Are we getting another Taco, Trysten or Mazi?

Mazi was never going to be the next Aaron Donald and no one ever claimed he would be.

Hell I would have settled for him being a poor man's Jason Ferguson and he isn't even that.

....We know how the past has treated us. Unfair and un-lucky regarding some high picks. Lets hope they pick some winners this time.

I mentioned Mazi. Because Parsons believed this guy was going to knock it out of the park. Two years in, and we're still waiting for that Aaron Donald to arrive.. ..

W/ Jerry's complete inability to evaluate players, to go along w/ his refusal to do so, you never know. It's all guesswork w/ Jerry.

It's from Sesame Street, I believe

..lol.... Couchcoach, use to give us proxy names. I still like to use them. Miss the guy.

What happened to him?

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Those weren't high picks. 12 is a high pick for Dallas.

This, was getting ready to say those were like late or mid 20’s picks.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

What happened to him?

He passed away.

 

[Verdict]

He passed away.

Sorry to hear that.

Given their track record you'd think they would hit on a stud defensive tackle by accident by now.

Yeah,
It's like the 1st rd d line scouting and 1st rd oline scouting are exact opposites.
Well, up until Guyton that is.
But the previous first rd 4 of Tyron, Zack, Fred and Tyler all met or exceeded their 1st rd pedigree expectation for olinemen.

Taco and Mazi are total busts as d linemen.
Unfortunately from the same school.

But I'm a huge fan of Graham(3T)and Grant(1T) from Michigan this year and man would that be a 1-2 combo to immediately change the whole defense and allow the team to actually be legit playoff contenders.
That's what I want out of this draft.
2 impact DTs.
And a RB.

Nah. 'Cause we ain't drafting a defensive lineman in the first round. Of course, if we were, we'd be taking him at the same spot we took Parsons, our best pass rusher since Ware.

Taco and Mazi. Ewww.

 

[JoeKing]

The busts this team has drafted are numerous. It's what this front office does. They will most certainly do what they do again.

Why would we get a Taco or a Trysten instead of a CeeDee or a Micah?

Maxi played better in year two. He was drafted at the end of the first round. He’s got another year before you can lump him in with Taco and even then, he’s better.

McClay fostered the Donald expectation, with his War Room speech (followed by the organization putting him on a diet).
Sometimes you need to accept, you got it wrong, but gain whichever positives you can. As a 330 people mover, rather than pressurizing, he should be schemed to facilitate space for the pass-rushers through double teaming.

Its one way to deal with our drafting failures: make the past responsible.

Another view is: we are not good at drafting players. In fact we are a bad draft team.

The acclaim we got after we drafted 3 OL under Garrett is long gone. Just look at our last 8 drafts an tell me how many first day starters we were able to draft.

We werent even able to draft starters where the position we drafted was occupied by a medicore backup (in Mazis case).

The only good draft pick in the first round we had is Parsons. And he has only great talent written over him. Not much to see on the field so far as he disappears after 7 to 8 games and is a no show in the playoffs.

Please dont mention Smith. He was supposed to be our next LT. He wasnt even good enough to replace an injury riddled Tyron. Now he is a way of overdrafted OG. The least important position on the OL. We spend draft resources on OL players like pay our QBs. Way overspending.
