Asked by howard if mochrie

A: Thanks for the question Howard.

There are many people who agree with you in thinking that Jerry Jones should keep his hands out of the player personnel issues. But guess what? That is NEVER going to happen.

Jerry and his sons live for making those type of decisions and, believe it or not, they are very smart businessmen. The team is worth more than almost any other sports franchise in the world and the value grows every year.

To answer your question, he gets some of the old coaches from the recycling heap, but I assure you that the Cowboys have many coaches that are respected throughout the league. They do seem to have trouble getting the right mix of players and coaches but with the moves this offseason, maybe they are taking on more of Wade Phillips' personality…for better or worse!

We'll see.

Dallas Cowboys Fifth Round Picks

Jay Burgess — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 21:00:15 +0000

In the fifth round of the 2009 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys had another 3 picks to use. And much like the fourth round, they took a couple of defensive players and a shot at a dark horse.

The Cowboys chose DeAngelo Smith of Cincinnati with the 143rd pick. He is a cover cornerback who could be moved to safety due to his size and physical nature.

Michael Hamlin a safety from Clemson was taken with the 166th pick. He will help fill gaps in the secondary left by Pacman Jones, Roy Williams and Anthony Henry.

With the 172nd pick the Cowboys chose a kicker from USC, David Buehler. Even though Nick Folk appears to have a strangle hold on that position with the Cowboys, Buehler is a physical specimen at 6′2″, 227 lbs. Jerry Jones does have a history of taking a chance with unproven kickers, so we’ll see how this competition plays out.

Once again, the fifth round was no surprise with Jerry Jones and son Stephen taking more defense. Stockpiling depth at all positions. This leaves the Cowboys with 2 picks in each of the final two rounds. Can I guess, more defense, or will they find a WR to take a flyer on?

Dallas Cowboys Top 5 Needs In The 2009 NFL Draft

Jay Burgess — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 02:35:33 +0000

Going into the 2009 NFL Draft the Cowboys have plenty of needs even though they are returning a strong core of players. These are my Top 5 areas for Jerry Jones to improve upon.

1. Safety-The Dallas Cowboys weakness at Safety became glaringly apparent with the decline of Roy Williams. The teams who could exploit this weakness had no trouble scoring at will. Look for Jerry to look for a safety first and often. The top safety available is Louis Delmas from Western Michigan, but don’t look for him to fall far enough for the Cowboys to pick him up.

2. Offensive Tackle-Obviously the Cowboys are getting old at this spot. Now is a good time to start stockpiling for the future.

3. Linebacker-It is becoming apparent that Bobby Carpenter isn’t going to be a future cornerstone of the defense. You know Wade Phillips is going to want to shore up his defense here.

4. Wide Receiver-Yes, we have a lot of wide receivers but are any of them dominant? I don’t think so, and Jerry loves to draft him some receiver.

5. Cornerback-It is usually possible to find some gems in the later rounds in the defensive backfield. Teams are afraid to spend early picks on unproven guys who aren’t stars at the hot positions, QB, RB, WR.

There are many places for Jerry Jones and his boys to improve. Moving into the new stadium this year, it is important for the Cowboys to perform well and keep the fans coming back. You can bet that Jerry will be wheeling and dealing on Draft Day 2009. I can’t wait!
