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

[CWR]

That 2014 defense sucked. It was carried by an 1,800 yard rusher. They were never on the field. Then couldn't stop a 1 legged aaron rodgers.

They overachieved period.

OK.

Did you need to use your third round pick on a backup OL?

The answer seems to be yes

 

[Beast_from_East]

Maybe, maybe not. But they are looking ahead:

This was a move for 2020...…………….I'm not sure why so many posters are confused about it

On a sidenote can we sign his Dad too? Dude looks massive.

His dad looks more ripped than he does

 

[Wood]

this should be at top.

With the first 2 draft picks. You can say bye bye to the Collin's Cowboy careers. Just a matter of when for La'el

Was Connor a starter on his college Oline? One would assume so, was it just the last year?

Connor Williams? Was starting LT for UT.

Connor Williams? Was starting LT for UT.

How about the Connor this thread is about.

 

[Texas_Pete]

How about the Connor this thread is about.

Hahaha - my bad!!

 

[LatinMind]

Only for this season… Which is understandable for a 3rd rounder.

Next season he starts at guard, with Williams or Martin (most likely) kicking out to RT because Collins will not be resigned.

i dont think either will be a T.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

This guy is an absolute stud

I'm sensing the FO wants to faze La'el out of the OL as it now stands -- partly because of his pass pro vulnerability and the dough he'd cost in 2020. According to Jane Slater, Connor Williams has already been told he'll eventually be assigned to playing OT (possibly to replace Collins.) It's yet to be determined exactly when, although next year appears the most likely point in time.

This is about depth at G-C-G

After Frederick went down, Looney & Su’a-Filo did a great job filling in.

When Martin was hobbled it stretched them thin.

2018 Dallas saw the value of investing in quality OL depth

Can't operate with this line of thinking.

Shouldn't you know a player can play a position before moving him there?

Redmond always looked like an extra in a football movie to me.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

I do like McGovern. There’s definitely that cliche “once he gets his hands on you” element to him, but I do see some issues when he’s trying to react laterally to quicker guys.

 

[Scotman]

I would take a high round (rounds 1-4) o-lineman and d-lineman in every single draft. In my limited opinion, our o-line the last couple of years has struggled. I love this pick and the Hill kid. Conner Williams looks like he has beefed up, too. Did I want a monster safety? Of course. But even though the line picks aren't exciting, they are what make or break this team.

Shouldn't you know a player can play a position before moving him there?

Not necessarily. The coaches and scouts have to project if a player can change positions. Think about the Cowboy's Oline. Except for Fred Beard, all of the Olinemen changed from the position they played in college.
