The World Now Knows Dallas Cowboys Are Drafting Cromartie

by Cowboys

How do I know this? Because CBS-11 and some dork with the Dallas Cowboys allowed a video to be recorded that showed the Cowboys entire defensive draft board. Too bad CBS-11 cannot update their little news ticker on my site, but they can come up with this frame.

The video is all over the Internet, and I am a little late getting on this one. This is just amazingly stupid. What is even more mind boggling is the photo of a smiling Wade Phillips and this guy below in front of the board. If one has a decent PC I am sure they can zoom in and figure a way to know every single player the Cowboys are looking to draft. Great. The Eagles and the Redskins pick before us, too.

CBS-11

On the list first in the far right top is Dominique Rodger-Cromartie. Leodis McKelvin, Kenny Phillips, Michael Jenkins, Aqib Talib and Tracey Porter round out the list.

Here is the other picture:

CBS-11

Anyone know how to zoom in on that board? We might as well list all of the player. I am sure the entire NFL, and certainly the cheating Patriots, are all over this right now. This is just so unbelievable stupid I can barely write about it.

Another blog has a post about this stupidity, too.

Hey like I said, I'm just trying to figure out why it's such a big deal. Got people talking about "stupid" and "moron" and whatnot. I don't think there's any chance that DRC makes it to #22 anyway, but who *wouldn't* have him at the top of their DB board? Just my opinion but if you're drafting for need in the 1st round you're screwed anyway, unless the best player available happens to play a position of need.

Seriously, it's not that it is a "big deal" it's just sort of a dumb move. If it wasn't such a dumb move, the Dallas Cowboys maybe wouldn't have deleted any reference to the progam, photos or video from its web site. DRC may be the best corner for the COWBOYS at the position of pick 22.

Would the Redskins or Eagles take a guy just to screw the Cowboys? If the needs were the same, I would say they very well could and would.

Seriously, I think you're missing the point. No one said it was a big deal in the sense that some war secrets were exposes, but then again, answer this: Why is the entire draft process then secret and private in the first place? Who openly talks about their picks? Who openly discusses how they rate their draft board?

As of a few days ago, the world saw how the Cowboys prioritized some players. Less of a big deal, but more of a stupid thing to do.

Why are you making such a big deal of it not being a big deal?

Sorry but I'm still struggling to find out what the big deal is. Do you or anyone else on this blog think DRC is the top corner in the draft? Also do you really think that the Redskins or Eagles would take a guy that the Cowboys want just to screw the Cowboys over?

I don't think Cason is a top 6 corner, No. Dead serious.

And you don't think Cason fits anywhere? Seriously? I didn't mean to question anyone's intelligence, but I can understand why some that post here might be ultra-sensitive about the perception of their level of intelligence. Seriously.

Seriously, No, I don't think we think that. What we do think is that is the draft order of who the Cowboys would select. Don't question our intelligence here. Thanks.

You guys seriously think that some names in dry-erase marker on a board is the Cowboys' draft board? Seriously? Do you think they'll be drafting 6 DBs next month? Seriously?

JPEG FORMAT ALSO PLEASE, I am going to print these off, THANKS

LandryHat, that video of this meeting is on the official Dallas Cowboys website. (multimedia--3-19-08) If you want all the names under the DL section of that board, this is what I need. I don't have photo editing program's on my computer, so if any of you do, go to this video and e-mail  still shots to theLandryHat that clearly show the board. I am going to look at the blown up image a little closer today, but if I have the original size, best resolution still shots, I will be able to see the names a lot more clearly. SO, when you send them, please do not enlarge them.

I may be a Tulip, but at least my rookie Head Coach Jay Zee knows better than to pose for press photos in front of his own draft board!  He might not know my team's colors but he knows better than that at least!

Ehh oh well.  A position by position break down and ranking of the players available in the draft.  So what?  All the other teams know how good the players are, too, and their rankings are probably the same.  Its no secret we're looking for a DB.

TULIPS IN THE AIR!!

Ha! Im not going anywhere tulip...and even if im wrong your team isnt winning the superbowl this year....that you can take to the ATM!!!

I didn't see any. Might want to check the CBS-11 page. I have a widget to your left. I really want all of the names on the board in order, not just Dbacks. Get to work Steam

Just for you LandryHat, I am going to see what I can do with this still shot you have here, the second one, and see what I can make out of that DB list to the left. If I get all the way to the bottom of that list and Antoine Cason isn't even on it, it is telling me that it is only for meetings. If he is lower that #7, I have to agree that this is definately the draft board. I can't find a still shot of the second list where Brian Stewart isn't dancing in front of it, so if you find one, send that to me.

BigBoy, it isn't fake. Not at all.

its a fake...there doing it so that they can get the guys that they really want. a lil thinking ahead

Tulip, stop attacking my fans. You are under watch.

Steam, I disagree. Teams oftentimes rule out players that many believe our first-round picks. Cason may not be the player the Cowboys want. DRC appears to be the Cowboys first pick in the NFL draft. And I think he will be there. But Cason...he's not really a first round pick and I bet he doesn't make it until the second. Mocks have him being picked but it doesn't matter.

You guys are right. That's the DB list. But next to it is an LB list and a third column above Wade's overly-smirking head.  It's not like this is a catastrophic error that will ruin your entire draft, but it is humiliating and foolish and makes your team look like tools.  It's the Draft equivilant of getting caught with your zipper down.  And number nine, we'll see if you're still around when the season starts. Then I'll happily tell you where you can stuff your 4-12 prediction. :)

I was just talking to another hardcore Dallas fan about this board and after all the discussion on it, I believe that is not a draft board at all. Look at those names at the top of the DB list. Antoine Cason isn't there. ??? This is a list for all the positions coaches to get their asses in gear and schedule meetings with these players, Nothing Else. SCHEDULE MEETINGS It's OK now, you can go back to my mock draft and talk about something else weird and crazy! Hahahaa

Tulip I got a number for you...4-12..redskins record in '08. I think nebuloso hit it right on mark. as long as the cowboys take care of bussiness we'll be alright. I will admit that the video should have never aired.

Jerry Jones would never agree to do misdirection like this. This sort of "ruse" makes him look like a total moron.  It reflects badly on his entire organization.  Jerry Jones has too much pride in his team to intentionally run himself through the muck like this in order to gain some small advantage during the draft day.  People will be laughing at him over this for years.  It's like the two years when the Vikings muffed their draft picks and then said "Oh we MEANT to do it!"  Nobody will believe him and he looks like a tool.  Spin it all you want Cowboys fans, but this is not a good thing for your team.

I think that everyone is getting their panties in a twist over nothing here.  Take another look at the pics.  If you look closely, you'll see that Cromartie is on the top of list "DB".  There is another list titled "DL".  Yet another looks like it is titled "LB" (second photo, board on the right).  Unless you all are seeing something I'm not, these lists are simply the Cowboys ratings of players by position - which are probably almost exactly the same as 99% of the other clubs.  I don't see anything like "22 - draft Cromartie 28- draft XXXX" or even "first pick - grab top DB, second pick - grab top RB/WR/etc.".  Again...much ado over nothing...

I work in a laboratory. I am going to have to find the highest resolution available of these photos and do it under a stereo microscope, If you know where the best still shots of these pics are LandryHat, let me know and I will print it off today. I will have to take the picture to work tomorrow and check it out. After what I find out, I will just e-mail it to you. But honestly I too believe that this is bull-crap. No one is that stupid.

i agree wt justin i really dont think jerry wont let somethin like this happen..i do believe its a misdirection so that the teams can 4get bout our wow factor that jerry promised

If this were real, we would have heard about an earthquake in Dallas because Jerry would have flipped a bitch. It doesnt matter the order on the board EVERYONE wants to be a Cowboy, Pacman, ohco stinko is on tv shows on coffee tables begging to be one. All is good in the world, these pics are nothing more that mere misdirection. But keep that tidbit quiet let them think the pics are real!

This is all B.S.  don't yall worry about this.  It's some internets scandel photoshopping. 

DO it steam. I want every name on that board

I know you guys think I'm full of crap, but I can analize this shot and by Monday I can tell you every damn name on that board. The fact is that it doesn't matter. Just because Dallas has a name at the top of the board doesn't mean that that player will be available at the time of Dallas's picks. Wade Phillips just PUNKT us all. This is too damn easy.

You know though, if Jerry and Wade are reading all the speculation us great fans are putting out there, we could have just been PUNKT. THELANDRYHAT.....YOUR PUNKT!

I can tell you every pick on that board, it don't matter. What is obvious to me is that Wade Phillips is about to be set up as the biggest friggin idiot in proffessional  sports and that funny that REDSKINS GUY put up a while back.,the one with Wade and Jerry talking about Pacman coming to Dallas, almost seems real now. That'll piss ya off.

Technically, it's not cheating if it's available on youtube. You can't blame the Patriots for your own stupidity. :)

Hahahaa, maybe we leaked those pics as a wow factor?  Or maybe someone has some good photoshop skills?
