2013 NFL Draft Thread

[Bob Sacamano]

so we're counting on the same guys who drafted and extended Scandy to find his replacement. brilliant.

Yep. Just like you guys who are counting on the same FO to pluck a starting Oline out of the draft.

Escobar will eat Thomas alive. Who would have a tough time beating Church in a footrace, btw.

This is where I'd love to compare to other war room cams. When a trade is presented there has to be a discussion, but why are you trying to "sell" people on picks at this point. You should pretty much just go by your board. After months of discussion leading up to this, I don't see why there are so many last minute decisions.

Seems to happen every single year that a puppet head coach is here. JJ turns the draft into a huge dramatic reality show instead of what it's actually intended for.

I'm not upset with the picks, I just wish we had addressed the OL and DL more. Maybe even add another S.

I was about to post the same things after seeing some of the clips they played. He looks like he is stuck in the mud when he runs. I really had no idea he was that slow.

This draft is all about replacing high priced vets guys..are y'all blind?

Williams - Austin
Webb - scandrick
Esco - Witten

We don't have money...first two will be gone next year..Witten probably has more time than that

Is that what it's all about?

Shit, I was kind of hoping for a draft that would replace the shitty guys currently on the roster.

Austin isn't going anywhere next year. Cap hit of $7.8M to cut him, cap hit of $8.2M to keep him. If this team hadn't fucked around and restructured every year, his contract would be a steal from this point forward.

Without restructures, his cap hit next year is $5.5M....no cap hit to cut.

Without restructures, his cap hit in 2014 is $6.8M.....no cap hit to cut.

And Scandrick probably isn't going anywhere either. $5.7M to cut, $5.6M to keep. Could have cut him without restructuring. Would have been $1.2M to cut him after this year (as opposed to $4.1M to keep). $600K to cut him after next year, as opposed to $5.6M to keep.

And Witten? He's going to have to be dragged off the field. I bet he plays through Escobar's rookie contract.

Kirin was just on the radio saying he would like us to get linebacker help.

Broaddus said Monday there are a bunch of local guys and Udfa guys we really like at linebacker.

One was an smu lb, can't remember the name

 

[Cowboysrule122]

No Franklin for us.

I don't think that is what it was about at all.

I see Williams as playing the role Robinson did, Escobar replacing Bennett and Frederick replacing costa or livings.

I don't think Austin gets cut nor witten.

Yeah, I think Jerry gets a kick out of being the gatekeeper that everyone has to go and convince to take "their" guy. I think he enjoys sort of passing out picks, like Callahan, you got yours. Now Kiffin and Henderson, your turn. Etc.

 

[Theebs]

No Franklin for us.

Mickey said they want Taylor or gillislee.

 

[cmd34(work)]

^Marinelli must have not kissed the ring. He is being neglected.

 

[Cowboysrule122]

I'd be happy if we could draft Jesse Williams, DT, Alabama.

 

[Everlastingxxx]

It appears that the Cowboys are really sticking to their board...or are building a team like the old Manning Colts teams. High powered offense with a defense built to play with a lead. It does worry me they are not addressing the d-line.

 

[Hoofbite]

Go put your hand in a bucket we could use the wood to make a bridge

Seriously, what is it?

It looks like a pizza minus all the toppings that's oddly shaped with a single cut down the middle giving the thing the overall appearance of a sloppy, cellulose-filled, pockmarked ass.

 

[Cowboysrule122]

Mickey said they want Taylor or gillislee.

I'd rather have Taylor. I guess RB is our next pick?

 

[Cowboysrule122]

Dammit Gholston is gone.

 

[Everlastingxxx]

I don't think that is what it was about at all.

I see Williams as playing the role Robinson did, Escobar replacing Bennett and Frederick replacing costa or livings.

I don't think Austin gets cut nor witten.

I hope that is not the mentality. Drafting backups.

 

[Theebs]

Apparently he has a degenerative knee condition.

That's fucking depressing.
