[quote=FRPLG;1005599]I can't get past the EJ Manuel pick...what a terrible decision. They genuinely scared they couldn't get him in the 2nd?. What a waste of value[/quote]

Agreed.

Even if scared, trade down and pick up the extra pick. Even if you fire sale it ([I]see Oakland[/I]), get what you can. Who was picking a QB after them? All the teams needing QB's are at the top of the draft - tonight, we could get 4 or 5 QB's in the first 15 picks.

I kind of hope not, I want a solid QB to be there when we select so that we can move back a bit.

Every time I see Garrett with Jones, it's like Buffalo Bob and Howdy Doody.

Yeah, I hope Smith is sitting there when we are on the clock.

We need to figure out how to keep JJ alive forever...he is a menace to that team. They will never be actually successful with him at the helm. What a s*** show he is.

Even the way that he answers the first question makes him seem like hes a bit senile.

"That's not accurate. We actually did better than the chart" Holy bull sh*t batman!

I mean that chart is dumb anyways but like NC said they outright fabricated some straight lunacy right there.

Either way I think it's a win for us. A run on QB's means lots of talent for us to choose from or as trade bait for others wishing to move up. No QB run creates a lot of pressure and trade potential.

Actually, I am thinking the way the first played out really helps us. Most of the safety and cornerback talent still up there. Lots of offense attractive to other teams. Only O-line and D-line have been picked over at this point. While we have a need at RT, don't think anyone is worth our second right now given the other talent on the board. I see a bunch of trades as teams start looking for point producers.

I agree about the 1st round, I think it will leave us with some good choices at 51. I could see us using a late round pick to jump up before the cowboys, because they will be looking at similar positions as us. In terms of the RT, if Armstead is there, I think he would be a good fit and reasonable value at 51.

So, a center was the Cowboys highest rated player on their board when the 31st pick came up. I'm digging the direction Dallas seems to be heading. LOL

I don't where to put this but:

Peter King and SI.com in general should stay behind a key board and not in front of a camera.

Peter King is so painful to watch, though I enjoy his writing.

Not thinking it's a stellar pick, but, their OL was awful last year, so if this helps them protect Romo, then it might work for them. And the saddest part is we probably won't get any more of this :(

This is very true. And I completely agree, the first round probably couldn't have played out better for us than it did.
