Wonder if a 3-4 team will sign him and try to beef him up.
IIRC some draft reports thought he could play either the 3-4/4-3
It’s totally up to Taco
He has the talent to play in this league
He had same issues in college
He either gets his attitude in check or his future is at McDonalds
You can test speed, smarts, agility. You can’t test heart and desire and that’s where taco fails
I've seen it reported that the Cowboys were talking with the Texans about a possible trade but couldn't get anything. I'd guess they would claim him.
I agree to a point on your last statement. I think a team needs to be able to do a really good job of knowing heart and desire before picking someone #1. That typically comes from getting information from his college coaches and staff, and possibly players. When people on this board are calling him a bust day 1 of the draft, you'd figure the Cowboys would have had a better read, but didn't.
YepYeah but you can do your homework better and find out about that "heart and desire". The organization failed in that area.
In fact, Marinelli actually to,d them that he could get Taco going. Is there a bigger red flag than that? You actually have to say that you think you can motivate a player? That's when you run away, not when you draft him.
That's twice as damning. They KNEW there were potential issues, and they went ahead and did it ANYWAY.
It’s hard to measure heart and desire but with Taco there were signs that he lacked both and they were ignoredI agree to a point on your last statement.

Yep
The signs were there with taco
He will play well for a while, then implode.What if he start plying very very well with his next team will we start a Taco Rue?
