    Like Wagner, but honestly we don't need best in the league at RT, we just need better than what we've put out there. There's a market full of tackles that can play that spot.

    For me you address OT in the first round, in a perfect world Cam Robinson falls to where the Texans pick, he's really more of a RT prospect than a LT prospect, and that could cause teams to pass on him. In the 2nd round, I'm pretty open to take BPA but I'd be looking most closely at DB, ILB, and I'd even be fine with taking a flier on a project QB here.

    In FA, I want to lock up Nuk long term, I want to bring back Ryan Griffin at a reasonable deal, and in a perfect world, I bring in Adrian Peterson to platoon the RB duties. Also, in a perfect world, we bring in Romo and hope for the miracle that he has something left and can stay healthy.

    I really like Bouye, but I'd let him go if he's seeking top dollar, and there's no reason why he shouldn't be doing that.

    All of that is sort of plausible.....but a lot of it is very unlikely.

    I don't mind what you're suggesting, to be honest, but with such a deep running back and tight end class, I feel we shouldn't spend any free agency money on those positions. We can get a great pass catching tight end in the third round, most likely, and a legitimately good platoon RB in the fourth or fifth.

    Yeah, that makes sense, I just like the idea of AD coming back to Texas and having a shot to win here. I'm not sure we could get a RB that would be as good as AD possibly could be in that part time power back role, so I'd be all for it. That said, no chance it actually happens.

    As to the TE, I like that Ryan Griffin is comfortable with the system already and TE's notoriously take a while to get going in the NFL. I don't think Stephen Anderson is a legitimate TE, so I think even if we draft a TE, he might not be so good his first season. I dunno, I wouldn't really care one way or the other when it comes down to it though.

    If anything you draft an elite LT prospect in the first and play him on the right side until Brown is over the hill.

    Well sure, but this draft doesn't have many good LT prospects so those guys should be gone by the time we draft. It would be ideal though.

    Since that might happen sooner than later, this is what I would do as well. I wouldn't mind waiting till the second though if the right prospect isn't available.

    Parents encourage your kids to play sports, if they're good they can become legendary, if they're average they can just be rich

    Was this his reaction to Romo being cut ?
