2006 NFL Draft Opinions

The Cowboys picked Bobby Carpentar from Ohio State. Great pick for them! They really need to bolster their LB corp although I was hoping for a Michael Huff, just was hoping although. If he were still there at 18, I would have some concerns. They really need to focus on a quality FS.

New Orleans surprised me with their pick of Bush, Buffalo's pick has me scratching my head with Donte Whitner. His numbers were not great at the combine and it was a concensus of reporters that he would be a second round pick. Young to Tennessee was a good pick, surprised to see Leinart go all the way down to 10. It was a good pick for the Cards, but I fear their lack of o-line may have the Cards wishing they picked Young, who can run for his life a bit better. The rest of the draft has gone the way I thought it would. I hate that Huff is a Raider and not a Cowboy, but that is the NFL!

I just heard the Lendale White has not passed a drug test according to Blue Star Media, the Dallas Cowboys Media group. One word--Wow! Never would have thought that would happen.

Go Cowboys!

HEY LOU,

I know DICK JARON personally, give him a chance.

I just read a few stories about how the media was wondering what the Texans were thinking with picking Mario Williams. If he is a bust, just wait for the ESPN show "5 Reasons Why . . . " the Houston Texans did not draft Reggie Bush.

I do question a lot that the Buffalo Bills are doing with their organization, but I have a wait and see attittude to see if what they have done in free agency and the draft comes out with some "W's". If not, then they need to look in the mirror as far as management on why things went wrong.

I see Lendale White is with Vince Young and the Titans. That should be interesting to see. I am awful disappointed the Cowboys did not address their need for a young safety. The free agent picks are not impressive and just about every paper, story, or analysis stated that the Cowboys should pick a safety to groom or to start. Once again, they bucked the trend and their needs. Maybe t.o. can play safety too!

The one thing that drives me nuts about Denver is that they are too aggressive and take too many chances with personnel. They believe that they are one player away from the Super Bowl. I do not agree at all. There are two reasons why they will not go back to a Super Bowl--1. John Elway; 2. Alex Gibbs.

Good point Tiger! Just like any fan, we love to second guess our favorite teams and especially be critical of the ones we dislike. The great thing is that we can make our own choices, watch what our teams did, and if they work--great, if not, at least we will not lose a job over it. I am not a Fantasy Footballer because I stay pretty busy with our youth program, but it is fun to try to second guess our favorites. And one last point, when your favorite team is the Dallas Cowboys, Jerry Jones makes it too easy to second guess his decisions. I have a bunch of friends who kid me about the Cowboys signing T.O., I have a wait and see policy as I have seen what they have done in the past with the likes of Charles Haley and pretty much handled Deion Sanders. I look for T.O. to realize that he does not get many more chances and with the Cowboys, it could be his last. I think he will have a good 3 years in Dallas with a bump here and there, but I am not sure if they will go all the way with T.O. He is a really talented receiver and the Eagles were in dire need of a WR at the time, but Dallas still has a lot of holes to fill particularly if Bledsoe gets hurt, or they don't find a quality FS via the draft. Julius Jones still has to prove himself a worthy heir apparent to Emmitt Smith and the o-line will be a question mark.

Anyway, day 2 is starting and let the second guessing begin!
