News: Peter King on Dallas' first pick

John813 · Apr 14, 2020

Yes. Let's keep throwing day 1 picks at the offensive line. Its given us so much success so far.

We can be rushing champions in the regular season to once get bounced in the playoffs cause our defense gets exposed

Build from the trenches out.

We’ve invested premium in the trenches for 10 years. How’s that working out?

Win for a change.

I have been saying draft a center #1 since Beard left.

Yes trade back and pickup value but get the best center available.

Beard was a #1 pick himself.

He was no bargain basement pickup.

People who think the 3rd will be good enough are just dead wrong.

The centers will be long gone by then.

People get too caught up listening to the Mel Kipers of the world.

They are not building a football team. Just their financial bottom line.

Center folks..we already have the glamour players. We must have the best set of muscle up front possible. Looney and Connor ain't it.

People get caught up listening to the Mel Kiper’s of the world because the guy knows his shi_!

Everything changes with Garrett booted out the door!

If big Mike thinks it’s the thing to do?

I don’t believe in investing so many premium resources in OL. I think we have a premium LT,RT,RG any good coach should be able to work around that. If this team was smart they’d sign Leary and have a 3 way battle for starting center.

That is how we ended up with Greg Ellis instead of Randy Moss!

Thank Michael Irvin's off the field shenanigans for that.

Yeah sure. We also won more games w Looney at center than Fredbeard. I guess Looney is better.....

That is a ridiculous statement considering that Frederick has started for years and Looney has only filled in. Frederick has had several seasons with more wins and the OL didn’t give up 50+ sacks.

I totally understand that, especially since I was an All State Center in high school, BUT you don't need to use a 1st round pick to pick up a very good Center. Like Mickey Spagnola said, this team has too many holes to fill. Best to use our 1st round pick on a game changer type of player.

The chances of getting a for sure game changer at 17 is iffy at best.

They'd better start drafting Def or we're never going to play in the NFC championship game.

They have been drafting defense and the results don’t show it.

Of course it was ridiculous, lol. It was meant to be ridiculous

Exactly. Defensive players (especially in the back half of the first round) take a long *** time to develop

We spent a first rounder on Tyron, Martin, Frederick, Amari, Elliott and got immediate high level play day 1.

Taco didn't do jack, Claiborne was an average starter, and Byron/D-law took so long to develop that we really only got 1 high level year out of them on the cheap portion of there rookie deal.

An immediate day 1 impact player on defense at #17 is going to take some luck.

at the end of the day...regardless of what i think...i want whatever Big Mc wants.

If they select a center in the first round. I am going to vomit.

I'll do cartwheels in my driveway. Good centers are hard to come by.
I'll also do cartwheels for a few other positions, we have needs...

Batman1980 · Apr 15, 2020

My stance on our pick at 17 is either a top 10 player slid or trade deeper into the 1st and get another 2nd. Especially because I bet the best C in the draft will still be there in the late 1st or early 2nd.

17. DALLAS. “It’s too high for a center,” said one personnel wag, “but they love the Michigan center (Cesar Ruiz), and they could trade down a few spots and still be sure of getting him.” Interesting: a plug-and-play heir to Travis Frederick.

I wouldn't have a problem with this trade down and pick.

I don't know about Kiper.

Like all of the talking heads..

they just want their branding and bonus check.

I think in the beginning Kiper was authentic.

But now he has a staff doing all his research and scripts and he does little but do the tapings.

So not sure if you think he is correct or just what.

He is what you call a 'personality'. Not sure about expert.

A center at 17 in this draft would be monumentally stupid...……………..so yes, it would have to be an obvious trade down scenario to the 20s range.

Still dont like it, there is going to be a blue chip player at 17, like Chaisson, Delpit, Lamb, ect….

Only on the offensive side, and the Oline has been pretty much a lock for top 5. Can't predict Travis getting GBS and needing to retire.

But People thought Fredpwas over draft too and look how that turned out... lol

I agree with you. We need a premium position with this pick. Too many holes on this team to reach for a center.
