As long as you're kidding...This is Travis Frederick all over again. I can't believe these guys and their reaching.

I truly hope I am not kidding about the Travis Frederick part. Time will tell. I have a lot of issues with the Cowboys front office and coaching but I have gotten to a point where I have to give the Cowboys some benefit of doubt when it comes to drafting. They are not perfect (no team is) but they have improved tremendously in that area.As long as you're kidding...
Well, they passed up a chance to go up and get James and Edmund, two players WE thought were top12 who were clearly within reach. That should tell how much they think of this kid. I'm guessing in addition to his amazing potential, they hoping he also give this D some leadership when an injury takes Lee out.
Trading down and getting both Frederick and Williams for the 16th pick was outstanding.I truly hope I am not kidding about the Travis Frederick part. Time will tell.

Or the teams above just weren't interested in trading down.In their minds, LVE > Multiple picks to move
You think he's as good as Frederick? Wow, we knocked this one out of the park, then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!This is Travis Frederick all over again. I can't believe these guys and their reaching.
He was.
Leighton Vander Esch worked out at the Star and spent significant time with Sean Lee when he was here. They thought he was a Brian Urlacher 2.0 and DC Rod Marinelli coached Urlacher in Chicago #Cowboys
That’s pretty high praise
But he’s not. Wanna talk about Romo now?I was just wondering if LVE was one of our first round grades and was he ranked our best player available when we were on the clock at pick nineteen. Thoughts? Go Cowboys
That would be great. I don't know what he will turn out to be but given our needs and what was available I am satisfied with the pick. We need LB help and I would prefer LVE over any WR in the first. Although I would try to look on the bright side if we had done that too.You think he's as good as Frederick? Wow, we knocked this one out of the park, then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Big time paid off!Uhhhh, Yosemite turned out to be worth a 1st round pick.
