***Official Day THREE draft thread***

[StarBoyz83]

Again, who is Tyrone Crawford's backup?

Better yet who plays next to him lol!!

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

i honestly do NOT see what they do at DT on our current roster

We went 12-4 with the same guys last year. What's the problem ?

 

[ghst187]

i take it we aren't thinking Gregory will line up at DE right away...? or else we wouldn't have taken another DE here?

 

[tm1119]

Ryan Russell is a good pick. He was used out of position at Purdue. He'll be much better as 4-3 SDE for us. I had him as a late rate sleeper for a while

 

[davey999]

Looks like some combo of Chris Whaley and Terrell McClain.

Not good. I just don't see why Bennett is not the pick, instead of a guy, Russell who seems like a clone of Ben Gardner.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

Leon Lett looks very happy in the war room

 

[Dwight]

Can Ryan Russell play the Dt position?

 

[DTown214]

3 sacks this year, 1 last year... that's underwhelming

 

[Deep_South]

Maybe Randle will emerge and be the starter. I gotta admit he looked great last season with limited carries. Averaged 6.7 yards per carry. Maybe the Cowboys ditched their plan to draft a running back once it was announced a couple days ago that there were no charges for Randle. And I really loved what I saw from Ryan Williams in the preseason last year.

I'm just trying to be optimistic...

In 2012 for OSU, Randle had 274 carries in 13 games, so maybe he can handle the load as our starter. It's beginning to look like we're going to find out.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Not sure why. Randle was not very good two years ago, but successful in a backup role last year.

To me, Dallas acquiring McFadden showed the Cowboys weren't satisfied with the options they had, at least without throwing a veteran in the mix. I have to think now that the plan is to give McFadden the first shot at the position without it being promised to any of them.

McFadden may have been one of the worst starting HBs in the NFL over the last couple. Decent role player. But he isnt a lead back. Randle showed some real promise last last year, and I think is the only back on our roster capable of cracking 1,000 even with a dominant line

Man I just had a feeling we were going to go heavy defense ..... Specifically loading up in defensive ends.... Ala the giants some years back.

I like!

 

[ConstantReboot]

We went 12-4 with the same guys last year. What's the problem ?

Not really. Almost half of the defense is gone.

 

[unionjack8]

We went 12-4 with the same guys last year. What's the problem ?

so dont upgrade anywhere and we go 12-4 again, genius

 

[JohnsKey19]

Cowboys didn't seem too enthused to make that pick....probably waiting on a trade that never came

 

[dupree89]

Not true.



I will. After the draft. I'll find you multiple examples of trades involving a pick this year for one next year alone.

this isnt a 4th for a 3rd....but is this kinda what you guys are talking about?

Patriots

Traded 2009 third round pick (#89-Jared Cook) to Titans for 2010 second round pick (#47-Daryl Washington) on 2009-04-26

 

[jblaze2004]

his college production was terrible.

 

[davey999]

What are the chances the Seahawks take Bennett?

 

[Plankton]

Not good. I just don't see why Bennett is not the pick, instead of a guy, Russell who seems like a clone of Ben Gardner.

Russell is a different guy than Gardner. He actually has arms with some length to them.

 

[ThreeandOut]

Can Ryan Russell play the Dt position?

Well, Crawford started off as a DE. The Cowboys don't mind playing their SDE's as DT's.

 

[davey999]

Russell is a different guy than Gardner. He actually has arms with some length to them.

Who has terrible stats for a 4 year starter. Pathetic
