Yep...the resident draft gurus....they couldn't even tell you why they didn't like him because they never even heard of him lol.

well yeah, you go thru 12 mth build up to the draft with the last 4 mths being intense coverage and a guy is drafted #99 that most have never heard of or have to go to the UDFA projections to find and there is going to be concern.

maybe they got it right, if so I'll gladly give them their due.

I would’ve taken Melifonwu ahead of him but hoping I’m wrong and the reports of his progress continue.

yeah, think you could have gotten Nashon later. Meli would have given you some insurance in case you were wrong.

but maybe it all works out nicely.

This is from DC - look at that catch


FRISCO, Texas – The Cowboys wrapped up their final OTA practice on Thursday at The Star with a spirited workout that saw some of the new faces starting to find their groove as they fit in with the entire roster.

The Cowboys will head into next week's three-day minicamp, but here are some things that stood out from Thursday's OTA:

  • Quarterback Dak Prescott looked sharp in some modified 7-on-7 and team drills, working against no defensive line. He threaded a nice ball to CeeDee Lamb over the middle and connected with rookie Simi Fehoko twice downfield.
  • Catch of the day: Lamb's leaping grab over cornerback Anthony Brown from Prescott for about a 40-yard gain down the right sideline.
  • Strong practice from linebacker Leighton Vander Esch. He had a terrific diving interception on Prescott near the sideline. He said it briefly knocked the wind out of him, but he returned to drills and later blew up a Tony Pollard run play for a would-be tackle for loss.
  • Two more interceptions from the rookie draft class. Cornerback Nahshon Wright jumped a comeback route by rookie receiver Osirus Mitchell to pick off Garrett Gilbert. Linebacker Micah Parsons dropped in coverage and made a leaping interception against Ben DiNucci.
  • Safety Donovan Wilson missed the majority of practice although he did come out of the locker room/weight room area towards the end of practice. During most of the first-team reps, the Cowboys lined up Damontae Kazee and Jayron Kearse as the starting safeties.
  • Veteran linemen Tyron Smith, La'el Collins and Zack Martin also skipped the majority of individual drills. The trio came out together midway through practice and worked into drills during a team period but didn't participate in any physical blocking drills against the defense.
  • Second-year center Tyler Biadasz got most of the first-team reps with the first-team offense. Last week, we saw rookie Matt Farniok get a majority of the reps. Biadasz, who started four games last year, got a heavier workload on Thursday.
  • The Cowboys have several undrafted receivers that all have good size and stature, but one of the roster holdovers from last year made a few plays Thursday. First-year receiver Aaron Parker, who spent all of last year on the practice squad, found himself open a few times down the field and even made a nice catch in traffic over the middle.
Like hearing about guys who are still around on practice squad making themselves heard.loving LVE fighting back with plays.supremly hope he has revcovered and can play.

Well understand though that this team also goes through 12 month process of actual scouting players.......

I've calmed down on this but I think for some it was hard to grasp that guys aren't projected based on where these "mock draft experts" . They are projected to go where teams in the NFL have them on their board. All teams in the NFL aren't going to have guys ranked the same. Its why guys "fall". But in reality they don't "fall" they just simply go where they are suppose to go.

I’m the fan that gets hyped even though I know I shouldn’t...just to be let down.....I’m here every offseason and believing lol....

There's no problem with that whatsoever. I think it's one of the cool parts of being a fan. (If only people were like that with their marriages, lol). It's better than the fans that have to crap on anything hopeful to manage their own anxiety about being let down. Or the creative bunch that need to create CONSPIRACY! to employ denial so they can say they weren't really let down again because special dark forces in high places wouldn't allow it.

Oh I agree. I don't apologize for my fandom. Call it being a "stan" or "apologist" or whatever. To me it beats being a negative fan that just sits here miserable and ready for the team to lose. Some people have become so toxic that they don't even realize their enjoyment from this team comes from within.
