All these numbskulls calling him Taco because he is from the same college.

The way this draft is going, can see Avilia dropping.

The Cowboys are a RAS score team. We can’t forget that.

 

[Kwyn]

Is Mazi going to play outside linebacker and completely change his position like Parsons?

What Parsons put on tape in college didn’t match with what he turned into starting with the Chargers game his rookie year.

So, the bar for our pick at 26 is the best player on our team?

Got it.

Jeez, how can any Cowboy fan watch this and not be happy.

That's got me pumped!

 

[zerofill]

Still in shock, because I was sitting there going please don't take a RB or TE... take like a DT. I hope he is good!

It’s comical. It’s the only thing they have in common. Taco was a mediocre athlete.
Mazi is an elite athlete for his position.

would have preferred Nolan Smith

 

[Verdict]

I still remember the hate for the Martin and Frederick picks.

I think it’s solid and a need. Happy to give the benefit of the doubt.

True. You also heard hate over the Taco and Hill picks. So I’m not sure how reliable that is as an indicator.

No I want guys the impact the pass game with premium picks.

Not run stuffers lol.

This is just common sense.

Dallas didn’t get better today sadly.

All we heard was how “athletic” Hill was for a big guy. Good times.

 

[darthseinfeld]

I am going to trust Quinn to maximize his abilities. Team desperately needs middle DLine pressure and run stuffing. At least he isn't small.

Physical tools are all there. Whats his football character like?

I’m all for criticizing the pick but I can’t take anyone’s opinion serious if they compare him to Taco.

Hill was a bum with bad character who also shredded his knee.

would have preferred Nolan Smith

Gotta admit I like his character and attitude…. But how does he help. He’s a smaller lb that would have been run at.

We need to stop the run. The 49ers and eagles last year ran the ball very well. You have to be able to prevent that if you want to win the NFC

I think Mazi Smith walks in as the 2nd best run stuffer on the team. We need run defense badly. It's the glaring weakness of our team. How can you be mad that we addressed that?

 

[TWOK11]

Better than a tight end or running back

Don’t love devoting first round picks to running the ball or defending the run, given that isn’t where most games are won or lost, but could have been a lot worse.

And who is that? Porter, please don’t say tight end

maximum pressure on opposing QB you can never have enough

 

[Flamma]

Wait, wait, I was told by fentanyl laced crack smokers that we were going to draft TE LaPorta. I'm not trying to insult anyone, just the opposite. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt of being mentally impaired when making that prediction. It would only be insulting if I thought someone sober would think he'd be the pick at 26.

This seriously fills the biggest need on this defense.
