With the Giants win over Green Bay, the Cowboys second 1st round pick moves up to pick #28.  Remember that there are only 31 picks in the first round this year, due to New England getting caught cheating.

The draft format changes this year. Day 1 will only be rounds 1 and 2.  Day 2 will be rounds 3 through 7.

Assuming no trades before the draft, the first day picks will be:

WHAT WOULD BE THE CAP IMPACT OF CUTTING ROY

Early this week I read a post that stated cutting Roy would only be a 3 or 4 million CAP hit to cut him.  Based on the 11.1 million signing bonus he received as part of his 2006 contract extension, my initial thought was that this sounded too low.  So I asked Mr. Google for some details on Roy’s contract.  A hit on Rotoworld listed the 11.1 mil signing bonus and salaries for 2006 through 2010 due to his 2006 contract extension.

Based on these numbers, I made a post stating the following conclusion: If the Cowboys cut Roy after June 1st 2008 the Cowboys would get a NET INCREASE in their 2008 CAP, and a net Zero effect on the 2009 CAP.

Seeing several web sits listing Cleveland at a later pick then 20 got me to looking at the rules again (see below).

Then checked last years draft order.  The same thing happened last year.

Denver finished 9-7 but didn't make the playoffs.  New York did make the playoffs at 8-8.  Since the Giants didn't advance to the Superbowl, they went to the draft spot (20) behind the other 8-8 clubs.  Denver went to the top of the 9-7 clubs (21).  The remaining 9-7 clubs were slotted in draft order based on when they exited the playoffs. Dallas and KC drafted ahead of Seattle because they exited the playoffs the first round. Seattle drafted last of the 9-7 clubs because they advance to the divisional rounds (even though they had a much lower Strength of Schedule then the other 9-7 teams).

In early April, Fred Jones of thehuddlereport.com performed an analysis of the 7 drafts from 2000 – 2006 for all 32 NFL teams.

The Cowboys didn’t fair well.  

The Cowboys have 20 players drafted during that time period still on the roster (37.0%; ranks 20th of the 32 teams).  There are an additional 11 players with other teams (20.4%; ranks 30th of the 32 teams).  There are 23 players drafted that are no longer in the NFL (42.6%; tied for WORST in the NFL).

Don Banks of SI.com is reporting that the Combine Medical Evaluation of Adrian Peterson revealed that he re-broke his collarbone in the Fiesta Bowl.

He will need Post-Draft surgery to repair the break as the bone had not healed between the Fiesta Bowl and the combine.

All NFL teams have been aware of this since the Combine.
