My Guys 2016

[Roy P]

The board is fluid. As I am watching the Combine, I was impressed with the RBs...Henry, Elliott, Prosise, Lasco. The OL Conklin, Spriggs, Kelly, Westerman, Dahl, and McGovern gave me hope. I was disappointed by Dixon (wish he was faster) and Booker (wish he would have been able to run) and Decker (looked stiff). I have decided to be all in with Dak Prescott and have Lynch as my fall back guy. The board will change again the next few days once I can analyze all the data. Then even more as I continue to mock and see what I can expect on draft day.

That is one of the changes that jumped at me. I want to see the guys throw.

Also Elliot was faster than i was expecting, but his pass catching skills sucked. He is not going to be a Foster clone, but he can block and run with the best of them.

Dixon's time was respectable and faster than Arian Fosters forty (4.68) in his combine. And his hands are natural, he looked very fluid with the ball in the air. Now Dixon did look stiff in the hips.

Also I was impressed by Henry, he was not fighting the ball like Elliot in the pass catching drills. For a huge man, he looked very good.

My hope is that we trade down and pick Prescott in the 1st round.

Henry was explosive for his size. Elliott not being a very good receiver concerns me. Dixon was good but less than I expected. Prosise reminds me of David Johnson.

If we trade down and gain additional picks, I would love to get Westerman and plug him in at OC and maybe Joe Dahl to play RG if we don't sign our FAs.

And in most of my mocks, i am jumping all over the trade down idea. Unless you are sold on one of the guys at 22, trade down and grab picks. There are a few 4-3 DE/3-4 OLB that we have no business taking that might be garnering some trade interest.

I'm thinking that a team might be willing to trade for Lawson or Calhoun....perhaps a RB or OT too.

A case could be made that we need an OT and/or RB, not as much as we need more picks in the first 4 rounds, preferably in the top 3 rounds.

And now that they are talking about keeping Foster.

I agree that we need a RB and OT. But if we could pick up extra picks by trading down, those picks could potentially be parlayed into Kenneth Dixon and Kyle Murphy and I would still be able to select Dak Prescott. If I am getting my guy to develop, I want the luxury of surrounding him with support instead of forfeiting picks to trade up for a Paxton Lynch. I considered what the Redskins gave up for RGIII.

We won't cut Foster because of his salary...we will cut him because of his inability to stay healthy. It's not a lie by Rick Smith, it's semantics. The GM wants to have a"poker face" considering the owner has told the world that we are getting a QB.
