***Official Day TWO draft thread***

[BourbonBalz]

For years many on this board *****ed because we didn't draft OL. The last few years we hit home run after home run on OL drafted, we continue to build there, and you still *****. No winning I guess. We needed a swing tackle AND someone to groom to replace Free in 2-3 years. We solved both issues (hopefully).

Would have much rather had Xavier Cooper but there are worse things than picking up a Tackle who can play left or right.

Building OL depth is fine. Using a pick that could yield an immediate starter for an OL that you hope won't have to play at all? Puzzling.

Lol. You finally giving up on it? You fought the good fight, at least.

This pick makes not getting Peterson even more painful. People freaked at the idea of giving up a 3rd round pick for the best RB in the game....well you got what you wanted...you kept your precious draft pick.. What a way to spend it.

pluck somebody in. 3rd is too high for a swing tackle IMO.

pluck somebody in and get Romo killed!!......if that's how you feel, why bother drafting anyone, just pluck someone in off the street

Immediate starter where? Who?

 

[erod]

I don't think Hundley and Petty thought they were going after Grayson and Mannion.

 

[Sydla]

Plus the guy had 4th and 5th round grades.

 

[Szczepanik]

Loved Jones. Loved Gregory. This pick was a waste. Front office has overdone their love of OL.

Third round can still produce a starter immediately.

You just picked a guy that if things go according to plan wouldn't be considered a starter. Kind of dumb.

So 2 years from now when he is starting and we look back and say hey we snagged 3 good starters in the first 3 rounds... will you eat your crow?

 

[HellCrowe]

OL is weak this year. When that happens teams will reach a round earlier. I heard the same thing about Hitchens and Fred Beard. Let's just wait and see.

He's a backup likely won't play much. Do you must teams have a backup tackle worth a flip?

 

[Sydla]

Bennett or cooper could have possibly pushed for starter minutes at DT, for example.

Green has not shot to start.

Same thing was said about Frederick and Hitchens. Grades don't always mean anything.

 

[superonyx]

I would rather have seen Bryce Petty get drafted than a backup OT.
Who is Romo's backup?? Weeden still?

 

[Staubacher]

Gregory just called Super Bowl like Romo did. Illuminati folks done deal

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

Same thing was said about Frederick and Hitchens. Grades don't always mean anything.

And Romo too. lol.

 

[Bay10]

What was Dilfer saying about Romo and the Boys?

 

[BourbonBalz]

Bennett or cooper could have possibly pushed for starter minutes at DT, for example.

No they would not have started. In addition, Wehave DTs on the roster that haven't even played yet (or very little). DT is not a glaring need. A swing tackle is a HUGE need. You HAVE to have one.
