2023 Re-Draft

[Zekeats]

I mean it's easy to say you woulda picked this guy and this guy but here is at the time who I woulda drafted last year.

1. Steve Avila C
2. Ocyrus Torrence OG
3. Siaki Ika DT
4. Darius Rush CB
5. Davis Allen TE
6. Karl Brooks DT
7. Zack Kuntz TE

I don't know, I'm not as down on the draft class as most
I'd swap out Schoonmaker, but I think Mazi Smith will be much better and DeMarvion Overshown is going to be a menace
The rest? Outside of Karl Brooks I can't say anyone of them have done much to make me feel any way positive or negative

 

[cowboyec]

i wanted notre dame te michael mayer...and nothing changed since.
i do think zimmer will get mazi smith on track...at least i hope so.
but i'd still rather have the mayer of south bend.

True if Mazi pulls a 180 then this draft most likely is a win. Odds seem to be about as extreme against that happening as I have seen for any 1st rounder but you know...

Before the Cowboys picked Mazi, I wanted them to draft either Steve Avila or Michael Mayer.

I had Mazi rated as a late 2nd. On my DT rankings, Keeanu Benton was well ahead of Mazi with regards to run-stopping type DTs.

Note: One of the Cowboys favorite players in that draft was TE Sam LaPorta but they over-analyzed their draft board with regards to value and moved him down because they consider TE a lower value position than DL or OL.

I had Avila rated significantly higher than O'Cyrus Torrence.
- However, I thought Torrence at #58 would have been a solid pick.

I'm good with Overshown instead of Ika.

Surprised that Darius Rush was drafted in the 5th...expected him to be a 3rd rounder.

TE Zack Kuntz was one of my pet cats with regards to late round developmental type players.

Schoonmaker played 31% of snaps on offense.

Ferguson played 40% his rookie season and nobody knew what he would do in year 2.

i.e. Schoonmaker was ok. Not great but not terrible as a rookie. Similar to Ferguson as a rookie.

Brooks 4 sacks. More productive that our number 1

Sacks don't always tell the story though it doesn't take much to have a more productive season than Mazi.

 

[baltcowboy]

The Syracuse linemen that they were going to pick instead of Mazi should have been the first round pick. Supposedly he is one of the top young guards in the league now.

 

[KingintheNorth]

1(26) Sam LaPorta TE Iowa(8 picks later) 86 receptions, 889 yards, 10 TD
2(58) De'Von Achane RB Texas A&M (26 picks later) 103 rushes, 800 yards, 8 TD, 27 receptions, 197 yards, 3 TD
3(90) Blake Freeland T BYU (16 picks later) 9 game started
4(129) Darius Rush CB South Carolina (9 picks later) 3 games, 3 tackles, 1 pass defended
5 (169) Puka Nacua WR BYU (8 picks later) 105 receptions, 1486 yards, 6 TD
6 (178) Never make this trade (2024 5th for a 2023 6th)
6 (212) Dee Winters LB TCU (4 picks later) 15 games, 10 tackles, 1 pass defended
7 (244) Andre Carter DE Army (went undrafted) 12 games played, 2 tackles

 

[KingintheNorth]

LaPorta instead of Schoonmaker

Achane instead of Deuce Vaughn.

Freeland instead of Asim Richards

Rush instead of Eric Scott

Nacua instead of Jalen Brooks

Winters instead of Overshown might not be a win but 6th round value versus 3rd round and I'm okay with it.

Carter (6'6" Edge with the wingspan of a 6'10" athlete) over Fehoko (positionless JAG)

A critcism would be I did not find a 1Tech. I would counter that neither did the Cowboys.

 

[Risen Star]

Schoonmaker is probably a late 1 in a re-draft. He slipped through the cracks.
