It's been an interesting draft so far...the Eli Manning thing was pretty crazy. He sure got a lot of boos. I kinda wish the Cowboys would have taken Steven Jackson, he was an absolute steal that far down in the first round. I will have to trust that Bill won't steer us wrong. I also hope that Kevin Jones is still there when we finally get to pick. ph34r.gif

Kevin Jones is gone at #30 to Detroit. This may be great next year with Buffalo's #1 pick, but we may have missed an opportunity for a good back. Maybe Parcells thought none of the backs were any better than what we already have.

Ouch...Jackson, Jones, and Perry are all gone. I hope they have something in mind. In just this offseason we've lost out on those three plus free agents like Corey Dillon and Duce Staley. Quincy is a decent QB, but we need an upgrade at RB to help him out. <_

I think Steven Jackson fell so far because teams were afraid his knee would give out in a couple of years.

I am fine with Julius Jones, I like him a lot better than Tatum Bell (who fumbles too easily). I was pulling for Greg Jones myself, but you gotta trust in Big Bill when it comes to running backs, he picked up Curtis Martin in the 3rd round. Julius Jones is a good reciever, is fast, and can return kicks, that may offer more (along with an extra pick and a #1 next year) than Kevin Jones.

I think that Jacob Rogers will end up being a steal.

I'm not really a Cowboy fan....

HOWEVER....I have to say I'd be happy with Julius Jones. He really impressed me this past season(even on a mediocre team). I think he'll fit very nicely in Dallas.

As mentioned, Jackson has a bum knee a la Terrel Davis....but probably not as good as him.

Wasn't a big fan of Kevin Jones...sort of an all or nothing.

Perry would have been ok in the 2nd, and Greg Jones has tore his knee up in the past.

I liked Cedric Cobbs, but see Greg Jones.

We will enjoy having a top 15 pick from the Bills next year too.

      AAC Trend - Year 2 of 5 Firings

      "Wilson's firing marks the sixth job to open in the AAC (along with those at Charlotte, Rice, Temple, East Carolina and FAU). Tulsa, Charlotte and FAU fired their coaches before the finish of their second seasons, a sign that the expected length of coaching tenures in the Group of 5 is shortening." Here is the ESPN article about the AAC and G5 trend... https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/42581760/sources-tulsa-firing-kevin-wilson-latest-blowout-loss

      Love me some Chico with the jet black Roy Orbison interim hair. For me Chico is like Creed. I'm not supposed to love them but I do. Coach Canales loved North Texas more than most alumni.

      Earth to GMG

      This world does not exist anymore. It used to, but not in the portal and NIL age of college football. If players cared about coaching staff stability they would not be transferring at the rate they are. If this thinking permeates our AD, then they need to look for a new line of work because that ship sailed. Seriously, how many 17-18 years olds sit down and review the contracts of the coaches to decide which offer to take? High school recruiting should be de-emphasized. It can't go away completely, but building a program through the high school ranks over multiple years no longer works. When recruiting high school players, I think the only "stability" play is academic stability. There are a lot of players that have the skill and ability to play D1 football, but won't make it to the next level. Hopefully they are smart enough to realize that. Sell them (and their parents!) on playing a sport they love and getting a solid education and degree while they do. That's why it's important to continue to improve the academic status of UNT. We're not going to be a Stanford, but improving 4-year graduation rates and tighter admission standards will help.

      AAC Trend - Year 2 of 5 Firings

      At this point in the football cycle, if you fire a coach then you throw away all the recruiting work being done for the following seasons. The portal opens up in just a few days, and most AAC schools build their next years roster in the transfer portal. How hard is it going to be for these programs to build rosters for next season if they dont have a head coach going into the transfer window?
