The cowboys now have their 11 draft picks for this year. They are getting an additional 5th and 6th round pick compensatory for the combined loss of Julius Jones, Jacqeus Reeves, and Nate Jones, each were unrestricted free agents when they departed after the 07 season.
This should put the Cowboys in even better position to trade up for some better picks, this year or next.
Of course this is basically no big surprise, but as it just became official today, figured you’d want to know.
That is a round better than I thought we would get for both. It’s nice to get something that was producing nothing for your team.
If I were Jerry, I would build my draft board around a possible move up to get into a second 2nd round pick for a Hakeem Nicks or Ron Brace. If the value is there, he should make the move.
Knowing Jerry, he will trade up and down, and then back up to get Quincy Carter back from the Abilene Ruff Riders.
