Question: I know the draft is months away, but the only positions that I would draft for are: Defensive End, Defensive Tackle, Cornerback and Safety, in that order. No other positions … agree?
Bob Sturm: For me, DE, Safety, and then best difference maker regardless of position. LB, CB, DT, RB, or even QB. I now have a good foundation and need to keep adding difference makers. I am planning a thorough review of the prospects starting immediately.
Looks like they are getting the coaching staff signed to new contracts. I think it would have been a disaster if they had let Marinelli get away.
So did you see that they let DeMarco Murray go to the Eagles and signed McFadden to take his place?
Also seen Greg Hardy is negotiating with an "unknown" team for his services, wonder if it's with the Cowboys since they could use someone like him and might be willing to take a chance on him?
Since his cap hit is only $2.5 million they just might try to find another D lineman via free agency, like BJ Raji maybe...
And since they signed Hardy this would let them draft a RB in the 1st round if a good one (like Todd Gurley) fell to them at 27. But I still think they should draft "D" players the first 2 rounds and then look for a RB in 3 or 4.
No I didn't read it but can guess the gist of it from the wording. People are blasting Garrett for saying he wanted players of good character and those whining think Hardy doesn't have good character. They also think this was Jerry's doing and that Garrett should have stood up to him and told him he didn't want Hardy. These same people are highly pissed they "DIDN'T" overpay to keep Murray and so think this signing was all a big mistake.
Since they picked up Hardy the need for a DL isn't as great I think they will draft a corner in the 1st if a good one is available.
I think they are going to try to get Bryce Petty (Baylor QB) in the draft this year, he's ranked 91 and the boys draft at 91 (3rd round). On the other hand they might go after Petty in the 2nd round (just to ensure they get him) since there a bunch of RBs available in the 3rd (which they need also).
After that they will draft a PK/KR and a bunch of the best defenders available, in which order well I have no clue.
(Moved this from the Tebow thread to here).
CB 1st round - Check... Byron Jones
2nd round - Latest I have seen is Mike Mayock (who is usually pretty accurate) has Petty up to 68 (from 91) and Dallas has the 60 spot, so if they are gonna take him it will be in the 2nd now. They could trade back a couple of spots to get an extra pick and still get Petty. On the other hand there are a couple of Defensive Linemen right around the 60 pick so they might go there instead.
3rd round - I still think they will go RB here cause so many are available BTA there are some good LBs available too so that could be a toss up.
I'm hearing another defensive pick in second round. Jerrah was quoted as saying he is banking on Romo being around another 5 years. That's insane. We shall see tomorrow night.

Wouldn't surprise me and wouldn't hurt my feelings especially if they are serious about making the run this year instead of next.
There are a few more QBs out there they could take (in the 4th or so) who would be a couple of year project like Romo was so that may work out for them. But they haven't kept 3 QBs in a while so don't know what they'll decide. Especially if they have to use 2 people to replace Harris skillset, WR, KR and Gunner.
