Drafted by Cowboys 2017 1st - Taco Charlton

[Deep_Freeze]

Well everyone wanted a DE, they pick the only one left, and everyone is upset.

Willis won't make it to 60 and they probably had Taco over him.

I wasn't a DE or bust type of guy, but I'm indifferent really with Taco. I'm sure Rod has the whole offseaon to see where Taco and Taper fit.

 

[Kareemovweet]

Great pick... Just watch the Ohio St game last year. He was a beast and with his size and with Coach M pushing him he will only get better. Improved every year.

 

[Rogerthat12]

Garrett and Rod wanted Taco, hopefully Rod can bring out his ability consistently.

Taco was not my personal choice but I will give him a chance.

 

[Miller]

not really true though.

Moore, lawrence, taco and irving can basically play either side.

Not necessarily true. Some guys are meant for one side due to moves, bend, strength. For first time in years I think we went too much on need

 

[pugilist]

There is always room for a very good LB. I think he will be a great Mike.

i don't see it, but you never know..

 

[davey999]

How many LEs do we need?

 

[DB_Cooper]

Shante Carver 2.0?

Moore and lawrence have already done it and taco has done it at michigan.

It will work itself out. We have been lacking size and power imo in recent years. I think with the additions of pea and taco plus whatever moore gives us the team has improved a little bit in this area.

Picking 28 projection is really huge.

 

[TrailBlazer]

Kevin King is nothing but a workout warrior. Was vastly outclassed by his teammate Sidney Jones on tape. Kevin King struggles to find the ball in flight. Excellent length but still gets beat at the catch point. Press technique is suspect at best. Gets beat off the line. Really attacks downhill versus the run, pretty good tackler.

Really glad they didn't buy into the combine numbers. Tape wasn't good for king.

Taco doesn't have the great combine numbers but fills a need and fits the scheme better than Watt imo. I think he will be a solid player but I don't expect him to be a difference maker early on.

 

[Swanny]

Never watched him play but after reading some stuff on him he seems like he might be Greg Ellis without the bad memory of passing on Randy Moss.

 

[CF74]

Dude had mad production on one foot!

 

[JohnsKey19]

The front 7 will be better next season with his addition, and potentially Jaylon and Tapper joining the fray. Now we have the rest of the draft to add to the depleted secondary.

 

[TheCoolFan]

I like him better than Ogbah/Dodd, who were in that late 1st/early 2nd range last year

 

[CyberB0b]

Why not? Stop it...

Because you're near the bottom of the draft. The sure fire studs are gone by then.

 

[LatinMind]

How's that possible when he ran 4.92?

is the QB 40 yrds from the tackle?

 

[RS12]

I am interested in hearing the press conference as to the background thought process on this decision.

mumble mumble war daddy

 

[lqmac1]

yea brad sham and mickey both said they didn't see watt in this defense at all.

I liked watt. I really just didn't want a corner in the first round and something for the front 7 so I am happy.

I didn't really care for Watt. A lot of people are going off of what his brother has done. No way their dad has that type of juice Lol

 

[bayeslife]

is the QB 40 yrds from the tackle?

Right? Taco is a big boy and ran a very good 3 cone time. He has the quickness to play the position

 

[yimyammer]

I will give him a chance.

that's awfully kind of you, I'm sure he and the Cowboys appreciate that

 

[JBond]

is the QB 40 yrds from the tackle?

He lacks the burst off the line. That is the difference in 40 times for the big guys.
