Cowboys did not have 1st round grade on Taco

[Clarkson]

Is it seriously a huge deal to people that passed on a CB we liked better for a pass rusher? Drafting BPA is almost always a myth. It's a combo of need and BPA most of the time. We needed a pass rusher. I liked Watt, but then again they've studied these guys more (not that watt can't end up better, of course). Let's see what happens and what corner they get.

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.

If you have 20 guy with first rnd grades then you just don't pass on everyone after those 20 are gone

 

[conner01]

Like who?

I'm willing to bet the cowboys had a couple of db's with higher grades

 

[tyke1doe]

See, now this pisses me off.

If you aren't taking a 1st Rd player over a 2nd Rd player, wth are you doing with that player on your board?

So much for drafting the BPA.

You could see the war room deflate about two picks before they picked. I can't recall who had just got picked, but they deflated so much that Jerry basically pushed through the crowd to get off camera hah

Taco. Not happy

That would be Takkarist McKinley.

 

[Manwiththeplan]

You know he is joking right? He hates King as a prospect.

Some people just don't pay attention, had we taken a CB, Risen would have been completely insufferable...I would say more insufferable, but I don't think that's a thing

[waving monkey]

expected rueage ; not impressed

 

[Deep_Freeze]

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

Yeah we do cause we really didnt do much in free agency, so we can't go BPA this year.

The need is there, but we act like we are Babe Ruth and can call our shot.

 

[fishspill]

That's the truth. Just look at Ezekiel Elliott last year. As great as a prospect as he was, there was a ton of people here that said it was just stupid. Hell, even as great of a rookie as he was, there are still people here now that call it a bad pick.

If anyone wants a consolidated grade for a draft pick... this definitely isn't the place to be. We're all over the place on every pick. Even the 7th rounders sometimes.

A person can get that 20/20 hindsight. Look at last season. If Dallas goes Ramsey and later picks up Howard then it would be within reason for them to suspect nearly equal results as last year without the corner void we have presently.

The trick is they'd have had to be on Howard and picked him at the right time. As far fetched as last year's crop was it'd have been just a bit more unrealistic.

Always go BPA, always.

I understand your thought. I kinda wished we act like the Patriots and didn't say a d**n thing about anything. But then I guess we as fans wouldn't be happy with that.

When we win five Super Bowls and play in seven in a span of 16 years, maybe we'll reach that level. Just saying.

 

[PhillyCowboysFan]

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?

Yes those same ones. But at least they have all the data, resources and expertise to come up with a well educated decision based on that.

With all that said there isn't a magic formula to tell if their skills translates to the NFL. But I'll take their opinions over YouTube, the zone posters and couch GM's any and everytime.

If you had to bet your life on getting it right, I guess you will trust the youtubers.

But it's America and we're human and have our own opinions and I respect that.

 

[aikemirv]

This confirms a drafting of need. Lets hope it works for ONcE.

I disagree that it confirms drafting a need. What it confirms is that we need 2 positions badly (DE and CB) and the combination of DE 1st and CB 2nd creates a better team than CB 1st and DE 2nd. Pretty simple logic to me

The biggest losers can still carry themselves like winners.

Just saying!

 

[aikemirv]

That would be Takkarist McKinley.

If so, I for one am happy he got taken. He was ridiculous!

Yep. Looks to me like they were banking on Takk, then the Falcons traded up to beat us to the punch.
