News: Cowboys expected to waive Taco Charlton, barring last-minute trade

[NeonNinja]

What a damn waste of a pick - the problem with all of this is half the board could see this coming the second we drafted the bum.

Exactly. Disastrous selection.

To support your false claims about "half the board" so you can try to feel better about this colossal screwup.

I didnt say I felt good about anything and "half the board" was in the original post so I replied in gist...without a real search engine here thats more time than I want to spend...are you saying more than half the board wanted these guys where they were picked, you included? Wheres your link?

 

[Carson]

Please don't let anyone in the division claim him. Trade him anywhere else for 2021 conditional 7th to keep this from happening.

This is going to be one of those baseball trades.

Opposing team gets : Taco, 6th round pick, we pay the remainder of his salary

Cowboys get : 7th round pick

I'm saying your claim is false. Back it up. Substantiate the false claim you're trying to make so you can feel better.

How is a 24 year old 4-3 defensive end with his pedigree and 3 years of control not tradeable? This front office is a joke if they don't find a trade partner.

Exactly. Disastrous selection.

What's worse is the few of us that hated the pick got picked apart for not liking the pick.

Now apparently everyone hated the pick, which wasnt the case at all at the time. Similiar to what we are seeing with Hill now.

 

[Kaiser]

And Gavin Escobar too!

Escobar was more a scheme issue than being a draft mistake. Even if you count him, Escobar and Chaz Green are the only other draft mistakes until Taco - and with those guys we got steals like Dak Prescott and Anthony Brown. You have to go back ten years to really find a bad draft.

I don't think so.

More like "The Dallas Cowboys have waived DE Taco Charlton."

Followed by "yeah? Well we're 2-0!"

 

[Shotgun Dave]

True, but half the board didnt see Frederick, Martin, Dak, Jaylon coming either...you cant knock them all out of the park.

Not picking a fight, but there is a world of difference in "not hitting them all out of the park" and having to waive a first round pick after two years because no one will even trade a conditional 7th for him.

This is a monumental whiff. Monumental.

And to think someone thought he made more sense than TJ Watt.

If this truly was a Marinelli call, well, that's an anchor around his neck (and now ours).

Truly a pathetic pick.

No one is picking up 3 million in salary for guy the team will likely cut anyway, plus its clearly an attitude issue that even other teams know more about than the fans do.

 

[Stash]

Yeah? What "scheme" is he fitting in now?

Even if you count him, Escobar and Chaz Green are the only other draft mistakes until Taco - and with those guys we got steals like Dak Prescott and Anthony Brown. You have to go back ten years to really find a bad draft.

Sorry, but that doesn't erase one of the biggest busts in team history that we're watching happen today.

I'm not saying you are an idiot, I'm saying this is an idiotic statement. Teams have seen the same thing we have, Taco isn't very good. So I doubt there was much demand for him. Most teams would rather take a chance after he is cut. If they get him good, if not no big deal. Either way they don't use a draft pick.

I never disagreed with the post...I said "true"

Taking a look at the defensive linemen they've shuffled in and out, signed, drafted, suspended, and cut, there are clearly more misses than hits.

To be fair half the board hates every pick the Cowboys make. If the general consensus of the board was our GM we'd be worse off by a country mile.

 

[Kaiser]

est we forget what that bastion of truth, Jerry Jones, said about Taco only yesterday. Oh what a difference a day makes in Jerry's World...

If Jerry said publicly they were about to cut him, posters here would call him an idiot for destroying his perceived trade value.

 

[kumizi]

End of an inactive era.

That was pretty funny

All the teams had to do is watch his professional tape and ignore his college tape. Blows that pedigree out of the water.

It doesn't, but Taco imploding doesn't erase the team's improvement and good drafting overall.

Someone needs a nap today... I dont see how you can say anything I said was nonsense... I was here and I think the majority would agree no one was jumping up and down with any of those picks mentioned...I stand by that. Done here...you can have the last word.
