Just a reminder to all the people that like roasting picks- the draft is a major moment in the lives of these young men and their families. Seeing things like this makes me root for them even more.

Same. I saw this yesterday and he instantly became my favorite pick.

It helps to see how important this is to some of these guys. Dude's a 6th rounder but absolutely elated to be a part of the team.

Also if you listened to Matt Farniok's secret audio he basically screamed Jerry Jones' ear off in excitement. These late round picks have an added chip on thier shoulder and I love it.

People criticizing picks are not wishing players any ill will.

I know that, it's just that I can't help thinking some of these guys might see the negativity on the biggest night of their lives. I was down on the Nahshon Wright pick, for instance, and after I listened to him on the phone with Jerry Jones and Mike McCarthy I instantly became a fan.

I get what you're saying. You're absolutely right. Sometimes we as fans get into this like it's a sim. It's not. Real people are on the other side.

Dallas is moving him to safety evidently and I just don’t think he has the change of direction to pull it off.

If anything he looks more like a strong safety.

When I heard they were moving him to safety I just assumed it was strong safety.....so they want him at free safety?

Just got my favorite pick and one to really pull for, Kelvin Joseph. I just love the rotten ones.

Lifelong dream to quite a few of these youngsters and I hope Israel goes the way of that other famous 6th rounder and gets 7 rings.

I always root for our new players. For any with past issues, I pray they use this opportunity to walk the good path.
