cut it.  Jerry is seriously pissing me off!!!

so someone tell me where in the DRAFT you find that proven reciever ,  JJ has been saying for months now how high he is on the back up's already on the roster and crayton just signed a fairly nice contract last season ,  so he isnt going anywhere ,  if anyone actually listened to JJ last week ,  he said he would be willing to trade picks for a veteran nowhere did he say he would be drafting a WR  only that it is a possibility...... doesn't surprise me  ,  and as for NT  we have TANK and RATLIFF  , no surpeise there either

as for the wr's no surprise so many fell into the later rounds and manningham was red flagged by so many clubs it is surprising he went as early as he did.....  i didnt expect him to go until the late 5th or 6thround cause of his physical condition and his failed drug tests

I don't get why people are angry that we didn't take Manningham.

I for one am happy the Giants wasted a pick on him.  He's not a good character guy at all and looked very unimpressive when put head-to-head against other WRs of this class.  He was just yet another overrated big-10 WR from Michigan and everyone else just saw the light before draft day.  He didn't even look in shape at all and was a huge disappointment at the combine and in his individual workouts.  I would have been very angry if we had picked him and I'm glad the G-men got him.  Jenkins will shut him down in the passing game.

Not sure why people are upset by the 22nd pick on Jones. MBIII showed us that he cannot carry the ball 20-25 times a game and still be as productive as 10-15. We needed another RB, and we did just that. Yall should've seen this comming after we released JJ. Im excited to see what Felix can do!

I cant understand why so many people are mad at jerry jones for this draft. i think they did an amazing job. anyone who doesnt know in the nfl it is good to have a good backup rb. now i do personally think they should have gotten mendenall but still felix jones is an amazing back and will fill in nicely. they addressed the corner issues and for those of you that are angry about them not picking a WR calm down bennett is a tremendous athlete he played football and basketball at Texas A&M and has tremendous upside and can also split outside which fasono could not have done so i think he bennett will also be a tremendous asset to this team.. overall i i give this draft a B+

to add to what i said felix jones is the perfect complimentary back to barber and i think will end up being a WAY better back than julius jones will ever be.

a 7th rd pick would be better then julie jones a punter can run better but anyway I think Jerry started on the right foot but tripped i dont understand why you trade 3 for 4 then trade again thats playing russian roulette look what he did got another freakin de to convert into a linebacker that most likely wont make the team why give two players for a 4th to take a backup te in the 2nd that just sounds like jerry is trying to give this team to bill poorsmells what a shame

You guys have to take into account alot of things when you look at trades and draft picks. First off, they didnt get just a DE for Ferguson. They traded a player from a crowded spot, with a big contract (compared to a 6th rounder) to get a fresh player who could possibly fill a better role. Is Ferguson gonna run down on special teams? Or is he just gonna split time with 2 other guys and collect those fate checks.  Also, Fasano and Ayodele trade, same deal. They dealt away a player they decided wasnt gonna work out, and a player with a big chunk of the salary cap for a player they think will fit the bill better.   And as far as Wide Rec's go, what WR in this draft is honestly going to come in and make an impact this year? Or even next year. By skipping the WR this year, trading down some more, collecting more picks for next year, they are basically collecting ammo for a trade up, or FA trade to get who the WANT. No reason to settle for what this year has to offer.

These guys dont make millions of dollars because they dont know what they are doing.

DCFan84, you win post of the year in my book. It is unfortunate more people don't understand it. Flash and bang and glitter is what entertains us, but it isn't always for the best. You have to judge when to acquire it, and this year, we got what we needed, added depth, and stockpiled for later.

Next year, if, say, TO and Colombo bolt, and we need a nose tackle badly, you'll be thanking the heavens that JJ traded away a pick that would be some bit player this year and turned it into 3rd and 4th round picks we could badly need.

not to mention the fact that Stanback was drafted as WR last year so WR isnt really a need

After reading most of the comments, I would say the only thing I have a problem with is not drafting Mendenhall.  Felix Jones will be decent but you dont draft a backup if a starter is still available.  This year it wont matter as much, but what about next year if we dont sign MB3...  Then we will have a backup rb and no starter.  I hope they did not draft Jones for the razorback love and because he has what it takes.  Also, I understand there were no dominant wide rec.  but we did not even draft one at all... I personally think something is going on about getting a Boldin or R. Williams type.  Mark my words Jerry has something up his sleeve.  We will have a wide rec.  before the season starts.  Also, at least we had draft picks I think the eagles forgot there was a nfl draft and they were too excited about the sixers beating the pistons.

ANother thing I have a problem with is all of you haters... I bet you all were happy about going 13-3.  ( YEs I know we got beat in the first round of the playoffs but we were in the way of destiny.  As much as it pains me to say.  but you cant argue it after watching the giants go thru the playoffs)...   Everybody thinks they know what is going on.  but us fans dont have psychologists and lawyers and professionals evaluating these players.  we just know what we know from tv and the internet.  You haters need to shut it and watch us win the Super Bowl.  DCFan84 thank you.  I appreciate intelligence.  

DCFan84 you just said it all . you know jerry wasnt gona pass on getting at least one of his boys from arkan. now the suprise will be him starting and havin MB back him up. mark my words, he was taking in the first for a reason. and for the WR class this year, yea i was not impressed. now it would have good to see sweed ,but i do really like who we have ,yea they are getting old, but at least they still scare the other teams, givin that both of them are on the field. glen had some much needed time off, T.O. just needed time lol. so now we can get stanback healthy enough to spread the defence and send miles or sam across the middle and we have us an arsenal. but thats what the draft is all about, gettin people who you like or dont like. and for this year, well we needed some players and well we got them. it might not have been who you wanted but what the team needs.  period.  so yeah we left players on the board for others to take, big deal,  let them pay them players the big money why we pay ours what we can afford. and lets see how they do this coming up season.         we all have favorite players, who we like and who we cant stand, but in the end we have a team to suport, even if we hate the owner or not,, its the team we love         NOT HIM......

Amen...I haven't seen sooo much whining & yelping since the last litter of newborn pups I watched.  Grow up.  There are reasons things are done & happen, you & me just may not know why.  Why draft players for the sake of drafting thowing away mone when there's no decent value there when you can get future picks for trading or betters players that may come along in the next draft???  Likely many they might have taken will come in here as free agents especially potential receivers, safeties & more.  Chill...give it a rest already.

we dont need any more DE's or LB's we shoulda taken someone that will actually have a chance to start....and what is with trading away our draft picks?....yes we are a great team but we needed a WR at least to get them on the roster and make sure they learn the system

I am very happy with all the selections!!! I can't wait untill the season starts!! my soul is in agony untill dallas beats the NY Giants!!!!! Oh Yes it's gonna happen the revenge will be sweet, cause were gonna blow the doors off all nfc opponents!! as long as Romo dosen't go to mexico when a playoff game is comming up!!! we will be just fine!!! GO DALLAS!!!!
