    Now that Ezekiel Elliot is here...

    This is all so tough. We all know now where Henry was actually taken, but we didn't know before. Some mocks had Henry being taken by the Panthers in the 1st round. The Cowboys chased several QB's this draft, but for better or for worse, they missed on 2 or 4 of them (depending on when you start...

    Is MNF still a thing anymore?

    New year, new doll...I mean action figure!

    . Yeah, not a fan of 21 for Elliott. 33 or 34 would work. I could go for 41 or 43 too. FWIW, I like Dak's 4. Much better than Reggie Collier's 10. It isn't in Dak's interest to remind anyone of Reggie Collier (although there are some parallels).

    New year, new doll...I mean action figure!

    Never understood the interest in these action figures, but won't judge those who like them. Yes on the pants. Let's go easy on the voodoo dolls. Super Bowl V still stings a bit for me.

    Looking back at the Cowboys' draft, Jalen Ramsey really never had a chance at No. 4

    Is Miles Jack worth the risk in the 2nd round?

    He was delivering the sausage ... to yo momma.

    Cowboys are ready to develop QB they have confidence in

    If every time a QB were drafted in the 4th or later round, you could get an even money bet that the QB in question would not develop into a quality NFL starter, you'd become a wealthy person betting against the QBs. You wouldn't win all of the time, but you'd win almost all of the time. So...

    Now that Ezekiel Elliot is here...

    He'll start. It could be Week 1 or it could be Week 6, but he'll become the starter. If Garrett wants to avoid overworking the rookie by giving McFadden and Morris some snaps, I don't think that's a bad thing, especially as the Elliott gets acclimated to the playbook and the speed of the game...

    Jerry's story about the Ravens - my first reaction was, shit, if I were the Ravens I'd be pissed that Jerry was relaying a private conversation about what we wanted to do in the draft. Given how secretive teams want to be at draft time, it would seem like a significant breech of trust. So for...

    If I had only two choices at 34 ... picking Henry or Jaylon Smith ... I think I'd pick Henry. The 3 year contract going to the guy who'll miss the first year, take the second year to get up to speed, and then has a good third year, just in time for free agency when another team makes him a...

    Is Miles Jack worth the risk in the 2nd round?

    Off topic, but ... Have you ever walked by a new store, thought "Huh, that looks interesting," then walked into the store, looked around, and then thought "I don't like this stuff. It must be the wrong place for me," but instead of walking out of the store, you tell people in the store how...

    Do we go with four running backs next year?

    I wish Dunbar well, but in a different uniform. I've never been a big fan of using a roster spot on him ... his role was almost always tangential and at the cost of something more fundamental.

    Yeah. I don't think the team is rudderless. My guess is that there are too many rudders in the water. I assume that Stephen won the RB decisions last year (on the grounds of fiscal responsibility and his fixation with "value"). This year Garrett was in the enviable position of having to...

    Many years ago, before Midswat was eating solid food, Tony Dorsett was a rookie and it was Landry's responsibility to phase Dorsett into the offense. Landry was patient and conservative. ... and during that first season it seemed to take forever before Dorsett got much playing time. I don't...

    I wonder what the aggressive attempt for Lynch says about what the Cowboys think about the next two QB prospects, if anything. Maybe it says more about the potential problems of drafting a developmental QB as a backup on a 3 yr contract. I'd rather go with a defensive player myself. At least...

    Check out the post-Zeke press conference on dc.com. Garrett (and Jerry) were saying all of the right things about the importance of a dominating running game. We'll see what happens, but they sounded like believers last night.

    I'm relieved that the Cowboys got a top notch RB to go along with their top notch OL. To have one without the other would be a waste. Elliott didn't come cheap and a lot of folks are concerned that he wasn't a "value pick." Fair enough. Reasonable people can disagree on the importance of...

    Two hopes for today - 1. Cowboys get DL help. Twice, even. 2. Derrick Henry doesn't go to an NFC East team.

    Ezekiel Elliot

    I don't know you well, so perhaps I shouldn't be so presumptuous as to offer unsolicited opinions on intensely personal decisions, but I think you should give some serious thought about using the above quote on your tombstone. It's poetry.
