Booker: we got a football player

[MountaineerCowboy]

They forced their own hands now. That’s my issue. This team is constantly getting in its own way.

Guard wasn’t a need. This team was anemic on offense regardless of the line. They couldn’t score points. Instead of using a pick on golden or Hampton they went guard and are praying there is no run on RBs before they pick next? This team has 0 plan. Other than stay relevant.

Rico had 3 straight 100 yard rushing games last year and this fanbase badly wants to believe a guard is going to be a difference maker.

Guard was not a need and is not an impact position.

This team is no better today than it was yesterday.

A QB

Just any QB? Nobody in particular? Name one who will change our end result this season? Share your wisdom.

They haven't forced anything. This was never a one year fix. Everyone needs to stop pretending that their plan for Round 1 was going to make us competitive this season. We could have drafted Ward, Hunter, Carter and Jeanty. We still wouldnt be in the Superbowl next Feb.

They will be just as angry at the end of this season as they were last year in week 10.

A lot here actually believe they have a plan and Jerry knows what he’s doing.

The lazy hire of this HC shows me this team is about staying relevant, selling out the stadium and getting the best TV ratings and Forbes ranking they can.

There’s no stopping it. It is what it is. But for anyone to say Booker was the best pick they could have made, is laughable.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

This is why I like the pick.. they finally understand that the eagles controls the division. That's who they are competing with

Hahaha.

You think they have a plan? They didn’t even leave their own building to hire their head coach.

Plan and the cowboys aren’t words that should be in the same sentence.

The plan is to keep us talking, keep the Cowboys relevant and make as much money as possible in doing that.

Jerry has said as much in his new documentary.

Their plan has nothing to do with putting a SB roster together.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

lol.

Rush had time last season. The line wasn’t the issue in pass protection.

The WRs on the team couldn’t get open. Even with time. So sure. Let’s grab a guard. Not the WR who excels at getting open quickly. In a run first offense. Let’s not grab a DT who we can build the defense around. Let’s grab a guard to add to the other 2 first rounders. We can collect them all!

Who did you want to pick at 12? I mean you on a pretty serious rant.. who you wanted

 

[Davidlee1973]

Traded back to where?

Hampton went at #22.

What team between #13 and #21 was looking to move to #12 and give up their 2nd round pick?

Only four teams were able to trade down and none of them finished the day without a 1st round pick.

Texas went from #2 to #5
Giants went from #34 to #25 (they already had #3)
Falcons went from #46 to #26 (they already had # 15)
Eagles went from #32 to #31

The only team we know that was interested in #12 was Houston, who has #34. We don’t know what they offered for the Cowboys to drop out of the first round altogether.

These things take two sides to work. I wish it didn’t.

You don’t know what offers they got. You only have Jerry’s word for it. Jerry does not have to sit there and wait for a call. He could have made some calls himself

 

[phildadon86]

Golden, or a trade down for Hampton.

Dak needs guys that get open quickly. Not more time in the pocket to see that no one is open and CeeDee is covered.

What I really wanted was to build up this defense. Build the team around parsons. Get some DTs in here who can actually rush the passer, stop the run so the LBs on this team aren’t fighting blocks constantly.

I like booker as a player. He wasn’t a need. 3-4 picks on the OL in 4 years?

Come on man you can’t be happy about this pick.

 

[TwentyOne]

Love the pick.. we finally doing something to fix the run game

Good news.

I have hoped this FO is at least able to draft a football player and not some ice Hockey guy. But with these idiots you are never safe.

 

[Davidlee1973]

We have no chance if we can't protect the QB or run the rock. Football 101. Go back , watch the playoffs last year and the SB. Ask the Chiefs if I'm right.

Only problem is we don’t have a running back and dak is washed

Sanders.

If Cooper Rush can have a better record than Dak last year then almost anyone can.

Nailed it

And they will be preaching for lord Jerry to draft more O-Linemen next year.

It’s a loser fanbase.

 

[Rayman70]

Wrong. Williams is being slept on. Dak isn't washed but isn't great either, nor does he need to be. We just need him to stay within the confines of what we ask if him. That's why we are seeing a run first scheme being built. It only helps Dak be better.

We have a one legged QB and jags at RB ........ the Chiefs (with all their faults) would annihilate this team.

 

[Rayman70]

Nailed it

In a perfect world, I agree. But reality is the draft is unpredictable and you take players based on your board, and we did that because we were convicted of the player. Can we just be happy? Jeesh.

Not done yet my friend. Let's see what else we do.

 

[conner01]

McMillan was my personal hope but once he was gone, I was off WR because I’m not a big fan of Golden.

I’m not either at 12. I like booker but not at 12

jerry's nextel flip phone may not have been dialing out last night.
