DT was the reason they lost to the Rams in the playoffs. If Trysten Hill can fix that problem, the Cowboys will have fixed their biggest weakness in the playoffs.

There wasn't a single reason for the loss to the Rams, but I think I would have taken the kid from Bama before a kid from UCF.

disappointed

had the safties sitting there

 

[Buzzbait]

I like taking a DT, I just hope he doesn't turn out to be a problem child, he had his issues at UCF. Maybe that's what JJ liked about him.

Funny listening to these guys tonight, after seeming so disappointed during their 7-round podcast that they had to take Hill at 58....

But I have to say, I feel a whole lot better about Hill knowing that the FO did have some incredibly good options at S, and they still chose Hill.

 

[Richmond Cowboy]

Irving 2.0 with half the talent.

So then he should be Irvin 0.5

This is a good pick. Guy can be a dominant Warren Sapp type player. Way more upside than the safeties. When will you guys realize this team doesn’t prioritize safeties?

 

[bayeslife]

Makes me wonder if this is a situation where they would rather risk the safeties dropping further down and secure the DT they really like

 

[reddyuta]

Wait, he started 1 game in college? I'm confused

no.he started in 2017.he fell out with the new coaching staff.

 

[Sydla]

He had better be worth it. People hated the LVE pick too, so lets give it some time to play out.

People hated the Charlton pick and are looking dead on here.

This guy has a similar resume to Charlton - questionable work ethic, lazy, takes plays off, could be a pain in the *** with coaches.

 

[Chuck 54]

Everything I’ve read is that his talent is off the charts.
Also, he doesn’t need motivation....he plays hard and has a great motor.
He had some character issues, immaturity, but no problems on the field.

He may have something to prove after issues with the new staff in college.

Let’s see if the scouts and guys paid to evaluate are correct before blasting the draft pick.

I agree with you,a 3T is way more valuable to them than a mere safety.

Lol those are highlights, he is a very good safety though

What makes you feel better about passing over some highly rated safety prospects to draft a player with attitude problems that only started one game last season?

Hmm so many S avail at #58hmmm

Wouldn’t matter who we picked, some “fans” will always scream and cry.

 

[Sydla]

And they wonder why they can’t generate turnovers? Because they continually undervalue S and playmakin ability back there.

 

[unionjack8]

Fast off the snap. Leon Lett...

So fast off the snap he did nothing in 3 years. 2 sacks a year.....

 

[Dylan88Wilson]

I really like Hill, just believe we could have got him a round later. I’m annoyed right now but if we still somehow get Thornhill or Rapp I won’t poopoo the pick.

 

[jblaze2004]

i guess when the rams almost put 300 yards rushing on us it left a bad taste in Rob mouth lol. Well we got a big body. i hope he turns into something special. Don't like the red flags on him though.
