3. Dallas Cowboys News
2007 NFL Draft
The Cowboys were real busy on the first Draft Day (Saturday) conducting 3 different trades. They first traded out of the 22nd pick in the first round with the Cleveland Browns. The Cowboys got a 2nd round pick this year and a 1st round pick in 2008. The Cowboys were seemingly out of the first round but before the 1st round was over, the Cowboys traded back up with the Philadelphia Eagles. The Cowboys used the 26th pick in the first round to select DE Anthony Spencer from Purdue. The Cowboys gave the Eagles their 2nd round pick (from Cleveland), a 3rd rounder and a 5th rounder.
The Cowboys were set for the 2nd pick (pick #53 in the 2nd round) when they again traded down with the Cleveland Browns. The Cowboys got a 3rd rounder, a 4th rounder and a 6th rounder. The Cowboys finally made their 2nd pick in the 2007 NFL draft by selecting OT James Marten from Boston College with the 67th overall pick (3rd round).
The Cowboys opened day 2 of the draft by selecting QB Isaiah Stanback from Washington with the 3rd pick in the 4th round. The Cowboys then choose OT Doug Free from Northern Illinois with the 122nd pick (4th round). The Cowboys picked a kicker with their next pick (6th round 178th overall), Nick Folk from Arizona. The Cowboys selected a Full back with the 212th overall pick, Deon Anderson from Connecticutt. The Cowboys finished the day with a position that I had slated for 1st or 2nd round, CB. The Cowboys choose CBs Cortney Brown from Cal Poly and Alan Ball from Illinois with their final 2 picks in the 7th round.

5. Web Site Additions (stats)
I am constantly adding cards, sets and players to my ever growing database. Here are the current stats from my database:
468 - players listed
6,550 - sets listed
27, 033 - cards listed
I recently added the 1960 Team Sheets to my database. There are 10 sheets in this set measuring 9x11 (inches). There are 4 players on each sheet (1 sheet has 5 players). A lot of the players in this set were not in my database so when I added this set, I had to add 10 new players to my database. These are players that do not appear in any sets that I already have listed.
See this sets checklist.
