I missed all the fun last night.

No one's bitching? Go check out the draft chatter thread then see if you still think that. Comparing this trade to the Quincy Carter trade was just being philosophical, I guess.

And since you called me zrnkill, am I supposed to call you casmith? cowboyjoe maybe? Let me know.

lol

Wasn't him.

Apparently 2 execs think Dallas could get a 4th for Jenkins.

Would you guys do it for that?

Yes I would. That 4th rounder could turn out to be a solid contributor for the next 10 years.

NO.

But it would be interesting to see what was available in the draft at that exact moment. I mean if we flipped him for blake or broyles that would be good for us.

but if we moved him and took some half ass safety/kick returner we then cut in august that would be just plain stupid.

I wouldn't either. I'm not really in love with any prospect right now. (I'm assuming Derek Wolfe, Silatolu, Fleener, Konz go in the top 10 of round 2)

I WAS DRUNK, OKAY??

Common message board issue similar to real life girlfriends. The one who seem chill/fun usually have this batshit crazy/psycho side where they flip out in drafts and gameday threads.

Iamtdg is good for a fuck or two, but we can't get attached. Sigh.

Fact of the matter is there were 5-6 elite players in this draft that we all assumed we weren't going to have a shot at. We had to try to convince ourselves that we could get competent starters at 14 and 45 and it would be some consolation to not having one of the elites. We had to talk up DeCastro, Barron, Cox, etc. so we would feel okay with whatever happened at 14. We saw some depth in DL and OL positions and hoped we could get one of those depth guys that would work out at 45. We got attached to those guys who we had a realistic shot of getting.

The Cowboys exceeded our expectations. We got one of the elite players at a position we have had way too much trouble filling. Newman was the last CB taken this high, but he wasn't as highly touted as Claiborne. Claiborne represents the most talent we've had at CB in almost 20 years.

But because we're not getting two players, some are trying to discount the pick. It cost us too much. To have this mindset you have to assume that we would have hit at 14 and 45, and that those picks would have turned into DeMarcus Ware and Sean Lee and not Bobby Carpenter and Martellus Bennett/Anthony Fasano. Ware and Lee have been the exception for this team. This team usually sees underachievers at the mid to late first round and second round. Go back and take a look at our drafts. Our second round picks before Sean Lee were all decidedly terrible. You have to go back to 2002 to find a 2nd rounder who contributed for more than a couple of years, and that's just Gurode. Before that, you have to go back to Flozell Adams.

And our mid-to-late first rounders?

Dez (who was top 10 talent)
Felix
Jenkins
Spencer
Carpenter
Spears
Ekuban

Geesh.

Of course, lower picks always have a higher bust potential. Hopefully we took that shitty history of ours, and that higher chance for failure, out of the equation.

I don't flip out over games. I have gotten very apathetic when it comes to the actual games themselves. For some reason I haven't been able to achieve apathy when it comes to the draft. Maybe, it's because there is that tiny sliver of hope that we will do what's right instead of what we have always done. I don't know. But, I still do tend to flip out when it comes to the draft, but I'm getting counseling, so please don't break up with me just yet. I'm trying, I promise.

I don't trust Jerry with one high pick, muchless two.
