Cowboys 1st round picks over the last 10 years

[Hawkeye0202]

Name a player here who was NOT expected to start day one other than Taco. In other words, they draft 1st round players with the expectation they will start on day one. We do not have returning starts at TE, RB, CB or LG. Just me, but I'm 100% confident we will fill one of these positions with 26.

A RB because Pollard is not a starting full time RB or the answer at RB to take us to the SB. But can get a RB in the 2nd or 3rd round to compliment Pollard.

An OL, because that really needs to be addressed to protect Dak as well create lanes for the RB's. Trenches need fixed for now and the future.

A TE, because do they really want to rely upon 2 - 2nd year players, but will a rookie be any better to start? One can be drafted later as well.

CB, not so sure this needs to be addressed in the 1st round. Gilmore is a 1 year stop gap, and need to see what Bland has. Does the light go on for Joseph.

Need an impact player though in the 1st that can contribute right away. I think they can pretty much elect any position that can do that. Other than CB or S, as how much playing time will he really get.
1st round anyway. 2nd round possibly as well.

Taco Charleton and Trystan Hill were both Marinellis picks.

So glad that bum is gone

Only one dud in the bunch the last 10 years not bad! You have one lock for the Hall of Fame and another who will be in Canton if he stays healthy. I would take that the next 10 years.

Brown is gone. Gilmore on a 1 year deal. Diggs is on his final year (hopefully he gets extended).

But we could go into next year with questions at both outside corners.

We tend to be jinxed with the later first round picks. Granted no one could have predicted Fredrick's illness but the end result was the same. Hopefully Lamb and Smith are the start of a new trend. If a TE is the lowest risk pick at 26 that actually might still be on the team after six seasons I'm fine with that. If he can block and catch it would help the offense in two ways. I get that next year's pick usually gets downgraded by a round but you could call Cooper a first round pick.

 

[RD21]

Best OL, or TE available.

 

[ChronicCowboy]

8 really good picks and 1 of the worst picks they’ve ever made.

You can argue the Byron and Zeke picks as they both had limited production in terms of years but I think they were still the best picks for us at the time.

1st round this year is either Bijan, a TE or a trade down imho.

 

[Montanalo]

One (possibly flawed) way of looking at 8 out of 9 first round picks being immediate starters is that that the Cowboys are drafting for need vs BPA.

Obviously, you would expect your first rounders to be starters, but i am not sure first year starter is the best comparison.

A more impactful analysis is that all but Taco (I still can't get that end zone taco-making celebration out of my head) and Smith (so far) made the Pro Bowl and several are/were All Pros

All Great picks, that Taco pick, don't know what happened there...

Just look at that list. Take out Taco, Jones, and LVE who basically were a disappointment and who was the next worst pick. And all of them besides those players were all quality players. The 4th worst one was Zeke. Simply because of his position. And Zeke was great the first 4 years. Just doenst pay to draft a back high.

Why couldnt Pollard get us to a SB? Just because you need a 2nd back to take some carries?

Was Zeke the kind of back that could take us to a SB? A slow plodding back?

Care to explain your comment?

I'm not only expecting a day one starter at 26, I am at 58 also.

Cowboy gonna keep crushing this draft thing.

I dont know that pollard cant but id be inclined to take one because you get a quality talent for 5 years if its in the 1st round. Pollard most likely gone next year. OL is a neccesity as is the DT position. TE can be grabbed in round 3 or later its deep. Im torn on CB I think were going to have to address it this year or next as gimore is just a stop gap.

dude give it a rest Zeke is gone. Pollard can take us to a SB but hes gone next year most likely and were going to need to adress it and Bijan is there hes a talent worth taking and you get 5 years of quality running back position

LOL...........give it a rest? This is the same guy that was hailing Zeke as the best back in the NFL just last year and constantly insulting Pollard. Trust me he does it 100% on purpose to bait me. He knows if he cuts up Pollard I will defend him. And look he made an entire thread about it. LOL

When he admits he was dead wrong about Zeke and Pollard and stops cutting up Pollard, I will stop bringing up Zeke.

On another note, we definitely need another back. Whether we had Bijon we would need another back. Having one back doesnt work anymore. In may ways.

And there you go. Thinking it is all about you.
Get over it Already. And stop making things up of what I said. We been over this before.

I dont make anything up about what you said. I even quote you when you forget.

Care to explain your viewpoint about Pollard? Why isn't he a back you can win a championship with? You cant win a championship with a pro bowl back that averages 6 ypc and gets 12 TD's? My god the guy would have had another 8 if Zeke didnt vulture the 1 yarders.

The Chiefs just won a championship with less.

I said Pollard can’t, as most will agree, he is not an every down RB. He needs another RB to help
If that clarifies it.

Any CB taken this year is for future considerations. Unless he is so good he beats out Gilmore. But I don’t think that is the plan.
Yes, OG or DT biggest concerns.

But the TE must be able to block.

So the fact that Pollard needs another back means you cant win a championship with him?

Thats about as bad a take as I have heard. Care to explain your stance?

What team in the NFL has 1 RB on their team? What an odd statement.
