Get back to me in five years.

Richardson no doubt had a higher grade than Murray or Felix. What the hell, let's draft him too. We can throw 8.8 million at Spencer but not find a creative way to keep Jenkins? Nor is it a fait accompli that he'd be paid more than Carr. And Jenkins was a cheap alternative compared to...

Fine. Claiborne's a Cowboy now and I hope he does well. If not, I won't come back here screaming "I told you so!" Well, maybe just a little. I just think our resources could have been better allocated.

Ten bucks says he pushed instead of pulled that door handle.

I'd have to see how he performs this year, but the Cowboys seem to have already have made up their minds. Paying two corners top $ isn't any more insane than paying two o-linemen handsomely. You think LT was the only Giants linebacker making good money in their heyday?

But he doesn't have to be "gone." By trading him or letting him go after 2012, they create an unnecessary need. We had bigger fish to fry than cornerback. So now we have the same old safeties, an erratic slot defender like Scandrick, and a draft pick who may or may not be better than Jenkins.

Starters Webster and Thomas were second rounders. Prince and Phillips were first rounders. If they sacrificed a second round pick for any of these guys, that's news to me.

Then find a Corey Webster type that won't cost you an arm and a leg and instead address bigger needs.

Forget the squandered second rounder. It wouldn't have made sense even if we had the sixth pick all along. The G-men didn't need a "lockdown" corner to win another SB and neither do we. There were higher priorities.

Nor sure how much of that was on Jenkins' tab. In terms of culprits, he'd be last on the list. Newman Scandrick Elam Sensabaugh Jenkins

I don't see it. He's a prospect, not a proven commodity. For most teams with their act together, Carr + Jenkins would be more than sufficient to win a title. Now we have Carr + Claiborne but the same old problems in other areas of the team. In that sense, drafting Claiborne is like putting brand...

Close. We lost a high pick and possibly Jenkins to boot, so unless Claiborne is twice the player Jenkins is (doubtful), you're merely running in quicksand.

Did you read Sturm's writeup today? It's hard to get better when you keep replacing young guys you drafted three or four years ago. If Jenkins were a flat out bust or TO-like malcontent, I could see making this move, but I still see a leaky o-line, an inept pass-rush, and non-playmaking safeties.

I wanna hear that Goose screed. He no doubt praised the Cowboys for landing one of the few blue-chippers in the draft, but probably bashed them for overpaying or targeting the wrong position or something. Does Norm release podcasts on his site?

CB was a luxury, not a pressing need. Could the G-men have won a championship with Carr and Jenkins in their secondary last year? No reason to believe otherwise.

And Brad and Babe gave it their seal of approval. I'm shocked.

Funny how Jenkins became the red-headed stepchild seemingly overnight. We all agreed that the problem last year was Newman, Scandrick and the safeties, not Jenks (save for his injuries). We're trying to fix a problem at CB that didn't exist. This is like trading up to draft Richardson despite...
