Cowboys considered two QBs in draft

[big dog cowboy]

as two names slipped, they became more of a consideration for Dallas: Shedeur Sanders and Quinn Ewers.

Cowboys dodged 2 bullets.

 

[sunalsorises]

Whatever happened to Paxton Lynch?

 

[starfan1]

Yeah, thats why he fell. He’s cocky…..

He fell because the talent don’t match the headache that very well could accompany him.

He didn’t go to combine and was crappy in interviews. I believe Travis hunter was a bigger part of Colorado success than shaduer

That said he wasn’t 5th round talent he’s better than thatand I don’t think some of the qbs that went before him should have.

Even ward would have been like the 7th qb picked last year. Bad year to be qb hunting

Cowboys dodged 2 bullets.

Yeah but they got hit by hit by shot gun blast last September.

 

[NDGAEDE]

I would've liked to have had either on the depth chart, developing. Milton is a decent prospect too though, so whatever

 

[Rayman70]

Well duh. We knew they were interested in both prior to the draft. Especially Ewers.Thank God neither happened.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

I can’t be the only one that noticed Stephen Jones get pissed on the war room cam , when the Browns traded up for Sanders?

 

[DallasInDC]

Regardless of what you think of Sanders, by the 5th round, does it matter? It's low risk.

I just don't understand the Browns. Why did they draft two QBs?

Probably the same reasons Washington drafted RGIII and Kirk cousins in the same draft...with the hope of being able to trade one of them for more than what they invested in them.

 

[irishline]

What's worse than drafting two QBs is that the Browns now have five QBs on the roster.

Yeah I am not even sure Sanders makes the opening day roster (not saying he doesn't have a chance, but that is a crowded room). Depends upon not only what he shows, but what direction the Browns are going in. You know they are keeping the 3rd round pick, and at least one of Pickett and Flacco.

 

[plymkr]

Hope is always good. But flaming out isn't usually a good sign.

Good point.

 

[plymkr]

And even Booger offered to give him character reference, but said he saw no purpose in drafting him.

Really! Is that confirmed. Not that I’m doubting you but if there a link to that. Reason why I am asking is because that changes how I think about him. If Jerry Jones, the king of attention, king of introducing drama to keep us relevant, king of media coverage and most importantly king of giving players chances when most teams would given up on them. If Jerry has no interest in drafting you, there’s a problem.

I personally thought Jerry would jump on this, purely for the media attention and marketing. This is shocking if it’s true.

It's not low risk though. You'd have the Deion Circus.

IMO, it'll never work for Shedeur as long as Deion is involved. No pro wants to play for a team with a coach that coaches his son as QB and that's what it'd take. Deion is simply living vicariously through Shedeur. Shedeur is too naive to understand it all. His dad is poison.

Shedeur has never played for another coach. I predict he'll get some sort of shot then lose his cool when it doesn't go his way. Wherever he goes, they'll be talk of Deion being the next coach, etc. etc. What coach wants to be looking over his shoulder because of some spoiled brat?

I've been following Shedeur since Jackson State. It's a clown show wherever Deion goes. He really isn't that great of a coach, his assistants are doing the real work.

 

[Loso86]

• How cocky he is
• How his cockiness reflects on his coach-ability (or lack thereof)
• How any action by the team he or his father disagree with could turn into a high visibility drama on social media and the talking heads
• How the head coach of the team (and the team itself) drafting him would be dealing with constant speculation of hiring Deion to replace him.
  How he's better than most other QB's in this draft, but not considered a blue chip.

That's why teams didn't draft him earlier.

The Browns sent a clear message that he is not going to walk in and be handed the team by already drafting a QB and waiting until the fifth. Who knows if he will get the message.

Those are all facts based off of what...speculation?

 

[America's Cowboy]

(Click speaker icon ^^^ in video to hear sound.)

Baker Mayfield was just as cocky (maybe more), yet he got drafted #1 overall.

There is an obvious double standard throughout the NFL ownership, teams and coaches.

 

[Loso86]

Yeah, thats why he fell. He’s cocky…..

Explain why he didn't get drafted over much worse QBs....big guy?

 

[Loso86]

Based off of 1 year, always the fans who probably never played that's quick to call a guy a bust

Joe Milton is just another Ole Miss bust Dallas has brought in or drafted.

 

[Loso86]

Oh BTW ole miss!!....? Lol says alot

Joe Milton is just another Ole Miss bust Dallas has brought in or drafted.

 

[Loso86]

What else then

Oh yeah. The whole quarterback starved league passed on him JUST because he is cocky. Nothing else.

, cause he's way better than alot of the guys before him? Everybody is laughing at the comment but not explaining why YOU think he wasn't drafted earlier. Especially when alot of teams said they didn't like the way he interviewed so arrogantly!?

Ridiculous.

Yes, Deion's assistants do a lot of work, but so does Deion.

If anyone has a problem with Deion is because they either are jealous of his professional career accomplishments or they see him as a threat to their own profession as a coach in terms of knowledge. Ex-football bench warmers feel threatened by the real stud ex-player now coaching in their professional field.

Yes, it's confirmed. It's in his second day presser. Or when he answered questions afterwards. Just Google something like, Jerry Jones thought on why Shedur Sanders fall in the draft

And if you pay attention there are several reports out that claim judging by the reaction in the Cleveland war room the Sanders pick was Haslam's call. Neither Stefanoski nor the GM looked particularly happy. It also says Stefanoski prefers Dillon since he fits their style offense..

When the boss speaks......
