Well Day One has come and gone in D-land and it has been an eventful day. The new ownership of Dallas has taken hold. The Cowboys had 4 number one picks and made several deals through out the day.
Draft Picks Day 1
1. RB Grant Sassar- Ownership had their mind made up on this pick as soon they took control of the franchise. A much needed multiple offensive threat, expected to make an immediate impact.
2. LB Howard Reeves- Although there are injury concerns, this is another player expected to step up. He has the speed and quickness to fit our scheme in Dallas.
3. QB John Dodd- A bit of a reach in the first round, but we needed someone with the strength to get the ball to the receivers downfield.
4. LB Ronald Dyess- Dyess was one of our favorites going in and the time seemed right. Dyess, Reeves, and the acquistion of Jeff Harper yesterday, this is a good young solid core at linebacker.
The Aftermath
As soon as the Dyess pick was made, Dallas continued to maintain their active presence on day 1.
Dallas sent their 4th and 6th pick to the Texans for CB Timothy Bohan. Bohan will start at CB and adding the veteran will help continue our building of hopefully a solid defense.
Dallas looking at moving up in the middle rounds made a couple of deals. Hooking up with the Texans again, they dealt the first pick of the 3rd round and 7th round for Houston's 3rd(17) and 4th round(6)
Dallas then traded down and added a pick as they sent a 2nd round(27) to the Bills in exchange for the Bills 3rd round(14) and 4th round(16)
We are always looking at strengthening our squad. We always look at deals that may benefit both teams. We are in constant negotiations.
