Drafted by Cowboys 2nd Round, Pick 58 - Cowboys Draft DT Trysten Hill, UCF

[ShortRound]

 

[NorthwestDallas40]

I feel like every draft there is a player the Cowboys reach for. He is the 1tech that we have passed on for years, just a little surprised with the safeties on the board and depth of dts available in this draft.

No one knows exactly how this draft would play out if they passed but I would think they could have traded down got an extra 4th round pick then traded up again in the 3rd.

hes not a 1 tech. clearly a 3 tech.

 

[jnday]

No, he is not likely to be a 1 tech. As a matter of fact that was his issue in college... He doesn't like playing the nose and that led to the issue with his coach.

I agree. Everything that I have seen says that he is a 3-tech. I wonder how much improvement, if any, that this pick will provide the run defense. A big run stuffer would do wonders for the defense.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

I don’t think so.

I think they made their mind up well before the draft and didn’t care who was on the board.

That is why everyone knew somehow who the 58th pick in the draft would be far ahead of time.

I know between the signing of Covington and the drafting of this kid I think the DT position is in better shape than it was post playoff loss vs. the Rams.

 

[CWR]

All this pick did is solidify the fact that Jeff Heath will be starting once more in 2019.

Rationalize that.

You cant hold the goat down.

 

[ShortRound]

Give the kid a chance, he’s a cowboy now

 

[endersdragon]

Hooker, Harris..... who else?

Seeing guys give day 2 grades to Bell, Thompson, and Gardner-Johnson. Granted Bell seems to vary a lot

 

[Sydla]

This. I was not feeling the LVE pick (ignorance on my part). Now I love the Wolf Hunter.

We gotta trust our scouts on this one.

Tweets like that are pushing a narrative because let’s note fans didn’t like Charlton and they are looking pretty on target there.

We also hated Chaz Green because of a ton of red flags--and lo and behold, we were right

 

[StarBoyz83]

But Thornhill

I want to die

Itll be fine heath will be the starter

You cant hold the goat down.

I guess you can't.

 

[texbumthelife]

Completely agree.

I wouldn't go so far as to call him a douchebag. But yeah, safety was the bigger need and had higher rated players.

Heath is a major problem.

He quit on his team and teammates because he didn't like the coach. He's a dbag.

 

[ultron]

McClay signed off on Charlton.

Apparently he buys into Marinelli's garbage.

Interesting how you shine a spotlight on the one bust over the last 5 years. It's the 58th pick in a weak draft - no ONE player is going to be a game changer at this point in the draft.

 

[charron]

So happy we didn't draft a SS. We can still get a SS in the 3rd to compete with heath.

 

[Alexander]

Hooker is a good SS for me.

Won't take him either.

 

[GenoT]

The sky is falling!

We’ll rue the day!

Maybe Joe Randle can go out and steal a truckload of dry underwear; make ‘em available to some of the folks in here.

I quit jobs when I don't like the boss, that doesn't make me a dbag - it just means I have higher standards for myself.

 

[stiletto]

Guess I have to be open minded, the rumors over the last 2-3 days were there. It is what it is... if he is Taco-Like.. I'll generally be sad. It means the team is done for years to come. Yep..I am dramatic...but you CANNOT miss on two defensive guys.

 

[Sydla]

We also hated Chaz Green because of a ton of red flags--and lo and behold, we were right

And that’s the thread with some of those guys......

Irving, Charlton, Green........ questionable work ethic, etc.
