cowboys need to make another trade. they dont draft again for another 30 picks

[Horry For 3!]

I think Cowboys have done decent. Carpenter and Watkins were good picks for D and Fasano is good for the 2 TE sets

[Mr Dio]

Can't believe we're going to have the same run D as last yr.
A little too soft up the gut.

Damn, AZ's draft looks good.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Draft Larry Dibbles, I said

[gmanrulz]

i think carpenter will be a better nfl player then hawk

[Mr Dio]

They need to get a 300+ dt today, Corso!


Need a DT or 2 even.

[gmanrulz]

hey what about aaron harris?

[Cant_Be_Faded]

hey what about aaron harris?


I don't think he's been drafted. This draft has been a huge dissapointment for texas prospects

[gmanrulz]

is he supposed to get drafted?

[Cant_Be_Faded]

yeah

he has speed issues though

[scott]

Aaron Harris is still in school...

If you mean Orien Harris, DT from Miami - Pittsburg drafted him.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

God I just hope and pray Jaxson Appel doesn't get drafted, or any other aggie for that matter

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Aaron Harris is still in school...

If you mean Orien Harris, DT from Miami - Pittsburg drafted him.


No he's not

[Horry For 3!]

Aaron Harris is still in school...

He was a Senior last year

[T Park]

Isn't Bloom the dude that tried to compete in the olympics in skiing?

[Horry For 3!]

Isn't Bloom the dude that tried to compete in the olympics in skiing?
Yeah, he did compete but didn't win.

[scott]

My bad. He must just flat out suck then, he isn't even listed as a prospect on NFL.com. That puts him on the caliber of an Ahmad Brooks!

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I would rather pick someone named McClendon Madison

What happened to that guy? I heard all this stuff about him that he was one of the greatest LBs either last year or earlier in the season and didn't hear anything about him since then.

[scott]

Aaron Harris, UDFA, Texas

[scott]

What happened to that guy? I heard all this stuff about him that he was one of the greatest LBs either last year or earlier in the season and didn't hear anything about him since then.

Yeah... he would have been a first rounder had he come out last year... then he went and got kicked out of UVA for being a nutjob.

[Mr Dio]

Brooks will prob be drafted in the Supp Draft.
I think he pissed hot & was released from the team after the deadline for this draft.

[Mr Dio]

Watkins is almost 6'5"???

[Horry For 3!]

Interesting....

Steelers select Omar Jacobs

[T Park]

Marques Haggans?

WTF RAMS?!?!? We need offensive lineman and Defensive lineman and take a midget version of Antwaan Randle El?!??!

Oy...

Did Martz slip in there and get this guy!??!?!?

[Horry For 3!]

Bears drafted a lot of defensive players, weren't their defense one of the best last year? :lol

[T Park]

yeah, should'nt the Bears have gone offense?

Lovie Smith was like that in St Louis though, always wanted to go defense defense defense

[Mr Dio]

I had read CHI has 22 starters coming back. Amazing.

[Horry For 3!]

The 5th round is comin to an end soon and still Rod Wright on the board

[Horry For 3!]

yeah, should'nt the Bears have gone offense?

Lovie Smith was like that in St Louis though, always wanted to go defense defense defense
Yeah, they could have used a TE and WR and maybe some OL

[Mr Dio]

The 5th round is comin to an end soon and still Rod Wright on the board


Kiper also has a DT from Louisville rated on his Best Avail list.

[scott]

Jesus Christ TPark, this isn't Madden 2007... the Rams can't fill every need the have in a single draft. Best Player Available...

[Horry For 3!]

Many, many TEs being selected

[T Park]

Jesus Christ TPark, this isn't Madden 2007... the Rams can't fill every need the have in a single draft. Best Player Available

They dont need MORE Wrs :lol

best player available was more than likely (because I cant watch the coverage) a DT, D Lineman, or offensive lineman.


Hell, who was the QB from UCLA?

Id give him a shot, dudes got a cannon for an arm.

[T Park]

Linehan says hes going to be a PR, KR, RB, WR, play him like a Marshall Faulk, in that he can be in so many positions.


I disagree with the selection, but, Linehan must have seen something in workouts....

[Mr Dio]

Nice DT picked by TENN.
C'mon Boys, get some DT, any DT, ....

[Horry For 3!]

Linehan says hes going to be a PR, KR, RB, WR, play him like a Marshall Faulk, in that he can be in so many positions.


I disagree with the selection, but, Linehan must have seen something in workouts....
They were talkin about him being a Randel El type. Because he played QB and WR in college.

[T Park]

WTF RAMS?!?!? We need offensive lineman and Defensive lineman and take a midget version of Antwaan Randle El?!??!


:)

[Horry For 3!]

Cowboys have the pick 13th (182nd overall) in this round

[T Park]

The freakin Rams I think might be on a roll, the Patriots were looking at this kid to be a Randle El type. Im gonna quit bitching and defer to Linehan, dudes obviously got his scouts lookiing in the right places.


Albert Breer/ Daily News staff wrote:
Over the last two years, the Patriots have played the Steelers three times. And on each occasion, college quarterback-turned-receiver Antwaan Randle El has broken off a big play on New England.

Now, the team is taking a look delving into a Randle El project of their own.

The Daily News has learned that Patriots officials traveled to Charlottesville, Va. to conduct a private workout with Virginia quarterback Marques Hagans, who projects to be either a receiver or third-down back in the NFL. The 5-foot-9<+>3<+>/<->8<->, 202-pounder was a two-year starter for former Bill Belichick staffmate Al Groh and the Cavaliers.

"Different teams are looking at him different ways," said agent Vance Malinovic. "A lot of them are looking at him in the Randle El capacity, and I can see how they would."

A highly-efficient college passer -- he compiled a 62 percent completion percentage in his final two seasons after replacing the Falcons' Matt Schaub at UVA -- Hagans could slide into the slot receiver/return man role that Randle El filled in Pittsburgh. He isn't regarded as being as explosive as the new Redskin, but the 4.5 he clocked at his pro day proved he possesses receiver speed.

His vision and instincts as a runner -- shown scrambling in college -- and quick feet, balance and body control are all plusses, and Malinovic says Hagans has little reservation about changing positions.

With the departure of Andre' Davis and Tim Dwight, the Patriots could use a versatile player of Hagans' ilk and could have him in the sixth or seventh round.

[Horry For 3!]

Cowboys on the clock.....

[T Park]

taking the first pick out of the equation,

how has the Texan's draft been in you guy's opinion?

[Mr Dio]

a DT, Thank You God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Horry For 3!]

taking the first pick out of the equation,

how has the Texan's draft been in you guy's opinion?
Besides people saying shit, like AHF (dumbass) because of Texans not getting Reggie Bush. The Texans draft has been very productive and will be great for the team.

[scott]

Montavious... 6-2 315 lbs... he'll find a way onto the roster behind Thomas "Pepper" Johnson.

[Horry For 3!]

Cowboys select Montavious Stanley DL Louisville with their 6th round pick.

[T Park]

damn how could you NOT like a guy named Montavious.

Id draft the guy on name alone.

[T Park]

Isn't that the lineman that Kiper had as best available?


Cowboys IMO, are quietly having a very good draft.

[gmanrulz]

im looking at some mock drafts now and some of the more recent ones have wright as late first or early second round pick

[Horry For 3!]

Packers get Johnny Jolly


I have noticed that the Packers like A&M players

[gmanrulz]

and lions like texas players. past few years theyve drafted a lot of them. for ex. rod babers, roy williams, johnathon scott, dd lewis, cory redding...

[Mr Dio]

Isn't that the lineman that Kiper had as best available?


Cowboys IMO, are quietly having a very good draft.


Yeah, that's him.

I'd like an extra DT just for a little depth.

[Horry For 3!]

and lions like texas players. past few years theyve drafted a lot of them. for ex. rod babers, roy williams, johnathon scott, dd lewis, cory redding...
Yeah, I noted that in the beginning of this thread. As Michael Huff was projected to go to the Lions but Raiders took him because Vince Young went to the Titans.

[TheTruth]

What position is Rodrique Wright?



The Rams would be smart to trade up and get Rodrique Wright.

They can still use all the defensive help they can spare.
:lol :spin :lmao

[T Park]

If I were Linehan, id go DL or OL the rest of the way.

Solid to OK draft so far.

[Mr Dio]

Any of you read what the top tier UDFAs were getting for signing bonuses?
I want to say the top 3 get something like $25-50K. Not bad for someone that wasn't drafted.

[T Park]

Well Truth, if youd look, I posted the second thing, AFTER, someone mentioned he was defense.

People here said Wright is good.


Rams need good defenders.


Sorry if you find that funny.

Have a nice day.

[Mr Dio]

So Boys still #211 & #224.

I bet JJ gives one of the top 3 signing bonuses for an UDFA as well.

[Mr Dio]

With all the talk of character in the NFL Rod Wright is a solid citizen.
Would be a good fit fot a teams DT rotation. Unsure if he'd play more than 10-15 plays a game the 1st 2 yrs or so but could be a good reserve.

[Mr Dio]

I don't know what it is Corso, but I hope the Cowboys take a chance on REGGIE MCNEAL!!


Or the QB from Tx St..Maybe they'll be 2 of the top UDFA?

[gmanrulz]

what about that really good kicker from ohio state, has he been drafted? cuz ive noticed a couple other kcikers have been drafted already

[gmanrulz]

would be nice to get a good young kicker since jagt is 36

[gmanrulz]

Anyone know anything about this coleman kid?

marcus? hes a good solid player, nice pickup

[gmanrulz]

oh dont know bout that guy

[Mr Dio]

OK, might take a 30min nap & wake-up for the Boys' pick.

Someone call me & wake me up if you see my name called!

[scott]

Tampa finds a replacement for Chrissy Simms!!! GRADKOWSKI WILL OWN.

[Mr Dio]

How Do You Spell Dio Corso


Did u hear the comment McNeal made about Peyton & other QBs?

[Mr Dio]

I have to try & find it online, it was a ridiculous comment.

[scott]

If Reggie McNeal's awesome success in Aggieland is any indication... he's right... :lol

[scott]

Something to the effect of the Peyton Mannings of the world being "a dying breed of QB"

[Mr Dio]

wHAT"D HE SAY??!!


That the Peyton Mannings (& Tom Bradys) of the NFL are a thing of the past, it's all about mobility.

That may be a word or 2 off but that is the gist.

[Horry For 3!]

Bengals get Reggie McNeal


He won't see much time there with Carson being the QB

[scott]

Carson won't be back for the start of the season... Reggie could get a chance to at least be the backup QB... Bengals have Anthony Wright as their number two behind Palmer.

[Mr Dio]

OK, Boys up next.

Rod Wright?

[gmanrulz]

Something to the effect of the Peyton Mannings of the world being "a dying breed of QB"

thats true for college football but definitely not in the pros

[scott]

You tell me Texas fans... can Rod Wright put on 20 pounds? If not, I don't think he fits into a 3-4 scheme.

[Horry For 3!]

Cowboys on the clock...

[gmanrulz]

wrights bigger than dibbles though

[Horry For 3!]

With the 3rd pick in the 7th round the Cowboys select....


Pat McQuistan

[Horry For 3!]

Cowboys pick an OT

[Mr Dio]

You tell me Texas fans... can Rod Wright put on 20 pounds? If not, I don't think he fits into a 3-4 scheme.

He can, but I'd hate for him to lose any quickness.

OK, D took an OT.

1 pick left.

[scott]

An Offensive Tackle From Weber State!!!!!!!!! Whooooooooooooooo Oooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

[Mr Dio]

TENN has 4 picks left.

3 will prob be on the DL.

[Horry For 3!]

I guess Paul and Pat McQuistan are twins.

I got confused, I was like how did we get McQuistan if he was taken by the Raiders but we got Pat

[Horry For 3!]

McQuistan played along side his twin brother Paul on the left side. He originally signed at WSU along with his brother, but elected not to play football. He had a change of heart in 2003 and came back and red-shirted. He play in 10 games at both guard and tackle as a junior and started all 11 games at left guard in 2005.
Yup, twins.

[gmanrulz]

so i gues dibbles prob wont get drafted?

[scott]

Fred Evans representing Texas State!!!

[Horry For 3!]

Oh shit, Fred Evans TxState went to Miami


My friend is good friends with him

[Horry For 3!]

I bet she is exstatic right now, I'll have to call her up in a bit

[Mr Dio]

Mutua, hmmm

[Mr Dio]

or is it Matua?

[scott]

Texas might have been able to beat OU in 2004 if they had Fred Evans instead of Rod Wright. :)

[gmanrulz]

wright isnt even on kipers 6 best available list

[Horry For 3!]

Mutua, hmmm
That OL was projected to be better than Lutui and he went to the Cardinals in the early 2nd

[Mr Dio]

I guess it is Matua

[scott]

NFL.com is getting blindsided by the storm of destruction that is Fred Evans. They have him listed as Ht: NA Wt: NA :lol

[Horry For 3!]

Now that you said something about him, Dio


Lions just got him

[Mr Dio]

Man, that was some story about the ranch the Croyles run.

[Horry For 3!]

NFL.com is getting blindsided by the storm of destruction that is Fred Evans. They have him listed as Ht: NA Wt: NA :lol
They had the same for Pat

[Mr Dio]

I think Det & AZ could both be .500 teams...especially AZ.

[scott]

Joe Gibbs comes out of the closet on ESPN?

[gmanrulz]

http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/profile.php?pyid=13165

have stanley rated as the 6th best DT in draft

[Horry For 3!]

Arizona had a great draft this year

[Mr Dio]

Joe Gibbs comes out of the closet on ESPN?


He's comfy in his skin.

[Mr Dio]

Arizona had a great draft this year


Yeah, and they have the same staff as last yr.
Fitz should have a great yr with Edge taking an extra D player closer to the line.

[scott]

Sounded like he'd be move comfy pressed against Sean Salisbury's skin.

[Horry For 3!]

Cowboys last pick, comin up very soon

[scott]

Barrick Nealy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[scott]

Falcons pick DJ Shockley... good developmental pick in Rd 7... I forgot about DJ

[gmanrulz]

what about josh huston? hes supposed to be the best kicker in the draft and was projected in late 2nd early 3rd round

[Horry For 3!]

Cowboys on the clock....

[scott]

We just spent a bunch of money on a K and we probably won't carry 2 K's on the roster (assuming McBriar or whoever we get to punt can kickoff).

[Mr Dio]

Where will D go?
O or D? Line or backfield?

[Mr Dio]

OT, hmmm

[Horry For 3!]

With the 16th pick in the 7th round and the last pick the Cowboys select....


E.J. Whitley

[Horry For 3!]

OT from Tech..... interesting

[scott]

We have found Rob Pettiti's replacement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mr Dio]

I'll be checking online every hr on who is getting the biggest UDFA signing bonuses.
Anyone have a link to a good site on immediate UDFA signings?

[scott]

NFL.com is listing Whitley as a C

[Horry For 3!]

We have found Rob Pettiti's replacement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whitley is a Center

[Horry For 3!]

E.J. Whitley
6-6 293 lbs

Scouting Report

Pros: Whitley is a tall, angular left tackle who has very long arms. His sound technique and huge size allow him to overcome only slightly better-than-average athleticism. He relies on smarts, sound positioning and technique to gain a fast advantage. He has developed into a good pass protector using those skills, despite only adequate quickness, speed and athletic ability. He shows the ability to easily slide along the line. He has good size with the long reach, flexibility, footwork and functional strength to start in the NFL. He has graded out much higher over his career as a pass protector than a run blocker after playing in an offense that seldom ran the ball.
Cons: As a run blocker, he needs to develop more explosiveness and drive off the ball. He has only adequate footwork for the outside. He lacks a powerful surge at the point of attack and relies more on finesse. As a drive blocker, he lacks the strong leg drive to grade out high consistently - it is an area that needs development. He must learn to sustain and finish his run blocks better and show a nasty disposition more often.
Numbers: At the Combine he ran the 40-yard dash in 5.38 seconds with a 25” vertical jump and an 8’5” broad jump. He did 16 reps of the 225-pound bench press.
Skinny: After an average performance at the Senior Bowl, he projects only to the late rounds is not a prospect with a clearly defined position. Solid collegiate tackle with NFL starting ability in time, but he needs improvement. He is a marginal top-200 prospect and will fall to the late rounds.

[Horry For 3!]

He only did 16 reps of 225 lbs, :wtf

[gmanrulz]

do teams sign UDFA right away?

[scott]

Looks like more tackle size than C... 16 reps on the bench? That is LenDale weak.

[scott]

I'm out... a good draft for the boys... potentially 5 starters if you count KR/PR.

[Horry For 3!]

He is listed as a C but seems like he will be playing OT.

[Horry For 3!]

Rod Wright FINALLY goes.... to Miami

[Horry For 3!]

Miami gets Fred Evans and Rod Wright

[gmanrulz]

stupid cowboys

[Mr Dio]

do teams sign UDFA right away?


In many cases just minutes after the draft the UDFA's agent is receiving offers from diff teams.

[Horry For 3!]

Barrick Nealy still on the board

[T Park]

what did you fall off the planet Horry for 3? :lol

[Horry For 3!]

Hmmm, so did Philly have on of the top 3 drafts?

[IceColdBrewski]

Hmmm, so did Philly have on of the top 3 drafts?

I think so. At least on paper anyway. I couldn't believe Bunkley was still there at 15. Considering he was rated as a top 15 talent, Justice was steal in the second. I didn't get the Gocong pick in the 3rd, but after watching the film on him, I undertood. Jiles in the 4th was another big steal. Bloom is lightning quick.

[Horry For 3!]

Eagles had a good draft.


My mom's friend is a scout for the Eagles, so I am sure he is satisfied with it.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

paper, corso!

[Mr Dio]

Yeah, there have been some real big flops in the NFL but something about that Bloom kid. He is a weasel with serious speed & NO FEAR.
Specials Teams play being a huge part of today's game I'm suprised he lasted that long for teams that didn't have too many serious needs.
