Mid combine draft targets

[Hardline]

I don't see any Taco Charlton on my list. Zay Flowers and Gibbs is are explosive playmakers. JSN is outstanding. Mayer is unstopable in the red zone.

My apologies.

I don't think Jimmy was that weak to be mad about that

Jimmy had zero tolerance for decent. He tolerated partying and tolerated Haley goofing on other players but zero tolerance for anything that even slightly resembled decent.

Lol whatever, there was not one person on here that liked that pick when they picked. This place went psycho

There were many that applauded that pick. Me being one of them.

I loved that pick. I advocated for it weeks before the draft.

Most fans didn't like it after he ran really slow at the combine. I think Kiper dropped him from 1st to 4th after the combine.

It's a near-guarantee that they'll acquire a significant veteran WR. Jerry is itching to "make a move" and the Jones boys have always been willing to pay up for WRs.

To me they need to acquire a veteran and draft an outstanding receiver like JSN or Flowers.

 

[rambo2]

I would target receiver with the first pick and corner with the 2nd pick.

With the first pick in which they could possibly trade back a little targets would be:
Zay Flowers
Jahmyr Gibbs
Jaxon Smith-Njigba
Michael Mayer

That would give them a playmaker on offense. I think that they should be able to get one of those guys. I'm leaning on Flowers.

2nd round target would be a corner.:
Julius Brents
Emmanuel Forbes

3rd round target
Daiyan Henley linebacker Washington State
Israel Abanikanda rb Pittsburg
Kendre Miller rb TCU
Tank Bigsby rb Auburn

Hopefully get the linebacker and add one of the running backs in the 4th.

I'll add Washingon to my 1st round targets.
That gives me 5 guys:
JSN
Flowers
Gibbs
Mayer
Washington

Can also add Mimms and Scott to the 2nd round if they should go corner in the 1st.

I dont know about many but there were some, I too liked the pick,

The biggest issue with that first round was them having Shariff graded so high, him falling to our spot when most did not think he would and us trading down.

Hell even when they showed the war room you could see that there were some scouts and coach was not too happy and stephen was standing and moving his hand up and down like he was explaining why they traded down away from floyd.

THAT was more of what pissed people off, me included. Sure there were people who did not like Frederick as they thought he should have been drafted later however they fail to remember that they was a big run on Olinemen prior to our pick and they were looking for Oline. So they traded down and took the best one left.

That was 2013. It is not a coincidence that McClay was promoted to the top talent evalation job in 2014.

Prior to McClay the scouts didn't have any rapport with the coaches and basically ignored them.

The downside is that Stephen Jones was deadset to remedy that issue and gave Rod Marinelli way to much input in the following years.

They seem to have a good balance now. McClay and Dan Quinn are best buds and McCarthy is balanced in his approach to working with the scouting dept.

Yeah, McClay and Quinn seem to be in lockstep on defensive prospects… which is very good.

Fans freaking out about Frederick was primarily about how slow he ran at the combine. The fans who were upset about it, always went back to his athletic testing and harped on how he could’ve been drafted “in the third round!”

Because nobody could say much negative about how that guy played football. He was a great center.

People shut up pretty quickly about that pick once they started playing football… just like they did last season when Smith started crushing guys.

So, you say the team should target WR with their first pick, and then you just offer two WR’s that will very likely be gone by pick 26?

So, your solution would be to do what… take another WR that is lower ranked? Someone who you don’t have as a target at 26?

Or are you saying that you no longer think the team should target only a WR at 26 and instead should take the BPA?

Speaking for myself, it is a bad idea to target a position in a certain round because you have no idea who will be there when you go on the clock. What if a very highly ranked edge rusher falls? Of course you draft him. Or if a guy falls like CeeDee did? You make the smart choice and take the BPA.

IMO there is a very good chance that any first round WR that the team might want at 26 will be gone. Cornerback and TE are very deep in this draft, and one of those guys very well might be BPA at 26. RB and OG/OC tend to fall further than they should, so either of those might be BPA as well.

I like how the team does it, personally. They see who is there, look at their board, and take the good player. That is why they’ve been drafting so well for a while now.

You simply can’t target positions in rounds.

I actually mocked him to us that year

In the 3rd round lol

Exactly nobody not even the guys at the draft had Frederick that high

Well at least someone they hope the fans will believe is significant.

Add Charlie Jones wr Purdue to my 3rd round list.

 

[Acceptablename]

If you take the talking heads seriously the Dallas Cowboys will sign a WR in FA. That should cover the need.

 

[Risen Star]

Incorrect.

 

[Risen Star]

I liked the Frederick pick but I wanted to trade down first. Same with Tyler Smith last year.

 

[Hardline]

I remember offensive linemen were flying off the draft board at a record pace. I think that's why they just took Frederick right there. And I think I remember someone associated with the Vikings were ready to select him when there pick was to come up soon after ours.

Lol……..every year you wr in the first guys make your case.

They for sure need to upgrade at receiver one way or another. They have got to do it. I suspect that they aren't going to be able to get JSN and they might not be able to get Flowers either. They could possibly trade for Hopkins and get bpa at 26 like Gibbs, or tight end, or corner, or a lineman or pass rusher. It will be interesting to see what they do.

They need a speed guy at #3 that’s about it.

Everything points to OBJ, Jerry keeps on talking about him.

OBJ wants 20 mil a season and due to injuries that's alot to ask for. .....I don't see him in Dallas because of his wants
