Stars and Second Guesses: Inside the Dallas Draft Room

Peter King

Tease: "Dallas had Lynch as a clear first-round pick, the 12th overall player on their board".

In depth account inside the Dallas War Room, great read!

The Floyd news was a surprise

Gaede · May 2, 2016

Lots of good info in here.

Risen Star · May 2, 2016

So our targets were Elliott, Ramsey and Floyd.

Risen Star · May 2, 2016

Oh and the words of Roger Staubach led us to draft Dak Prescott.

Add that to his legacy.

No Myles?! What?

Risen Star · May 2, 2016

So your scouts had a franchise grade on Lynch and you lost him because you didn't want to make that 4th a 3rd.

Quality GMing.

If he turns out to be legit, and with Jerry I now fully expect him to, that will become more and more ridiculous over the years.

I'll admit. Garrett sitting there with that smirk on his face kind of annoys me.

He better win 11+ games this year and a few playoff games or it's time for Jerry to swallow his pride and kick him out the door.

Thank goodness we stayed put and took Zeke. Can you imagine this board of if we traded down to 6 and ended up with freaking floyd. Talk about pitchfork and torch time

It this first picture it looks like Stephen spotted a leftover donut in the background

Jerry was ordering pizzas.

I guess the one positive is that at least Jerry appears to not be dumb enough to really think that Romo is going to be healthy for 3-4 more years.

Looking at how those picks went. Yep its gonna happen. Lynch will be the real deal. We drafted Sean Lee and a guy who will fast track Gregory's dismissal from the league. His Nebraska smoking buddy. Might as well buy Randy a bag of weed while we are at it.

Alexander · May 2, 2016

Since Garrett was firmly in Elliott's camp, I wonder if anyone will blame him if he somehow busts.

funkytown · May 2, 2016

I may be in the minority here, but I'm glad we didn't make either one of those trades.

We trade down from 4 to 6 and possibly lose Elliot and Ramsey to take Leonard Floyd? No thank you.

We trade our 2nd and 3rd round for Seattle's 1st to take Paxton Lynch. This is the tough one for me. I think Lynch has potential as a developmental guy but he offers nothing right now. Much like Jaylon Smith. Smith is a huge risk, but if he hits he's a generational player. Not to mention we also have Maliek Collins who I think can make some noise at that 3 tech spot.

So give me Smith,Collins, and Prescott over Lynch

First of all whats wrong with drafting another "Sean Lee" ?

And I don't think Randy needs any help getting dismissed from the league. To assume Collins was his smoking buddy is lazy. Was he his roommate? Yes. Does it mean he's a weed smoking idiot like Gregory? No.

Because he has missed like 20 games in a 5 year career. Other than that nothing. Lee is a fine player.

"Like 20 Games " in his first few years with the Boys. He missed 16 games just in 2015. He should be paid as a Part-time Player. The man has talent but durability is much to be desired.
