Anyone else still mad we didn't move up and get Vea or James?

Second round picks that didn't work out Bruce Smith, Mo Claiborne, Randy Gregory, how is our batting %?

Who is Bruce Smith?
Mo Claiborne was a 1st rounder.
Randy Gregory should be reinstated and is only 25.

Bruce Carter + Jaylon Smith = Bruce Smith.

Bruce Carter, not Bruce Smith, sorry such a generic name I forgot his last name, is he out of the NFL now?

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

If I hated the Williams and or Gallup Pick...I would be upset.
Since I like both of them I am ok.

I really did like Vea though.

Trade with Pat's for Danny Shelton or Malcolm Brown.

Or just sign Jonathan Hankins and keep moving forward. No time for regrets or what ifs.

Age matters in the NFL draft.

https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/age-played-a-bigger-role-in-the-nfl-draft-its-about-time/

That is great and all but does not apply here. The cutoff is 23 where you see a dropoff and then 24 where it is a cliff.

LVE is 21.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

The analysis says a year difference is not trivial. That's kind of the entire point.

The analysis shows no significant difference between LVE and Edmund's ages.

From the article:

While the youngest group of players age 20-21 performs only slightly better on average (43.8 average approximate career value) than the second-youngest at age 22 (42.9), the gap quickly widens.

LVE is in the "youngest" bracket too ie no different in their analysis.

Time will tell how mad I get about our draft picks.

 

[JonJon]

No.

 

[Verdammung]

It sucks we didn't address those positions, but in hindsight you couldn't convince me to give up Connor Williams or Michael Gallup to get a player.

 

[Verdict]

Yeah, we were basically priced out of Vea's range. James for a 3rd may have been interesting though. I like LVE but I really liked James.

Yeah. Thank goodness we won that meaningless Eagles game last year.

He was with the Jets last year...

If somehow Dallas had gotten a player at the other positions, then they wouldn't have gotten Williams or Gallup. Cowboys needed (and still need) help at multiple positions, as long as Williams and/or Gallup turn out all right, to me it's okay who we got...

 

[Doomsday101]

Would have liked either one of these guys (Vea or James) had they fallen to the Cowboys pick. However they didn't and I'm happy they were able to get Vander Esch.

 

[blueblood70]

move on bro..its over and done with

 

[sbark]

Next year stacked and loaded with d.line,

 

[xwalker]

Yeah. Thank goodness we won that meaningless Eagles game last year.

I'm convinced they were taking Vander Esch over James and Vea was still out of reach even with a loss to the Eagles.

Only a HOFer and one of the best of all time!!!!!

 

[jay94]

yes Morris Claiborne was a first rounder, did you forget the trade that took to acquire him... I rest my case. Also I didn't say I hated it, that it didn't work out.
