Not all of us. Some of us admit we have no fricken clue about these players. How could we? Watching YouTube highlight videos? Please.We all are...

And if the Cowboys drafted Slater you'd be *****ing that they didn't take Parsons.

I never said that then or now. What I said 100 times was corner doesn't matter when your front 7 is trash. Theoretically the front 7 got better. I d be happy if Barmore was the next pick.So before the draft a lot of posters were saying don’t take a CB at 10 because there are plenty just as good available later. Now the sky is falling because we didn’t take one at 10. What gives.
First of all, carnál, I am from the Valley, and I said it since Training Camp of 2016 that Dak would become our starter that year. When both Romo and Moore went down with serious injuries in preseason, I said Dak would never relinquish the starting job back. I also said Dak would lead the Cowboys to an 11 game winning streak, and he did. I also said Dak would lead the Cowboys to a 13-3 record that 2016 season, and he did.A lot of you are acting like we just drafted the second coming of Bobby Carpenter. In the words of my friends from the Valley, tranquilo mi amigos. Did we get the CB we all wanted, no. I called it last night after Surtain went off the board the Boys would trade down. I figured with Minnesota or the Chargers and NOT a division opponent, but hey, not my decision. Maybe the eagles offer was better. Maybe the Vikings were only offering a 4th.
The point is, we all just need to sit back, relax and enjoy the ride. We can be critical of the pick AFTER Parsons sees the field and how he performs, because I promise NOT A SINGLE ONE OF YOU, said Dak was going to be our future franchise QB when he was drafted in 2016. Just goes to show how much we as fans don't know jack ****.
Armchair GM's
This I agree with 110%. We need to be more active in FA, absolutely. Try our best not to overpay for players but damn we haven't signed anyone of note in the last 5 or 6 years.No problem with Parsons, but I cannot get over the lack of quality players picked up in FA. Pathetic. Carlos Watkins? Brent Urban? Yikes.
Nambe guey, I'm a gringo from el valle, I live in VA now but graduated form Sharyland. I also said that when Dak took over, after the pre season he had, Romo probably wouldnt see the field again unless dak fell off, which he didn't. I meant when we drafted Dak, no one thought he'd be the franchise QB. After that Pre-season tho? Oh i had hopes for sure.First of all, carnál, I am from the Valley, and I said it since Training Camp of 2016 that Dak would become our starter that year.

So, if I want to critique the Parsons pick, I will because I know what I'm talking about. If you don't want to believe me, that's your right. All I've got to say is, "Sit back, relax and enjoy the ride." Time will tell, but I do hope Parsons works out since we need the help at LB.
By the way, you sound like one of my cousins. Are you from the Valley? If so, from which town? You sound like you might be related to me, especially since me and my primos say the exact same thing to each other when we don't agree on the Cowboys. lol

You are the only guy assuming he's a guard. He was the best tackle in the draft that competed against the best and took them to school. The tape shows what he is.
You really went out on a limb there.Excuse you, young man. I said neither Pitts or Surtain would fall to us and was doubted. And then that's exactly what happened.
Well, he wasn't the pick so lets move on.Slater was the right pick, just like when Zach Martin was when he fell to us.
Scouts, coaches and GM's don't watch YouTube videos. They watch film we don't have access to. The watch from a position of experience in what it takes to be a good football player. They talk to the players. They talk to the players coaches. They talk to lots of folks. We don't do any of that so we have no clue.How do you think scouts evaluate talent? Watch the tape, but Parsons in my is not a better player than Slater based on position. The team just paid Dak and he has an offensive line that was all banged up.
Hey, I liked the pick + 3rd. Picking up the best overall defender and a free third rounder. I'm excited, especially for day 2.A lot of you are acting like we just drafted the second coming of Bobby Carpenter. In the words of my friends from the Valley, tranquilo mi amigos.

I said Pitts and Sewell wouldn't go 4 and 5 and I was right, someone even made a betExcuse you, young man. I said neither Pitts or Surtain would fall to us and was doubted. And then that's exactly what happened.
I said nothing for you or anyone to disagree with. Not sure where you got that other than your rear end. I'm saying we don't know if these players are going to pan out. Time will tell. No need to crap on them because you don't know. None of us do. Give them a damn chance instead of whining.Funny how this label only comes up if someone disagrees with you. But if I said this was a great pick and it agreed with you, I am no longer an armchair GM...
Órale, carnál! I'm from both La Feria y Santa Rosa (Class of '89). Back in my day, Sharyland was in the same 3A district...a very tough rival. Sharyland has grown tremendously in the 30+ years since then.Nambe guey, I'm a gringo from el valle, I live in VA now but graduated form Sharyland.
