Cowboys & Jamal Charles

[Astrosdawg07]

What do you Cowboys fan think about the Cowboys taking Jamal Charles in the first round if he is still there? We will need another HB with the loss of Julius Jone and I think he speed will be a good contrast to Barbers tough running style.

The name I keep hearing and seeing is Felix Jones. I don't know if they are gonna take a RB in the first round, but if they wait until the second, they may be able to get Charles there. I don't think he'll be a first round pick.

[Emerson1]

If he is still there in the 2nd depending on how many have gone already then they should take him. He didn't show anything in college that made him worth a first round draft pick.

With the ties Jerry has to UA, I think he'll do whatever it takes to land either McFadden or Jones. However, I don't think there's any way he'll get McFadden since he'll be taken in top three picks.

Jones has been known to trade up. But, to get the real scoop, we will have to hear from G$$, he will know all the inside stuff, rock solid sources, take it to the bank type stuff.:rolleyes: :thinking:

Actually Jones has been known more to trade down

What happened to Julius Jones? Haven't been paying attention to the Cowboys since the loss to the Giants. I know his playing time was cut late in the season and he might get traded or cut.

Charles fared well at the Skills competition I saw on tv recently. It will be interesting to see what he does at the combine.

[Adidas410s]

Charles is a 2nd to 3rd round RB....no need to waste a 1st rd pick on a small RB NOT named Emmitt Smith...

He's a free agent and neither side has any interest in each other.

Jones was a terrible pick by the Cowboys. He had not proved anything in college and Jones was trying to play Jimmy Johnson and find a diamond in the rough. Too bad it didnt work.

Maybe I just dislike Jones because he played at Notre Dame.

[kepdawg]

I don't care who they take, where they take them, or what they pay them as long as they can play!

Actually Jones played pretty well, he was just overshadowed by the emergence of Barber.

That was not a "Jerry Jones" pick, that was a Bill Parcells pick all the way..Big Bill ran the draft while he was here, not Jerry

Right on.

Jones wanted to take Steven Jackson, but Parcells wanted to trade down and grabbed Jones in the next round.

[Macarthur]

True, Julius Jones is a Bill Parcells special. While he did a very good job of rebuilding the roster, he did have some misses.

emerson is right; Charles does not have a first round grade. I think I read most people have him with a 3rd round grade. I would not mind the boys getting him in the 2nd depending on what happens before then. If we have addressed DB, then I'm okay with it.

Yeah Jones had some moments...I remember specifically that big Monday night game he had vs. Seattle and a 194-yd game vs. Carolina.

[TexanAlum_06]

Jones was great when he got out into the open field.... but that didnt happen very often......

[TexanAlum_06]

I think JC's biggest question marks are his size and durability, the fumbling issues could pose problems for him as well. with a healthy productive senior season he could of easily been a 1st rounder.

but right there you listed three issues...do you really think they would have all gone away in a year?

I doubt even if he had stayed he would have moved higher than a second rounder.

Durabiltiy and fumble issues yes..size no...the guy is 6'1 205..yes he could add maybe 10 pounds, but he is not a little guy or anything

[TexanAlum_06]

no theres no garuntee none of those things would of changed, BUT... ASSUMING he would of improved his physical stature and gotten stronger in the off-season and started next year with the Fire we saw in him the last 5 games of the season with an improved and more experienced offensive line, and less RB's in the nation to compete with (mc fadden, UCF RB.. etc)...... the pieces would of been in place for an oustanding season statistically and national exposure wise, heisman.... blah blah you never know. IMO he needed another year of development before going pro. Thats just my opinion on the matter, afterall this is a message board and 90% of the posts on this board are OPINIONS. and we are entitled to them.

Yeah good point, I was thinking he was smaller, IDK why he just seems small to me for a RB. by the numbers he isnt. thanks for the facts...
