Re: Dallas Cowboys War Room

I'm not sure we can be excited by that pick. Cautiously optimistic, at best.

I would like to have seen Campbell...he seems like a great replacement for Adams, quicker, leaner, better head on his shoulders.

Agreed! Certainly a steal at 24.

Having watched a ton of ACC football, my opinion is that Bruce Campbell wasn't anything special on the field at Maryland.

I'm happy with the Dez Bryant pick. Puts pressure on Roy Williams to produce or he'll be gone sooner vs. later. If I had my way, he'd be gone tomorrow, heh.

Re: Dallas Cowboys War Room

It's still almost unbelievable this guy was sitting there and that JJ was willing to pull the trigger and move up. I understand it wasn't a position of need, but when you're playing to win a SB now you might as well help in anyway you can. I'm sure the team will address the depth issues in the next rounds, but Bryant was simply someone the team couldn't pass on.

Bryant will be alright, off the field at least, IMO. Yes, he has "character issues" (lying to the NCAA? not as bad as stealing, fighting, drugs, 20+ baby's mama's, etc) but he will be on a roster with some veteran leadership in Witten, Romo, Brooking, etc. This will only make the Cowboys better, especially at WR position across the board. Austin is a gym rat & is constantly trying to get better, Crayton seems to elevate his game every time the team tries to bury him on the depth chart, and now Roy Williams is on notice: produce or you're now quite dispensable.

Re: Dallas Cowboys War Room

I hope Dez Bryant takes the starting spot away from Roy Williams. Williams certainly has been sent a message if he didn't already know. He better start making himself look like the guy we got for traded draft picks or he's gonna be gone. I like it myself!

Re: Dallas Cowboys War Room

Anyone know anything more about the Penn State linebacker that we got? The analysts seemed to tell that he was a downhill sorta player who was good but had some injury concerns. Anyone with any more information than that?

Apparently he compares to Keith Brooking in the eyes of some...mainly those on the Cowboys. He was also projected as a potential 1st rounder very early in the process, but had a knee issue that dropped his stock. He seems like a good fit for the D.

That said, I'm not a huge fan of the pick for a couple reasons. One, I don't get trading up for him, but I'll assume the Cowboys had reason to believe he was on someone's radar ahead of them. More importantly, there were some OL options still available, and the depth there is a more pressing need IMO.

Time will tell, of course, but I hope I'm proven wrong and he turns out to be the "steal" Jerry and co. seem to think he was.

Also of note, according to dallascowboys.com both Crayton and Hurd are asking to be traded and are on the block along with Spears and Carpenter. Crayton was the only news in terms of the trade block to me, but I didn't know he and Hurd were actually asking to go.

I say let them. If you don't want to compete, your not needed. Say what you will about Roy Williams (who I have been very critical of) but I respect the fact that he is welcoming Dez and looking forward to having to prove himself.
