*FLASHBACK-First Round Pick Preferences

Got to love this...

Only a select few wanted to go rush backer it looks like. The major pick was Moss too...kinda funny.

Well honestly, I listed all the players I liked at each of those positions that I thought we could target in round 1. Moving up for Branch was always my main hope. When we passed on him, I nearly fainted. Imagine us with him now??? OMG, can I take a minute to cry?

I wouldn't retract on anything I said.

I know we ended up going with Spencer, and I'm ok with having him. But he never impressed me when he played Hawaii. I think I've mentioned that ad nauseum. I had my doubts about him all the way up until we drafted him, then I had to put my highest hopes in him...now being a Cowboy. Personally, I would still rather have Jarvis Moss. I liken Moss to a younger Greg Ellis with more upside. He may not have that side line to side line range, but he sure can attack. Spencer has been active, but I'm hoping to see him get to the QB more as he seasons. Right now, he's just ok for a rookie.

What a useless thread.

I cant believe I thought Charles Johnson was going to be a late first - mid second guy

You were SO excited when we picked Spencer...you absolutely couldn't contain yourself.

In any event, I think that Spencer has been showing something, and that something has certainly contributed to Demarcus Ware's increased sack numbers over the last few games. Spencer has also been better dropping into coverage and playing the run the last few games.

p. s. I wanted Quentin Moses in the third round if he was there. That would've been effective.

I wanted us to go a different direction in the 1st, I liked Brian Robison as a hybrid and felt he was super athletic and could of made a difference, not only that we could of taken Branch where we were at, and maybe corner in the 2nd before we took Robison

I'm not sure if you were being sarcastic or not...but he got cut from Oakland and is now in Arizona where he doesn't seem to be getting much playing time. I'll just assume it was a joke.

You would be correct if you assume it's a joke...I'm not that lost that I don't know that Quentin Moses has been cut twice.
