big fat guy who will never make a play.

I hate us

 

[Spottswoode]

Those insiders nailed that pick.

 

[gimmesix]

Well, I wanted a first-round DT. Not what I expected, though. We went with power.

 

[beware_d-ware]

NOOOOOO

 

[kevinhickey]

I hate us

We need a DT. Let’s hope Mazi Smith can plug up the middle. He played well for Michigan.

 

[beware_d-ware]

EAGLES GET CARTER.

WE GET MAZI.

I HATE LIFE.

 

[bleachedwheat]

I'm a sad panda... they reached instead of picking BPA Joey Porter Jr. actually fell to them and they blew it. Nolan Smith or Myles Murphy would have been better picks. It just sickens me. Who lets these people run a team.

 

[InPhiltraitor]

Oh dear God. Tell me I’m dreaming.

 

[InPhiltraitor]

Can someone quickly do something stupid so we don’t have the worst selection of round one!

 

[gimmesix]

Although this looks like a reach, all of us have wanted Dallas to address DT. I wanted more of a 3-tech penetrator, but our run defense just got a major boost. We've got size on the inside now.

 

[Spottswoode]

I didn’t think they could make a pick that disappointed me…I was wrong.

I guess the bright side is at least we showed the DLine some love. I trust Quinn knows what he is doing.

That's true, but they addressed that problem in the stupidest way they could have

Never know. Jacksonville just addressed DT with the next pick with a player rated lower than Mazi, so maybe these teams know something we don't.

 

[Malhavoc]

And like clockwork, the hate for the pick is here.

 

[bleachedwheat]

This time its justified

This might be a product of us having to trade for Hankins last year. That trade illustrated that we were not good enough on the inside. I guess now Quinn will play Mazi and Hankins on the interior in our pseudo-five-man fronts on early downs.

 

[gimmesix]

This time its justified

Fans felt that way last year concerning the Tyler Smith pick. Don't know how this one will turn out overall, but as far as playing the run, this is a very good pick. Teams just don't spend first-round picks on run-stopping DTs.

 

[Malhavoc]

This time its justified

It was justified last year and when we picked Micah as well. Nothing new.

 

[Gaede]

I like this..I didn't love the options on the board and Mazi should help our defense a lot, as a starter right out the bat.

We've always bemoaned the Cowboys downplaying the importance of DT, then we finally draft one and it's Armageddon.
