The Painful Thing Is we could have had Chris Jones

[The Realist]

We took Jaylon Smith 2/34 and Chris Jones went 2/37 to the Chiefs.

Imagine a draft of

1) Ezekiel Elliot RB
2) Chris Jones DT
3) Malik Collins DT
4a) Anyone but Charles Tapper
4b) Dak Prescott

Zeke, Jones, Dak would have been an amazing draft. I guess Jones wasn’t the kind of disruptive, penetrating DT Marinelli was looking for.

 

[Cmac]

Who was taken AFTER LVE?

Who was taken AFTER LVE?

Rashaan Evans or Darius Leonard

They overdrafted Jaylon due to his injury, if we would of drafted Jones our interior DL would of been fixed, rather then us trying every season to do so.

 

[Nova]

He was, no lie, not on my radar at the time.

But I am a fan of taking SEC DT’s in the 2nd round every other year or so.

You can’t draft everyone. I would have drafted Ramsey over Zeke, then drafted Henry in the second round. The What ifs………. It still was an A draft because we got a franchise quarterback.

this. you can't rue every could have been. teams miss on many players. how many wished they had drafted dak (well according to this board maybe 10...) in the first 3 rounds.

No doubt, it was still an excellent draft and changed the franchise for the future.

 

[Ranched]

Easy to say now that we've seen them both play. It could have easily been the other way around. Drafting players is a crap shoot. Always has been.

 

[Redsfan_83]

yeah but I bet Chris Jones hasn't been cut by two teams and garnered no interest by any other team has he? That being said, you can go through every draft and say we should have, would have, didn't do....all teams can do this and come up with the same mistake draft picks

 

[Hawkeye0202]

I never like playing this game........you can literally find a better player after every draft of your top 1-3 rounds

Imagine if life were all fairytales' where we could go back and do the what if hindsight game..all teams would be 17-0..that not how it works..

get a life smh

may of these threads post game are just trash, clownville bs..

We have to assume the Cowboys do not value DT as much as other positions.

 

[Aven8]

Jones was way too big for Marinelli. Just look at Hill….he’s 275 soaking wet…..

 

[Big_D]

Jaylon Smith was a stupidazz pick at 34 overall. That’s not hindsight. It was just as moronic the second they announced the pick.

 

[G2]

Ok, lets play the "what if" game.

If we didn't draft Smith and he didn't end up sucking, they would have filled the LB with some others and maybe we don't draft Parsons.

 

[Darkhound]

this FO is pathetic...
