Draft Day ***Pre Draft Thread***

[Avery]

I'm >99.9% that it goes:

1. JAX - Walker
2. DET - Hutchinson
3. HOU - Ekwonu

Draft will really start at #4. I think the first three picks are basically set in stone.

Twitter is saying Tyler Smith of Tulsa.

Not my cup of tea.....

Oh come on now! We got rid of one, league leading holder who was a project at OG only to replace him with another project, who has problems with holding penalties! What could go wrong!

Smith isn't a guy I want at 24. If I move down into the 30s, collect an extra 2nd or early 3rd? I am fine with it.

This is just like the Trysten Hill pick. We knew it days prior, the day off, the hour of etc. It's a terrible pick and there is nothing you can do but pray somebody jumps Dallas and takes him.

Cowboys trade up from 24. switch 1's lose a 5th and next year's 3rd.

How far to they move up on such a trade ?

 

[nobody]

How are the Eagles and Giants set as far as O-line go? They both have two first round picks before Dallas gets theirs. Dallas really needs to make fixing the O-line priority one.

 

[john van brocklin]

I would like for us to get Jourdan Davis, Zion Johnson, Kenyon Green, or Linderbaum of Iowa today.

Olineman ! great minds think alike !

 

[john van brocklin]

Honestly, I have absolutely NO CLUE who I think the Cowboys are going to pick first. I guess I'll just have to be "surprised" by the pick!

Agreed! Jerry does not even know.
Too much can happen with the 23 picks before us.

Interesting.. Most draft "experts" and sites have him going late 1st or early 2nd now.

He's a penalty machine who's still learning the position. Not my cup of tea either.

I dont think thats enough to move up unless your moving 2 spots

 

[john van brocklin]

With the Cowboys this is generally true, however one thing they have been fairly good at is the draft.
Exhibit A : Parsons and an extra 3rd to boot!

 

[garyv]

Yep. It's sounding more and more like Green will be the pick.

Hmmm with a Knee issue ? We need a walk-in starter not someone needing surgery

 

[john van brocklin]

I'll cry if we select a WR today.

You cry when the Cowboys let you down ?
You must use a lot of kleenex....

Isn't it hard to find an O-lineman without any kind of issue whatsoever? Typically those are big boys and that's harder on their bodies including all of the contact through the years.

How bad is that knee issue? If it's an easy clean up for a round one talent who will be solid at the position for a decade? Sure. If it's risky, no.

I'd rather they draft Zion Johnson but it's starting to sound like he may not last until #24 now.

Tyler Smith is the kind of player who if he goes to play with an OL coach like Bill Callahan and he becomes a ten year stud in this league. Having him coached by Joe Philbin is a massive fail

 

[ShortRound]

Nice moment from last year

[CATCH17]

Or Jourdan Davis, who is a 1TDT. I doubt he will fall to us, but we should take him if he falls to us.

I can just see Aaron Rodgers no huddling us already.

This. It's how Alabama was able to win the SEC Championship

 

[Hardline]

Cross Zion Johnson off your list. Hes moving up.
