On the contrary, Frederick, Martin and Smith ARE what is expected of a 1st round pick.

Lol, that's exactly my point. Your expectations are too high. Few mid first-round picks walk in and are immediate all-pros.

True, but we dont know how much they were willing to pony up for Watkins. ET is going to want $12-$13 million a year.

Pretty sure we met his $16 mill a year requests. Or so the internet lead me to believe they did anyway, and if they were willing to pay that kind of money for him, then $12-13 mill for Earl Thomas is g'damn bargain (relatively).

Agreed. I wasnt aware they offered the same amount of money. Last I heard was he was too expensive for their liking.

Simple question. when it is all said and done, YES or NO. Thomas will be a Cowboy this season????

With as little conviction as one can possibly have, I’ll say yes.

Ill answer come tomorrow night. Truly depends on how the first 2 nights of the draft go.

Yes....which basically means not a chance in hell, because that's Dallas being Dallas now.

I said no before for a second, and I will say it again. Too much talent still there at rd 2 for a player that will ask for a ton of money who may want to retire in a few years anyway.

Too costly. Both in terms of pick and Thomas salary. Sure he would be great to have but how long would we get to keep him and at what price.  On the other side though it’s not like we’ve been killing it with our second rd picks of late though the jury is still out on Smith

Still not interested at that price. Like I said, a 4th and a 6th.

They wouldnt give up a 4th rounder to go up 3 spots and get Derwin James. They arent giving up a 2nd for Thomas.

Logically, no, but this is Dallas we're talking about
