Jerry Jones - Straight up Hustler!

Post #1 » by **f l u r p** » Sun Apr 29, 2007 12:14 am

Jerry is really looking like a pro out there today. I don't want to hear any bitching from Cowboy fans about Jones not knowing what he's doing on draft day. The guy is a straight up hustler.

He took it as it came, didn't force anything, took the player we had targeted at 24 and then just piled up great picks.

Just looking at the three deals

Cowboys give up

#22 this year
#36 this year
#53 this year
#88 this year
#159 this year
#195 this year

Cowboys receive

#26 this year
#67 this year
#103 this year
#178 ths year
2008 first from Cleveland - Almost certainly top 10, quite possibly top 5 if Quinn starts as a rookie.

I love it.

Can't wait to root against the Browns next year

Well!

I like the first round maneuvers, getting the rush end and and #1 next year. Trading out of the 2nd makes me think that the people who were targeted by the Cowboys must have been gone (Steve Smith, maybe) and as such they dropped done for some extra picks. I'm just unsure on who the target in the 3rd will be.

I agree. I think that with the #2 they were looking at Jarrett or Smith and when both were gone, they took a pretty nice deal.

I liked our deals too. We basically traded a 3rd and a 5th for a first next year. Can't get much better then that.

Well!

Frye is equally if not more incompetant. Its a safe bet their quarterback will suck ass next year too, no matter who starts.

As long as this doesnt come back to bite us like the last time we gave up a #1 to a team so they could get the QB they wanted in the early 20's pick range. I really like Julius Jones, and Marcus Spears is good too, but i'd still rather have Steven Jackson

Yeah at the time the trade seemed like a hands down steal, but I would feel alot better if we had two running backs with dreds instead of one. Oh well, with a top 10 pick next year we should be able to draft an impact deffensive player like Tom Zbikowski.

We could probably get Ricky Williams somewhat cheap. :lol:

Actually, thats not really a bad idea now that i think about it.

Didn't feel like making a new thread but:

5. The Dallas Cowboys: Jerry Jones wasn't really looking for much as far as impact in the 2007 draft. The Cowboys have a young group of 3-4 defenders that didn't need much attention. With age at wide receiver (Terry Glenn and Terrell Owens) and Flozell Adams and Tony Romo both in the last year of their contracts, major changes are ahead for the offense. But for 2007, the offense is in good shape. The Browns could be bad next year, so getting the Browns' No. 1 pick could put the Cowboys in position for a left tackle, top receiver or a quarterback if Romo stumbles this season. To move back into the second round, the Cowboys gave up the chance to draft safety Brandon Meriweather. But they turned back around and traded back into the first round and got a great pass-rusher in Anthony Spencer. Touchdown, Cowboys.

Awesome draft without a doubt.

Yeah killer, killer draft. I absolutely loooooove the Browns trade obviously but I'll be damned if we don't need young receiver..

Isiah Stanback, listed as a QB out of Washington, will be converted to WR.

I think the team knows that there will be a need to retool the offense after next season. There are some cap things that are going to shake out, flozell will need to be addressed and Romo will have had an entire season to show what he's got. Expect next year to be full of offensive players in the draft and FA.

Positives:
(As a Receiver) Athletic open-field runner with very good acceleration off the snap
