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.

Also speculation for drafting needs has begun.

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?

This is who they signed since they didn't want to spend the money on Murray.

http://www.dallasnews.com/sports/dallas-cowboys/headlines/20150318-cowboys-sign- controversial-defensive-end-greg-hardy.ece

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.

That about cover it?

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.

Nice move on Jones.

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.

What choice does he have considering Romo's contract has 5 years to go on it. $1M this year, 8.5M in 2016, 14M in 2017, 19.5M in 2018 and 20.5M in 2019.

It would be nice to see a vet at his age be able to play out his contract and actually earn the money he's being paid. Most of them are cut with a couple of years left and the team ends up having to absorb all that dead cap money.

But I'm like you I have my doubts that he will get past 2017, that will leave 40M in dead cap money... Not good...

Round two we went for more off field risk. Kid can't pass pot screening. Maybe he should have been drafted by Denver. The stuff is legal there.

High end OT in the third round. Guess they want to make the Off line that much more impregnable:)

Have to read the article why they did not grab a RB in the third round.

Looks like Hardy's long suspension did change their draft strategy after all, just like you suggested yesterday and it didn't surprise me either. But I would have never thought Gregory would have slipped that far (close to 50 slots) BTA maybe some of the other owners are learning from past mistakes. Speaking of past mistakes has Jerry learned from his and is this gonna be another one?? They do seem to be better at taking the best player available. And they do seem to be better with problem children take Dez for example.

You do know why they took the chance on Gregory, they think he was the best pass rusher available in the draft. Something they need very badly. Guess we'll see.

Round 2 - After you said they were going to go for a DE or DL on the 2nd I expected them to take Danielle Hunter, but he didn't go until the Vikings round 3 pick 24. (Slipped almost a full round from where he was projected).

Round 3 - I figured if they were gonna make a run at Petty it would be here if they were serious about getting a good young'un for down the road, cause he was supposed to go right at 91 and they were 91. I figured if that was all a bunch of crap (smokescreen) they would go for another DL, LB or RB not another OL. But since OL Jeremy Parnell signed with the Jaguars in the off season I knew they had to address the position just didn't think it would be there.

From what I'm reading about Green he seems to be able to play both tackle positions (which is invaluable) so I can see why they snagged him. He'll eventually take Free's RT job (Free had foot surgery and won't be ready until July) and can backup the LT position if Smith gets hurt.

Round 4 - So since I've been wrong on just about everything so far I wonder what this will bring? Maybe they'll do something really idiotic and draft a punter?? :)

There are still some good RBs available (some have slipped, BTA maybe Jerry wasn't bluffing he's not going to draft another RB) Petty is still out there, they still need another LB or 2, another WR, maybe another CB if they decide to cut Carr after 1 June.

Oh well guess we'll see what happens.

I wasn't paying too much attention to the draft with all the sports action going on (tabbed by some as "Sportsageddon")...but Hardy just tweeted an ill-advised joke about the 'Twin Towers' "crashing."

The guy may be a football player, but is in possession of a Stegosaurus brain.

Also apparently, Jones drafted another (I can't recall :-( yet another high-skill/"red flag" player. How did the Boys do in your respective opinion?

And Petty...goes to...THE JETS! (referred to in the New York Post as "polarizing.") Any idea why? (other than he's another 'Fundy'?) Finally it likes like the Jets make a good QB decision. After what they did to Tebow I've been pulling for them to crumble. But now I have to pull...for Petty.

LOL weren't we just talking about Petty's faith a few weeks ago. And the Jets go out and grab another "Fundie."

LOL.

tabbed by some as "Sportsageddon"

Yeah watched my Spurs lose with one second left. Borderline foul call in the last 8 seconds. Great bit of acting on the Clippers part. Not a big NBA guy but get swept up in Spurs fever where I live and when we lived in SA for a few months 5 summers ago.

Was not tracking the heavyweight fight until yesterday. I'm at the car wash and a youngster working there asked me who did I like.

Focus of Sportsageddon weekend was my son's opening day game. We won 12-2. Sonny boy knocked in 4 runs with a bases loaded line shot in the gap. OFs were playing too shallow so with his speed got an in the park HR. First at bat too. Then he drew a walk and scored a run from that. Big kid who pitches had no balls go out of the infield. Three ground balls for outs and one a throwing error. So no perfect game for him:) But a little league no hitter. Too many BBs though which accounts for one run. Good day until....

The coach of the other team calls time out, comes over to the ump and complains we are a "ringer" team and it was unfair to have all these great players. Ump explained to him the rosters are made by the city parks and rec and are fair and equitable. Funny part is this guy never complained when his son was on my team last year. I even emailed and texted the guy two months before the season to ask him if he wanted to help me coach. He never responded. I shook his hand and sat down with him between innings to see if he received my notes. He did. Seems he wanted to coach himself and rolled the dice and let the parks folks pick his roster.

After this age group (starting with 11 years old) the city runs a draft based on try outs. But for the younger kids parents can request the same coach each year with some exceptions. I think they allow only 6-7 of a 14 player roster to be retained. So I have coached some of the same kids since tball. So has 90% of the other coaches.

Yup, how 'bout that? Just talking about the guy. I guess his "potential" depends on how outspoken he is (or isn't) about Jesus.

Oh man. 8 secs on the clock? By a questionable foul? Sounds like something that Michael Jordan and the refs used to pull. Not a big NBA guy either...but of all the teams, the Spurs have adopted the concept of "teamwork" well. That's kinda fun to watch.

For anyone who remembers Tyson and before, THOSE fights were justifiable hype. Not this.

Hey -- nice day for Coach and his son! Inside the Park slam? 5 ribbie day? The pizza musta tasted good afterward ;-) Big kid pitchers who get shocked by getting bombed is a nice humbling experience.

Good day until....

The sore-loser coach who used to be a sore-loser bully. Seems there's one in every league every year. "Ringers"?? What a great compliment to you and your team, Coach! Lol. Instead of making a scene this guy should have just graciously tipped his cap to your team. Losing like a man is a lesson his kids would have benefited from. He sure had a short memory as his son was on your team last year.

I even emailed and texted the guy two months before the season to ask him if he wanted to help me coach. He never responded. I shook his hand and sat down with him between innings to see if he received my notes. He did. Seems he wanted to coach himself and rolled the dice and let the parks folks pick his roster.

Nice try Red. He wanted to be the boss.... and now blames "ringers" for a loss? Embarrassing. Some guys never learn how to man-up.

That sounds like a fair system, although I imagine some disappointment that all your guys can't remain with you. Your kids will learn a lot from you. About baseball. AND LIFE. Fortunately, my LL coach's temperament was probably a lot like yours. Today's boys more than ever need that example.

Aaaah...my bad. Thought sonny bopped his shot of "that" pitcher. Well the day was even better; star hurler AND hitter. Lol -- no wheels?? Man, what a scene -- you frantically cranking the arms (as third base coach?) as sonny is staggering toward home plate. Was there throw home? Did he have to slide?

Sorry I wrote as if you were 'there.':)

Big kid different kid than my son. My son is tall for his age (10) and thin (and has wheels:). The big kid is a bit chubby and very tall. Puts the smoke in the strike zone. His grandma is his guardian and she keeps a copy of his birth certificate in her purse as he has been challenged on his age by other coaches in the past.

So the big kid almost put one over the fence which is pretty Hooah for his age.

Did you see where the Cowboys signed undrafted free agent La'el Collins to a guaranteed 3 year contract. Kid was supposed to be a first round pick but went undrafted because there was talk he had a hand in the death of his girlfriend.

They sure are making a haul this year, this makes 3 guys who should have went in the 1st round. Albeit 2 of them may turn out to be big headaches BTA they may just work out. Oh well time will tell if they were good moves or not, if not minimal financial outlay..

Have found out they have signed 15 undrafted free agents but haven't found the full list will do some research tonight after work to see if I can find them all. One was a RB and another is a potential replacement for Harris, 5 WRs in all, don't know about QBs though.

Yes just read the article on Collins. He is not a suspect in that horrible shooting. Someone went in there to murder that woman...truly sad. She was 8 months pregnant and the child survived for a few days if I remember correctly.

DNA tests showed the kid was not Collins'.
