Drafted by Cowboys Cowboys select Josh Ball Marshall OT at 138

[CyberB0b]

I heard he really likes to slap around the opposing defense.

Why do we assume that someone can't turn their life around after three years? If he's had issues since then, then I'm with you.

One incident you can maybe give benefit of the doubt, 4 is excessive.

 

[9darter]

Favorite pick so far. Easily.

 

[buddieluver]

I obviously liked some picks Thursday and Friday better than others, but I'm going on record as saying I don't like this one at all.

Even if he was a nice guy, which seems in serious doubt, he's not a 4th round prospect by any measure I've found so far.

Dane says he has top 100 talent.

 

[Crown Royal]

I'm not a huge fan of the pick, but everyone who is hating the pick for the DV charge, I hope has a 1-1 similar post history that we should cut Zeke. Because lots of similarities in his own DV history.

 

[tyke1doe]

I know we said we want players with attitude, but wow!

We have draft talent with character issues.

 

[Jake]

Didn't see any convictions.

Not one to presume the worst.

No need to presume anything. There was a court hearing, attended by both parties, and the judge declared a four-year order of protection for the victim.

In other words, evidence was sufficient for the court to believe she needed protection.

Not excusing his behavior. Just saying that it happened years ago, and we don't know if anything has happened since. We do know that Florida State was going to reinstate him, but he decided to move on.

No one should question Zeke was a bad guy off the field coming out of college. He seems to have lowered his profile since the suspension.

 

[gimmesix]

Back in 2017. Nothing ever reported afterwards. Guy was 18 back than but yeah he probably didnt change and is a thug.

Hopefully, he got a lot of help to address his issues. If he's straightened out, he has the talent to succeed.

 

[Carter]

There was nothing after 2017 so he obviously matured

 

[kumizi]

I’m just going to forget the third round. Otherwise they got a ton of high upside guys with potential question marks.

Find where a judge ruled in favor of a four-year protection order against Zeke for a victim of DV. I'll wait.

Judge orders four year protection order against Ball

Um. Close, but not exactly.

The judge didn't make a decision.

A joint resolution means that the attorneys came to agreement, and the judge said okay.

Maybe. I don't want to say for sure because a lot of times, domestic violence doesn't get reported. It did back then, but that doesn't mean he hasn't done anything since.

Considering it was in 2017, I'm hopeful that he got his head on straight.

 

[Fizziksman]

so we just have to make it so he lives by himself for like at least five years?

 

[sunalsorises]

Is the CC in Butler County CC community college or correctional center?

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

The injunction mentioned 11 incidents between the two, including three that included physical contact. Ball allegedly slapped her in the face after breaking her cell phone and in a separate incident pushed her into a closet after getting angry that he did not text her back quickly. He also threw her to the floor once after claiming she didn't spend enough time with him during his concussion recovery, causing her to cut her knee, per The Athletic.

 

[Kwyn]

Horrible pick for the 4th round. He is best suited as a 6th round pick, not a costly 4th.

True Free Safeties Jamar Johnson and Caden Sterns are still available, which we have a positional need at, yet these morons select a project O-Tackle valued in the 6th round at best...and take him in the 4th?

Something is seriously not right with this Cowboys Front Office. They have waaaay overdrafted most of their picks so far. Unbelievable.

He was rated as second-third round talent and graded down due to the 2017 allegations.

 

[phildadon86]

He’s a scrub. Let’s be real. We needed help at RT.

Typical ray of sunshine I see. Aren’t you the same guy who said our OL coach sucked because we had no pro bowlers? Lol
