Seems like we dodged a bullet here
would Takk have failed our physical as well?.. would it have been just a matter of time ?

And you can find fatties in rounds 3 and 4. With Hill and Galimore to go along with Lawrence and Gregory, I’d draft Parsons in round 1, best safety in round 2 and a fatty in round 3. This defense would be so much better next year with those 3 additions plus any others that you can make on that side of the ball through free agency and the draft.But Hill and Gallimore next year will be improved over what they showed this year, especially Gallimore. Dallas had a second round grade on both and they will have more development, more experience and a lot more time in the defensive scheme.
Look at the dramatic jump Hill made from last year to this year and then add that to both players again. And there is no question both guys have the physical skills to be above average starters.

Looking at Brugler's draft list, so far CB looks like the best bet if they end up with a top 10 pick. Non QBs are OT Sewell, WR Chase, LB Parsons,Agree on all but one point. Shutdown corner in the first is a hill I will die on.
Neither of those guys should keep us from drafting a pass rushing DT high.
Fact is Watt’s tweener size scared some teams off. There have been multiple guys who weren’t able to carve out a role with a similar physical profile. That being said I hope they learned their lesson about size vs talent.

We need cornerbacks. You may not like it be we have linebackers. Follow the money....... That will tell you who we draft in the early rounds. Corner, safety and defensive tackle 1tech. Unless the Cowboys shock the world and cut Jaylon. That is a pipe dream that seems to be pushed by local media.And you can find fatties in rounds 3 and 4.

I was all over moving picks to go after Derek Barnett. He was supposed to be a Reggie White type pass-rusher with all of the saavy tools. Did not want Taco.The 2017 1st round was full of bust pass rushers.
People love to roast the Cowboys for taking Taco Charlton over T.J. Watt; but remember McKinley (Falcons) and Charles Harris (Dolphins) were picked ahead of Watt as well.
Dramatic jump is a pretty generous spin. He went from inactive to starting in a rotation on the worst defense in team history, essentially functioning as a turnstile against the run to go along with zero sacks and 3 career QB hits. He played 86% of the snaps against Cleveland and the team gave up 307 on the ground and 202 in the air, forcing no turnovers. It's quite possible that any random practice squad player might be able to make a similar jump if you gave them 2 years in the system.But Hill and Gallimore next year will be improved over what they showed this year, especially Gallimore.

Hill played better and harder. But he still ranked near dead last, if not dead last as DTs were rated.

Maybe he's trending from invisible, to terrible, to at best mediocre. Should put us in a great spot come contract extension time.

Good thing we took Taco and didn't trade up to this guy.

Rod needs punched in the face for that s**t.Just think.
We thought McKinley and Charlton were better fits than Watt.
Well done, Rod.
Taco was a lazy **** primadonna at UM - Watt’s motor alone would’ve made me take him.Fact is Watt’s tweener size scared some teams off.

So what did he fail?I’m guessing he failed the mental part.
