Lol man you've liked this draft. I hope you know your stuff and aren't simply overdosing on Prozac.

I'm an optimist so I won't decide any of em suck at this point. This draft was about Quins vision for the defense. The picks had him written all over them. I hope the scouts were heavily involved and we were making decisions based on their opinions more than his though.

I know a lot of the players. I am glad we got the Wright. I think he's a bit of a reach, but, given that we have Quinn, I know why we got him, and I had done some reviewing of him predraft. I like the tools he has.

I agree Wright was a reach, but it's clear the Cowboys wanted him so I guess it doesn't matter if they took him at 99 or at 238. I'm sure there's still plenty of players left on their board they will still be able to get with their two 4th round picks tomorrow- if they land a big DT like Nixon or Shelvin I'll forget all about Wright pick.

Nixon would be a steal in the 4th!

People are putting way too much faith in Quinn as some sort of guru in talent evaluation.

Two potential starters.

The rest are just JAGs. OO might have some upside.

As a furry, I seriously hope OO's middle name starts with a W. I'd be SUPER happy if his initials are OWO. You know what? Screw it! I'm calling him OWO anyway!

Totally agree nyc, I think we totally wasted the 3rd round. I liked the 1st 2 rounds, but this 3rd round ........total waste. Like you said, they should've traded up with these extra 3rd rounders for somebody worthwhile.
I hate to be a downer, but I can't help being disappointed in the 3rd round.

You aint lying - how can you mess up having 3 third rounders...truly sad.

The Cowboys.com crew are really negative on the picks tonight, which is kind of surprising, since they work for the team or are at least indirectly paid by the team

I'm assuming that they believe the potential of Wright is higher. Melinfonwu has a higher floor but a lower ceiling. Think Quinn is trying to strike it rich. Trouble is, I don't think he had to try this early. In fact, I don't think we had to move this early on any of the players we got in the third round. We could have drafted differently with the first two picks of the round and probably still ended up with the three players we got (with our last third-rounder and the two fourth-rounders). But I could be wrong about that.

I wonder if the kinds of players they want to draft tomorrow are special teams guys and OT depth, and these types of guys aren't for the 3rd round. So they took their shots this round?

You know what? Osa's got a W in his name. Yup! I'm calling him OWO for the duration of his time here. As a furry, I can't help it!

Good, keep it coming brother. We need the optimism, from somebody that is informed.
