Loved that TD pass to tie the game st 38 when moving to his left . That is not an easy throw to make
I thought he played well, was under a lot of pressure but he's obviously a competitor.
Either way, Roquan Smith is the guy I want.
I'm sure out evaluators will decide he's too small or some other such nonsense. Either that or he'll go at 18, because we just had to have that victory over the Eagles.
That was a beauty but also the only "NFL quality" throw he made all game.Loved that TD pass to tie the game st 38 when moving to his left . That is not an easy throw to make
Smith was terrible in the first half but all-world in the second.I thought he played well, was under a lot of pressure but he's obviously a competitor.

His size at the combine will likely determine how high he goes. We know he will run plenty fast.
DAL issue is he may can only play Will here and well that's Sean Lee.
I'm not moving Less back to Mike where he'd get even more beaten up so I'm not crying if Roquan goes elsewhere.
There will be lots of good players at 19 that can help us.
Anyone who watched the games this year saw this defense with Lee versus without Lee.Lee will be 32 to start the season, I think it's okay.
Don’t ever underrate a great moral victory over the Eagles. It’s all part of the process.I thought he played well, was under a lot of pressure but he's obviously a competitor.

I'm doing everything I can to keep Lee on the field because he tells the other 10 defenders what play is coming.
I don't have season ending stats but at one point we averaged allowing 35 PPG without Lee and 18 PPG with.
Amateur media scouts who are mostly clueless have sold people on Roquan Smith but it's very early in the process and Anthony Hitchens is probably a better player.
What does Hitchens cost? That's question 1 and will be answered before the draft.
Jaylon Smith had to play his way back into any semblance of a football player and at times looked flat awful but holds promise for the future and flashed in limited snaps a physical presence we lack otherwise.
He needs Lee to tell him where to go though.
Hitchens can play all 3 LB spots and is a really good player.
Losing him and Lee was just awful.
Damien Wilson wasn't ready for that load and Jaylon was definitely not ready to play every snap.
Durant has been in semi-retirement for 2 years and is not the same guy who was here before.
Smith had some great plays in the 2nd half no doubt, 1st half he was pretty much dominated by the OU offensive linemen. I said it earlier that I would prefer someone with more size, is ther no one else out ther comparable? Will be interesting seeing Smith vs Alabama Monday night.I'm not even sure what you're arguing against, I don't disagree with you.
Are you arguing against drafting a LB early? Even if Lee, Jaylon and Hitch all come back, that shouldn't keep us from adding a talented LB early. The fact that our defense goes to crap when Lee is hurt/out seems like a strange reason to avoid drafting a potential replacement.
I'm not trying to convince you to like Roquan Smith, I'm saying I like him.

Would love Mahomes but that ain't happening, Smith will be the one to leave...unless he wins a SB or something.Baker Mayfield is a good QB. IMO, he has about half the talent of Johnny Manziel and about a quarter of Patrick Mahomes. If Dallas wants a QB in the first round, see if their first and something else might get Mahomes from KC.
