shouts to sports journalism before first take was the model.
1. I think it is a great development that fans are more educated now on prospects than ever before via youtube, analytics and Podcasts. But understanding that added knowledge is still very finite goes a long way.
2. I think I have my pets and you may have yours and end of day we are going to get what we get. I have about the same chance of dating Rihanna as any of us have of the Cowboys considering what we think about a single prospect.
3. I think the Cowboys choices really come down to a trio of players: PS2, Horn, Slater or a trade down. If you move down and still have one of those 3 consider yourself lucky.
4. I think we have to understand every year of every draft eternally fans and teams overrate draftees. Comps for every guy are made and you end up with 5 Hall of Famers and 12 first team All Pros. It's unfair to heap those expectations on these guys.
5. I think is perfectly fine to have pet cats but there are no sacred cows. I loved Pat Mahomes before he was drafted. BUT he never made me like Dak one percent less. I see far too many "media" members who are guilty of that. And that leads to some really bad opinions being shared until they infect the fan base.
6. I think round 2 could be the key to this draft for Dallas. Last year they grabbed Diggs and they ended up being a really good rookie value. The team needs to hit in R2 again because top 50 talent is hard to come by.
7. I think this is the NFL's 3rd best offense on paper right now behind KC then Tampa. And it'll be interesting to see if Tampa can manage to the aging bodies they employ.
8. I think Dallas prefers Jaycee Horn to PS2 because the coaching staff does. McCarthy coached Horn in two stops and including being his OC during Horn's peak as both Horn and McCarthy seemed to get promotions from KC to NO.
9. I think IF 8 is correct and Horn is the choice that is fine by me but it is then on the coaches to make up the difference in day 1 readiness and technique between PS2 and Horn. It's scary because DAL has fared best with the safest picks versus the gambles but here we are.
10. I think I'd be fine if Slater is selected because he is a Zack Martin clone and those guys make you better across the board. You can play your best 5 OL in that scenario and shift people in case of injury without being exposed. I'm heavy defense for sure but last year if Rashawn Slater had started at OT over Steele or Knight this team probably wins 2 more games.
