Charlton is wasted draft pick

[TheMarathonContinues]

When you can’t complain about the Cowboys wasting picks on Jaylon and Gregory anymore you find someone else. Enter Taco Charlton. Do you guys ever take a break from this?

when the deciding choice for your number one draft pick is the number of twitter followers...

He gets his third year like everyone else. Signs don’t look great though.

Taco has another season to prove himself
Some are way too quick to call players a bust
But he does need to get serious and spend some time this off season recommitting himself to football and working on that sack dance

Hated the Charlton pick when we made it. He showed no burst on the highlights I saw. He looked like a poor man’s Greg Ellis. The best we can hope for at this point is a decent to average player. Doesn’t look like a player who will be seeing a second contract with the team.

5 tackles for a 4-3 DE who is a backup. That's pretty good production. Armstrong has had no more than 2 in any game

Anyone know how many snaps taco got

But TJ Watt doesnt fit the system they said.

if this isnt a lesson that you always TAKE THE BEST PLAYER I don't know what is.

absolutely.they draft like that consistently but made an exemption for Charlton and got burned.

46

 

[Verdict]

jury is still out on taco for me, but in my mind, things are trending to the "dead to me" area....as others have stated, we needed a DE, not a LB in a 3-4 scheme (Watt)...so I have no issues with Taco over Watt at the time...even now, Watt is a 3-4 positive player, I don't think he would be in a 4-3 (hard to say)

Taco is a luxury to me, similar to Irving but for different reasons

We could have drafted a developmental DE like Taco who could stop the run in the 3rd or 4th round.

 

[Verdict]

I envision Taco beefing up 10 lbs and moving into a Crawford/Irving type role. Could easily happen with Crawford high cap figure and lack of trust with Irving.

Armstrong would slide in nicely as a 4th DE

Taco could be a Crawford level player which wouldn't be all bad, but Crawford was a 3rd round pick. That's about where Taco should have been drafted.

Taco can eventually justify a draft pick but probably never be worth the first we gave for him.

 

[Verdict]

Charlton is a fine example of drafting for need and not BPA. I would not say he is a bust now. I'll give him one more year.

A reach for need usually results in a swing and a miss or at best, mediocrity.

Not usually. Now go ahead and put your head back in the sand. I'm sure the view from there is far less stressful for you.

Yes. Way too many.

He made Greg Ellis look like Von Miller. You are being far too kind to Taco.

He deserves and hopefully gets the Bobby Carpenter treatment.

Sorry, but he just can't play.

I’m saying he looked like a poor man’s Greg Ellis coming out of college. He hasn’t been even close to a poor man’s Greg Ellis as a pro.

Good post.

I'm not going to bust their balls over drafting Taco...……….no team nails every first round pick

He is an average player with the potential to be above average in time...……..not what you want to hear about your first round pick.

I wish there was a ball busting emotiacon. Can we get one of those, please?
