Hahaha it's so true. They love telegraphing their picks.

It's fun for us fans, but when other teams snipe your guys a pick or two before you. Then it's not funny anymore.

What are you guys talking about?

Telegraph their picks? Holy hell. Hours before the draft the media in this town was claiming signals from the FO were they wanted a CB at 28.

You guys are literally making things up to justify your outrage.

CowboysZone ULTIMATE Fan
Sanders had 1400 return yards in his college career
King 0

Sanders had 14 interceptions w/3 pick six in his college career
King 6 int, no TDs

Sanders ran a 4.27 40 time
Kevin King did not

But sure bro...King is next Deion

He was fabricating to create a "dust-up".

I have confidence the FO made the right decision. That's why they get paid the big bucks.

Welcome to the Cowboys, Taco!

Why do you have to open your mouth and tell everyone who your going to draft....that's why the Falcons jumped ahead of us today.

Someone needs to tell him and Jerry to shut up. Its like playing poker while showing your hand. Now someone might jump us tomorrow for a CB, cause they know exactly what we will

Bro say it or not, everyone and their grandmothers know that we now have to pick a CB.

Let's not pretend like they aren't very transparent with their pre-draft visits.

I had them going EDGE in the first all the way. Stephen said they loved the depth at DE and CB this year. Yet, their pre-draft visits were really top heavy at DE. On the other hand, they met with CB's all throughout Day 1, 2, and 3.

Oh, and I'm not "outraged." I love the strategy. Been pleading for us to go pass rusher first, then CB for the past few weeks.

18 first round grades....Pick 28....you do the math
I have no problem at 28 taking a player with a second rnd grade but I do think there were db's that are much better prospects. I get if there is a better RB or te prospect but it's not like we can't use a db
He may be a good player but purely as a prospect I think we passed on better players at positions of need

then why not move down, get an extra pick and still get Taco........tunnel vision in the war room apparently
Maybe it was a miscommunication. Jerry was hungry and said "get me a taco".......bam! Next thing you know, we're submitting our card for Taco.
Jerry is probably sitting there thinking, "Dang it! I knew I should asked for pizza".

You can't agree with the FO around here. Trusting professionals that actually have all the experience and info needed to make a very educated decision is frowned upon by all the internet GM's.

Sure you can. I just did.

Go Cowboys!

While I despise the pick, it's really hard to argue with the Cowboys, they haven't managed to screw up a first rounder in a long time.

Every team pretty much has their pre draft visits reported. Further the Cowboys had more defensive backs than DEs on their 30 visit list.

Same people that drafted manziel \?? Same ones that didnt draft Dak in round 1 or 2 ??
Same ones that thought Romo couldnt play in nfl?

What a ridiculous take. You don't jump values by a full round. Period.
No a ridiculous take is overreacting about this "full round" value crap. Full round is too broad a statement. Do you actually think there is a full round difference in terms of value between Charlton and, for ex. King? I personally don't see it.

yeah only time will tell, have to wait and see what king does, and what taco does.
He was not a bad pick for 28, and they wanted a de, and he was the last of the top ranked ones.

I wanted them to trade up, but since they didnt, or trade down, not a bad pick.

Is friday round 2 and 3??

I think Charlton was a combination of need and "we better get one before all of the top DEs are gone"...they need DB's and pass rush more than anything....they abandoned BPA, IMO...if they took the BPA when we selected, they should have taken Njoku...
