Bobby Carpenter

Is it too early to start wondering if Dallas wasted a pick on this kid? Maybe not in terms of his talent, but in his usefulness to the team.

[Horry For 3!]

I have no idea but we are stacked at LB so who knows when he will get his chance.

[King]

Agreed. It's hard to say, because they're stacked at linebacker. Who would you play Carpenter over? He'll probably be a decent LB, but never a perennial pro-bowler.

[T Park]

I believe in the draft thread didn't you keep saying

carpentercarpentercarpenter ?? :)

[scott]

It was more like...

CAAAAAAAAAAAAARPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEN TERRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but yeah...

[Horry For 3!]

I liked Manny Lawson and Bobby Carpenter, so I was happy.

the more time he has to develop, the better. brady james came along quite well with limited pt his first year or two. he'll get his shot.

[T Park]

Whoever the next FA is at LB, he will fill in for him when someone overpays the current LB on the market.

[kskonn]

well I think he will be fine, but AJ hawk is looking more and more like a bust every day.

I see that point, but Brady James was a 4th round pick, not the #18 overall.

if he steps up when he gets his shot, it will be ok. i see what you're saying but i think the boys are solid at LB this year, no hurt in him working hard on special teams and playing when he can. grabbing an offensive lineman if a good one was available may have been a better choice, but time will tell.

[BeerIsGood!]

Drafting O linemen late in the first round is like playing russian roulette with a full chamber. Nothing good can come of it.

[scott]

Well, Carpenter has been inactive for 2 of 3 games which is an effort of Jacobs/Peterman proportions.
