I watched almost every game he played at Penn State. I am not a scout, but I absolutely believe he is going to be at least a quality starter in the NFL.
I don't understand how people get this stuff so wrong.McGovern has great feet. That was one of his selling points.
I’m not concerned with dominant I just want our 5 best linemen and this is McGoverns true rookie year. I don’t expect him to start at center or guard over guys who have been in the league. If starts over Williams we are screwed.That would be completely pathetic.
The perfect draft for me would be to take a CB#1 and a center with the 2nd pick getting one of the top 2 centers.
Have him step right in at Center and Williams and McGovern can battle it out at Guard. Looney can go where he belongs to the bench as an excellent backup at guard and center.
This the ONLY shot we have to return to a dominant Oline this year and going forward.
I’d like for him to beat him out I’m just not sure if it’s realistic.Probably right. Gotta hope otherwise though, since realistically the team cant contend until 2021, then McGovern is still essentially a rookie.
Also, not that Looney is awful, but McGovern needs to be able to beat him out.
Your comment is a scrub.Looney is a little better than a scrub.
But you just said in your own words that "Looney is a little better than a scrub", but now your saying that he is an excellent backup at guard and center.That would be completely pathetic.

Based on what? SeriouslyHe really doesn't. Looney is the fallback plan, not the lock.
McG has very high intelligence. Also a great leader.
I happened to have watched a tape on the kid yesterday before even seeing this thread. Great? More like average. Nothing really to get excited about. Even the guy that was breaking down the tape that was a McGovern fan was not overly impressed with his feet.McGovern has great feet. That was one of his selling points.
I thought he played at Penn State?I was re-reading his draft profile on NFL.com, http://www.nfl.com/draft/2011/profiles/connor-mcgovern?id=2555133, and this line stood out to me, " One of the strongest players in college football, McGovern has broken weight room records at Mizzou (like a 690-pound squat) and actually tore his pectoral muscle trying to bench 515 pounds.".
Didn't realize he injured his pectoral before joining the NFL at one point. Of course he injured it in MC and had some setbacks this past year. Was that injury also due to trying to bench some high number as well?
The Cowboys have a storied history of dominant offensive lines. They recently added to it by drafting Connor McGovern in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft. Will McGovern be the next in a long line of stars? Or will he just be overkill in an already crowded lineup? Matt Minich breaks down some of McGovern's college game tape to show Cowboy fans what they could expect this season.
Guy is basically a rookie being on IR the entire year. I’ll tempur my enthusiasm.We drafted our future center a year early.
Glad he has a year under his belt coming in.
First thing I thought too when I read this post.McGovern has great feet. That was one of his selling points.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, as you've probably watched him more than most on the board.I watched almost every game he played at Penn State. I am not a scout, but I absolutely believe he is going to be at least a quality starter in the NFL.

Wrong Connor McGovern. The one you referenced above was drafted by the Broncos in 2016 and is now a Jet.
I'm probably the most tempured enthusiastic person in this forum.Guy is basically a rookie being on IR the entire year. I’ll tempur my enthusiasm.
