I don’t know that anyone is waiting anxiously for me to resume the Greatest Players by Number Series , but before I continue with that, here’s a look at some possible numbers for these new players.
[I assume that these players have not been assigned a number; if they have, just play along with me that they haven’t…]
Felix Jones, RB: #25

Things are starting to settle down after a hectic draft weekend. Most analysts give the Cowboys around a B for their draft, even though Felix Jones was not the most popular selection among many fans.
We all have to admit that when it comes to trading draft picks for other/more draft picks, few can match Jerry Jones, though.
A summary:
(1) Trade Akin Ayodele and Anthony Fasano to ...

This blog has covered two drafts, and I have wanted the Cowboys to take a shot on at least one receiver (and not the quarterback-turned-receiver that we got last year). Ain’t going to happen this year, either. Two running backs, two corners, a tight end, and a defensive end.
This analysis from NFL.com doesn’t give me confidence:
Walden only had two sacks as a senior, but ...

The Cowboys made yet another trade and picked
up the 143rd pick. With this selection, Dallas took
Boise State cornerback Orlando Scandrick. Dallas gave up a fifth and seventh to get Scandrick, who has apparently been high on the Dallas charts since the combine. Scandrick apparently has major character problems that will need to be resolved. However, just four days before the draft, a ...
Our friend Jerry has been frantically swapping picks all morning. When we finally got to a selection– the 122nd overall pick– Dallas took another running back. I am now giving up on the team going after a receiver.
Highlights:
Bio :
Choice was highly productive at Georgia Tech and was the centerpiece of the offense. Whether he can play that role in the NFL is ...

I can accept the Felix Jones pick, but I don’t quite get this one. With their second round pick, Dallas took Texas A&M tight end Martellus Bennett. This comes one day after Dallas traded Anthony Fasano (along with Akin Ayodele) to Miami for a fourth rounder.
Highlights:
Here’s another video of Bennett (a former basketball player) dunking over Dennis ...

The Cowboys traded up with Seattle from 28th to 25th so that Dallas could take South Florida CB Mike Jenkins. This was a solid pick, given the needs in the secondary and the uncertainty of the Pacman Jones signing.
Highlights:
And the bio :
Regarded as one of the nation’s premier shutdown pass defenders, Jenkins teamed with Trae Williams to give the Bulls an ...

No surprises here: the Cowboys took RB Felix Jones with their first pick in the draft. Fans certainly aren’t happy, but we’ve expected this for months now.
Here is a highlight film:
And the bio :
Arkansas’ duo of Felix Jones and Darren McFadden electrified Fayetteville for years. The junior tandem is taking the act to the NFL and not everyone is convinced ...

The draft begins at 2 p.m., and teams have only 10 minutes between selections as opposed to 15 minutes. With the 22nd pick, Dallas will probably make its selection somewhere around 5 p.m.
Here is the draft order of the first round, which I will update as teams make their picks.
1 (1) Miami Dolphins: Jake Long , T, Michigan.
Note: The Dolphins already signed Long, so we’ve ...

According to the DMN blog , the Cowboys have traded linebacker Akin Ayodele and tight end Anthony Fasano to the Miami Dolphins for a fourth round pick this weekend. It is possible that neither player was going to contribute as much in 2008, but a 4th rounder seems low for these two.
Here’s the impact:
Linebacker
Ayodele’s tackles dropped from 84 to 57 between 2006 and ...

Others have done a far better job of covering the mock drafts and such, but here are some thoughts on some possible draft mistakes that the Cowboys should avoid this weekend:
(1) Don’t forget that Pacman still has a large hill to climb
The odds, I think, are actually against Pacman Jones thriving in Dallas. While there are numerous examples of players with behavior problems from ...

The Cowboys on Wednesday completed a trade for cornerback Pacman Jones , which ends a long process of debate and will likely influence the team’s priorities in the draft this weekend.
Jerry Jones has taken plenty of risks as a businessman and owner and general manager of the Cowboys.
He is taking another one in Adam “Pacman” Jones.
On Wednesday, the Cowboys agreed in ...

As of February 26 , Arkansas running back Felix Jones led all others in my review of the Cowboys’ two first-round picks in 100 mock drafts. At that time, Tennessee State’s Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie had the second highest number of “votes.”
The landscape has, to say the least, changed a bit. Rodgers-Cromartie and Troy CB Leodis McKelvin have both jumped way up on ...
