BPA/Greatest Need at 27; Your Choice

[reddyuta]

Does he fit what we do though?

Johnson can play off. Peters not so much.

I don't want another Mo Claiborne situation again.

If we pick Peters and decided to play him off than i would fire everybody starting from the scouts.

 

[JDSTAR]

Preston Smith.. Not popular, but I think he's better then the credit he's been getting. I also think he goes top 20.

 

[RandyOh]

Kevin Johnson. Peters would bust like Mo if we made him play mostly off man.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Kevin Johnson.

I think he's most "zone" friendly.

 

[reddyuta]

Mo didnt bust because he cant play zone,his body is just not made for the NFL at all.he cant go through a whole game without injuring some body part,plus he is dumb as a rock;quite a combination.

That is true. Bust like Carr would be a better comparison. Good in man mediocre in off man.

 

[Leadbelly]

If DGB hasn't been sandboxed by the team, then he's neck and neck for BPA along with Gordon. I don't think the others are in their class. Maybe Peat is in there but I don't think OT is a serious consideration for us in round 1. I think we'd trade back in that case.

I go DGB because I think he's a match up nightmare and adds a whole other level to our offense. Gordon's interior running concerns me and there are a half a dozen RBs that I'd be fine with on day 2. Even if we didn't pick a RB at all, I think we'll get production out of what we have.

Look what we have done with Claiborne.

 

[Alexander]

Then you should have fired the entire staff that inherited Carr and Claiborne and thought the Tampa 2 was a great fit.

 

[Alexander]

That is true. Bust like Carr would be a better comparison. Good in man mediocre in off man.

I do not think Carr is even that good in man. It is not like we played 100% zone and that is why he has struggled.

He is just a #2 corner we ended up paying like a #1.

See this is what I don't get. Instead of going BPA, we go here because he fits our scheme. Whatever happened to tweaking the scheme a little to get the best talent out there?

I think carr can be good if you allow him to be physical but yes he should have never been paid like a star. I'm just happy Philly made the same mistake with maxwell.

 

[Kaiser]

If the scouts and coaches OK drafting Green-Beckham you do it at 27 because he is a top five talent. The personality issues are a huge if obviously but if he checks out his talent is a game changer.

Assuming he doesn't check out (the likely scenario), I go with whichever of the CBs Jones or Johnson that the scouts recommend.

When have the Cowboys coaches EVER adjusted their scheme for the talent on the roster? Never.

I know, but a man can dream right?

Remember the Campo years when you watch a game on TV and when were on defense you couldn't even see the secondary? Great defense!

[Risen Star]

Cross referencing their recent mock drafts and crossing off all the players that Kiper and McShay agree will be gone by #27...here is a list of prospects that one or the other has available to us.

Which players are BPA?
Which players would help the Cowboys most now and into the future, based on losses or contract issues?
Or would you trade down for a player other than these who is not thought to be worth #27 by these two pundits?


Dorial Green-Beckham WR
Melvin Gordon RB
Eric Flowers OT
And runs Peat OT
Byron Jones CB
Jalen Jones CB
Marcus Peters CB
Kevin Johnson CB
Eddie Goldman DT

My first choice is Marcus Peters, so I'd try to trade down with so many CBs still on the board.
My second choice would be Melvin Gordon.
My third choice would be to add Green Beckham to the offense.

I would draft And runs Peat.

 

[Silver Surfer]

I would draft And runs Peat.

All kidding aside, I'm intrigued by the idea of taking a stud right tackle.

I think it'd be fun to watch a Dallas offensive line that tells a defense, "We'll tell you if you should open wide or bend over and grab your ankles, because we're gonna put this football wherever we want to."

 

[dallasdave]

1. Melvin Gordon
2.Dorial Green-Beckham WR
3. Byron Jones

How dumb is a guy who can't keep out of fights with his coaches for 1 month for a few million $$$?
