Cowboys fans what do you think of our 1st round pick?

I liked the pick of Carpenter. I think he is a good linebacker and seemed to be a rather safe pick. I think he is a talented guy that will be hard working for the Cowboys and will complement DeMarcus Ware nicely. Our LB corps are going to terrorize any team they go up against this year :-)

I do, actually thats why I posted earlier on who would be the best pick in this draft.  Of course I picked a blue chip.  But no1 knows this guy at ALL.  People listen to the media more than anything. And Im reading these answers and they really aren't backing their stuff up!  Williams never had the spotlight in his 4 years at Memphis (Hello its Memphis, not USC with Leinart and NFL Talents especially on the OFFENSIVE LINE).  He can run the ball 50 times a game, run for 2000 yards, durable, power yet with shifty moves.  I compare him to an Edgerrin James, Shaun Alexander kind of back.  Memphis passing offense stunk yet Williams helped them pull through a couple of games against some good teams.  Of Course Bush will get the spotlight, and he deserves it too but as for the NFL i think durability is a much bigger factor than returning kickoffs and punt returns for tds (which is a lot more rare in the NFL).  Bush also split carries with LenDale White.  Not saying hes a bad runner, but I compare bush to Brian Westbrook of the eagles.  And westbrook is not an in between runner.  Ok I could go on. LOL but I think its a definate possibility that Williams could be better.  But If you really want the best player in the draft i'd put my hopes in Vince Young.

I think Lendale White to the Tennessee Titans in the second round is going to turn out to be the steal of the draft.  He was projected to go Top 10 and then a minor injury and minor character issues surfaced before the draft.  Great pick!  And great question!  I'd like to know who you think it was.  Maybe you can add your pick to your comments.

(Still chuckling at Random thoughts' answer above)\n\nI take it your question refers to my Buffalo Bills' terrible first day at the NFL Draft, Moon? Well, let me see if I can explain...\n\nThe Bills had/have serious needs at the following positions: offensive linemen, defensive linemen, and the secondary. They also had/have major question marks at quarterback, wide receiver and tight end. On day one, which is when the best talent is available, they failed to address the O-line at all (a catastrophic mistake in a draft deep in quality offensive linemen). They made an insane reach pick, trading away their 2nd and 3rd round picks to get an overrated defensive tackle at the end of round one whom I had ranked 10th among DTs on my list and Mel Kiper (draft expert) had ranked 12th. Only TWO DTs had been taken off the board at that time. In other words, they could have picked this guy up one or even two full rounds later. Insane!\n\nThey did address their needs in the secondary but even managed to screw that up. Their first pick was drafted at least 10-15 places higher than he should have been. They could have traded down to get the same guy (and picked up an extra draft choice in the process) or taken a better player at the same position (I can think of at least a half-dozen who were available). It was the WORST Bills draft I have ever followed and I and other Bills fans I've since commiserated with (including my three brothers) am bitterly disappointed and dejected by the dreadful experience.\n\nThe best explanation I can give you is that the very geriatric Bills owner, Ralph Wilson, hired an equally ancient former head coach, Marv Levy, as GM (a job he is simply NOT qualified for -- and he has been proving it on a daily basis since making the WRONG head coaching hire). Why should we Bills fans be surprised by how terrible they conducted the draft? Truly awful... We'll be lucky to match last year's hideous 5-11 record this season... I'll say 4-12 at worst, 6-10 at best... Sad.

I think he'll do really well. Last year, we didn't have all that much to work with! Everyone was on the injured list, how can you blame him for that? Maybe his interception record isn't all that hot, and maybe he's getting older, but the guy is still on fire and he brings a hell of a lot to the game. I couldn't be prouder to be a Cheesehead and I think that even if we don't make it to or past the play-offs, we'll definitely do much better than our 4-12 last year, no doubt. Bring it on!

i think the cowboys made alot of important moves in the offseason.  the most important move they made was to get terrell owens.  he's a big part of the receiving core and they will definitely need him for possessions and game breaking plays.  they also picked up the rookie linebacker from ohio state.  the cowboys will be good competitor this year in the nfc east.  hopefully, they will go deep into the playoffs.

I'm not going all that detailed, I'm sticking with just the first 2 rounds.\n\nFerguson is a very good possiblility, unless the Jets disappoint us again and trade down. We need protection, but our offensive line is better than Houston's; they need him more than we do. Pennington and Fiedler have just had unfortunate luck.\n\nIf the person above me really is involved with the Jets front office, then they would know that Jay Cutler is NOT going to drop to the second round. The Jets could take Anthony Smith, safety out of Syracuse. I know who he is, and he will be a sleeper because he played on an aweful team. But according to Mel Kiper, he has excellent cover skills for a safety, and will help Ty Law in the backfield.

Well, I am laughing at the Texans right now. I am a Dallas fan. Thank God that they are not getting Bush. Now the Saints are going to be pretty good though. Brees and Bush. But who knows? This draft has been getting crazier ever since January 4.

Yes, he will go to the Texans because most people believe he is the most electrifying player in the draft. However, I'm not that huge a fan. His size and limited touches makes me think of Desmond Howard. \n\nThe Texans have Domanick Davis already. They should definitely try to trade out of the top spot.

I would think that the general consensus answer would and should be no. No disrespect to Texas, because they had an outstanding year last year, but it is so difficult to repeat. I am a huge Ohio St. fan and I am not just saying that they wont because Texas beat us last year, but being an OSU fan I understand how hard it is. Ohio St. probably could have a few years ago when Clarrett decided to screw up and not play that season. It is hard enough to win 1 national championship, let alone win 2. Thing is, Texas lost a lot from their championship team last year, not just Vince Young. Along with losing Vince Young they lost 12 significant players. The players not returning from last years team, who got drafted include:\n\n\nQB Vince Young (3rd overall pick to Titans)\nS Michael Huff (7th overall pick to Raiders)\nCB Cedric Griffin (48th overall pick to Vikings)\nTE David Thomas (86th overall pick to Patroits)\nOT Jonathan Scott (141st overall pick to Lions)\nDT Rodrique Wright (226th overall pick to Dolphins, and possibly the biggest steal in the entire draft being that he was ranked in the top 5 of DT's and got drafted that late.)\n\n\nThey have  quite a few guys who didnt get drafted either including O Lineman Will Allen, and Mike Garcia. LB's Aaron Harris, and Eric Hall, and their other DT Larry Dibblesand Punter Richmond McGee. \n\nLosing 12 guys from a national championship team is tough including the possible MVP of any team Vince Young who they probably would have been 8-4 without considering that he beat Oklahoma St, Ohio St, and Oklahoma by himself. They have some of the pieces in place by keeping WR Limas Sweed, and breaking in new QB Jevan Snead. They will defintely compete, but all things considered, Oklahoma is loaded this year and will probably win the Big 12 South starting again this year. Texas will not be bad whatsoever though, I see them going maybe 9-3, or 10-2 dropping games to Ohio St week 2 (not a hometown pick either they just have too much offensively) and to Oklahoma considering all that they have coming back, including my pick for the Heisman RB Adrian Peterson. Don't worry Texas fans, you guys will be very good again this upcoming season, trust me I wish Ohio State wasnt playing them, they are still a very scary team.

I'm going with the Giants in a close one. \n\nThe Cowboys made a great addition with the aquistion of Owens. Giving them quite the offense with Bledsoe, Jones, Owens, Barber and Witten. \n\nThat unit will put up points this year. \n\nThe D has less names but just as much talent. I look at Ware, Williams and the rest of the D-town crew and see a stout D.\n\nOn the other side you have 3rd year QB Manning and one of the scariest offenses in the league. They don't seem that bad, the line needs a little work but Manning, Burress, Shockey and Barber are all playmakers. Toomer and now little Moss add nice options to the passing game as well.\n\nOn D I look at the addition of Lavar Arrington as another great piece to this team. A linebacker like him with Strahan and co. should make an impact not felt in Washington. He is a better player then he gets credit for and the change in scenery should show that. \n\nMy guess? \nGiants 21, Dallas 20\n\n\n*** This of course assumes that TO will keep it together in Dallas and be able to play for the season****

Johnny, Dallas didn't have a losing record.\n\nI gotta go with Arizona too, shockingly.  I have to believe they're going to use the draft to improve that defense.  Add in the fact their in the NFC west, which has a history of not being very good, regardles of Seattle last season, and I think they have a legitimate shot at the playoffs this year.

I think Romo has benefited from being on the sidelines for the last few years.  He has had time to learn from some good quarterbacks and also get a good handle on the playbook.  Judging by the way he's playing right now he is going to be a good quarterback for a while.  He is very mobile and he's giving the Cowboys another weapon...  something Bledsoe couldn't give them....

Of course, he'll come through..there hasn't been a year when he didn't produce on the field...Just cause he caused so many problems before doesnt mean that he will do it again...plus it's not like he's such a bad guy...other football players beat their wifes or are caught doing drugs(onterrio smith),and lets not forget the love boat whore house over their in minnesota(daunte)...T.O. doesn't do any of those things. \nI think the cowboys have the best team in the east this year and a huge reason is because of him.

Right now, I m not 2 sure about the Bears winning it all, mostly because I m not 2 sure bout Grossman. Will he deliver in pressure situations. Other than tat, tey got a really good team. Their Def is rank 1 in the NFL. Other teams I would consider would b the Colts n the cowboys. Cowboys is really comin along, Romo is leadin the pac n totally impressed me, when tey beat the colts.

yes just cause of T.O. and Mike Vanderjagt everyone expects the cowboys to be so good, if anyone paid attention T.O. just made the eagles lose most of their games with his fued with donavan and even the cowboy fans can't say that they aren't nervous atleast a little bit about him and Bledsoe all it takes is one word out of T.O.'s mouth to make Bledsoe cry and start pouting which will end up with him NEVER throwing it to T.O., and vandergagt is just a field goal kicker who gets 3 points as the highest, yeah he is good but would you rather have someone like Portis who could get you 6 instead of 3? Plus Brunell is probably the most underated Q.B. in the whole league same with Chris cooley except he's probably the most underated tight end in the league.

#1 Drew Bledsoe is a fantastic quarterback. Sure, he may not be Peyton, or Tom Brady but I'd take him over 60% of the quarterbacks in the league right now. He still produces and saying that hes going to do what he did in Buffalo is ignorant Buffalo hasn't had any talent aside from Bledsoe in about 7 years! \n#2 T.O. is a problem receiver but noone can argue that his talent is that within the top 10 receivers ever to play the game...EVER!! I'll take the risk. Did I want him before we signed him? No. But I'll take his talent. And with a contract happy Terry Glenn sitting across the field from him which reciever are the defenders going to defend? Double both! And then watch Crayton rape them across the middle and short. \n#3 Stop talking about the Bears defense until they show up again next year. Sure Urlacher is a great player but they had a wonderful year last year and we've all seen teams fall off the face of the earth year to year. And for god sakes who the hell is Tampa Bay!? They had a DECENT year last year and looked silly in the playoffs.\n#4 I love how Vanderjagt missed a kick in the playoff game and everyones throwing him under the bus!? Last I checked he's still the most accurate kicker in the history of the NFL. I don't mind having him kicking our FGs. Name two other kickers you'd rather have kicking your game winning field goal? Vinatieri? ok.......alright. noone thank you.
