Draft Day ***Cowboys Draft DAY THREE***

[gimmesix]

Why aren't our fans here more like the ones who attend the draft? A pick is announced and that team's fans cheer like they actually have some idea who the player is.

 

[Teague31]

One pick away from nailing Kolar in the contest. Ugh.

For those of you saying Mel Kiper is the only one saying Ferguson is a bad blocker, he isn't the only one. Did a quick search on him as I hadn't studied him as much as I did others and these popped up.

-Ferguson isn’t quite as appealing as a blocker, but he does have some redeeming qualities there.

-Blocking Skills: He flashed in mobility and skill to get attached to defenders as a blocker, but too often whiffs on securing a clean fit with his hands and is working to simply keep leverage on the defender. Skilled defensive players have had success stacking him with relative ease on films studied, too. That said, I do believe he’s gotten better at the secondary effort on these plays to stay attached, particularly on LBs.

-While he gives effort as a blocker, he wasn't a great fit for what Wisconsin asks of their tight ends in the running game and he's likely to be overmatched if asked to take on defensive ends in the NFL. He is a solid receiver and a below-average blocker with TE2/3 potential.

I’m tossing one of these 5ths at Sam Howell

Might as well at this point.

 

[Hardline]

Lol what are you talking about? He’s 250 pounds and a mediocre (at best) blocker. Why pretend to know what you’re are talking about?

Because he is better than an OK blocker and 250 is big for a TE. Stop subscribing to your Mel Kiper fan magazine.

Didn’t realize that our 1st 5th rounder is fairly early (12 in RD5)

 

[Hoofbite]

Don’t even think! about sacrificing any hard earned 5th round picks in a trade up!

Bob? This is a name I haven’t Seen in some time.

This would be interesting.

I think they are going to sit and pick this draft oddly enough.

Tariq Woolen

 

[Hardline]

A 250 lb lineman?

250 lb TE

 

[manster4ever]

Fast forward to 2 years from now and 1 of these 5th round picks will be hyped up as a legit starter justifying why a more expensive and more talented player is let walk

Law of averages says you are right...one of the four 5th rounders will be a solid starter: good or even great player. Meantime one of the players taken in rounds 1-3 will bust out. Just the way it is in this league. It's a crap shoot, more so than ANY NFL front office exec will admit.

 

[Risen Star]

The draft now belongs to us and as soon as this draft is over free agency does too.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Does Washington have any interior lineman at all?

Maybe they can convert Mathis to Guard

If that's anything close to correct he is a Schultz clone and it was a terrible pick.

But....they want to remain a passing team and feature Prescotts arm.

We will see a lot of the same until that changes and it clearly hasn't.

Yes, we own the last stage of Free Agency...S Jones

Sup buddy? Just been a lurker but sometimes I get the urge to post.

Commanders got him! Good pick for 5th

 

[Risen Star]

Now they have two QBs better than our starter.
