Awesome! The experts are coming out now to give McClay drafting tips.

The internet is awesome!

With regards to drafting linemen, McClay could use any advise he can get because he has proven he is not very good at it.

Half the board called Vander Esch a bust, too.

Not this half.

So....is the new nickname.."Hot cutz"? :popcorn:

What a damn waste of a pick - the problem with all of this is half the board could see this coming the second we drafted the bum.

Yep. It makes it worse when the passengers can see the iceberg coming but the crew hits it anyway.

Officially a Soft Taco Supreme.

Supremely soft, there is nothing supreme about Taco. He is officially a supremely soft taco.

With this announcement why would any team offer a trade when his rights can be had for free shortly?

Surprised they couldn't get a conditional pick.

I'd say I'm sad, but not surprised. It just makes their failure that much clearer and more glaring.

Alexander · Sep 18, 2019

I just wish that along with dumping Charlton, they dump the idiotic nickname he concocted for the defense.

does this free up cap space?

Actually costs us an additional $458,000 in cap room to cut him now.

No. Dallas has to eat $3.19 million in dead money.

I think he still counts around $1.358M of dead money on next year's cap as well.

That is a moronic tweet.

The Cowboys issue with Taco is attitude.

They are not dumping him because he can't compete physically with Armstrong at DE.

not to mention you typically error w/ good medicals.

Cowboys really didn't think this out at all.

Could have totally capitalized by releasing him yesterday on Taco Tuesday.

This front office is all about maximizing value.

There must be more to this than the Cowboys are saying. After watching the Washington game again, I have to ask. Is Kerry Hyder really that much better than Taco? Hyder looks like a LB and gets swallowed up by offensive tackles. He's quick, but not that quick. He give a good effort but even his best effort is not enough for him to defeat NFL OTs. I just get the feeling Taco got on someone's bad side somehow and now he is a wasted 1st round pick.

that "scheme fit" comment was such bull****,one of the worst decisions the FO has made in a decade when it should have been a slam dunk with Watt just sitting there.

Yep.

Think about what might have been. We'd have our pass rusher at RDE, Randy Gregory playing or not would be an afterthought, and they did no longer be wasting snaps with Crawford at that spot.

Win. Win. Win.

Instead, we have monumental failure.

Yeah well he will still get picked up any way. Just cheaper and without having to deal with the cowboys.

He won't be cheaper because he won't clear waivers

why give up anything if you believe the guy will be cut.

Risen Star · Sep 18, 2019

Stephen: Yeah? Well if we don't get what we want we'll just release him and then you can't trade for him. So think it over. ~slamming down phone~

~long uncomfortable silence~

Stephen: They'll blink.

Going to go out on a limb here and say there is little if any chance this happens.

When has this kind of thing ever happened with a player we dumped?
