Thanks for posting and sharing.
Not sure if this is a copy-pasted posted article from elsewhere or your own originality, but it's pretty much spot on with terrific player analysis and predicted evaluations from the drafting of McGovern;
-to the wide assumption that Williams would be moved to RT while Collins departed in soon FA.
-To the non- foreseen sudden retirement of Fredrick.
i still maintain that we don't see players picked within first 3 rounds as quality backups. As Jerry says during draft -related press conferences interviews, they are normally targeted and slated as immediate contributors.
Or as in the case of Chaz Green who was drafted in 3rd round, as a player being groomed as a soon heir apparent. (via Doug Free)
Unfortunately we know how that turned out. Thus prompting Collins permanent move to RT.
Best Player Available per draft board ? i don't buy into it.
Davin Cook was also on Cowboys board as BPA in 2017 draft class and seen as a 1st round worthiness, but did we really think Cook was gonna be drafted by us via BPA, when we already invested in a proven, productive high impact, best RB in NFL in Zeke ?
When we drafted McGovern, that was BPA, but it had to be somewhere planned where he was to start and have the biggest impact.
- either that was immediate competition vs C Williams at LG spot
- either that was gonna spell Williams moving to RT, with Collins departing (which was immediately dispelled
with LC re-signing)
- could drafting McGov's versatility to play center, actually have also been a insurance protection move with
the concern with Fredrick's medical condition ?
However what led to the decision to draft McGovern, i have to believe this team still believes in Williams, despite the
outcry of criticism from several fans insisting he is a bust, when he's actually played solid overall.
Williams has more plus than minus plays and when he does miscue it's always a mental lapse mistake vs him being out manned and physical by his defender.
