Nice. If we got our CB and LB of the future we are coming out of this draft smelling like Rose's. If we got PS2 talent without trading picks then we are smashing this draft.

I get excited when I see a tweet like this from someone not named Jerry or Stephen.

I can deal with some knuckle headness, but knuckle heads that quit on their team make me nervous.

If they can focus him and get him to grow up he can be a steal @ 44, but there is risk there,
Quinn is the man for the job. He kept Earl in check

There's a big difference between off the field character issues and football character issues. This guy has football character problems. He had issues making it to practice at LSU, and was advised to leave. Think about how LSU is - if you can't stay there, that speaks volumes. And, once he gets to Kentucky, he mails it in late in the season, and his coaches advise him to opt out. Joseph is another guy who has extreme talent and self management issues. He can play.....when he wants to. This was not a good pick - front office fell asleep during this round, and let a lot of good players go off the board when a trade up could have been made. I would have preferred Ifeatu Melifonwu over Joseph if they went corner - at least you won't have to worry where his priorities lie.

The Cowboys treat the second round like the Statue of Liberty. Give me your tired, your injured, your character issues.....

I'm also a veteran so of course I understand the chain of command. Understanding that the people who outrank you are in charge and recognizing the possibility that they shouldn't be is called being objective.

I coach and lead young men, not sheep.
Lol!!! You coach who your boss tells you to coach!

Moehrig was there for the taking. Move up wouldn’t cost much.

Based on the fact that we only had one starting corner and we do have a starting safety in Kazee, I don't think Dallas was interested in trading up for Moehrig. They do need to get some competition for Kazee, though, and I hope they do at some point in the third. Maybe Elijah Molden, Jamar Johnson or Andre Cisco.

Seriously bro. Did you expect anything else. Haven’t been in here for a while. Hope you have been doing good.
Yeah, you too, haven’t seen you in awhile.

I really did expect him to go with safer picks. After 25 years of not winning a single divisional playoff game, I figured he would have moved on from these rehabilitation projects he likes to get to try and show how much smarter he is than all the other GM’s. Last year was pretty good overall so I thought he may have made the turn.

How people try to defend a pick of a guy that has well documented issues with work ethic and maturity is beyond me. Sure, he’s had some good games and may turn out to be really good but he’s also known for giving up big plays and is a mental liability.

Personally I don’t think the risk is worth the potential reward for a 2nd round pick. Especially since we had so many picks to try and trade with. Truly unbelievable, if I wasn’t a Cowboys fan I would be eagerly anticipating the hours until this blows up in his face.

Ifeatu is my pet cat. He’s a pure Quinn pick. Richard Sherman clone. I’m worried they think they don’t need CB now. However with that being said. If we can beef up the middle of the DL and with the parsons pick. CB becomes less of an issue because the QB will be under duress.

Many of the kids you coach need to be sheep, because they have never had a role model in their lives. You are their role model and whether you want it or not, they are your sheep! Lead them well. Teach them to have an opinion and don't force your beliefs on them
