Also wondering if Smith is the answer at LG, can the Cowboys actually go out and sign J.C. Tretter after the draft to play center?

They traded back last year, and was still able to get their guy. Most, if not every, team waits to turn in their pick to see who's offering what.

If you are picking at 24– and your 16th rated player is there, and you have targeted him all along—- AND you “know” Tenn is hot to trade up to take him:

You don’t trade back and you don’t tell Tyler he “beat out 3 other guys” for you to draft him lol

I don’t believe JJ at all that he was 16th on their board. Not at all. If he was their guy— why were they fielding calls and looking to trade back?

They got caught with their pants down again and are now crafting a narrative to convince the world they got the guy they wanted and they are the most competent football minds on the planet.

JJ is so confident and competent he waves the printout of the board around at the presser lol (sarcasm)— but notice no one could actually read it— just had to take his word for it smh lol
You said what a lot of people are thinking. The drafting of this kid shows how bad this organization is being run. Stop with all the BULL**** and come clean. Rated 16 only shows how stupid you look. This is suppose to be a happy moment in this kids life and Jerry trying to fool everybody is bad.

If we would have traded back
The Titans would have grabbed him.

The meltdown would have been worse if we'd traded up to 14 to get Tyler Smith. Rumors say Dallas was looking to trade up to 14. And the FO themselves say they had Smith rated 16th on their board. Talk about dodging bullets, phew.
I knew we weren’t going to do it as soon as Jerry said it. That was his tactic to get the NFC East wheeling and dealing. Might have worked, the Eagles gave up some picks to move up but got beat by the Lions for that rec.

OK we took Smith with the 24th pick.

Guess what ?

The Cowboys had him rated higher than both Kenyon Green and Zion Johnson.

How Epic would the rueing have been if all 3 were available and we still took Smith?

I think we would have crashed the Cowboy's Zone server !!!
Oh the ruing that would have ensued lol

If this board was around in the glory days, it would have erupted when we drafted Larry Allen in the 2nd round.

I still think EL Cheapo should of free agent a tackle or guard and went defense with this pick.

Would it have been a surprise? Cowboys always think they are smarter.

Depends on whether you believe they really had Smith above Green and Johnson. Last year, they had Parsons rated above Horn and Surtain, didn't they? That's what he said.
