The Cowboys are really high on Drew Shelton

He won't likely be ready to start this year. Hopefully he gets a few snaps each week. Next year he could be ready to step in if needed. I have seen some question this pick but long term they will understand why the Cowboys wanted him. Good scouting report on him:

A fourth round pick isn’t typically expected to start. It happens but it’s not typical.

let him get some experience and reps backing up our current tackles and left year maybe he can push one of them out

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Okay.

I hope he does.

I won’t hold my breath.

I don't think he is as bad or some scouting reports have.

ESPN had him ranked right around where he went.

The positives is he was a team captain, multiple starts at every position except center. Played all season and allowed 1 sack. Some coaching and he could be a steal

I mean they drafted him so I would hope they would be high on him

 

[Whirlwin]

Starting or not, good depth player

In Dallas being a 4th round pick can get you 60 million

Shelton needs to add power, but from a technical standpoint he has all the left tackle traits teams look for.

I am far more confident Shelton will develop than I was in past tackle misses like Josh Ball and Matt Waletzko.

Well the good news is the scouts know how to pick Oline. The bad part is the scouts aren’t very good at defensive players…

You are almost as excited about him as you were about Viliami Fehoko









Almost

......and thats where you trade for or buy them(DTs).

Somebody in the building finally figured that out since the 1991 draft.

Good depth implies the player can start and not be a liability.

This is best case scenario.

I love this pic where we got him his physical attributes. He’s a massive human being. He’s a right tackle in my opinion.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

The Cowboys have done such an excellent job drafting/finding quality OL ..........

The best line in NFL history, the Cowboys in 1992, consisted of:

LT: undrafted free agent who played defense in college (Tuinei)

LT: undrafted free agent (Newton)

C: 3rd round pick (Stepnoski)

RG: 10th round pick (Gesek), 8th round pick (Gogan)

RG: 3rd round pick (Williams)

Looks some of our blindest homers got a hold Risens sign on. Sleeper Cowboys? That was some deep digging on that one.
But really now, shouldnt they feel really high on every pick? I just hope Shelton becomes a better version of Thomas.
