I'm actually pleasantly surprised with our draft. Solid offensive lineman, and a pass rusher. Lost a pick, but maybe they can make it up later or not. Just need to keep digging for D linemen.

I read where Ealy was the 2nd RE considered by Rod (still on the board when we traded) but Rod felt it was a big gap between Lawrence & Ealy, which is why they paid so much to move up. (hoping Rod knows more than us)
That kinda makes me feel better ......... I guess :rollseyes:

take it for what it is worth.

If what you say can be attributed to Marinelli, then I feel a little better about the deal. Still tough to lose a 3rd in this draft though.

I was hoping the Cowboys would take D. Jones.

 

[Eastbay]

How do know he was the best pass rusher available? We don't know do we. What I do know is he doesn't fit as a 4-3 DE. If we still ran the 3-4 I'd have less of an issue with him, but I'd still hate the dumb ass trade we made to get him.

Don't need Cleo to see this. Simple common sense would serve YOU well.

He was the best available in the Cowboys view, you know the guys that get PAID to evaluate these players. BTW Common sense is not so common these days, YOU are the perfect example.

He will bring pressure from the RE and anywhere he lines up. We needed that. We needed a guy who will help will the void left by Ware. Cowboys felt he was the last one left who can bring the sack/pressure potential so they moved up to get him.

Again, I hope these were the views expressed by Marinelli - not the Jones'.

I am not against having Lawrence on the team. I like the pick. Just don't like the cost.

A Boise State poster on the NFL board is saying the guy is gonna be good. Of course he will talk him up but hopefully he is being honest on the player. Guess he has a high motor & is volatile, so why I like a mean streak on defense as long as he can keep from penalties being it.

didn't Ealy really drop after the Cowboys pick? looks like most teams didn't think he was better than Lawrence

I don't know where he went, but think he was still there at 47 (where we were)
I kinda tuned out after hearing we didn't have a 3rd anymore last night.

Rod is one Hell of a coach. If Jerry wants him as his director of player personnel, he should fire the scouting department and let Rod call the shots. We got hosed on the trade. At the very least, you have to get a 4th or 5th coming back.
Another thing. Instead of TRADING UP for Devin Street, why not just take him in the 4th round. UFA Anthony Hitchens would have still been there in the 5th, and you would still have your 6th. Just giving picks away.....

not arguing with anything your saying, but we didn't have a 6th to start with. thought it was already gone.

 

[ROMOTOOWENS]

I really dont understand the 4rth round thing.

so you gamble on that remaining true. i assume that Marinelli had a lot to say about the choice between Lawrence and Ealy and that he felt that Lawrence was a better fit and that he would gone before 47

 

[ROMOTOOWENS]

Reading ATL things, I think he would have gone there

I am hearing he plays with a chip on his shoulder so hopefully he makes everyone eat crow
when it is all said & done.

Careful now, some will label him as a "Thug" :rollseyes:

You're right, one of our 6 7th's

I am cool with a thug on defense as long as he doesn't do anything to miss games.

This team can use some "Nasty"

I wonder why he was suspended 3 separate times. It's possible he can't stop taking illegal drugs, has a tendency to take things that don't belong to him, or like to beat people up. Now if it's any of these why can't the idea that he just might be a thug be brought up?

What are the odds you'd be all over the skins if they drafted him. You are and have been a two faced troll for a long damn time.
