derekeagleton:  We can assume they have to address certain positions on the defense before the season (DE & S), so they will likely sign some free agents. 279 days ago
derekeagleton:  Free agency may be the answer. RT @IssacM1980: what happened to the defense?! Guess rob Ryan is a genius and didn't need help?! Good grief. 279 days ago
derekeagleton:  I do like the fact that Dallas used picks in areas where players may be aging or declining. Whether the picks replace them...we'll see. 279 days ago
derekeagleton:  I'm a believer in taking best available so position not as important to me. RT @VL_theLibra: based on positions, how do you feel about draft 279 days ago
derekeagleton:  Check back with me in 3-4 years...silly for anyone to grade a draft now. RT @Supanov: @DCStarJEllis Your grade for our draft would be? 279 days ago
derekeagleton:  Watch the Cowboys final draft press conference right now on DallasCowboys.com: http://bit.ly/kwctuA. #Cowboys #NFLDraft 279 days ago
robphillips3:  They actually have a jersey for Mr. Irrelevant. Love that. 279 days ago
robphillips3:  Wisconsin's head coach is on the NFL Network set. Says Bill Nagy is probably best suited as a center or guard. Versatile, he says. 279 days ago
robphillips3:  ...going back to Parcells. But yeah, a lot of team captains in this group. 279 days ago
robphillips3:  RT @allmycircuits Seems like a high character draft. Garrett's mark on this draft class? > That's been a pattern since I've been here... 279 days ago
robphillips3:  The current lockout rules will prevent teams from signing rookie FAs right now. But the 49th pick in the round (252) is as close as it gets. 279 days ago
robphillips3:  FB Shaun Chapas w/ first 7th rounder. One compensatory pick left, the 49th pick in the 7th. 279 days ago
robphillips3:  RT @AlbertBreer It's hard for me to look at Greg McElroy, and not think Jason Garrett. Could play a long time, & coach some day. > Agreed. 279 days ago
DCStarJEllis:  Go, go, go... 279 days ago
DCStarJEllis:  RT @AU_Drew we just want the right kind of guy for our football team. Its part of the process.} Just keep stacking good picks together? 279 days ago
DCStarJEllis:  Spoke to Murray as well. Seemed to be another good kid, bright, and I liked his suit even better than Carters. #fashionshow 279 days ago
DCStarJEllis:  Like Harris' production... was the Conferense USA MVP last year. Doesn't look like an elite athlete, though. A Little Crayton. 279 days ago
robphillips3:  RT @RY_Young9 looks like a good slot receiver > Crayton-esque? If so, they'll be pleased. 279 days ago
derekeagleton:  DeMarco Murray's live press conference can be seen at: http://bit.ly/luAu6Z 279 days ago
robphillips3:  Pass-catching ability and kick return experience are my guesses. Different type of back than Ridley, who also could help on sp. teams units. 279 days ago
