Dallas Cowboys Draft Roy Williams Replacement and Felix Jones With Picks

Team 1st Round

Miami Logo

1. Miami Dolphins -Glenn Dorsey, DT, LSU

  • The talk about Miami trading this pick is really heating up. Who may take it? The Cowboys…for McFadden. That worries me and a lot of other Cowboys fans. We’ll see. But until then, Miami is likely to take Dorsey, a true monster on the line.
St. Louis Rams Draft Logo 2. St. Louis Rams -Chris Long, DE, Virginia

  • The Rams have long needed a force on the defensive line and outside. Here he is. If the Rams can snag a good offensive lineman in the 2nd round, they have drastically improved their team to compete in two years. But those receivers aren’t getting any younger, and they need to keep that in mind.
Atlanta Falcons Draft Logo 3. Atlanta Falcons* -Matt Ryan, QB, Boston College

  • I am starting to think the Falcons will bypass McFadden for a true need. This team has to regret trading Matt Schaub, but who would have guessed their quarterback at the time was a dog killer. Matt Ryan will sit for one year and then he’ll have to party with the big boys.

Oakland Raiders Draft Logo

4. Oakland Raiders* -Sedrick Ellis, DT, USC

  • Raiders, meet your replacement for Warren Sapp. You’re bypassing McFadden to take him.

Kansas City Chiefs Draft Logo

5. Kansas City Chiefs* -Jake Long, OT, Michigan

  • Matt Ryan is gone. But that’s OK because Chiefs fans believe Brodie Croyle is the answer. Stop cackling! Jake Long may revive that running game to top tier again.
NY Jets Draft Logo 6. New York Jets -Darren McFadden, RB, Arkansas

  • Many pundits say McFadden is the best player in the draft. So, of course the Jets are stealing him at No. 6. McFadden and Jones sounds like a great 1-2 punch that could make the Jets a potent offense.
New England Patriots Draft Logo 7. New England Patriots (From 49ers) -Vernon Gholston, DE/OLB, Ohio State

  • I don’t care that the Pats fans say they don’t need this position filled. You pick the best player available in the first round.

Ravens Logo

8. Baltimore Ravens - Brian Brohm, QB, Louisville

  • Will the Ravens finally find a starting QB to bring the offense some respect? I’ve always liked Brohm but that doesn’t matter. Give him a year of study and let him loose.

Cincinnati Bengals Draft Logo

9. Cincinnati Bengals -Keith Rivers, OLB, USC

  • The Bengals may pick defense this entire draft. They could use it. Rivers will help a linebacker corps that was just awful this season. Awful!
New Orleans Saints Draft Logo 10. New Orleans Saints -Malcolm Kelly, WR, Oklahoma

  • I think the loss of Joe Horn really hurt these guys more than they thought it would. So bring in Kelly to lineup with Colston and see what happens. Grab a free safety in the second round or try free agency. The Saints cannot give up now.
Buffalo Bills Draft Logo

11. Buffalo Bills -Leodis McKelvin, CB, Troy State

  • They need to replace Nate Clements. Most mocks have them taking a receiver, but defense wins games. A corner might be the smartest pick here.

Denver Broncos Draft Logo

12. Denver Broncos -DeSean Jackson, WR/PR, California

  • The Broncos have lost the weapons to catch the ball. Many teams will be disappointed to see Jackson go at this spot, but Denver would be silly to let him go by.
Carolina Panthers Draft Logo 13. Carolina Panthers -Sam Baker, OT, USC

  • The Panthers didn’t run the ball very well and nothing helps solve that problem than a strong offensive line. It’s either Baker or Clady and today I am taking Baker here.

Chicago Bears Draft Logo

14. Chicago Bears -Ryan Clady, OT, Boise State

  • Hey, the Bears made it to the Super Bowl with a crummy quarterback. That defense suffered a bunch of injuries this year. But one thing that fell apart this year was the running game. Bring in Clady to open holes. I know they need a QB, but just try this.

Detroit Lions Draft Logo

15. Detroit Lions -Mike Jenkins, CB, South Florida

  • I almost went with an offensive lineman here, but the Lions defense was disgusting.
Arizona Cardinals Draft Logo 16. Arizona Cardinals -Antoine Cason, CB, Arizona

  • Antrel Rolle moves to safety if they get a corner here and Cason will start immediately. Putting Rolle at his best position should improve the Cardinals secondary, a big problem this year.

Minnesota Vikings Draft Logo

17. Minnesota Vikings -Early Doucet, WR, LSU

  • A huge target for the Vikings who desperately need a play-making wide out. Doucet has great hands.
Houston Texans Draft Logo 18. Houston Texans -Jonathan Stewart, RB, Oregon

  • An improved team will get better with a good running game. It will either be Stewart or one of the other backs available.
Eagles Logo 19. Philadelphia Eagles -Phillip Merling, DE, Clemson

  • I see a lot of Eagles mocks taking this guy. Apparently he works out a lot and stays in shape year long.
Tampa Bay Bucanneers Draft Logo 20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers -Chris Williams, OT, Vandy

  • With a healthy Luke Petitgout on the right and Williams on the left, it looks like the Bucs have formed a solid front line. Cadillac Williams is smiling.
Washington Redskins Draft Logo

21. Washington Redskins -Kenny Phillips, FS, Miami

  • I think instead of defensive line, the Redskins may want to replace Sean Taylor.
Dallas Cowboys Draft Logo 22. Dallas Cowboys (From Browns) -Reggie Smith, CB/S, Oklahoma

  • Bye bye Roy Williams. Smith may play corner to start, but I think he will eventually be moved to safety when we drop Williams. Put some pressure on Williams and maybe he will perform. But Smith is multi-talented. Williams is multi nothing right now. Am I being too harsh?
Pittsburgh Steelers Draft Logo 23. Pittsburgh Steelers -Jeff Otah, OT, Pittsburgh

  • It’s likely that the Steelers lose one or two of their offensive lineman so it might be smart to grab one on the draft. At 6-5 and 340 pounds, Otah can play guard or tackle.
Tennesse Titans Draft Logo 24. Tennessee Titans -Mario Manningham, WR, Michigan

  • The Titans desperately need a good wide out. Manningham could be a surprise player. He was projected as a top draft pick early on in his collegiate career.

Seattle Seahawks Draft Logo

25. Seattle Seahawks -Rashard Mendenhall, RB, Illinois

  • Although some argue this, I truly think Shaun Alexander is finished. Mendenhall will play with a duo running attack for the first time with the Seahawks. It may just keep them in the playoffs.
Jacksonville Jaguars Draft Logo 26. Jacksonville Jaguars -Derrick Harvey, DE, Florida

  • Three sacks in the BCS game against Ohio State last year, making him MVP is easily forgotten. But this guy can play. Problem is, and it is not really a problem, the Jags are the only team without a pressing need. Maybe wide receiver could go here, but Harvey is one of those “get the best player left” picks.
San Diego Chargers Draft Logo 27. San Diego Chargers -Kentwan Balmer, DT, North Carolina

  • Another team that doesn’t have immediate needs. But Balmer can provide depth for the Chargers on defense, making them that much more effective.
Dallas Cowboys Draft Logo 28. Dallas Cowboys -Felix Jones, RB, Arkansas

  • Let’s hope it falls this way, so the Cowboys can pick up two immediate needs. I think wide receiver will be a second round pick if Glenn does return. I think the Cowboys will give Glenn a try. Manningham may be available in the second, but I doubt it.
San Francisco 49ers Draft Logo 29. San Francisco 49ers (From Colts) -James Hardy, WR, Indiana

  • Finally a wide out for the 49ers. I am not sure Alex Smith is the QB of the future, but the 49ers never game him anyone to throw to. Now he has someone, who in a couple of years could be great.
Green Bay Packers Draft Logo 30. Green Bay Packers -Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, CB, TSU

  • Stock went up with a great showing in the Senior Bowl. Lofty tough guy who can hit. He may go higher, but right now, let’s not let him jump too much.

New York Giants Draft Logo

31. New York Giants -Dan Connor, LB, Penn State

  • Stock drops after a mediocre Senior Bowl. The Giants could use help in the linebacker corps and the Giants wouldn’t mind a tough guy like Connor.

New England Patriots Draft Logo

FORFEITED

  • CHEATERS

So tired of seeing Felix Jones going to the cowboys in the first round in all the mocks.  Why in the world would you take a second running back in the first round when you can easily grab a potential starter in the 2nd or 3rd round.  Ex: Kevin Smith, Chris Johnson, Steve Slaton, Jamaal Charles, Matt Forte, Ray Rice.  Any of these guys could start in the nfl, let alone be the #2.  Why not grab our biggest needs like DB and WR instead?  Cromartie and Hardy would be the dream picks with Kevin Smith being picked in the 3rd.  Don't give me crap that Dallas needs a deep threat, because all they really need is a receiver that can catch, and Hardy could catch anything anywhere.  peace.

I think the Pats choked in the big game because they were gagging on all that Stetson, that stuff aint good for your health and i hear it increases estrogen production in the body

yea the Pats can eat it where the sun dont shine, i hate them.... but Redskins guy thats my point, Eli went from 0-2 to 4-2... Romo has clearly got the skills and the intangibles, I am not saying he will be an all time great, but you can see whether or not a guy is championship material... ie Rex Grossman is not a championship QB, Tony can and will be...... I mean I hate the fricken' skins but I dont even think they will be that bad next year... the NFC East will be a force to be reckoned with next year, its by far the toughest division in football and there will absolutely be three teams representing the NFC East again in the playoffs next year but I still believe that next years superbowl is a Tampa showdown between the Cowboys and the Chargers...and im not just saying that because I am a cowboys fan, although I am sure that has something to do with it...............

I love how everyone says he's young and then has to qualify it with a "in terms of being a starting QB."  Chris Weinke is young in terms of being a starting QB too.  That means nothing.  Not that I'm against patriots bashing or anything.  The Pats will now forever be known as the team that choked at the chance to go undefeated.  They lost to the GIANTS and ELI MANNING!  BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Laugh it up Patriots girl the tide will turn on the evil empire next year. Everyones got your number now, Romo is still really young in terms of being a starting QB, next year is our year, and as for the AFC, next year the Chargers will dominate and will eat you alive so keep smiling now because y'all wont even make it to Tampa

Everyone cheats, Donovan McNabb said in a press conference this year" everyone cheats, its the game of not getting caught" what do you expect, most atheletes push themself to the edge, then they will get into HGH or Steriods, to give them even more, on the other side of the field, organizations will prepare their team to the best, and some teams with go further, stealing signals, calls. Man when i played highschool football, i stole signals, i watched the sideline when i was on the field, a lot easier in highschool, most signals are simple to break, but you gotta get over yourself. Patriots lost the superbowl, it sucks, but someone has to lose the better team won that day, and congrats on dallas, HUGE SUCCESS you sign a well past his prime drew bledsoe, and continue with Romo the Homo, then you bring in Terrell " thats my quarterback cry baby " owens, solid, how was your playoff run the last couple years? " PLAYOFFS.... PLAYOFFS.... i think you boys gotta win some important games before you can learn to go deep in the playoffs

Both the Cowboys and the Patriots are good, okay great, organizations.....but.....neither team has squat on the 49ers.  The niners were the first team to win 5 superbowls.  Also, the niners never lost in the superbowl.  The Patriots have a great quarterback in Tom Brady, but he will never compare to Joe Montana.  Joe Montana never lost a superbowl, Brady has and for that reason alone, he will never be as good as Montana.  Even if Brady and the Patriots win 10 superbowls, he will never be as good as Montana.  I'm sure that some people are reading this comment and think "well, the niners suck now" and that's fine.  Just remember, the Niners don't lost superbowls.\

your a idiot, dallas sports sucks, boston has had 5 championship parades in 7 years, thats right, count em buddy.and as you quoted "what jimmy talked about is not the same as the patriots were doing"wrong, heres the interviewonce again, keep living in the 90'sFebruary 23rd, 2008Jimmy Johnson thinks Spygate is overblownPosted by John Tomase at 10:58 am We originally posted this WFAN interview as having been conducted during Super Bowl week. It actually dates back to September. Regardless, it’s still interesting to note how commonplace former Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson feels the use of cameras is by NFL teams. He admits he used them to steal signs all the time.Q: How about the spying thing Jimmy. You’re a coach does that bother you what Belichick did?JJ: Oh please. I’ve said it on our show. Eighteen years ago a scout for the Chiefs told me what they did, and he said what you need to do is just take your camera and you go and zoom in on the signal caller and that way you can sync it up. The problem is that if they’re not on the press box side you can’t do it from the press box, you have to do it from the sideline. This was 18 years ago.Q: You think the NFL came down too hard on them?JJ: No, no, I said it on the show. He was wrong for doing it for the simple reason that the league knew this was going on not just in New England but around the league. And the league sent out the memorandum to all of the teams saying you cannot do this. And so that’s when Bill Belichick was wrong. After he got the memorandum saying don’t do it any more, he did it.Q: Did you ever steal signals?JJ: Oh in a heartbeat, yeah. Yes I did.Q: Via video, Jimmy? Or no?JJ: Oh yeah, I did it with video and so did a lot of other teams in the league. Just to make sure that you could study it and take your time, because you’re going to play the other team the second time around. But a lot of coaches did it, this was commonplace.Q: But did you do it by taping the signal caller?JJ: Yeah.Q: Oh you did.JJ: That’s what I’m saying. I was saying one of Marty Schottenheimer’s scouts, Mark Hatley, who has passed away now, Mark told me that’s how they did it, and Howard Mudd their offensive line coach with Kansas City, who now coaches for Tony Dungy, he was the best in the entire league at stealing signals.Q: Where’d you put your guy who was videotaping? Where was he?JJ: My guy was up with my camera crew in the press box. So you’d just put an extra camera up with your camera crew in the press box who zoomed in on the signal callers. That’s the best way to do it, but anyway you can’t always do that because the press box camera crew might be on the same side as the opposing team. If they’re on the same side as the opposing team that’s when you need to do it from the sideline.Category: General | Comments Off

Dave, give it up, man. What Jimmy talked about is not the same as what the Patriots were doing. Just face it, there is a reason the team was fined. This was a disgusting scandal that has scarred the NFL. Dave, The Cowboys have won five super bowls. The Patriots have won 3. The Cowboys are one of the youngest teams in the NFL. The Pats are one of the oldest. True, Dallas failed to win a playoff game once again. But the future is bright in Big D. May the dark clouds continue to hover over your cheating team.

PATS FAN HERE, Your thoughts are fine, hypocrite! Jimmy Johnson the last great coach of your loser team  was a self proclaimed cheater! he spied also. He said it out of his own mouth.  Yes we lost the Super Bowl, once again your team never made it.

Cowboys dream scenario.  Pick up Asante Samuel in free agency.  Trade one of the no. 1's to Detroit for Roy Williams.  Use other draft pick to get Felix Jones.  By the way I know our Roy Williams had an off year but he was not even close to being the reason we lost in the playoffs.  See Patrick (big mouth) Crayton and Jaques (burnt toast) Reeves for the reasons why we lost that game.

Early is not a quick, speedy WR though. Andre Caldwell is.

Mike Martz is looking for a WR...but, I don't think it's Hardy.  Good as he is, Martz favors quick, speedy WR's...my guess is he'd go with someone like Early Doucet, or maybe Andre Caldwell.  Either guy would be great fits to be his slot receiver, something the Niners really don't have.  I'd expect 2nd year WR Jason Hill to play a major role in Martz' offense, too, lessening the need for a guy like Hardy.

Ian, I had Calais going to Redskins in a few mocks. I picked Merling only because I saw a ton of mocks having the eagles taking him, including a few eagle blog mocks. I doubt he goes even in the first round, but I thought I'd change it up.

I think that Gholston would fill a need for the Patriots, because they need youth at the LB position. Even though he would play OLB in their system, the Pats have versitile players in Thomas and Vrabel who can play ILB.I am not so sure about the Eagle staking Merling there. I guess you don't think much of Calais Campbell?

"I don’t care that the Pats fans say they don’t need this position filled. You pick the best player available in the first round. "No, in the first round, the Patriots take the best value for their system (e.g., the rather surprising pick--to many--of Logan Mankins, who was capable of starting at LG from day one). If it happens to fill a need, so much the better. But they won't just take BPA.

I would be thrilled if the Redskins were able to replace Sean Taylor with Kenny Phillips in the draft.  But, alas, i believe he will be long gone by then.  But here's hoping you're right!
