Carter is the pick

[dbair1967]

I'm honestly shocked with this pick. We need help at certain positions and they make a future pick? I'm kinda taken back with this. I'm guessing huff is our new safety lol

Like Mayock said, top-15 talent with the 40th pick.

The draft isnt only about an upcoming season.

This guy is an excellent football player.

 

[jblaze2004]

he will be mlb not a olb in our 3-4....

 

[sportsman]

This a Jimmy Johnson type pick...Speed...

What's not to get? We need help at LB. This is a solid, safe pick and but for his injury last year, a first rounder.

Carter really would have been picked 10-15 spots higher if he wasn't injured.

We just have to trust our scouts did their job in looking at that knee.

 

[dbair1967]

Can he cover or is just an inside run stopper cause James has been that for years now and.......

Tremendous cover LB. Was recruited to be a safety originally I believe.

Excellent range and very good hitter.

IIRC Butch Davis said he was the best LB he has ever coached.

This pick has NOTHING AT ALL to do with Spencer, so I hope this kind of talk doesn't start up.

Carter is NOT a 3-4 OLB. He's a smaller, speed linebacker.

Has to play either WLB in a 4-3 or inside in a 3-4.

He's basically what we wanted Jason Williams to be.[/QUOTE]

bingo . this is a great pick. a rotional guy this year and a full starter along with sean lee in 2012 wow we have great LB's .

Give me rackley or moffit in r3 and im stoked

So basically we are looking for this kid to maybe start in the future? That is fine to me if you are the Patriots, Steelers, Packers, Saints etc...but we are the Cowboys. Can we afford to make a high future type pick like this?

 

[Sarge]

Hell, I'm just glad it wasn't a TE or RB.

:laugh2:

Yeah, he is a fast dude that is for sure!


And, tons of players have had injured knees while young, but continue to come back to play good ball.

 

[burmafrd]

gamble. But if he comes all the way back he is a mid first rd guy. SPENCER better step it up; you will be hearing footsteps behind you

 

[Oh_Canada]

Plenty of love from Mayock and co, I think it's a real good pick. Let's face it Brooking is done and Lee is a little injury prone....value pick who will probably begin to truly contribute half way through the season.

 

[juck]

This dude is a sheer beast and we need ILB help bad.

 

[ethiostar]

Projected as a 15th round pick and the Cowboys got him a 40...

Not bad, not bad at all...

I think that's actually pretty bad. They reached a little too much for this kid if you ask me.

The new strength coach will hook him up...

 

[laythewood28]

Sean Lee and Bruce Carter wreaking havoc for the next 6-10 years. Glad we didn't reach for a safety or defensive lineman.

He can cover but don't expect a hell of a lot of picks from him if that's what your thinking on 3rd and 8 type pass plays etc. He is an excellent short yardage run stopper that will stuff a lot of short 3 and 4 type runs. Saw a bit of him in College and was a sure fire late 1st Rdr had he not been injured.

Don't under estimate his ability to get to the QB either as he is very quick off the line of scrimmage.

I agree. Two outstanding ILB's who can run and play in space.

Like this pick alot.

Everything I read said teams at the combine thought his recovery was coming along smoothly and right on schedule.

Mayock said you might not get any snaps out of him this year, but surely that's not the case. :
