You cannot take Ryan Nassib there, or God forbid EJ Manuel. In real life Nassib would be the pick because Marrone coached him, though it would be neat to see him pass on Nassib and all the draft talking heads carry on about what message that sends.
Laughed when I saw this. Remember in Carroll's first draft in Seattle when he passed on Taylor Mays and took Earl Thomas, and the talking heads went crazy. I guess Carroll made the right move there. Jerry Jones, on the other hand, takes players, whether they can play or not, if they will promote interest in the Cowboys or they went to arkansas (see Felix Jones.
On another issue, was the latest mock based on your projected actual or needs based? Cowboys only fill one of their many needs, and not where they need the most help, on the interior O line. Still at a loss to understand the 4-3 change, but this inside line is too huge to not address. By the way, the Romo contract issue is too huge to not address. If the owner were not the GM, the GM should be so canned. Issue is that Romo's contract cannot be cancelled until after Franchising date. This kind of mistake is unexcusable. For the first time in memory, I am nearing the point of not cheering for my beloved team, based solely on the incompetence of the owner. I know Stephen, and I may sit out of cheering until he assumes power.
