Number1DraftPick
I was just thinking about the trends of our FO. In Bill's second year at Dallas, there was a similar draft (05). Two quarterbacks being considered top end prospects(Rogers and Smith). Overall, it was a pretty weak draft and the talent was spread out over the top few rounds. I was thinking about who he drafted and the needs of the team. He passed on Rogers when he fell in their laps. I guess my point is that he has his plan and I feel he is going to stick to it. Here is a quote from the draft in 05 (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft05/columns/story?columnist=clayton_john&id=2044649)
"• Dallas Cowboys: Coach Bill Parcells was the clear big winner in the draft. He bulked up his front seven with the additions of linebackers Demarcus Ware and Kevin Burnett and defensive end Marcus Spears. Combine that with the free-agent signing of nose tackle Jason Ferguson, and the Cowboys have the flexibility to go to a 3-4 defensive scheme or stay in a hybrid 4-3. The key was getting Ware as the pass-rusher. The Cowboys were getting the word out they were taking Shawne Merriman, who ended up going a pick later to San Diego. But Ware is a Charles Haley-type talent who can be a pass-rusher from the four-man line and a pass-rushing linebacker in the 3-4. He was one of the most unique defensive talents in the draft. Spears is the ideal end for a 3-4 scheme -- a big, strong 300-pounder with some playmaking ability. Burnett is able to play inside or outside linebacker." As far as the Jets go in his tenure. We can not compare our situation to that one because of the issue there with the Jets giving up picks to New England for the hiring. Where do you think we are going this year in the draft? Offense or defense? I feel he is definitely going defense and is getting some pass rushers.
