If we got Vernon Butler in the second round (don't think he's making it at all out of the first round), I'd be in Farmer Fran mode through training camp...

Deion Jones seems a little too light and wasn't as fast at his pro day...

Myles will be gone before they serve him his first drink in the green room.

I do think Vernon is a day 2 selection, although some scouts project him as a late 1st round selection.

"Debo" Deion actually ran faster at his Pro Day (4.38).

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............

Myles Jack won't hold personal pro day, likely won't run timed 40 - NFL.com

Likely won't affect his draft status. But if he is there when we pick... wow

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............

I predict Myles Jack ends up in Death Star nation (Dallas). They really can't trust McClain and the great Sean Lee can't stay healthy.

This is true...but...

Unless Philly or Los Angeles jumps up in the top three and snags a quarterback...

Starting to think Dallas will take a quarterback...whether they have to offer a counter deal or trust the top order stays and take one at their pick...

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............

I don't see the Cowboys taking a QB, Cowboys will go DLine, RB or trading down

Two things that Jerry Jones covets: Head Coach Sean Payton and Quarterback Drew Brees...

QB Jared Goff is the closest thing to Drew Brees in some drafts...

Tony Romo hasn't been able to finish a complete season and has injuries that have him already in a fragile state...

Cowboys have a terrific defensive line; though I could see taking Bosa or Buckner and shipping off a veteran DE for a second or third round pick...

There's no way in today's NFL teams should be taking RBs in the first round; there's way to much wear and tear going on and it's not just the Saints that have learned to find UDRFA RBs...

Kinda expect either the Rams (now going to Los Angeles, need a splash) or the Eagles from pick 8 (need a quarterback to advance in the playoffs) to make a move and jump to the top of the first round and grab an elite...

If they don't, the Cowboys will be hard-pressed to pass on a quarterback who could be needed to start games for them by mid-season with a fragile Romo; they were a tough out last year, even without a quarterback...

Doctson reminds me of a Vincent Jackson...

FIFY

Let's see Vincent Jackson or Jerry Rice - 22,895 career rec yds (4.71 secs), Tim Brown career rec 14,934 yds (4.78 sec 40, with wind)...

That is a lot speed darting around in the hashes to cover. I can see them freeing each other up all over the field.

Then again a steady Freddie for Drew is always abused in our system.

As time goes on I am getting down the Cook pick. Nothing to with his talent it's more to do with not fitting in with the pieces we have on hand at WR.

Want everyone to close their eyes and concentrate, remember and let it burn in when Panther's CB Josh Norman smothered Brandin Cooks in the end zone when we nearly upset the Panthers in their house last season...

This is what many of us said would happen who were critical of moving up in the draft to take Cooks...

That will not happen with Treadwell; this is a first class man with a top flight ability to just making freaking plays, money plays...

I just hope the Master of Quan is there when we pick and der Kommissar is holding up that New Orleans Black and Gold Jersey No. 1 on Treadwell...

Disclaimer: Absolutely love Brandin Cooks and what he brings and how he brings it, just illustrating he's not a perfect receiver in certain situations...

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............

ok lets go with BPA at 12 then. Not needs or draft history based.

Let Ingram start at one goal line and PT start at the other. When they crash at mid field and the dust settles you have.

Ezekiel Elliott RB OSU 5115 225 4.47

Right now I am leaning this way.

We have need at RB and we all now Ingram is odds on favorite behind Byrd not to play 16 games

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............

Treadwell as a steady Freddie for Drew would not bother me one bit. On the bright side of things that 40 times opens a window to trade down a bit get a few picks and still have an honest shot at getting Treadwell. If by chance the gamble does not pay off Josh Doctson could be the other option out there.

Either way Treadwell or Doctson and a gamble trading down and adding picks just looks better and better with each passing day. I now have the best bet to trade up and get ahead of the dolphins is the raiders. Target CB. that is just a move from 12 to 14 and we could get 2 additional picks. end of day 2 and the start of day 3.

If the football gods do not deal us habd from the bottom of the deck, I call it a win win.
