Cowboys 2016

Looks like Forte is not going to be back with the Bears.

Jerry needs to take notice. Its not a long term fix but may keep us competitive if we decide to go QB or Defense in the first round this year.

I think they'll give Forte a long look. He's got gas in the tank, and his ability to catch passes out of the backfield means we wouldn't feel the loss of Dunbar as much (Dunbar is a free agent). I can't see Forte pulling top dollar at his age, especially with the Murray debacle fresh in everyone's mind. Just give him a short (2 yr), incentive laden deal. This would allow them to focus on the defensive, QB, and WR needs in the draft. Although I do expect they will make a run at a FA pass rusher.

We really don't know what their draft board is going to look like, but I don't think they need to draft a RB at #4. I don't know how I feel about taking a pass rusher since they already picked up 2 pass rushers in the last two drafts. I would rather a lock down cornerback or a LB at #4.

As a matter of fact, I would be fine with Jack at #4.

[Silverback]

I think they take Jalen Ramsey at 4.

I'm good with Bosa, Jack, or Ramsey at #4 quite honestly. I know what you mean about taking an end @ 4, but with Marinelli's schemes those guys rotate heavily. If Gregory still can't put on the size needed, move him to LB.

Did not mean to insinuate they'd go RB @ #4. Just meant it addresses a concern, and it's one less need to address through the draft. The only situation I could see them taking a RB in the first would be if they moved down and acquired an additional first round pick out of the move. Which is possible. I just think it's more likely they take defense and QB in the first if they wind up with 2 #1s.

I am thinking its a 75% chance they go D with the 4th pick IF they don't trade down. Jerry may have learned his lesson about trading down. Sometimes you just need to take that superstar player. He got into the habit of trading down for lower rung players, depended on the scouts to give him good advice on those players and they mostly sucked.

I think it would be an amazing draft if they take Jack at #4 and then pick up Coleman(Baylor) in the second round.

Jack, Lee, and Hitchens in the LB core would be pretty fun.


Moving down isn't all bad at all imo. Especially depending on how they have guys on their board. I'm not talking down to the end of the first round, but they could stand to gain a lot by just moving down 4-5 spots.

I get irritated when everyone fawns over the job McClay has done. Outside of the first two rounds his department sucks gigantic elephant nuts.

I think we have been deprived of quality picks and building a quality team for so long people think he is awesome. I mean, if you have been eating bologna for 10 years, and then someone gives you some chopped ham slices, you're going to be ecstatic.

I don't even have an opinion, you never know what the Boy's brass are going to do...

[Gargamel]

Here comes RG3.... lol

[pHILSANITY07]

I think Forte will probably get what Frank Gore got last offseason when it comes to a contract offer. Gore's was a 3 year 12 million with 6.5 million guaranteed.

Is McFadden still going to be in Dallas or is he a free agent?

McFadden will be here next year, he signed a two year deal. I think forte will bring a little less than gore. I still think the Cowboys should go after Miller. Grab rg3, and another qb later in the draft, and go all in on defense again this year.

speaking of RG3, I read an article that said the Rams might consider signing RG3. Heck to be the starter the bar wasn't set high by Nick Foles and Case Keenum. I wouldn't be oppose to it if he was signed, the irony would be funny though.

Rams trade #2 pick to Washington for 3 first round picks.
Washington drafts RG3
Washington releases RG3
Rams sign RG3.

Yeah, OK.

RG3 is a bust, dude. He can't decipher an NFL playbook, just because he was an athlete at Baylor doesn't mean he can do the things he did at Baylor in the NFL. The same thing happened with Vince Young, NFL owners get all caught up in the draft, the college coaches are saying the right things to NFL owners to promote their schools on signing day, all that hype = BUST!

Do yourself a huge favor. Forget the Cowboys and go buy a Stars jersey and enjoy the hockey season. If that doesn't float your boat, become an NBA fan and pick up a Spurs jersey. And if that doesn't do it for you become a baseball fan and get some Rangers or Astros gear. Chances are any of these 4 teams is going to have a significantly better season than the '16 Cowboys.

Randy Gregory has been suspended for 4 games, tested positive for a banned substance.

[Rick Modena]

Kap wants out of SF...

[mstng86]

Derrick Henry just ran a 4.5 in the 40. Same speed as Dez.

I'm just sayin'
