Shanahan: Williams is a natural for zone-blocking scheme

[GTripp0012]

Buffalo is w/o a plan at QB, might meet the price of a third rounder for Campbell.

I would, if I could, try to pick in both the 2nd and 3rd round. I think we can probably get high enough to get McCoy with that 2011 first rounder, and I'm thinking Campbell can probably net a third at this point.

Go from no picks tomorrow to two like that.

Yeah, I'm starting to feel better about this pick. Hope we can motivate this dude to hit the weight room and work his butt off. Maybe Shanahan & Allen will be able to slip in a bunch of incentives into the contract.

And we can still pick up free agents for left or right tackle and fill Williams in the other spot. Versatility is invaluable. Anyone for Flozell??

Ehhh. Lets see if we can't get GTripp's guy, Edwin Veldheer (T Hillsdale) when we pick in the 4th.

You know what's a weird strategy, identifying a need on your team and drafting to fill that need. It is really an alien concept around here.

It's effective to a point. For example the way we did it tonight was a more then acceptable way to fill a need through the draft. The way the Jags did it....not so much.

Congratulations to Allen & Shanahan for having just finished making their 1st (and so far) only draft pick for the Washington Redskins. If the coaching staff is happy with the selection then who am I to disagree? I'm glad he's a player they feel fits their scheme and hope he can be as successful as the man he's replacing.

If they like him, I love him....right position, right player!!

He also has his High School and College Teammates to get him focused. I grew up near Longveiw and like any small town in Texas their is a real since of family and Im glad he has 3 teammates from their so his transition goes smooth.

Texans make the best football players.

Is he really going to be around that much? I'm more worried about Forestor not succeeding as our line coach and then having us going out and getting Tom Cable as our O-Line coach. God knows he isn't going to survive after this season. The Rolando McClain pick is the first sign that a competent person is running the Raiders.

Yeah F**K Dallas. You seen they picked Dez Bryant(Texas Failure), just because Randy Moss was past on so long ago . Talking about having blinders on S.Bradford and D.Bryant didnt even play this year but they go so high go figure.

Arizona is the only team I've really been able to see that stocked up on pass catchers and received any real benefit. Dez Bryant is basically a locker room time bomb. Now personally I consider Ray Lewis a bomb disposal expert so if Baltimore had selected him then that would have been a great pick, but put him in a Dallas locker room that just got over not having T.O. there and you hopefully have a locker room implosion. Of course if he develops it'll be dangerous for us, but I'm hoping for another Charles Rogers.

Great line! Sooooooo Dallas should really find a way to acquire Ray Lewis

Is that because he jumps on the pile after a tackle has already been made?

I like it how very few people are mentioning that basically Jones has given up on Roy Williams and we can call that trade a colossal failure.

Yeah, Jerry Jones just needs one more stamp on his draft card to qualify for Matt Millen status.

Whether it's the tackle people want or not it's refreshing to see that we're picking guys that aren't just very good at their position, but fit in with what we need, something we haven't seen for awhile.
