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

[Sydla]

Flagged. Not taken off board. Big difference.

I think Mel said 5 took him off the board.

 

[Teague31]

Mayock said he was the best zone coverage LB since Keuchly

 

[Carson]

Love the pick.

Big concerns are, One year production, Injuries

 

[Tangle_Foot]

Leighton "the vandalizer" esch

 

[Bluefin]

LVE has comparable athleticism to the rest of the top of the LB class.

LVE tested better than 97% of NFL 4-3 LBs.

His athleticism is super elite.

If Esh is smart, coachable and healthy, the fan base will come around.

I was hoping for a trade, up at first, and then down after Derwin James was picked, but it didn't happen.

 

[Direwolf63]

LB was a definite need.

I'm good with it.

 

[Carson]

Mayock said he was the best zone coverage LB since Keuchly

People don’t want to hear that!

Too obsessed with dealing our entire future for James

 

[CATCH17]

AWESOME PICK!

The guy I’ve wanted for awhile.

Would’ve rather had Derwin but we needed LVE.

We got a freak Linebacker.

 

[Wood]

this is not true.

bryan broaddus just said it.

 

[BrassCowboy]

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

Well this coaching staff can teach him how to break blocks, use his hands, better balance techniques and to not fall down easily, yeah then he may start early

 

[StarBoyz83]

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

Lol I sure hope so. A 7th rounder could start with our lb core.

 

[Miller]

Listen I would have loved to move up to James but we got a big athletic kid at LB who has a good head and we didn’t reach at WR. Still can get one!

On a side note Steve Smith loves DJ

 

[zrinkill]

this is not true.

Guy is a troll who is making crap up.

 

[Vinnie2u]

Don’t know enough about him to hate or love the pick. He fills a big need though.

 

[CATCH17]

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.

He can still put size on a 6’5 255 pound frame.

 

[DoctorChicken]

wasted first round pick. i couldnt be more frustated right now.

I’ll bump this thread five years from now my dude.

 

[Proof]

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

There’s concerns about his spine

 

[Idgit]

I think Mel said 5 took him off the board.

He might have. He’s bats. But it’s been reported elsewhere as a medical flag, which obviously makes a lot more sense.

 

[DoctorChicken]

Look at my post history. I said a long time ago my sources said LVE is the pick.

 

[reddyuta]

Well this coaching staff can teach him how to break blocks, use his hands, better balance techniques and to not fall down easily, yeah then he may start early

if he could have been better at getting off blocks then he would be a top 10 pick,you will have some warts this low in the first rd.
