On the NFL draft (from a C'boy fan perspective, of course)
Okay, so in the NFL draft, the C'boys took running back Felix Jones from Ar-kansas and cornerback Mike Jenkins from Tampa Bay Community College South Florida in the first round, and tight end Martellus Bennett from Texas A&M. Oh, and the deal for Adam "Pacman" Jones is now official.
1st reaction: Why the hell didn't they get Mario Manningham from Michigan at 61? They need receivers more than they need a backup tight end!!! (Thank Cthulu he's still on the draft board, so there's still a chance.)
2nd reaction: The more I ponder the selection of Jones, the less excited I get. Looks like we're simply replacing one spare named Jones with another.
3rd reaction: C'boys have, in effect, traded Jacques "Toast" Reeves and Nate "Burnt Toast" Jones for Mike Jenkins and Pacman Jones. I can live with that trade. 
For now, they get a grade of C. Let's hope they do a little better in Day 2.

If Mario Willingham was still on the board at 61, and is still on the board for Day 2, there's a reason. Jerry Jones isn't the brightest GM out there, but, he's smart enough to notice "Hey! No one else is interested in this guy, either..." And, be aware that the Jones trade wasn't for an active player. Jones has NOT been reinstated yet, nor has Goodell been all that fired up to reinstate him, either. So, don't think that Jones is going to immediately improve your secondary. He might never play again.
