Twitter: Bad Day To Be A Cowboys Draft Bust

[Alexander]

Once you get past the second round, isn't "solid contributor" considered the appropriate expectation?

I had little to no knowledge of him prior to us drafting him. So, maybe my level of expectations weren't very high to begin with so it doesn't feel like a "bust" to me. Maybe just different perspectives on this player.

He was a converted RB with very little in the way of instincts to play S.

To me, he was a reach that they desperately tried to make him successful because they overdrafted him. He played a lot but it wasn't like he was all that good when he did.

I don't see why the second round is such a drop off point. I would hope that if the player is a top 100 pick that you expect better than what he delivered.

Chaz had few defenders here.

They are not that hard to identify.

The old "he played great, you know, that one time, at guard".

He was a D-2 safety who only played safety for Georgia Southern for a year. Felt like they drafted him off a good combine(forget his sparq rating) and potential.

I don't think he was a bust, but someone who didn't quite develop past anything more than a role player/marginal starter. Was here for 4 years

But he was projected to go in that round by some Draft Gurus.

Chaz was a bust due to how bad he fell apart mentally.

 

[McKDaddy]

Fair points. I had forgotten about the conversion aspect and yes I would agree they overdrafted him. Much like Roy Williams his coverage was what got exposed. His run support wasn't bad.

 

[dogunwo]

I remember the good old days around here where he would be carted off the first day of camp with cramps every year and people would defend him.

There is definitely some accountability on Chaz's part, but the Cowboys certainly had a hand in ruining his career making him change to a position he wasn't suited to play.

did I see or hear Flacco went down already?
not our draft bust that would be crazy though, heard edlemen had thumb injury..

If I was zeke id hold out to just avoid injury until late in TC 10 days before 3rd PS game to get ready for season..he doesnt need much time really..

Nobody ruined him. He just wasn't good enough and couldn't stay healthy. There is a pretty good reason he is now on his fourth team and probably won't even be in the league this coming year.

They both were scrubs. Sucks to be them getting injured during the beginning of their respective team's training camp.

3rd rounders are considered busts now?

 

[KJJ]

I lost track of how many times Chaz Green had to be taken off the field prior to training camp. It was either cramps, dehydration or a tummy ache.

 

[cern]

every o-lineman got better under the coaching of frank pollack except chaz green. appears he just wasn't coachable. or lazy.

 

[DasSchnitzel]

Heh, Chaz Green. How he got signed at all is a mystery to me.

You cant even grab him as a camp body, he literally doesnt stay healthy enough to serve in that capacity either.

3rd rounders should be the bulk of a team 3 or 4 years after they're drafted. that was always a failing of cowboy drafts until mcclay/Stephen took over.

Small price to pay

Odell didn’t know his butt from a hole in the ground after that hit

Opened the first thread and literally the first three comments are negative about Chaz.

 

[erod]

Somebody whispered the name "Adrian Clayborn", and Chaz' spine fell out of his back.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Chaz Green and JJ Wilcox. Former Cowboys. Someone else's problems now.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Not sure if I consider Wilcox a bust

Correct. He wasn't a star but developed into a solid starter for us; especially considering his small school background.

I actually recall Chaz Green playing pretty well at left tackle for three games early in the 2016 season. Then he had that meltdown in Atlanta a year later.
