Always coming but seems to never arrive in Dallas?

[texbumthelife]

Thought I went to ******* for a second when I saw the title...

 

[CF74]

How many picks did Ha Ha get last year?

 

[conner01]

I don't know about great, but Juan Thornhill was sitting there for the taking last draft.

Ahh...

Glad this draft lacked a head scratcher like that.

That was the opportunity right there that should have been seized

 

[CowboysDrew]

That was the opportunity right there that should have been seized

Yeah. Still hurts. So does Taco and Watt.

 

[Captain43Crash]

Where are the great safeties?

Eric Berry wants to come back!!!

Man if he is healthy, he has always been a play maker!

 

[4lifecowboy]

Woodson and Roy Williams were our last two great safeties, am I missing anyone?

If it wasn't for the rule changes, Williams was on a Ronnie Lott like trajectory as far as a career.

 

[armadillooutlaw]

Clinton-Dix is decent.

 

[Oneiros]

How many picks did Ha Ha get last year?

He had 2 INT's last year in Chicago.

 

[plasticman]

Hold up, has anyone paid attention to the UDFA ticker??? We can't say the Cowboys ignored the position of safety.

1. We have Luther Kirk, Illinois State

A new era has begun. Poems will be written. Songs shall be sung.

We have our next Cliff Harris/Michael Downs/Bill Bates.

.......or not.

 

[Oneiros]

If it wasn't for the rule changes, Williams was on a Ronnie Lott like trajectory as far as a career.

Yes, yes he was.

Before he was effectively neutered by the NFL with the rule changes he was an absolute monster.

 

[darthseinfeld]

McCarthy has already said they are moving a CB over.

He didnt say they are. He said they have some CB's that can play S. I doubt they move one over

I think we go CB heavy and S light this year. Canady is your bubble guy at CB right now, and I think he is better than out 4th S. 4 S's is a must. If one gets hurt, there are usually street FA's that can come in and play

 

[darthseinfeld]

Thats not what he said. I doubt they are really going to move any of them honestly. If Robinson is getting moved hes not starting over Woods. Chido damn sure isnt starting over Woods. When will yall realize that Woods is starting this year? The only safety with a chance to change that is Donovan Wilson. Not a rookie corner or Chido

IMO Woods, Haha and Wilson is all we really need at S. Wilson also looks like he could play spots. Your 4th S is an ST guy, and we have that covered on the back end of the CB roster with Robinson and Canady

 

[Zekeats]

Baller who shined, high ankle sprain cost his momentum then he was completely forgotten about by JG like always. This guy can play and should be starting at one of the safety spots.

 

[conner01]

Yeah. Still hurts. So does Taco and Watt.

Two painful mistakes
The draft is not an exact science
But there are a few traits that seem to give you a clear picture of whether a player is going to live up to his potential
They love the game, the competition
Heart and desire is hard to measure but laziness tends to stand out

 

[droopdog7]

The obsession with safety way over the top. One of the least impactful positions on the field.

 

[hambone63]

This doomsy thread, the LeeBlair thread proves the ranch isn't quite dead.

Savion Smith looks the part of a safety to me.

They say his issue is deep coverage so maybe an SS.

He seems very active around the ball and isnt afraid to lay a hit on someone.

Its difficult to trust him back there when you're trying to win though.

I'm still hoping the Jets/Adams situation gets worse this summer and they will settle for maybe a 1 and 4 for him.

 

[fivetwos]

for all we know...he's already there...Donovan Wilson.

I know he played sparingly last year. Anyone recall why he didnt play more, or why he slipped in the draft for that matter?

I recall.last year that the safety play wasnt great, people were moaning for Thompson to play, and when he finally did things got worse.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Was there a safety at 17, 51, or 82 that would have been a better pick than Lamb, Diggs, or Gallimore?

No, so the Cowboys can't be faulted for not taking one.

 

[Dre11]

I'm not going to miss the Rod M. specials.

The game really past him by.

lol..as if he didnt have a say on all our defensive players
