***2013 Nfl Draft Round 3 Discussion Thread***

[cnhnyy]

An unnecessary trade down (too far) so that we missed out all our targets.

A huge reach due to panic

A yearly TE search to complement Witten

A local favorite (player from OKla, Baylor, Texas, etc)

A small school athletic freak who has limited experience.

Welcome to 2009 ...sorry, 2013 dallas cowboys' draft

 

[9darter]

I'm not nearly as excited over Wilcox as Dallas is.

I'd much rather have Phillip Thomas. I don't like guys who are projects. Jerry does though.

I wanted no part of Thomas.

 

[Rogerthat12]

Mayock says Wilcox WILL be a starter not just depth in short order.

 

[boysfanindc]

Mayock likes Wilcox, he says will be a starting safety.

My only concern we needed a FS more then a SS.

Thomas might have been better.

 

[jobberone]

True enough, very interesting prospect. I'm liking that one a lot, but there are definitely some questions about how soon he'll be ready for the big show.

He had a good Senior Bowl playing man and zone. He'll be a good STs player this year and will get some snaps in special packages at some point. Not sure he can compete that well this year but should next year as a starter. Good cover skills but he has some catching up to do with only one year as a starting DB.

 

[SDCowboy]

Still no Barkley?

 

[jblaze2004]

basically a project at safety

 

[TheRomoSexual]

No offense, but you have no idea what you're talking about. Everyone drafted today was solid value (which is a far, far cry from 2009).

I'll say it - we drafted four eventual starters so far.

I'm not crazy about the Wilcox pick. Only one year of experience at FCS level. Yes, he's a good athlete, and will be a good threat as a kick returner, but if they were looking safety, either of the Thomas' (Phillip or Shamarko) would have provided a more immediate contributor.

What I would have done - DT Brandon Williams - Missouri Southern

How many 5'8" safeties are doing anything in the NFL?

Definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

2nd round TE AGAIN

draft project safety AGAIN

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Commanders take TE Jordan Reed Florida

 

[Muhast]

overall much happier with the 3rd round than I was with 2nd

I think Wilcox will be groomed as a FS.

 

[cowboysfan31]

He was a WR and RB before becoming a S, so he understands offense and route running. That should help in his development as a DB. He should also attack the ball in the air like a WR which I really like seeing DBs doing.

 

[pacboyX]

Like we have been waiting for a safety for how long and we draft one thats a project? I mean sure he may have good hands since he was a wr but come on..tell me the scouts have seen something spectacular in this guy

 

[Hailmary]

I like the pick. I think Wilcox is a football player, period. Just might need to be patient with him and give him a year. In the meantime, he can help us out in the return game and not risk any starters to injury.

 

[jobberone]

Both safeties are FSs really playing either two deep or at times one deep. I don't know how often Kiffin uses a safety in the box. Anyone got an idea?

Keep Hating all thing cowboys and stick with it another year...AGAIN

Yep...You are right, it insanity and your name fits.

 

[Rogerthat12]

Incorrect, Mayock states Wilcox will be a starter..in short order.

Some development but not a long term project.

I have 3 kids under 5, am an attorney and had a fluke heart virus that almost killed me followed by a surgery that pierced my heart and almost killed me again. So what I'm saying is I need some of what youre smoking buddy.
