Didn't the Cowboy's do the same with Fredrick's I'm pretty sure he was ranked in the middle or late second round pick and the Cowboy's got him late in the first round and there was a lot of criticism from fans and writers.

Gil Brandt has Hooker ranked #61 but if Hooker isn't the Cowboy's flavor of the month than how about Hakeem Butler, Miles Boykin, Trysten Hill is ranked #68 by Brandt.

If your the Cowboys you award Lawrence just under Khalil Mack money but if he's wants Guaranteed money you better get in to have shoulder surgery because were not paying you to miss games due to you and your Agent's ploy on not having the surgery done to try and have leverage in the bargaining talks.

my rankings with the Cowboys meetings and where they are drafting in the round DL) Zach Allen, Khalen Saunders, Jaylon Ferguson S) Johnathan Abraham, Taylor Rapp, Darnell Savage CB) Isiah Johnson, Justin Layne, Joejuan Williams WR) Hakeem Butler, Miles Boykin, Mecole Hardman TE) Jace Sternberger, Irv Smith, Dawson Knox RB) Trayveon Williams, Damien Harris, Devine Ozigbo MY SLEEPER PICKS THIS DRAFT Darnell Holland (RB/KR) Kennesaw State 5-10" 195 lbs. 4.38 speed 37.5 " vert. / 20yds. avg. per rec. / 11.9 yds. avg. per rush this kid looks like something you see in video games bring in to develop could be a great change of pace back. Iseoluwapo Jegede (DL) Valdosta State 6-6" 277 lbs. can play on the end or inside good gap player Stephen Denmark (DB) Valdosta State 6-2" 220 lbs. 4.46 speed this kid brings the lumber and can be good in press coverage Quinton Bell (DE/OLB) Prarie View A & M 6-3" 238 lbs. 4.38 speed 41.5" vert. 23 reps very good at getting into the back field a lot of upside, you can't take credit for what he brings in measurable's but you can coach him up to play in your scheme with that great athleticism.

The Cowboys could use a DT that has the ability to take on double blockers., to help free the DE's. Very good contract value here.

I'm with every one that Collins will be franchised tagged, If a safety is signed my guess it will be Earl Thomas with all the drama last season , I would love Gerald McCoy but I think the cost would be too much with the signing of Thomas maybe a few smaller signings to help fill some gaps. If Shawn Lee doesn't take a pay cut I feel he's done in Dallas his contract is too rich for the amount of time he misses due to injuries, D. Williams would be a good swing tackle. Trading all the way back into the 3rd rnd. to pick up an additional pick this year my gut feeling is it's too risky , we could target a good DT/ Safety / WR / TE / OT with pick 59th.

I too feel that the Cowboys will find more wide receivers in the draft and move on from Austin, Beasley, Williams and possibly Hurns. I'm also in agreement that Williams should be given the opportunity to compete for the RT position he has a lot of traits in his game that would help prevent the speed rushers to getting in the backfield and also they can't keep paying big bucks to one part of the TEAM sport. Hey I hate the Patriots organization just like the next guy but there's a team that continuously moves on from players when the demand of big money contracts arise and they pencil in another player and that player steps up to the plate and that's all about coaching and great scouting the type of player that fits the bill of a Patriot player. The Cowboys have that in Chris Richard but no one in the media is really acknowledging the great job that he did with this defense and the players he did it with. It's been all about Garrett and the small changes such as Kitna, Mooore to the TEAM. I know every one says that offense sells the NFL brand but it's the defenses that win you championships so why give this great mind of Chris Richard a chance to find a head coaching job else where. It's time for this coaching staff to get the best production out of their players that are depth players to help make a greater product on the field.

Conner Williams biggest asset is his lateral movement, he did get pushed around quite a bit last year, he does have that mean streak that everyone speaks about. Let's see how he makes out in the off season strengthening program I feel that Williams would be a better RT with his movement to help stop the speed rushers where Collins has a weakness there, when Doug Free gave up those sacks or holding penalties Cowboys nation was screaming bloody murder. Also the Cowboys have a decision to make on Collins next year they can't keep shelling out big money to their OL and not pay the other players on the team. With a new year on the horizon and possibly Fredrick's being healthy, Smith and Martin fully healthy again, Colombo with a full season under his belt and hey a new offensive coordinator maybe we will see that OL being dominant once again.

Greg Dortch or De' Andre Tompkins could be Beasley's replacement late in the draft on day 3 , but I would like to see a big bodied receiver to compliment Cooper's style of game like Akeem Butler 6-6" 225 lbs. , Shawn Poindexter 6-4" 220 lbs. , Preston Williams 6 -4" 210lbs. , Xavier Obusi 6-3" 218 lbs. or Ron Quavion Tarver 6-3" 215 lbs.

I'm good if the Cowboys could sign McCoy to fill the need of a big body with pass rushing skills also. Don't really think the Cowboys will spend big money though. More like lunch pail type players that they signed last year Marinelli has an act of getting the most out of a player.

I agree with you that everyone has Earl Thomas as one of their primary targets in free agency with all the trade talk last year but at what cost ? Stephen Jones already stated that they weren't really looking to sign big names to big contracts. I also feel that if the Cowboys targeted Johnathan Abraham (SS) let Woods play (FS) there's an upgrade already from Heath because Abraham is good in coverage and excels in the box. I also feel that the Cowboys should grab one of those young guns coming out this year and mold him into the type of receiver you want. Austin and Beasley are probably going to ask for too much money and if you could get a Mecole Hardman, Terry Godwin, Tony Pollard, Diontae Johnson or a Nyquan Murray @ a lower cost it's just better business with less Diva type Egos.

The college all star games put the prospects on a big stage to shine and try to push their stock in the up coming draft. There are a lot of really good Wide Receivers in the draft early and late in the draft so if the Cowboys stick to their board and take another position player I feel we can get some one good on the 2nd or 3rd day. Greg Dortch, Diontae Johnson,Ron' Quavion Tarver, Shawn Poindexter, Jon Duhart, Tony Pollard, Xavier Obusi.

I agree with you about moving on from Tyron , these teams need to have quality depth players that can fill in when a player is dealing with nagging injuries that could eventually lead to a great player being the shell of the person he was before . There is no OT / LT in this years 2nd round that could automatically step in to replace Tyron. As for Sean Lee it's not that he's getting older and regressing he hasn't lived up to being able to stay on the field from the time they drafted him till now. Now that Smith and Vander Esch has stepped up they really don't miss Lee. If the Cowboys had a real quality swing tackle that could spell Tyron time from time we wouldn't be talking about a LT in the draft.

Lawrence needs to be given long term contract Fleming resigned showed he can play a decent LT, Tyron is regressing who knows what's going on there Rod Smith has played well enough to be given a small pay raise if he wishes to stay on Justin March - Lillardi has played well on special teams needed depth Daniel Ross has played well resign to a 1 or 2 year contract Swaim has shown that he can contribute to the offense but he can't stay healthy let him walk David Irving has so much talent but he can't get his head into the game let him walk Damien Wilson's only strength is when he plays close to the line of scrimmage he sucks in coverage let him walk Cole Beasley has shown that he can be a QB's safety blanket if he wishes to stay tender a contract Datone Jones is another player hasn't been able to stay heathy let him walk Tavon Austin hasn't shown me that he's worth that 6 million dollar contract take a pay cut or walk Jamize Olawale he can walk find a true FB Marcus Martin he can walk Caraun Reid has not played enough to show that he's worth while to resign Darien Thompson only see him on special teams can he play in this defense if needed let him walk LP is the man if he's wanting to stay on resign

Cowboy's need to see a lot more from Prescott before they give him a big contract, he still needs to clean up the turnovers, pressure sacks hey just throw the ball away, and needs to make these passes with receivers wide open last year every one complained that the receivers weren't able to get separation and now that were seeing separation he doesn't make the connection. With all the domination in procession of the ball on the offensive side we need to see more points on the board , the Cowboy's suck in the red zone you can't keep kicking field goals because as we all seen yesterday in more times it comes back to bite you if you can't turn field goals into touch downs it lets the other team back into the game. Prescott needs to make his reads faster when in the red zone instead of getting sacked. If the Cowboy's can't clean up the blunders on the offensive side of the ball were going to see this team get knocked out of the play offs.
