I agree with you mostly, but completely disagree with the above. Cowboys never had a competent RB or a running game until Demarco showed up.Quote:
At the very least he always had competent RBs.
Point is, and I've said it before, you are wrong.jr15aggie said:TheCougarHunter said:

I'm a Tony supporter, but I've heard some good talk recently about his career and I can't say I disagree with any of it. Tony played long enough with enough quality teams that you can't really say he never had a team around him. Forget the Super Bowl, guy never even got to the NFC Championship.
He played with a HOF Tight End his entire career. He's constantly had Pro Bowl WRs to work with (granted, he made some of them look really good). For much of his career he had really good O-lines. At the very least he always had competent RBs.
Sure, he never had a dominating defense on the other side, but there were plenty of Pro Bowlers throughout the years and one no doubt about it 1st Ballot HOF DE. Some of those defenses were pretty good at times.
Point is, Romo never rallied the troops and got it done. Opportunities and team talent wasn't the problem, he had at least a few years in his long career when the team around him was good enough. Doesn't mean Tony was a loser, but he just wasn't able to get over the hump.
So, IMO, Tony will not get into the HOF and I don't think he deserves to either... but I still really loved watching him play! We were blessed to have him!

Eli is a HOFer soley because of his last name, he will get in 1st ballot.
I don't think he has HOF talent but that's the way it works.
Not sure Romo gets in.
Quote:
1) Buccaneers: Jameis Winston, QB, Florida State
Original pick: Winston.
Winston has stepped in and become a quality quarterback. No reason to change this pick.
2) Titans: Marcus Mariota, QB, Oregon
Original pick: Mariota.
Mariota has been much better, much quicker than I anticipated. The Titans would do the same thing all over again.
3) Jaguars: Danielle Hunter, DE, LSU
Original pick: Dante Fowler, OLB, Florida.
Hunter was drafted: Round 3, No. 88 overall by the Vikings.
Jaguars stay with a defensive end. Quite a jump up the board for Hunter, but 18.5 sacks over two years will do that.
4) Raiders: Amari Cooper, WR, Alabama
Original pick: Cooper.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
5) Redskins: Landon Collins, S, Alabama
Original pick: Brandon Scherff, G, Iowa.
Collins was drafted: Round 2, No. 33 overall by the Giants.
Big jump up the board from second round to fifth overall pick, but Collins has been the truth and Washington needed a safety.
6) Jets: Leonard Williams, DE, USC
Original pick: Williams.
Is it possible that the Jets luck into Williams again in this redraft? I guess so.
7) Bears: Marcus Peters, CB, Washington
Original pick: Kevin White, WR, West Virginia.
Peters was drafted: Round 1, No. 18 overall by the Chiefs.
Peters has become one of the top playmaking cornerbacks in the game and the Bears want a piece of it.
8) Falcons: Vic Beasley, OLB, Clemson
Original pick: Beasley.
Falcons have no reason to change a thing.
9) Giants: David Johnson, RB, Northern Iowa
Original pick: Ereck Flowers, OG, Miami.
Johnson was drafted: Round 3, No. 86 overall by the Cardinals.
Johnson has become one of the most complete runners in the game and would have been a great addition to complement Eli Manning.
10) Rams: Todd Gurley, RB, Georgia
Original pick: Gurley.
After a disappointing 2016, I'm not ready to give up on Gurley in this spot, as the Rams must find better blocking for him.
11) Vikings: Ronald Darby, CB, Florida State
Original pick: Trae Waynes, CB, Michigan State.
Darby was drafted: Round 2, No. 51 overall by the Bills.
We will stick with the cornerback spot, but swap out Waynes for Darby.
12) Browns: David Irving, DT, Iowa State
Original pick: Danny Shelton, DT, Washington.
Irving was drafted: Irving went undrafted.
Irving was dismissed from Iowa State and fell in the draft. In the re-draft, however, he's on the board and going early.
13) Saints: Brandon Scherff, OG, Iowa
Original pick: Andrus Peat, OT, Stanford.
Scherff was drafted: Round 1, No. 5 overall by the Redskins.
The Saints needed help at both guard and tackle so I'll let them figure out what to do with Scherff.
14) Dolphins: La'el Collins, OG, LSU
Original pick: DeVante Parker, WR, Louisville.
Collins was drafted: Collins went undrafted.
Collins fell out of the draft due to off-the-field concerns, but we'll slot him to guard-needy Dolphins in this do-over.
15) Chargers: Melvin Gordon, RB, Wisconsin
Original pick: Gordon.
The Chargers traded up for Gordon and they will do the same here.
16) Texans: Eric Kendricks, LB, UCLA
Original pick: Kevin Johnson, CB, Wake Forest.
Kendricks was drafted: Round 2, No. 45 overall by the Vikings.
Tackling machine with the ability to cover would have gone nicely next to Brian Cushing in 2015 draft.
17) 49ers: Malcom Brown, DT, Texas
Original pick: Arik Armstead, DT, Oregon.
Brown was drafted: Round 1, No. 32 overall by the Patriots.
The 49ers stick with their search to find a playmaking defensive lineman, but Brown is the choice this time.
18) Chiefs: Mitch Morse, C, Missouri
Original pick: Marcus Peters, CB, Washington.
Morse was drafted: Round 2, No. 49 overall by the Chiefs.
The Chiefs ended up taking Morse a round later so let's expedite the process.
19) Browns: Bud Dupree, OLB, Kentucky
Original pick: Cameron Erving, C, Florida State.
Dupree was drafted: Round 1, No. 22 overall by the Steelers.
Dupree was a freak of an athlete coming out and would be an immediate plug-and-play outside linebacker here.
20) Eagles: Tyler Lockett, WR, Kansas State
Original pick: Nelson Agholor, WR, USC.
Lockett was drafted: Round 3, No. 69 overall by the Seahawks.
A multi-faceted receiver who can be moved around, like Lockett, would have been a nice fit for Chip Kelly at the time.
21) Bengals: Andrus Peat, OT, Stanford
Original pick: Cedric Ogbuehi, OT, Texas A&M.
Peat was drafted: Round 1, No. 13 overall by the Saints.
The Bengals could use a tackle with better core strength than Ogbuehi.
22) Steelers: Kevin Johnson, CB, Wake Forest
Original pick: Bud Dupree, OLB, Kentucky.
Johnson was drafted: Round 1, No. 16 overall by the Texans.
The Steelers took two cornerbacks in this draft, so why not give them a talented cover man who is willing to tackle in Johnson?
23) Broncos: Shane Ray, DE, Missouri
Original pick: Ray.
Ray is still on the board for Denver to land.
24) Cardinals: Stefon Diggs, WR, Maryland
Original pick: D.J. Humphries, OT, Florida.
Diggs was drafted: Round 5, No. 146 overall by the Vikings.
Playmaking wide receivers like Diggs happen to find themselves targeted by Arizona.
25) Panthers: Donovan Smith, OT, Penn State
Original pick: Shaq Thompson, OLB, Washington.
Smith was drafted: Round 2, No. 34 overall by the Buccaneers.
Smith addresses a need at tackle and can help clear out space in the running game.
26) Ravens: Arik Armstead, DT, Oregon
Original pick: Breshad Perriman, WR, Central Florida.
Armstead was drafted: Round 1, No. 17 overall by the 49ers.
Armstead would have fit a need for the Ravens and added to their history of taking run stoppers.
27) Cowboys: Byron Jones, S, UConn
Original pick: Jones.
Cowboys would be pleased to find Jones here again.
28) Lions: Jay Ajayi, RB, Boise State
Original pick: Laken Tomlinson, OG, Duke.
Ajayi was drafted: Round 5, No. 149 overall by the Dolphins.
The Lions took Ameer Abdullah a round later so no reason to believe they wouldn't consider Ajayi in this spot.
29) Colts: D.J. Humphries, OT, Florida
Original pick: Phillip Dorsett, WR, Miami.
Humphries was drafted: Round 1, No. 24 overall by the Cardinals.
The Colts needed right tackle help and Humphries began his career at right tackle in Arizona. This pick makes sense.
30) Packers: Shaq Thompson, OLB, Washington
Original pick: Damarious Randall, S, Arizona State.
Thompson was drafted: Round 1, No. 25 overall by the Panthers.
Green Bay adds speed at linebacker with Thompson.
31) Saints: Benardrick McKinney, LB, Mississippi State
Original pick: Stephone Anthony, LB, Clemson.
McKinney was drafted: Round 2, No. 43 overall by the Texans.
The Saints stick with linebacker, but go with a more physical talent inside.
32) Patriots: Frank Clark, DE, Michigan
Original pick: Malcom Brown, DT, Texas.
Clark was drafted: Round 2, No. 63 overall by the Seahawks.
Looks like it! And Sean Lee next to Jaylon.Ag Natural said:
Is that Jalon behind Dak?
They definitely could... but like you already said, I assume somebody like NYJ will get him if the Browns don't take him at #1.752bro4 said:
Why couldn't CLE use their 2nd (#12) 1st for a QB? If they were worried about not getting a QB at 12, I would think their #12 pick + #33 pick + #65 pick could get them up to 7-10 to get Trubisky (assuming he isn't gone by #6/NYJ.
