With our first two picks of the 2009 NFL Draft, I think it is safe to assume that meeks has 100 percent full control of the defense. These are not plays Fox and Trgovac would have drafted. This is a good thing for us. Fox's defensive scheme is outdated and preditable. We added a good Pass rushing DE who will need some work on the run game compared to Freeney. And a saftey/nickel corner being compared to saftey on the colts

We will some more of the same tommorow adding depth to the lines and some BPA"S.

With Meeks running the D we will be a top 10 if not top 5 D

I don't see the logic in this.

Fox is a great NFL coach. Why is it just assumed that because the defense looks to be making some changes that Fox had to totally give up the defense to Meeks and only Meeks would make these picks? Fox was known to run a lot of cover 2 early on, even verging on a Tampa 2 scheme. If anything I would say these picks along with Fox hiring Meeks show that Fox is the one making the changes and Meeks was brought in for his knowledge of the scheme and the fact that Fox would trust Meeks with the defense under his supervision.

Everette Brown is going to be a STUD pass rusher. There is no doubt in my mind that this kid is going to be one of the best pass rushers in the league in the next 3-5 years. I don't know what we are going to do with Pep and I know that he is a freak yada yada yada. But I am not concerned at all with the DEs we have now. If Pep ends up leaving next year then Brown will be ready to step in and take his place.

This is a very good football player and an even better person...very active in the community already and to me that shows a commitment to excellence which IMO is something that is way undervalued as opposed to pure physical skills.

I just watched a few minutes of him and he put the "Freeney spin move" on a VT OT...same dimensions (a little taller) and same playing style as DF. We got ourselves a good one this year.

We will pick up a DT tomorrow but I think the rest of the picks will be offensive. But I agree Fox is listening to Meeks. If fox was doing it we would have taken a DT first.

I say we draft 2 DT.

What the hell is up with the dolphins avatar? Just because they drafted your boy Pat White?

I don't know, I still have a strong feeling that we are gonna pick up Dwayne Robertson, I think that has been part of the plan all along, just waiting for cap room.

      Cowboys Trade for Jonathan Mingo

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Jonathan Mingo to the Cowboys Cowboys receive: WR Jonathan Mingo, 2025 seventh-round pick Panthers receive: 2025 fourth-round pick  Dallas Cowboys: C Leave it to Jerry Jones to wait until after Dak Prescott is injured to go after another receiver. To be fair, the Dallas Cowboys have a real need for the position. CeeDee Lamb is a superstar, but Jalen Tolbert and Brandin Cooks haven't been the needle movers that the Cowboys were hoping for. Making a trade for a receiver wasn't a bad move, but the player that the Cowboys gave up three rounds of value to acquire is questionable. Jonathan Mingo checked a lot of physical and athletic boxes as the 40th-overall pick in 2023. Unfortunately, the 6-foot-2, 220-pound wideout has struggled to be a productive receiver at the NFL level. Some of that has to do with playing for the Carolina Panthers, but Mingo has seriously lacked efficiency at the position. Mingo has yet to record his first NFL touchdown, catching 55 passes for 539 yards. Per TruMedia, he has just 0.74 yards per route run in his career, which ranks 177th out of 186 receivers with at least 50 targets since the start of the 2023 season.Even though Mingo fills a need, that's a lot of value to give up for a receiver that's struggled so much at the NFL level. The good news is that he still has a couple more years on his rookie deal, so at least the Cowboys are getting a cheap developmental project to learn from a star like Lamb. Carolina Panthers: A Instead of trying to hold onto Mingo, the Panthers took what they could get, and that turned out to be way more than expected. Mingo quickly became expendable thanks to the rapid ascension of rookie receiver Xavier Legette. Along with a larger-than-life personality, Legette has hauled in 26 catches for 244 yards and four touchdowns. Three of those touchdowns have come in the last four games, with Legette becoming more and more of a focal point in Carolina's offense. For a team that needs to capitalize as much as possible on draft assets, moving up three rounds in the draft to move on from a disappointing draft pick feels like an absolute win. https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-trade-deadline-2024-grading-every-move/

      Keeping Johnson and losing him in the offseason and not getting anything in return is worse. At least we got a pick out of this. Even if we pick a long snapper in the 5th it contributes more to this team. And who says we are going to use the Ravens pick, this is just more ammo for Dan to package into a deal and maybe move up. He has shown that he's not afraid to wheel and deal in the draft.

      He played at Alabama under one of the winningest coaches of the modern era. They beat the brakes off small schools because they're Alabama and Bryce could pretty much do whatever the hell he wanted behind that OL against that level of competition. But those games against Georgia and LSU stand out. That's how Bryce has looked in the NFL. Simply overmatched. That's why when you trade up to #1 for a QB you take the guy with the phsyical traits and the best arm. You play games and gamble on a point guard or the next Steph Curry and this is what you get.
