Draft Day ***Cowboys Draft DAY ONE***

[Buzzbait]

Lloyd
Dean
Karlaftis
Johnson
Linderbaum

And we select that bum, a fat bow legged Forrest Gump holding son if a turd

I'd like to have seen Jermaine Johnson or Linderbaum! But Smith???

 

[john van brocklin]

I don't hate this pick, I hate who they left out there. Smith as a guard won't be a bad thing at all but leaving Jermaine Johnson, Tyler Linderbaum, Nakobe Dean, and Devin Lloyd out there is a head scratcher.

I don't think Tyler Smith would be there at 56 but he's not a value at 24. Just....weird.

Wow!!

 

[terra]

You kidding? This board was up in arms over Fredericks.

No it was not; some thought we reached but the intelligent people knew he was going to be good

 

[Vegas_Cowboy]

Jets must not've recieved the memo that something is wrong with Johnson.

 

[conner01]

But man, 6’5” 320. Dude is a physical marvel.

Lots of physical marvels watch nfl games every sunday

 

[texbumthelife]

Trade up for Nakobe Dean! Let’s go.

 

[TheHerd]

Willie McClay. He has a pretty good track record, especially in the first round.

Last four - Micah, CD, LVE, Taco. Not really great.

 

[manster4ever]

Yall remember when Travis Frederick should of been a 4th rounder by most on this board.

horrible post and take....Frederick was a BRUISER at Wisconsin and was well regarded by scouts and football people. This kid? Not so much.

 

[SlammedZero]

Going to be tough getting hyped for the start of this season.

 

[mardwin]

Holy schlitz the #Jets came out of the first round with Sauce, Garrett Wilson and Jermaine Johnson.

Both Bengals and Browns are trending up ahead of Dallas. Just waiting for the Jets, Lions and Commanders to do the same.

Tyler Smith OL/OG Tulsa

STRENGTHS
Tyler looks like an athletic offensive guard, player offensive tackle. He has good size and strength and is a powerful offensive lineman. He shows just enough lateral agility and quickness to be moved inside as a guard. Tyler is quick out of his stance and excellent at going out to the second level making his blocks. He has the athleticism to be used as a pulling offensive lineman and on sweeps and screens. Tyler has excellent athletic talent to play more than one position on the offensive line for the team that selects him but as I always say, it takes more than talent to play in the NFL.

CONCERNS
Tyler when playing tackle has never known a penalty that he didn’t want to commit. After being a starting offensive lineman for his college team his techniques are so poor it makes my headache. This sends a signal to me that Tyler is not very coachable and struggles with authority figures. It also sends a signal to me that most authority figures in his football life have enabled this attitude because of his athletic talent. To minimize these issues, I think you have to move him inside.

BOTTOM LINE: 2.67
I love his potential at guard. I love the fact that a very smart center who he can have respect for, will help him to mature. I love his power to run block and his athleticism to pass block. But I don’t love using him as a tackle and I think that using him as a tackle will be his downfall. After he is in the NFL for 4 or 5 years, a team might ask him to move to tackle in a pinch, but he should be a hell of a guard. I believe that Tyler can be a pro bowl guard and one of the best in the NFL.

Can we get a do over
? Lol

 

[ShortRound]

We left Linderbaum?

 

[erod]

Brown is a FA after this year. He wants 25 million. LOL. In that scenario his value should be depressed.

They already signed him. But they get him for the whole contract , and he's younger.

 

[Aven8]

Johnson looks like if Dak and the Rock had a baby together!

 

[Floatyworm]

We should've traded down and drafted this kid later on.

The league has completely cut themselves off from these clowns. Want nothing to do with them. I'd say it's collusion.....but can you blame them?

 

[phildadon86]

Jerry watching all these other teams make trades as he sips his Johnny walker. I’m so sick of this. I’ve never been this down on this team after an off-season before. It’s incredible how little this FO seems to care

 

[JPM]

lol we are a joke

Depends Taco, if he sucks like you then it’s a Stephen pick.

Excessive penalties, poor discipline? Sounds like he’ll fit right in!

 

[Carson]

What’s sickening is he was going to be the pick regardless.

Tons of talent fell into their laps. They however, had already picked Smith before the day even began.

 

[baltcowboy]

U trust this OL coach to develop him? Everyone on the line outside of Zack has regressed

Steele has developed into a serviceable tackle. Zack and Tyron are getting old. I bet within two seasons Tyler will be our best linemen. That may not be a good thing. Next season could be a disaster.
