Dallas and Dillon deal could be dead?

First what seemed like a sure thing trade has now been cut off. I reported to you previously that through reliable sources I expected Dillon to be traded to Dallas on draft day 1. Well, Parcell's decided as of this morning to redo there entire draft strategy. Is this the result of the expected release of Larry Allen? You bet it is. Parcell's will now make filling line needs a priority in the four rounds. They need a OT and G and he plan to address these needs. He doesn't want to forfeit any draft picks that may effect his ability to obtain the players he covets. So who do they want?
Jacob Rogers or Kelly Butler at OT
Cris Snee or Sean Locklear at G
Parcell's believes both of these players have the ability to be instant starters.
So what happens to Dillon? Interestingly enough I spoke with Charlie Weis today who informed me that the Patriots are back in the hunt for Dillon.
On a side not Charlie said nothing has been decided regarding Ty Law.

Cleveland has placed and emphasis on talkign with the Chargers to trade up to #1. Northcutt is included in potential trade offers I called coach Schottenheimer today who elaborated that they are so far impressed with Cleveland's initial offer. No decision will be made unti the draft though according to coach.

How about, you give Al a call and ask him what we want to know?
QB Ben
RB Bell
WR D. Carter
etc,etc

I hope that this guy is wrong but if he is right then we will have to go with what we got or pick one in the later rds.

If no Dillion i bet we get Clarett. Would rather have Dillion no doubt though

[PennRaider]

i still think that we are the most elidgable to get Dillon, he wants to come to Oakland, we have the office to make a deal to get him, and the Bengals will be willing to take a higher pick now that they got some picks from Denver

We shouldn't push it for Dillon...
Al is doing the right thing by holding out...Even Prisco thinks that the Bengals will shift Dillon by the first Draft day -whether it's for a 2nd or 6th round pick! Dillon does come with risks and negative aspects, so I believe that holding out with our 4th rounder is the right thing to do...
Let the Pats, Cowboys etc. fight it out and then move in with a fresh offer and take em all by surprise-SAPP STYLE!

Nobody else wants Dillon, so we can name the price. We don't have to give what the bungals want.

My guess, come draft time Dillon will be a raider in exchange for a 5th or 6th. Cinci will wise up and realize that something for Dillon is better than nothing
