Booker: we got a football player

[Hawkeye0202]

Great. So they can stop the Philly pass rush.

Who’s running into the holes the line creates?

Better question.

Who’s stopping Barkley on defense? Against Phillys offensive line?

We still have six more rounds
A little patience might help

 

[Rayman70]

we have.

how many punches do you need to realize you are in a fight?

how many decades do you need for JJ to tell you straight to your face

IM NOT LOOKING TO WIN THE SB:"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We've waited 30 years and Shotty just got here in the position he's in. Waiting another couple years to see what he builds isn't going to hurt anything.

Wasted Pick in the First Round

Should have picked a receiver in the first round. Offensive lineman take years to develop we need an impact player on offense, Booker is average at best.

What are you going to do with a WR if the QB does not have time to throw to him. What are you going to do with the WR when the defense knows that they cant run the ball. You always start with the trenches and work your way out. Football 101.

 

[Rayman70]

When we’re battling it out for 3rd place in the division next year I’ll be there to remind yall that liked this pick.

I will agree if we bomb the day two and three picks. Wait to see at least before you walk to the edge of the cliff blindfolded.

Amen. This^^

No. We have 4 more rounds. They have to get a RB and WR with the next 2 picks.

No choice now.

So. Who from
Rounds 5-7 helps us against the Philly offense?

What are you going to do when there is only one WR?

Have all that time in the pocket and no one to throw to?

Football 101.

FYI...

I saw this. Let the hype begin. He was second to Jake Slaughter, etc. Maybe he is the second coming of Zack Martin. That's not the point. 3 of the last 1st round picks on the OL is basically ignoring the rest of the roster. If the Cowboys think they just need to get 5 first round picks on the OL they will never win anything.

Furthermore, This really upsets the rest of the draft. Are they going to ignore WR this year like they did with the RB spot last year? How did that work out? And They also need a RB. What round do the chase a RB? Will they even draft a RB?

OL is a need, but they have bigger needs and they should address those first. IMO, Booker will make the Cowboys only marginally better. The problem with the OL is the two tackles. Hoffman was serviceable at RG for now. But look at their RBs, WRs, DTs, DEs, LBs, CBs. Between injuries and lack of talent, these other positions are much greater needs than OG. Wasting a pick on an OG in the first round only makes it harder to address their real needs.

And one more point. If they do not come out of this draft with a WR, then the likelihood of Jerry hitting the panic button to stop the criticism of his draft goes way up and in response he will trade away good draft capital to get a WR.

I have no issues with this pick. He very likely could have been the best available player on the board at the time. The Cowboys have needs at virtually all position groups. Smart to get what appears to be the best available. A team cannot have too many good big linemen guys. I hope he lives up to the hype.

Exactly. Never have I seen our fanbase so filled with negativity after such a solid pick. Not sexy but much needed.Sometimes our fans just dunno how to be happy when we do a good thing.

A 7-10 offensive line replaced a HOFer with a rookie and yall are excited lololololol

Football 101.

A good line that can give time for a WR to get open, then even an average WR can be made to look good. However if the O line is weak then even CD cannot be impactful, that is when you get those short dunk passes. Are you seriously telling me we have no one after CD? Also we only went through day 1 of the draft, we still have a ways to go before this thing is done.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

No. We have 4 more rounds. They have to get a RB and WR with the next 2 picks.

No choice now.

So one player you wanted to select defensively after I assume.... Will stop Philly offense?

I never hate a pick in the trenches.

Exactly and here's a wake up call to our fans on this board, if you thought we were going to find everything we need in this draft to fix what ails us, your setting yourself up for disappointment. This draft is about finding building blocks to install stalwarts for culture and a new way of doing things here. This wasn't ever gonna be a quick fix. The pick last night was correct and we can rest easy I think when we ponder our Oline capabilities. Day 2 should build on the physicality theme. I imagine we will find some speed too.

a lot of our fans love the mediocrity. its just fact.

 

[XXLMike]

Yeah, but we weren’t picking at 20

Trade out

Martin was a shell of what he was last 2 years and the 7-10 record was also a product of a ton of injuries. Key injuries.

 

[Rayman70]

Trade out

No trade partner. We wanted to. They ended up picking a great guard, best guard in the draft. Yes a bit too high but who cares. Travis Frederick was thought to be taken too high and I think that turned out pretty well. Lol

We love winning. A stout line wins ALOT of games if it's dominating at the point. Wr doesn't do that.
