Siavii went to training camp with the Cowboys before his release on August 31, 2008. He spent the rest of the season out of football. Siavii was originally drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in the second round (36th overall) of the 2004 NFL Draft.

Junior Siavii signed by the Cowboys

Junior Siavii is from the Chiefs' 2004 draft. None of those guys are with the Chiefs now. Guess who we could have had instead of Siavii? Bob Sanders.

Bob Sanders with the Chiefs?

Maybe Herms “Cover 2” might’ve worked by now.

I’m new posting here and have been dieing to comment on this draft gem. Who is the most important player on the field?——the quarterback. Has Allen ever protected a QB?———-No. People have been crying in their beer about losing Allen——yeah, he’s more visible than Branden Albert, one of the guys we got for him, but Albert is at least as important——especially being 4 years younger and probably less trouble—and has probably helped the development of Thigpen. Lets forget about Allen and celebrate Branden Albert, Just one of the guys thats made the 2008 draft what it is, compliments of the 2004 draft.

And the best way to stop the most important player on the field

Is with a DE.

Not that I necessarily disagree with you, but there’s a premium on DEs right now. More and more teams are passing a lot more and the best way to stop or slow that down is rushing the passer. Last time I checked, LT was the 2nd highest paid position in the game but DE may have caught them with the elite ones getting $12 million/year.

oh, come on

Romey was coming off his first (and only) Pro Bowl. We didn’t need a safety! haha

To be fair, though, how many games has Sanders missed in his career? The guy is a one-man havoc creating machine, no doubt, but he’s also made of glass. Obviously Siavii sucks, but we weren’t really in the market for a safety between Woods and G-Wes. The rest of that 2nd round is pretty mediocre, although I would have loved us taking Darnell Dockett (first pick of round 3).

Stopping a QB

A good DE can injure a QB. Lets say you have Joe Montana at QB. He gets injured by the other teams DE because you have a poor left tackle. But you have a great DE too and he also injures the other teams QB as well. Now, the other teams QB you may not see again for quite some time—-no more than once more in same year. But Montanas out for the year. So protecting your own QB is more important. But hey—-we can still get a DE in the 2009 draft. Anyway, Allen is Chiefs history.
