Drafted by Cowboys 3rd Round, Pick 90 - Cowboys Draft G Connor McGovern Penn State

[reddyuta]

Anyone really believe we had the talent to win the Superbowl last year? Because this draft is a depth draft so far which tells me that's what the FO thinks.

I look at it as drafting 2 players who will start next year(hopefully).

 

[The Quest for Six]

Why is it his weaker position?

Why would u put your best Lineman at guard when u need him at LT?

He's an absolute stud guard, one of, if not thee not best guard in the NFL, why would you move him, that makes zero sense! And when Healthy Smith is a much better tackle than Martin.

Ignore the O Line? We have invested more in our line than anyone in the league and gave up 56 sacks

A lot of those sacks was due to the QB holding on to the ball for a much longer time than he should.

 

[Hennessy_King]

Nothing is better than drafting for good ol' "depth"

I mean, that's how we landed the likes of Chaz Green, Stephen McGee, Robert Brewster, Felix Jones and so on and so on

Ugh this draft doesnt make this team better for 2019. Unless this kid hill absolutely balls out and our coaches start him over ty craw and collins

Mel Kiper did. Kiper had Connor McCovern in the top 5 best available and only OL before the Cowboys pick. When I saw that I knew the Cowboys was going to draft the best available player of need (He can play all 5 OL positions).

Walterfootball also thought it was a really good pick for us. The sad truth is Martin is the only readily reliable offensive lineman on this team so anytime we can get someone with a lot of versatility we should take it.

Zzzzzzzzzz go do some research and find out how many our line gave up and how many were on the QB. It's not close

I rarely give benefit of the doubt to this FO but I am good with this pick.

 

[vicjagger]

Williams arms are too short to play tackle at this level imo

We're having them extended. We have the technology.

Versatility is code for not that good but can get by at many spots

 

[RS12]

Since we are drafting for future cap implications, lets see if we can replace Byron Jones with a 4th round pick.

 

[CowboyRoy]

Our coach is on a one year deal. Its make it or break it in 2019. And we have a rookie OC, to boot.

Are we trying to win next year or...?

You pick best player. Simple.

Sometimes that's what you need, especially in the 3rd round. You are never going to find a guaranteed day 1 starter in the third round, it just won't happen, so finding a guy who can fit into multiple spots and not give up a ton is a huge bonus. Remember what Anthony Hitchens (yea I know he was a 4th rounder) did for us with his versatility in his rookie year?

 

[Silly]

don't know if this has been posted yet. But talking cowboys said collins is heading in to a new contract next season. They have to start dropping players If Dak wants 30 million a year. So Dallas needs cheaper linemen.

McGovern may just sit for a year and slide over to LT in a year.

Hitchens was an inside lb and special teamer. He was ok. Draft guys that at least can compete for spots rounds 1-3

Says who?

Martin is so good he’ll be an all pro anywhere

Whatever Collins signs for, is too much.

He’s not a very good RT.

 

[Floatyworm]

I can't believe how many people love this pick. We just drafted Shane Hannah

I bet it’ll yield us a 4th. I won’t complain.
