Draft Buzz in D-Town

After a disappointing end to a 2008 season. The Dallas Cowboys came in to this year’s NFL Draft providing plenty of head-scratchers. With a depleted secondary that lost five time Pro Bowler Roy Williams, everyone believed the biggest concern would be the secondary. The Boys passed up some safeties by trading down to get a larger number of picks. They had no picks on the first day and began Sunday by drafting a linebacker out of Western Illinois, James Williams. Another pick that many people are wondering about is the quarterback out of Texas A&M University Stephen Mcgee. As the seventh round of the draft ended the Cowboys tallied twelve total picks, their largest number in decades. They also totaled four players who will be battling in camp for starting positions in the secondary. A big concern going into next season according to owner/general manager Jerry Jones is the special teams. Special teams are the main reason the Cowboys drafted so many players. Throughout my football career my coaches have always told me that it is important to succeed in all three phases of the game, offense, defense, and special teams, and it also seems that Mr. Jones feels that way. The offense will look pretty much the same, and the 2009 season will be the time when Romo must quiet all critics. I'm ready to watch the Boys in silver and blue.
