NFL Draft

Any guesses as to surprises?

I can't see the Cowboys staying with Romo for another near-playoff or 1st round loss season - it might be dumb to get rid of him, but it would fit Jerry Jones' mentality. I'm guessing they trade Romo to the Dolphins for the #8 pick and hope Ryan Tannehill is still around.

Romo ain't going anywhere (on more than one level). Jerry still loves him.

Dallas trades up for # 6...

...wait for it


....never mind

Bigger problems with Cowboys then Romo. They probably filled their biggest need with their pick.

Giants pick up a smaller sized RB in the mold of Warwick Dunn and Tiki Barber. Hopefully he can learn to catch the ball like them. Looks like he runs with a big heart from the clips I've seen of him, so he'll fit in if he stays healthy.

Yeah, you are right about the Cowboys' pick - on paper, they had to go that route. But keeping Romo, it appears that they are happy with being either an 'almost playoff' team, or a legitimate contender with a quarterback that will choke somewhere before the Superbowl.

For two years I've said this, for two years he's blown it at a critical game, and they've always forgiven him because of his talent and the games where he plays great. Still, not a formula for Superbowl, or even NFC champs. Just my opinion, but so far it's unfortunately holding up.

There's not many QB's out there like that though. I think Romo is perfectly capable of putting together a nice run for a year or two if he has the right players around them.

He played really well last year actually. Cowboys defense was the problem.

Don't think any QB beyond Luck or Griffin was a can't miss in this draft. Certainly not Tannehill or Weedon.

Maybe they can pick up a darkhorse like Kellen Moore in the later rounds and develop him a few years down the road into a Drew Brees type QB.
