Ashton Jeanty, TMAC and Jihad Campbell on the board at 12

[CowboysFaninHouston]

A MiKE LB with suspect instincts and a dinged shoulder at 12?

I don't know ow much about him honestly.
But if a first round talent defensive player is there. I take him. I rather invest 10 draft picks on defense

ashton jeanty,rb-boise st
and i move on to the rest of my day...smiling.

I’d t pick up the phone and listen to offers but you’d have to offer me a heck of a lot more than what’s on the trade value chart (wouldn’t happen) for Jeanty.

 

[plasticman]

Both Campbell and T-Mac have the potential to be stars in this league. Only one of the three is a generational talent at his position.

Jeanty has been called "Emmitt Smith with speed" Only one RB in the history of college football had more career yardage, Barry Sanders.

I don't hear anyone calling T-Mac "the next Jerry Rice".

Even if Campbell was "the next Lawrence Taylor", we already have one of those.

 

[kskboys]

Jihad Campbell isn't even a consideration at 12 in my book. I'd take the UCLA LB over Campbell.

Yeah, Campbell is a project.

 

[Hardline]

How much would it cost to trade up to 5 to get Jeanty?

I'm hearing a lot of talk that the Jags will probably select Jeanty now,

By most mock draft Ashton Jeanty will be gone by pick 12, but who would you take if the best RB, WR and LB is on the board at pick 12. Im torn, love Jeanty, TMAC and CD could be lights out and Campbell and Parson could be a nightmare for offenses. Who would you take. FYI: I dont like Golden, he is to small and not sure if he is a true stand alone #1 WR. TMAC reminds me of DJ Moore or Mike Evans and that would make a crazy match up with CD and TMAC.

What are their draft grades? How do you grade the rest of the draft?

If I take a wr in the 1st do I think there is a decent RB in the 2nd or 3rd? Same question about LB. We absolutely need a starter but not reach

1) dak didn't win with Elliott whom was good

2) everyone hated Elliott second contract, didn't want to pay him

3) Elliott wasn't worth his full second contract to most posters here

Clutch on to regime change and things are different now. Clutch onto wanting to run Jeanty into the ground for 4 years on a cheap deal and dispose of him, and hope we win during that window.

I'll use my picks on players at positions I want here for 8-10 years, not 4. No one will want Jeanty after his first contract is up.

If someone can convince me our oline and oline coaching staff are good enough right now to support a good running back, or we are only one lineman away from being good at blocking...maybe I change my mind

 

[Frosty]

Get the Impact player. Forget getting a worse 1st rounder and a 3rd, or more likely a 4th that probably will never be worth a darn in terms of value of that impact player you could have had.

I agree...get the impact player at 12, but I'am not sure Jeanty would be there and the 2025 draft is loaded with RB's. So they could look in the 2nd for a RB. I really love the idea of pairing of TMAC and CD or Campbell and Parson....it's a force multiplier

The problem was the defense in 2016. The team did not win with young Elliott and Dak.

1. Elliot took dak and the cowboys to the playoffs as a rookie.

Your 2. And 3. Are the same.

The difference between Elliott and jeanty is:

Jeanty is a better prospect
4 vs 12
Jeanty at 12 would be BPA by far.
Elliott at 4 was not BPA

 

[kskboys]

Jeanty!
I wouldn’t take the other 2 before the 20s!

Yeah, this one isn't even close.

Why potentially spend two valuable picks to cover a position(rb) over 8 years, instead of using the valuable pick on a guy that could potentially be here for 8 years and only one pick was used?

Positions you want to take advantage of a rook contract ans dispose of the guy, I'm not spending 1st or 2nd round picks on.

And that's not even adding in the argument that rb's are a dime a dozen, which is why they have been devalued the last 10-15 years. They aren't hard to find.

I'm spending valuable picks elsewhere unless it's a 'last piece of the puzzle' type situation...and that ain't it with the Cowboys.

If Jeanty falls to us, he should be the pick without a doubt. He's a top-five prospect. If the Joneses didn't leave us with so many holes to fill through the draft, I don't think this would even be a debate. You have a shot at one of the few elites in this draft, you take it.

 

[Acceptablename]

Jeanty dont over think it.

Yes. Exactly.

You could get one guy that affects one side of the field and a coordinator's (including the opposing) entire gameplan, or 2 dudes who are there and they're fine... They're okay. Maybe good.

I'm trying to be objective here...

You are being blinded by 'elite' and 'generational' hype.

Rb's have been devalued because they are easy to find and the overall difference between most isn't that great in a passing league.

He might be BPA in this draft, but are there not other important variables to consider here?

I hate that rb's have been devalued, but there are reasons for it. Is it smart to spend valuable picks on them is a question worth asking. BPA, elite, generational...whatever you want to say...but does it make sense?

If RBs are so easy to find then why are most RB starters found in rounds 1 and 2? It's a myth.

The difference between Henry/Barkley and RBs ranked 10-15 is monstrous.

Who's feeding you this off the wall incorrect stuff?

So let's do the Jerry route then.
Good enough for a long time and nothing.

I get people saying we need to build a team and then get the BOMB player, but you could also get the BOMB player and build around them also.

Our main problemo is Jerry doing Jerry things.
