This week the 32 teams of the NFL will agonize over who to take and where to take them. Jerry Jones will be celebrating his 20th draft as the Dallas Cowboys owner. I say, “screw the draft Jerry, stick with known commodities”.
With 2 first round picks Jerry finds himself in the enviable position of leverage on draft day. But why not trade those picks for already established players to fill some pressing needs.
Need a young wideout to take some pressure off Terrell Owens and be able to stretch the defense? How about Chad Johnson? The Bengals claim that he isn’t on the block, BUT Jerry knows that everyone has a price. I think Chad is looking to leave but is trying not to rock the boat too much and lose face. Keep an eye on this one.
How about a cover corner more skills than anyone at this position since Deion? Pacman Jones would be a huge gamble, but the payoff could be a Super Bowl ring. He is that good. Unfortunately he is indefinitely suspended by the NFL because he has a rap sheet longer than Troy Polamalu’s hair.
Sure, there are talented young athletes available in the draft to fill these positions but why not trade some picks for a proven talent? Come on Jerry, pull the trigger…heck pull it twice. The Cowboys would become THE team to beat in the NFL in 2008.
