A player who can play sitting and learning is not the same as a player who might never play in the NFL

That's what the media is spinning. However, our team surgeon performed the surgery. We have serious Intel on his true medical condition and future longterm prognosis. They clearly were confident that he'll recover.

I think noone hates the Smith pick. They simply believe that he could have been drafted later and they are right. If you were watching the War Room Cam you witnessed some funny stuff. Their guy got picked. They panicked and couldn't get the phones to work and then reached at pick 34. PIck 34 is a valuable commodity. They could have traded down several times accumulating picks and still drafted Smith.

I didn't like the Smith pick. But there's no way they panicked. There were only two picks in front of them, and they had all night to work through the possible permutations. This was a calculated pick.

Cowboys would have never considered drafting him if they thought there was any chance at all he wouldn't play again. Buying into a media narrative that is actually two weeks old (many considered his knee issue less than Jack before the draft) is just uninformed.

I don't love the Jaylon pick, they could've done better but it's done. He will play for us, I am confident in that.

I hope you are correct but the fact is that no doctor can predict if nerve function will return it not and to what degree. There is s real chance he will never play in the NFL. Certainly his getting back to his prior level of play is a huge stretch

Zack Sanchez, Christian Westerman, Jerell Adams, Jalen Mills or Rashard Higgins. Those are the guys I would like.

I guess you weren't watching. Stephen Jones was literally throwing phones.

Didn't the pick come in immediately after 33

Sure sounds like panic.....

If we're going QB, you'd think it's going to have to happen here since we're out of the game next round.

I'm shocked fans watching ESPN aren't calling for Dallas to take a flier on Mo, the receiver from Germany they highlighted...lol.

NE wanted him so no trading down would allow another team to take him. He was top 5 on the board and I have no problem taking him at 34
