Players Cowboys show interest in 2022 draft

[reddyuta]

what worries me about Burks is that he didnt test as fast as he looked in the SEC,maybe he plays faster than others with pads on but his numbers are more like Dez.

highest RAS of any QB this year.

So close to what??


Thats the problem with a lot of fans. The draft is about stockpiling talent, not selecting who will give us immediate ROI. Thats how you end up with Zeke instead of Ramsey

I dont think that would be Burks though. I think London would be the only WR in this draft that would qualify as us stockpilng talent. I know you're a Burks guy. Given that I cant argue with your principled argument of stockpiling talent. I just see Burks as a 2nd round talent

Interesting..

A few mocks I've done have Carson Strong falling in the 3rd to us.

I drafted him.

Not sure if we use a pick that high, but I wouldn't be upset about it.

Was impressed with him when Nevada came to Boise and kicked BSU all over the field.......but then he went to the combine....and I thought he looked over whelmed.....One of the biggest ???? I have in the draft......not sure where he lands.

Charleston Rambo, Miami (FL)
Charleston Rambo is one of the more interesting prospects at the receiver position. After a huge season with the Oklahoma Sooners in 2019, his production dropped through the floor a year later. Rambo then transferred to Miami and had a terrific campaign in 2021 before going on to dominate Shrine Bowl practices.

Since the Combine, Rambo is all over draft boards, with some teams stamping him with fourth- or fifth-round grades. Others believe he’s a priority free agent.

Moving towards the draft, the Buffalo Bills and Dallas Cowboys have come to Miami to work out Rambo. The Raiders have also been doing a ton of work on him.

Green is definitely a better prospect than Johnson. Love Zion too but Green is the better player

Tidbit on the draft show today, according to Broaddus and his sources around the league, trading up this year is not going to be as cost prohibitive as in the past because of all the teams with multiple ones. Said if the Cowboys moved up likely targets were Cross, Neal and Sauce FWIW. We all thought it was weird Cross was one of the 30 right?

Interesting. Hard to believe we'd be anywhere in range for Sauce. Love the player but we have so many needs...

Same here.

I don't like using how players test as a gauge. But we have to be fair and take it into account. Some of the other areas of his game are a little weak, so he could theoretically have some problems at the NFL level.

On the same token, we kinda have to look at guys like Barno, and see their weaknesses on tape and take those into account weighed against their measurables.

+1 Johnson would be an upgrade to McGovern but I like Green.

Folks say that but Dez’s explosion metrics in the broad (11’-1” vs. 10’-2”) and vertical (38” vs. 33”) were much better than Burks.

I’ve been saying it for a while but Burks is carrying bad weight (saddle bags). The scuttlebutt was that he dropped weight (225 lbs at Combine) and that supposedly negatively affected his times. I think that’s bunk. It tells me his body naturally carries more weight so he’s likely to be a guy that will always be fighting his weight, or he’ll just lean into it be an H-back type guy.

He didn’t run anything close to a diverse route tree at Arkansas. I don’t believe he’s a guy that can step-in and log heavy snaps. You’ll have to design ways to get him the ball (bubble screens, sweeps, etc.). I just think he’d be a luxury pick for this team at #24.

There’s talent there but it feels like we’d be shoehorning it in here. IMHO

Bingo.

It would be a mistake to take Burks at 24. Frankly, as a prospect, his no more BPA than a Linderbaum or Zion Johnson or Green, all of which would likely help more than Burks, especially right from the start. Shoot, taking Dean at LB would make more sense than Burks at 24 IMO.

The other thing here is this notion that you just stockpile talent in the draft, throwing any need out the window. Well for one, when you sit out FA like we do, unfortunately you have to look at need more than you would hope. Two, taking BPA makes sense however, what kind of roster constructing plan are you using here if it turns out three of your last four PRIME picks in the NFL draft were used on WRs?

Cross makes sense. Neal does too but I doubt he is within range. Cross could go top 10, or he could fall just outside the top. Sauce makes sense now with Joseph. He could go high though. I wouldn't sleep on Davis either. He is another guy on their official visit list that wasnt expect to be there. Broaddus had said before they liked him even before the combine. He fits Quinns line as a big, lengthy athletic player that can play 1T and 4i
