Drafted by Cowboys 1st Round Pick - MLB Leighton Vander Esch, Boise St. (19th pick)

[millennial_legend]

James was my first choice if he had fallen 2 spots, but LVE was a great pick and compares well to Lee & Kuechly. Hope he is our cornerstone MLB long term and pairs well with Jaylon to form one of the best LB corps in the NFL long-term.

Also, we now have three Boise State alumni in our front 7. Hopefully, a second elite player.

Welcome!

A tad let down. I had gotten into the latest rumors about Vea and got washed away by all that.
He'll be a great player at a big need.

Hopefully not bobby carpenter lol

Great pick..

 

[millennial_legend]

AWESOME PICK!

LVE has comparable athleticism to the rest of the top of the LB class, and he easily has the most awareness. Perhaps the best in coverage as well. What he needs to work on is strength and block shedding. Time to hit the weight room.

Good stuff.

Folks just need to shut up now and let the kids play.

Hard to complain. Would have loved a trade up for James, can't complain about a guy who will likely be our MLB for a long time.

His comparison was Keuchly. If they're right, I'm alright with that!

Happy with this

5 teams had him off their board due to injury concerns. I would have gone Moore WR or traded back.

He is going to great guys,he is going to start game 1.

That's odd...what does that say? Was it a career ending injury?

I like the pick.

He looks taller than they say he is(lanky). Looks pretty quick as well, unless these videos i'm watching are sped up a little.
