Bryan Broaddus has a top 100 list this

[davidariust24]

The top 20 should be the same on 90% of the lists with some difference in where in the top 20. I like when the guys on DCC pick make their predictions for the draft. Broaduss is rarely right with his picks in each round. Heck sometimes he swings and misses completely.

He and Dane Brugler seem to do real good in my book when they describe players. The order that they rank I feel all scouts have their own feeling. I just appreciate their work

 

[Denim Chicken]

Rapp is too slow.

Are you just basing that on his 40 time?

 

[Rockport]

He really seems to have the same infliction Jerry does: he wants to be right more than other people so bad that he just takes wild swings knowing there is really no repercussions if he's wrong. Oh, and if he's passionate about a player, there is no swaying him. Saban could come out and say he saw Quenin Williams snorting coke off a hooker *** at half time and Broaddus would still say he should go #1.

Isn’t that what LT use to do? Just kidding!! Broaddus lost his job he was so bad. Still enjoy him as an analyst. He’s got good insight to the team.

Not sure why they would......Cooper will be more productive than whoever we would get at 28.

Ya know? While the general group think consensus should gravitate toward that point of view, , , Yet, , ,There are 32 strange new worlds of footballish franchises set to conquer their own frontiers, involving their own inner workings of "group think" in the plodding out of their quested intended destiny
( I.e. there ain't a living mind alive who could possibly foretell ,or, preconceive of the opening gambit maneuver of 32 different firmly entrenched field generals whose sole endeavor is to remain the last deployed force left standing at seasons end)


* and the contrary opinion to this aspect are,,,ha,,, those who mock stack the pre-draft boards,,,

I always love when Bryan Broaddus talks about players. His list excites me if we can get a guy like Taylor Rapp or Abram at 58 when they are in his top 40. The tightend from Ole Miss intrigues me since he doesnt have a lot of numbers but his abilities show up clearly. I really think if we nail this draft we are ready for not just an NFC title match but we are true SB contenders. We have drafted well the last 6 to 7 years so I expect a great draft. If you look at Broaddus list which players excite you that can be in our range?

There is a reason he is no longer a scout...and the Cowboys drafts stunk when he was part of the process.

I mean seriously...He did Dave Campo no favors...

I don't pay much attention to the mockers of any persuasion. Sheet, they mock draft multiple times and chances are one may be right. I read to Kill a Mocking Bird

Yeah, I like Brugler too. Had a great deal of respect for Mike Mayock and his ability to evaluate defensive talent too. To me, Broadus is a hack but that's just my opinion

wouldn't it of been easier to have just nodded off half way thru the movie instead of reading the book? I mean, you prolly still could lay claim to killing mocking birds ya know? Just saying, Bro

 

[northerncowboynation]

BB is a buffoon. He likes to tell you all about his time in the room. If he was any good he would still be a scout. Frankly, I think 80 pct of this board evaluates talent better than BB. His hit rate is remarkably low.

BB is a name dropper supremo isn't he. His offensive lineman evaluation... get's too high in stance and hand placement can be a problem. His defensive lineman evaluation... get's too high in the stance and hand placement can be a problem. Other than that, they're all studs. I remember when we brought in two scrub O-lineman as FA's, Bernardeau and Nate something (not newton), it was BB's first year as an ex scout. Man, Bernardeau was gonna change the line and Nate something was a right there in the changing. BB lost most of his credibility way back then. Not a wonder that he's an EX SCOUT

Meh, the book was better as per usual

 

[jterrell]

Don't buy the propaganda.

It is possible to like what you got with Cooper and not downgrade the talent we can't get in order to make everyone feel better about the trade.

I am sure if you asked both of the Joneses if they would be okay with getting their first back, they would take it.

Looking ahead at the draft was part of the decision to make the trade.
They mentioned it at the time and it IS considered a very soft first round.

Usually 14-19 "1st round grades". This year is far lower.

There is less than a 1% chance the player drafted in R1 will be better than Cooper.

 

[jterrell]

I'm not sure I trust BB on talent evaluation which is weird given his back ground but he's been really off on some of the highly discussed guys over the recent past. Not sure he views players the way the FO does currently or has since BP overhauled the staff.

BUT, this is interesting because he obviously is in the building in Frisco and media is right next to the scouts offices.

So I look at who he projects around the DAL selections.
58: DE Anthony Nelson DL Iowa. --Cowboys type guy to a tee. Big DE with frame to grow. 6'7" and 271. Taco with a better motor but less upside. Would shock me zero if they went here at 58. Generally see rounds 3-4 grades by draftniks.
57: Jahlani Tavaii LB Hawaii --A position of need guy and again would suprise me zero if the pick but feels more a guy at 90 than 58. Good film study guy but not overly athletic which DAL craves. Could see him later imho.
56: Damien Harris RB Bama. No need to dissect as everyone knows about him. Would get immediate snaps as a back up if his blocking and playbook mastery holds up.

90: D'Andre Walker LB GA. --Not sure I get this evaluation by most draftniks. Higher than I'd ever place him. Edge guy but very undersized. Rotational kid in college. Not a DAL fit imho.
89: Jalin Moore App ST RB. --Round 4-5 guy on most boards. Tough guy with pure speed. Not overly elusive and not a receiving threat.
88: Dru Samia OG OU --Def DAL type dude. Grinder with nasty streak. Wouldn't have a walk in spot but would be a welcome addition to OL.

LOL. When I watch a game I ususally barknat the OL for being too high and having bad hand placement AND bad feet. I must be a genius!

Agreed. The Cowboys managed to get a 24 year old player who was the #4 overall pick of his draft. A Biletnikoff award winner as college's best wide receiver, and a Pro Bowler in three of his four years as a pro. There's no receiver close to that caliber in this draft, much less one that would be available where the Cowboys first round pick would have been. The only downside is that the team now has to pay Cooper earlier than they would have had to pay a rookie.

But in terms of a proven talent? There's no doubt.

 

[Pantone282C]

Broaddus is a fine analyst but he’s proven time and time again that he is horrrible at talent evaluation.

That why he isn't a scout anymore?

In this case, don't look back. Even if ya did, how many draft picks actually pan out to be elite, much less good enough?

 

[ItzKelz]

Don't waste your time with this list.

 

[GMO415]

He sure sounds like he knows what he's talking about, but there's a reason why he's a former scout. He'll tell you he screwed over coach Campo.

 

[CouchCoach]

I will read his analysis of OL because that's where his "expertise" was as a scout, even though Parcells didn't think so, and DL because of the relationship of the two positions but after listening to him after he was fired, I understood why he was fired. If he really was good, he would have landed a job after Parcells in the NFL and not as a Kibitzer on Galloway's show. His analysis of players was much more miss than hit but I did enjoy his behind the scenes stuff about Valley Ranch, the only reason Galloway had him on.

I am surprised he ended up with anything related to the Cowboys because he was the one bringing out just how miserable Booger was with Parcells shoving him out of the spotlight.
