2. I should have known better than to put up a Cowboys poll.  They had a great draft, rated A or B by most pundits, yet our Packer-heavy readership insists on clicking “F.” Typical.

3. I gave them a C. I would have much rather they had taken Rashard Mendenhall, who was still available, than Felix Jones. And what’s the deal with taking a second running back in the fourth round?

   And an Aggie?

   Just kidding. Glad to have Bennett, although TE’s not really a need right now.

4. Jones was the better pick.  His impact is immediate as a receiving back and as a possible return man.  Plus, there’s that speed outside and an ability inside.

   One thing’s for sure.  This wasn’t a Parcells draft.

5. .1 second faster in the 40 and 30 pounds lighter? And Pacman Jones, if reinstated (admittedly a big if) is one of the best return men in the league. I’d still rather have Mendenhall. You’re right about the Parcells draft, though, which is fine by me.
