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

[texbumthelife]

"Compares to Lee and Kuechly" my ***.

Cowboys fell in love with another athlete, an underwear Olympian, a workout warrior. They didn't solve anything.

Hate it.

The guy I’ve wanted for awhile.

Would’ve rather had Derwin but we needed LVE.

We got a freak Linebacker.

Front 7-
LBs- Smith-Vander Esch-Lee
DL- Taco-Irving-Collins-Lawrence
Ealy-Crawford-Brice-Tapper

Not bad, IMO. Still need a 1T, but there is
definitely talent there.

if he could have been better at getting off blocks then he would be a top 10 pick,you will have some warts this low in the first rd.

To me he screams project. Hope I am wrong

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

Let’s go Floaty!

You seriously might be Jerry Jones. We are Boise State south down here.

LB was a definite need.

I'm good with it.

Hope we get another on day 3 and go hard after some undrafted 'backers.

 

[CATCH17]

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

His injury concerns were BS rumors started by walterfootball. He’s fine.

I like fred warner.

 

[Floatyworm]

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

Not only that....he just makes plays. He will be all over the field. We saw what happened to our D when Lee went out. This kid was just all over the field for BSU. An all day sucker....old school...will play through injury. When Lee gets hurt...and you know he will...this guy will cover by making plays.

Dude better be in Lees' hip pocket - in the film room, picking his brain...

Its legendary how much film Lee watches - kid better be there right along with him - that will tell me how much he wants to be all he can be.

Thank you...frickin Charlie can suck it. Or he is a Cowboy fan that made sure he slide. Mission accomplished.

 

[Maxmadden]

Cowboys did their own medical check on his neck. James was in reach and they chose LVE for many reasons.

 

[Bluefin]

I like fred warner.

Did you send him flowers?

I like him, too, but don't expect him to fall far enough to be an option.

LVE is NOT the same as Sean Lee. Lee is more comparable to Jaylon Smith with less speed.

LVE is an Urlacher style, 250 pound, downhill thumping Mike -- who just happens to be smart AND fast AND good in zone coverage.

Yes, he has block shedding issues. What rookie LB doesn't? Being around lee will make him great

 

[Jkyle]

I don't think he as any issues with the WEED!
I don't know anything about him so I will trust that the Coaches and Scouts did their homework.

 

[zrinkill]

Can't wait till Lee gets a hold of this kid ....... he has been working with Jaylon all summer ........ now he has another kid to train.

He’s only scratched the surface of his potential too.

I expect a little bit of a struggle early on but when he has the game down and he can just use his athleticism he’ll be something else.

Great post

I don’t know why people get so mad at this pick when everyone loved Watt last year

 

[Lodeus]

He's a big dude
