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

[cowboy_ron]

This was a bit of a surprise....I'm not hating the pick, just wasn't expecting it.

 

[Chappy]

Love this pick much more than the Hill selection.

Yeah OL picks are not sexy etc but this game is won in the trenches and ignoring your OL is the first way you become a basket case of a team and just look at the the Cards and Fins for proof.

Even though it won't get much love from the uneducated football folk for obvious reasons this pick makes perfect sense as Connor is versatile on the OL and can virtually play anywhere.

Fantastic selection IMO at #90.

LOL....another off-lineman who is light and needs to bulk up how groovy......same formula and another blame game piece when Coop is doubled and Zeke is facing 8 in the box......

P.S. Heath sleep easy baby....

Can’t have too many big uglies, insurance and possible future starter

 

[endersdragon]

Walter gave it a A-, CBSsports a B. Sounds like an insurance policy at guard and center depending on what happens there with Fredbeard and Williams.

 

[UpNorth]

Should have gone with a safety here, but atleast he looks like a pretty good player

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

First two picks spent on the lines and trenches. Protecting the QB is important, I'll give this pick that.

 

[Doomsday101]

I like the fact he is not only a highly regarded Guard but also has experience at Center

 

[KingintheNorth]

Good player, good value here. I just want to know how bad the safety play has to get before someone does something about it?

This kid is the opposite of Hill. Great work ethic, limited athletically (will struggle with speed of NFL interior d linemen). Will allow them the flexibility to move on from one of these big OL contracts next year or two.

Cowboys seem to have the 2009 mentality, acting as if everything is fine. Not a great draft for us so far. The safeties are going to get us killed when games matter the most. One year they'll figure it out.

Not gonna lie a bit surprised

 

[NEODOG]

Guarantee Dallas had him rated Top 50

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

He’s a backup OG right now. That’s not great value especially when you have other needs.

Someone has to be moving or this doesn’t make much sense.

 

[ShortRound]

Nice

That's what cracks me about some of these replies. "Great value" Is this guy even going to get on the field next year?

 

[Risen Star]

I mean, McGovern is awesome value. But I'm confused...

Lael Collins will either price himself out of Dallas playing well or be replaced for being inconsistent. Connor Williams shifts out to RT and McGovern slides in at G.

Makes a lot of sense.

 

[Bluefin]

I mean, McGovern is awesome value. But I'm confused...

Guessing plan is for Connor McGovern to sit as a rookie with plan to take over at LG in 2020 with Connor Williams moving out to RT with La'el Collins walking after this season.

I don't think they'd move Collins now, he's recovering from shoulder surgery.

We'll see what they say in the post-draft presser tonight.

I really like the pick.

I wanted nothing to do with Isiah Johnson or Trayveon Williams in this spot.

 

[Sydla]

Or, recognition that Looney earned a big deal next year and won't be here as a backup. Several moving parts here

Then draft an OL or sign a vet OL in 2020.

Drafting now for a potential roster opening in two seasons isn’t wise IMO.

He can play anywhere and don't be so obtuse.

Y’all keep expecting Dallas to draft a Safety early. Jeff Heath is on the team. No worries.
