One of my closest friends is a huge Falcons fan. First thing he said while he was on the phone with me today was "I hate you."

DAL fared way better than NE did tradewise that's for sure.

Next years draft class looks to be a good one. Dallas is trading up to get second round talent at a first round price. Of course they'll have a top 15 pick next year.

They'll probably need them too.

1- Don't count out Cleveland for a turn around. They got Steinbach and Lewis, and now they have a very good tackle, and a franchise qb. They already made huge strides on D last year, and they have some viable weapons on offense.

2- What happened to Alan Branch? i don't even see him on Kiper's overall draft board. I thought he was supposed to be a top 15 pick, now it's looking like he's a 3rd round pick?

3- Cowboys suck. Nuff said.

Too late. ARZ selected Branch, first pick in the second. I'm not sure why he slid this far. The injury (fractured shins) weren't cited or confirmed and it's hard that the experts judged him on lack of productivity and laziness when he singlehandedly anchored NCAAs best defense! I mean look at how he boosted productivity for his teammates Leon Hall 3 INTs 15 PBUs 45 tackles and Lamar Woodley 12 sacks 36 tackles 16.5 TFLs.

Congrats, you called a pick that doesn't help our needs.

Why would it NOT help our needs?

We NEED a d line. He is another hard hitting safety. How is it we were all thrilled to get Adam Archuletta at first, then we were all thrilled to get rid of him when he didn't fit into our system? But now we went out and DRAFTED someone cut from a similar mold as AA???? That doesn't sound a little looney to you? We were better off drafting a Leon Hall type player and letting Springs play safety.
It kinda does hurt us considering YET A-FREAKIN-GAIN we will have NO pass rush. I don't know about you, that is pissing me off. How many years do we have to suffer with no pass rush before we learn. Williams can only disguise so many blitzes, and send the farm so many times. We saw how well that worked out last year.

Landry is known as a better coverage guy and he should create the mismatches Williams envisioned with Archuletta.

Don't rule out Fletcher making our defense more stout against the run and commanding it the way Pierce did. I think you are going to see a big time improvement immediately.

What? You wanted Alan Branch (1st pick, 2nd round) at number six overall? You heard Gibbs. No teams were calling to trade up that far. If DAL got what they did from CLE what do you think would've been compensation for 6th overall?

What are you talking about?
Have you not seen my other posts? I wanted Okoye or a DE like Anderson at 6. I think Landry is a fine player, don't get me wrong, but he doesn't fit our needs, and doesn't fit our system since we have Taylor.

No offense JSARNO. IMO and and also in the eye of most experts Okoye and Anderson need some coaching up and bulking up. If Landry, Okoye and Anderson was available when ATL and HOU selected they would've picked Landry too.

Rest assured Snyder will bolster the DL and LB corps before long. Any doubters?

And how exactly are we going to get more draft picks when we have a 5th rounder coming up?
