Dallas waived their first round draft pick last season when they picked up Roy Williams from the Lions (what is it with the 'Boys negotiating constantly with the Lions?). So that meant the earliest they could pick during this '09 draft was at #51 (second round)...yesterday's opening rounds saw Dallas waive that 51st pick over to the Bills. Their next pick would be during today's opening third round at the #69 spot (a slot which was waived to Dallas from the Browns) and they picked up Jason Williams an OLB from Western Illinois, he was drafted 5th in this round which places him at #69 overall. This is by far the best pick to come from Dallas and co. "good going"...
Then at the # 75 overall spot still in the third round (11th pick in the round), they drafted Robert Brewster a defensive tackle from Ball St; I liked Brewster, but not over some defensive players that Tech had to offer. Stupid Jerry Jones, he is still showing his naivete and stupidity. I know I possess a strong bias in relation to my Red Raiders, but they really had an outstanding group of players to offer my 'Boys, but they (Dallas & Jerry) went on a nasty, rotten tangent instead. Lastly in the third round, Dallas gave up their overall 82nd pick (18th in the round) to Detroit. Part of the stupid Detroit connection.
At 101st pick to start off the 4th round, they did the unthinkable...Dallas was rumored to pick up Graham Harrell somewhere in the 4th round, instead they went for Stephen McGee the feakin' QB from Aggieland. He merely started 3 games last season in his SR year as an Aggie QB and only appeared in a total of 6 games. An o.k. choice but certainly NOT BETTER than Harrell. We did all that idiotic trading with Detroit for him. Like I said, Jones is stupid. Must be drinking again!!! (AH)...later in the 4th round Dallas picked up another spot from the Bills for the overall 110th slot (10th in this round) and took Victor Butler an OLB from Oregon State. Dallas' overall 117th pick was waived over to the Bucs. That worked for me because Dallas traded the 117th pick for the Bucs overall 120th pick and took a Red Raider with them...Brandon Williams a DE from Tech.
They also did some more trading and such going into the 5th round...at 143rd overall, they finagled for a trade for the slot from Oakland but originally from Atlanta. They picked up DeAngelo Smith a CB from Cincinnati. In turn during this 5th round, the Falcons will pick up Dallas' original trade at the #156 overall slot. Jerry, put down that bottle!!! Not wanting to further my details of their remaining picks, I stop there and end that by stating that by the end of the day the 'Boys ended up with 12 total picks and my report card grade to them for their wheelin' and dealin' is a "B"...most picks were all right. Mel Kiper (ESPN anyalyst/pundit) gave them a "D" for opting out of first & second rounds and so on...he was not impressed with their overall picks; several sport's pundits seem to believe that Dallas did not focus on the positions which are in dire need of revamping.
