Im still not seeing it in this kid. Takes time or not, he just doesn't have IT. Kid gets pushed around badly all game long. The few plays he makes is when he is unblocked.

Thoughts?

I think he is coming along pretty well. Good rotational guy if nothing else.

Saying he is a good rotational guy is not indicative of a player that is "coming along pretty well". In essence you are saying that he is backup material. Which I agree with.

Now if he was a 5th rounder that would be fine. But for a first round pick that is pathetic.

Dude was over drafted. That’s been my thoughts from draft day,and hasn’t changed since. He isn’t impactful enough,and looks like a slightly above avg to good at times player. He’s not doing anything bad per se,he just isn’t doing what they drafted him to be...a guy who can double with Lawrence.

I haven’t really focused on him..which speaks for itself,but I’ll take a closer look if he’s getting pushed around badly all game.

It's too early to throw him out with the bath water. I think he was a reach in the first, but the Cowboys needed DL/pass rush and didn't have their targets available. Got much bigger problems than that as stated earlier.

Feels like a wasted first round pick to me at this point.

Last year we saw progress, not sure he took another step forward this off season.

They could of found some one later in the draft equally productive as he is.

Who was that great Lber that dropped that year? Did SF draft him?

It is...it was a stupid pick. I’m not spending the 21st overall on just a guy,just because that’s all they had on their board. Trade it for a better first the following year,or a 2nd and 3rd that year. Get tired of Dallas not being more proactive in their draft capital options. Gosh dang,they stockpile late round picks alllll the time,and use early ones on projects.

Yes, I'll have a supreme taco and a cheesy beefy burrito.
