| The day started off pretty good for Cowboys' | | | | have fell this far. I didn't expect to see |
| fans as the Cowboys selected Bobby Carpenter. | | | | the Bills select Donte Whitner at #8.Another |
| I think he was the perfect fit for our | | | | thing that surprised me is that alot of the |
| defense. The picks seemed to go downhill | | | | pre-draft rumors turned out to be true. Think |
| after Carpenter's selection.The Cowboys' put | | | | about Mario Williams going to Houston, Young |
| me into a state of disbelief when they | | | | going to the Titan, and the fact that the |
| selected TE Anthony Fasano. I have warmed up | | | | Raiders actually passed on Matt Leinart.I |
| to this pick since then, because the guys I | | | | just hope Bill knows what he is doing, but |
| wanted in the 2nd Round were all still | | | | this draft is starting to remind me of the |
| available at our 3rd pick.Fasano is basically | | | | 2004 Draft were we basically missed on every |
| a blue-collar guy who outworks his opponent. | | | | pick except Jones, Crayton, and possibly |
| He is a good receiver with great hands, but | | | | Peterman. I know I don't know as much about |
| he lacks tremendous athletic ability. He has | | | | these players as each team does, but think |
| a very low bust factor, and should be able to | | | | how awesome our draft would look with |
| contribute as both a receiver and blocker | | | | Carpenter, Watson, and Simpson as our 1st day |
| immediately.The guys left over were WR | | | | picks. Even though it is almost pointless, I |
| Demetrius Williams, FS Ko Simpson, NT Gabe | | | | will provide at 2nd day mock for you guys. |
| Watson, and OG Max Jean-Gilles. Then the | | | | These picks could hopefully salvage the |
| unthinkable happened, we selected freaking DE | | | | draft. All I can say is TRUST IN BILL!4th - |
| Jason Hatcher in the 3rd Round. Come on now, | | | | FS Ko SimpsonThere is obviously something |
| I like him as a player and I think he is very | | | | about this guy teams don't like. |
| underrated, but DE is the deepest position on | | | | |
| our club. Hatcher is 6'6 285 and basically | | | | He is falling much like FS James Butler did |
| dominated his opponents at Grambling St. He | | | | last year. He was a projected 2nd-3rd round |
| has great athletic ability and could really | | | | guy who went in the 7th. The funny thing is, |
| become a great player. And he better, with | | | | he actually had a pretty good rookie year |
| the players we passed up on to get him.I | | | | with the Giants. |
| definitely wouldn't be surprised to see us | | | | |
| trade Ellis, because that would make the | | | | Please Bill, get either Simpson, |
| selection make more sense. The only other | | | | Jean-Gilles, Watson, or D. Williams.5th - NT |
| explanation i see for this pick is that Bill | | | | Montavious StanleyWe need a backup nose |
| is displeased with Marcus Spears, and doesn't | | | | tackle. This and free safety are the two |
| think he is going to be a good player. This | | | | remaining glaring holes.6th - G/T Issac |
| pick reminds me of what the Patriots did a | | | | SowellsWe need depth along the offensive |
| couple of years ago. They spent three high | | | | line. Parcells is obviously pretty confident |
| picks on defensive ends for their 3-4 when | | | | in our guards though, or we would have |
| they already had starters in place.The only | | | | already taken one.6th - WR Jeremy BloomBloom |
| good thing I can say about our first day is | | | | could give us some young depth at receiver, |
| that we added four picks. This sounds great | | | | while contributing mainly as a punt |
| on paper, but if we don't start selecting | | | | returner.7th - FB Matt BernsteinAfter the |
| players at positions of need, these picks | | | | drafting of Fasano, we are obviously |
| won't even get a chance to make the team | | | | eliminating a FB from our main offense. We |
| because they will be behind too many guys on | | | | still need a fullback FB however, and |
| the depth chart.This all shows just how | | | | Bernstein would excel at that. The FB |
| unpredictable the draft can be. You think you | | | | position has pretty much died in the NFL, it |
| know what your team needs, but they go in a | | | | is a shame too.7th - P Steve WeatherfordA |
| totally different direction. Nobody could | | | | punter, long range field goal kicker, and |
| have predicted that Simpson or Watson would | | | | kick-off specialist. |
