Why do we always draft so many projects?

Do you really think that he should be an OLB in the Cowboys scheme? 3-4 OLBs when compared to a 4-3 our just stand up DEs, inside LBs can be MLB and OLBs in a 4-3 who are strong in stopping the run and have coverage skills. That does not make a project, it's common sense stuff.

A PROJECT is a O lineman from Mount Union that has a lot of physical talent but nothing else. A REAL PROJECT is taking a QB and making him into a WR (which I hope WE NEVER try and do again)

This thread = fail.

Your pet cat didn't get drafted? I'm not getting this "project" thing.

Isn't 3-4 WILB similar to 4-3 WILL, anyway? Run sideline to sideline making tackles and drop into coverage?

Akeem Ayers is weak, he went late 2 and hes healthy

3rd - Bruce Carter - LB/UNC - 1st rounder w/o the injury. Bradie is 30 and will be a free agent. They take the super athlete to pair w/ the super student(Sean Lee)

3rd - Bruce Carter - LB - UNC - 6'2"/240/Possible 4.5 40 time - Coming off an injury if not he might have been a late 1st rounder. I love this guys athleticism and fluidness. Very natural IMO. Suped-up Jason Williams except I never thought he looked lost on the field. Blocked 8 kicks in his career

4th - Bruce Carter ILB- UNC - Freak athlete in the middle of a loaded UNC defense.....er when they actually played. ACL surgery drops his stock. We cam afford to wait a bit on him. Frankly, I think this is a huge steal. He looked like a top 20 pick to me.


1st round
1st round
Top 20


Turns out he is almost healthy already so they got a top 20 player at 40.
