Drafted by Cowboys 1st Round Pick - MLB Leighton Vander Esch, Boise St. (19th pick)

[beware_d-ware]

It's a little bittersweet seeing James and Edmunds come that close to our pick, but I'm a huge LVE fan and I'm glad he's here.

Love or Hate the pick.......


HE IS NOW A DALLAS COWBOY!

Welcome to the Big D LVE!

I have officially taken over the Dallas Cowboys from the comfort of my couch via the internet. No need to thank me. I've grinded for many years...and it's finally paid off.

Bask in the glory...for all is well

Hard to complain. Would have loved a trade up for James, but hard to complain about a guy who will likely be our MLB for a long time.

Agreed. Probably would have only cost us a 4th to trade up to 16 or 17 and get James, but LVE is awesome.

I'm just thrilled ** that we didn't squander the pick on a receiver like BSPN wanted us to, tbh.

Dallas drafting a LB with injury concerns early in the draft? That's new.

 

[LowTech]

Fantastic pick

 

[TheCoolFan]

I'm okay with him. We need SPEED in the front-7 and he brings it

Welcome to the Big D LVE!

How can you hate the pick? LVE doesn't play receiver. LVE is a smart kid and the smartest linebacker in the draft. Zero percent diva in a very weak WR class.

He will be an immediate starter and contributor as #1's should be. The loss of hitch has been rectified.

 

[StarBoyz83]

I like him. Needed a lb badly

 

[Idgit]

5 teams had him off their board due to injury concerns. I would have gone Moore WR or traded back.

Flagged. Not taken off board. Big difference.

 

[ShortRound]

Well I hope the young man becomes a great player for us. Go Cowboys!

 

[cavemanct]

Wait this dude has cervical issue and neck problems? Cmon man

 

[Aviano90]

I will give him 2 years and then judge the pick.

 

[GenoT]

Good size. Hope he’ll be ready to play major snaps right outta the chute in Sept.

5 teams had him off their board due to injury concerns.

Bull

 

[Proof]

James was my first choice if he had fallen 2 spots, but LVE was a great pick and compares well to Lee & Kuechly. Hope he is our cornerstone MLB long term and pairs well with Jaylon to form one of the best LB corps in the NFL long-term.

Also, we now have three Boise State alumni in our front 7. Hopefully, a second elite player.

Welcome!

Can’t believe they didn’t trade up for Derwin, but at least the hallmark of any great Defense is being comprised of mountain west players

Couldn’t agree with u more

 

[Rockport]
