Cowboys Telegraphing its R1 Pick Again?

Sydla said:

Until proven otherwise, they aren't in the hunt. Having 9 picks in the draft means little. They have too many holes that they need quality players to think the draft will fix them all. Using your logic, they need to come out of this draft with:

1 - A great starting LG
2 - A quality WR to replace Cooper
3 - A real DE opposite of Lawrence
4 - A #2 TE in case Schultz goes down

That doesn't include the fact that if Ball doesn't work out, they have no swing OT. They also could use a center because Biadasz has some serious questions.

Thinking the draft solves all those problems is wishful thinking but it's the logic Jerry and Stephen have used for years now with little success.

Im going to sit here and wait for someone to post direct 2021 pre-draft quote from Jerry saying they will for sure take a specific player if he's there when were on the clock.

There are dozens of local and national media folks that tell us what they think Jerry will for do.
Thats not at all the same as for sure doing it.

We “think” we know they liked 3 1st round CBs last year at various levels…Surtain, Farley, Horn
2 were gone when drafted….though we don’t know if they were higher on our board than Parson or Slater
One CB was left, we ended up taking Parsons

Are all the guards in the draft going to be gone before pick number 24? No...Then who cares? Are there only two good guards in the draft? No...then why worry about it?



No team can hide their needs.

Go fetch it yourself.

If you actually pay attention to what was said by Jerry post draft you’d know exactly what he said. There are other folks on the thread that know exactly what I’m talking about. You’re talking out your arse in ignorance hoping folks won’t make the effort to find a quote from year ago.

Exactly. We will realistically be lucky to get ONE of these things from the draft.

You are the one getting all emotional.

Thats how it works….make a claim…prove it
Not that complicated

Btw, I never said Jerry did not say anything. I said all I saw were people here and the media making assumptions that he did.

They can easily get 1 or 2 tight ends in this draft that upgrade the position.

They’ve effectively put out a flashing neon light that says ‘Drafting a Guard’. So if anyone else wants them, all they need to do is to trade up ahead of pick #24.

Can, yes. But who knows what they'll actually do when the opportunity arises?

Flamma said:

Yep. That's what they'd do. Especially if an OT fell, you know a team would jump in front.

But maybe that's the plan all along. Maybe the Jones boys are geniuses. They only want teams to think they're going OL. What do you think about that?

Based on their track record, I give them no unearned credit for being clever. They’re not.

You said they again are again telegraphing their eventual pick, when they for sure did NOT have those results the last two years.

the fact they didn't bring in a single veteran free-agent at og says they must like connor mcgovern there...unless they find somebody better in the draft.
mcclay said about this draft class he sees alot of tackles that can play guard.
i dont think they are looking at pure guards but guys who can play multiple spots.
kenyon green play ot and og at a&m.
tyler smith and chris paul from tulsa are tackles that could slide inside to guard.
luke goedeke central michigan is another.
im fascinated to see how this plays out...not just at 24.
they ALWAYS fill their holes with f/a's prior to the draft.
the fact they didn't at og must mean they feel like they have already with connor mcgovern.
but that doesn't mean they won't address it.
it sounds like they are looking for a tackle who can play guard.
we'll know soon enough.
i think pick 24 is wide open.

Position flex should never be a criteria when you are drafting for a starter. Which is basically the first three rds.
If you want a guard pick a GUARD. If you want a tackle pick a TACKLE. The best prospect at those positions no matter if they can play another position at all.
Position flex is when you are looking at later rds and thinking about potential backups.

Jerry and Stephen have all but said they are drafting OL in the first unless a blue chip prospect falls to them lol.
