    Mo Claiborne: I'd love to be 2-way player

    Some snaps at WR? Maybe in a few years... maybe. The tougher question - do you have him return kicks/punts next year? If so, under what circumstances?

    Sturm: Considering Cowboys' alternatives to Claiborne

    His logic can get a bit tortured, but I think it is a good read. I don't think it was a terrible move to trade up for Claiborne, but I'd feel better about the team overall if the interior OL were in better shape. In Deion Sanders' 5 seasons in Atlanta, they had a winning record only once...

    What we learned from the draft

    It is clear that Garrett has a whole lot of influence. However, that isn't the same thing as "being in charge."

    Archer: 5 Wonders: Mo returns, Carter's future

    Seems like over-thinking to me. If Jones said they would have taken Wagner, and yet they didn't, maybe that means the team likes Carter enough not to draft Wagner (after all, they didn't draft Wagner).

    Graziano: I have no idea what the Cowboys are doing

    I'm disappointed that the Cowboys strategy for the interior OL appears to be to accumulate a bunch of spare parts and then hold "a competition." It is as much a prayer as a plan, IMO. But I do like Garrett's general philosophy of assembling highly motivated players with requisite talent...

    Cowboys select Morris Claiborne

    Jerry has 100% of the final say ... but sure, he listens and often defers to others.

    Rapid reaction: WR Danny Coale, Virginia Tech

    Danny Coale ... it'd be great if he turns out to be a reliable option. Romo needs a few more of those. I'm over Ogletree. I just don't think he has it. Radway is very intriguing.

    Boys sign Memphis G- Ronald Leary,Jerry beaming

    I guess signing Leary is a good thing, but you aren't exactly stocked with talent when you find yourself counting on a rookie with an undraftworthy knee to "contribute immediately." Jerry's "relief" at signing Leary tells you what Jerry really thinks about the Cowboys' situation at guard.

    Explain to me the lack of OL/DL picks

    Two Centers and two Guards were picked between the Cowboys' 3rd round pick and the Cowboys' first 4th round pick. I found that disappointing while I was watching the draft. Who knows? Could be that one of these guys would have been picked had they been around. (Listening to the day three...

    Is it me, or is Stephen Jones becoming more vocal?

    Yeah, his dad is sharing the microphone more than before. There was a point in one of the draft press conferences (after the 2nd evening?) that Stephen joked about holding a gun on his Dad so his Dad wouldn't trade any of next year's picks for picks in the current draft. Obviously there...

    Closer look at the trade

    I do watch a lot of SEC football. Claiborne is outstanding and his ball skills are a great asset. ... my reservation about selecting Claiborne doesn't involve Claiborne's skills. I'm more concerned that the NFL pass interference rules prevent great CBs from realizing their full potential. I...

    Closer look at the trade

    Right. I think the good news is that the Cowboys didn't get hosed on the deal. Personally I'd have preferred a different allocation of the resources ... but at least the Cowboys got value for their resources. Far better than reaching for a player, for example. I'm not convinced that...

    Cowboys select Morris Claiborne

    I'm a little disappointed. ... is Claiborne really so much better than Jenkins that the upgrade is worth two other high quality rookies? (Certainly doesn't say much about Jenkins and the Cowboys' decision to draft him.)

    Saints GM a spy

    I hope so. If Loomis actually did this, he'd deserve whatever he gets.

    What is your message board history/ experience?

    You signed me up too. When I heard you had been banned from CZ, it was a last straw for me. The cult of personality over there finally wore me out. I asked around. CLab mentioned this place as one where bb posted. So I decided to give it a try.

    What is your message board history/ experience?

    I started on USENET too, Fred. In the early 90's. There was a general NFL discussion group where I posted often under a different username. I do remember your posts/contributions during USENET years. Some people here may not know it, but you are a true historian of the team. You've been...

    PREDICTIONS:Cowboys 2012 schedule

    Thanks, I appreciate your welcome and those of others who have offered them in posts and/or pm's. I think most defenses stink in today's league, mostly because they aren't allowed to play pass defense anymore. For the most part, the best you can hope for is a DB who can catch a poorly thrown...

    PREDICTIONS:Cowboys 2012 schedule

    I have mixed feelings about MartyB too. But I do believe the 2nd TE is an important position for Garrett's offense and now that MartyB is gone (for better or for worse), it is important for the team to acquire a high quality 2nd TE.

    Rang Big Board Top 64- Barron now top-10

    It is true that the draftniks say that Fletcher popped on tape. But he didn't pop so much during games to this average fan. He certainly had some outstanding plays in which he flashed a lot of ability. Clearly he looks to have NFL talent. Obviously he has an NFL body. But I'd tap the breaks...
