You don't draft for need. You sign free agents for need. The draft should be for acquiring the best talent you can regardless of position.

That's what they did with Safeties last year and hit on Kearse.

Not true. Don't mind him at all. Just don't like the general practice of leaving higher ranked players on the board because you left yourself with a clear need for a starting guard.
Wasnt ranked that much higher. High position of need over low position of need. LT over box safety?
Cmon…..your splitting hairs.

If you look at it from this particular pick only, I can see how it would seem that way and not gonna argue otherwise.

Just don't want em doing it as a philosophy, and they did it last year at 44 also.

When there's 14-16 1st round grades and you're picking 24th, I get it.

I'm fine with the Smith pick and the LT upside winning out.

Stop trying to fight lol!

You make no damn sense. We drafted Zeke and CeeDee because they were the best talent available but you've done nothing but cry about it.

Just about every mock has him in the top 10. I'm not upset. I'm disappointed they didn't take the best player.
How did you like that Greg Ellis.Bobby Carpenter and Taco Charleton pick?

Do not put greg Ellis and Bobby Carpenter in the same sentence

Ellis was solid, not HOF but much better

Taco didn't make sense then , it makes lee sense now

It was a complete and total brain Fart

You got me confused with someone else. I literally led the glee club over Lamb and Zeke.

Then came time to pay Zeke and you cried. You'll do the same when Lamb gets his big check coming.
Everyone cried when they paid Zeke. Worse contract on the team next to Dak's
Lamb is still on a rookie contract. You can cry when they start talking contract extension.

Nope, not everyone cried about Zeke's contract, you just think everyone cried about it because you were in the middle of the mob that was crying. I remember ppl like you were so happy when Zeke was drafted without a thought in the world about what it would cost to keep him. When you draft top-notch talent you have to understand it's coming with a top-notch contract as soon as that rookie contract can be replaced... so don't cry about it. Yes, Lamb is still on his rookie deal but he has a big payday coming and you know you will cry.

How do you respond to someone who is delusional? Delusional meaning you. You literally do not understand that you are creating a strawman and expect me to defend it.
Yes I was ALL IN on Zeke in the draft and for his first few years he was playing up to his draft position. You would be bowing at the Zeke alter if we still had 2016 Zeke Then he hit a brick wall and should not have been extended. Now go find a post of mine that backs up your crying claim duckface. Duck with an F.

The definition of irrational...not logical or reasonable.

I've never seen this guy play an NFL snap or that guy play an NFL snap, but Dallas didn't draft the best player available.

Well how do you know that if you've never seen either guy play a snap in the NFL?

Because that guy was rated higher.

Hmm...Mitch Trubisky was rated higher than Patrick Mahomes. What do you think about that rating? Since you trust the rating system so much.

I'm waiting?

You know what I'm talking about, you just want to pretend you're stupid because you know you're a hypocrite every time one of your "best talent" guys gets drafted by the Cowboys. You know you don't want to give them "best talent" money when that bill comes due.

Exactly.
This draft was taylor made for those that advocate drafting for need .The Cowboys basically approached this draft like going into a supermarket with a shopping list.
I knew what position they would be drafting in every round.
The Cowboys left a lot of way better players on the board.
I knew the second they passed up Jermaine Johnson they were following a script.

Lewis Cine is better than Jermaine Johnson..

Then again, Sam WIlliams might be too.
