***2013 Nfl Draft Round 1 Discussion Thread***

[JoaquinFenix]

Stephen: The guys we valued at 18 weren't there.

 

[RSM94]

Yes....and they wanted OL with good reason. RG is the biggest hole on the team...the need at DL is not anywhere near as great. Boys may need depth at DL, but they don't need starters. Who really wants to see Bernardeau start at RG again next year? Frederick can play C too if necessary. Would like to see them get an OT in 2nd or 3rd round. Good pick IMO.

Cowboys claim they overperformed on the trade according to their value chart.

...what ELSE are they gonna say? These are the same actors that clapped, smiled, shucked and jived all while slapping each other on the backs when the pick was made: just assinine

 

[Doomsay]

Jerry just said the defensive line is a position of strength when just asked about taking a DT instead. People can't wait for Jerry to leave, I have no faith in Stephen either.

Stephen said that same thing last year.

 

[JoaquinFenix]

Stephen: There was competition for the trade-down pick. More than 1 team invovled.

 

[cml750]

Meh, this doesn't really bother me at all. In fact, I am am tired of wasting time getting upset about anything the Boys do. I will look at this just like I come have to look at the games. I will expect the worst and hope for the best.

 

[ajk23az]

Oh? Why is that?

Don't act like you don't know.

 

[JoaquinFenix]

Jerry: There were 1st round players on our board available at 18.

 

[BlueStar22]

Frederick is a cerebral football player who was responsible for setting Wisconsin's line assignments, and his dual math and engineering degrees could certainly make for interesting interviews.

I don't want a cerebral football player. I want a guy who mauls people. Someone nasty like Larry Allen or Erik Williams. I want a big physical guy in the trenches.

 

[JoaquinFenix]

Jerry: Cowboys had Frederick graded right for 31st pick.

If Frederick starts and plays well, and they sign Clabo or Winston.....the offensive line looks much better.

Still terrible draft management though. Could have gotten this guy at 47, maybe later.

 

[BRoni]

Nobody is going to call this a win and the Cowboys will be criticized. That doesn't mean it can't work out, even if he was a reach. Lets see how the rest of the draft goes.

How do you know this? Because Mayock says so? :rolleyes

I bet he thought EJ Manuel could have been had in the 2nd-3rd as well....

 

[Zordon]

The reaction in the war room, the tone of this press conference is 180 difference from last year when we got Claiborne. Jerry is on the defensive in this PC b/c he knows he screwed up.

No way given the way OL was going

 

[JoaquinFenix]

Jerry: We had 19 first round grades.

 

[gimmesix]

Garrett: Frederick was the hightest rated player on our board when we took him.

Yet no one will believe that, just like they didn't with Sean Lee and Bruce Carter.

 

[BHendri5]

great pick

 

[erod]

Mark Stepnoski was a third rounder.

Time will tell.

 

[JoaquinFenix]

Jerry: We were unanimous. (I'm calling B.S. on this)
