I like the way that draft played out...I would be happy with DeCastro, Barron, Perry, or Brockers there.

I like all of these, except Dennard. Doubt we go Kuechly but like the player.

 

[carphalen5150]

I was secretly rooting for Mingo to come out this year.

Is Mark Barron really worth #16?

Whenever I think Alabama safety, I think Tony Dixon.

I think Barron's stock will go down after the Combine.

 

[Midswat]

I think Barron's stock will go down after the Combine.

Because of my Tony Dixon comparison?

If this really happened I would be losing my mind picks 10 through 14 sweating that no one takes DeCastro.

Not going to happen. All last year, Kiper was saying we would take Amukamara and then what happened? Branch has cracked the top 32.

True, but we did have strong interest in the kid nonetheless.

 

[VA Cowboy]

And then it falls just like this and we rejoice that DeCastro made it to our pick and the card goes up and we take....Dennard. :shootmeintheface

 

[LAZARUS_LOGAN]

How strong of an interest? I knew that the Cowboys would take Smith, right when Garrett went to Smith's pro day. That was the first and only pro day that Garrett had personally attended all offseason.

I got a fucking feeling that is exactly how it will go down.

You shut your dirty mouth Laz! You shut it!

There's no way to know exactly how strong. I just remember reading from a lot of different sources that we liked Smith, JJ Watt, Cameron Jordan, and Amukamera.

And while we did take Smith, we almost did trade down with Jacksonville.

 

[RoyTheHammer]

No Dont'a Hightower in the first round? I'd be happy to take him in the second.

 

[marionbarberthe4th]

3 of cr's mocked players are in there

 

[marionbarberthe4th]

Is Houston really that loaded that they can take a WR?

We need to replenish the front 7

 

[VA Cowboy]

Mel is actually better at rating players than matching them with a team. But I hope he is right in this case.

Believe me I hope like hell I am wrong. I hope Jerry commits to the Oline. Listen. If you really want to help the defense, then the best way would be to get Nicks and draft DeCastro. That will go a long way in helping the defense because we would increase scoring by being able to sustain drives and thus reduce the number of 3 and outs. It's the 3 and outs by the offense that are killing us. You can have all-pros at every position on defense, but if the offense continues to go 3 and out and not allow the defense to catch their breath, of course they are going to get worn down.
