Didn't really think that was a good read. Lol. I've heard about all of that stuff already, and I think they are all non-issues. Ajayi was a 5th round pick. His stats after his ACL injury are phenomenal. If he lasts 2 or 3 years with just half his TD totals a year and 700-800 yds a year splitting with Miller, it will be a successful pick. I'm very interested in how Lippet will be, but don't have very high hopes. Also, I'm very interested in a couple of the UDFA LBers miami picked up.

Yeah, if I read it now it would suck but I posted that an hour or so after the draft. It was pretty informative.

I have similar feeling to you. I think OL Mathis from the Eagles might be in our future at a decent price. I've heard talks about us making a play for that OL kid that got caught up in that murder investigation. If he's cleared naturally. If we score him at UDFA price and one or more of those LB's work out this draft goes from a solid A- to an A+.

If our coaching staff takes this roster and makes it work well we are looking at a very solid season.

They want to sell new merchandising every year. So the new tactic is doing new uniforms every few years to try and hook the diehards into forking out more cash. I love the game but the never ending quest they have to bilk every dollar out of their fans is grinding on me.

Yeah, they are in a business though. I'm stupid diehard but I've long since given up on wearing the latest and greatest gear. I'd rather buy car parts... lol

L'ael Collins is apparently a real possibility for Miami. It looks like he will be clear from the investigation and there are several ties with Miami (current players on the roster) plus we have the no state tax thing going for us. He could be the steal of the Draft this year. Miami would essentially score 3 first rounders for the price of a 1 & 2 he would also give us some much needed help on the Oline.... things are looking better every day for us.

Not happy at all with the Cowboys 1st pick Byron Jones.

http://www.dallascowboys.com/content/draft-central

Yeah he's an INCREDIBLE athlete, but like scouts have pointed out... not much tape on him for a 1st round draft pick. He is definitely going be a huge hit or miss.

I wish we would've went O-Line in the 2nd round. We've had good luck with O-Linemen these past few years.... we'll see what happens.

The only thing I can say is hope your scouts did due diligence. The Cowboys usually have a pretty good front office you'll probably be fine.

I have reservations about Romo though. He just seems to fold every year. It's a damn shame too because he's a likable enough guy and when he's hot he's good.
