i wonder why they did not trade down with baltimore in 2016. well i did hear stephen want a 3 not a 4 but asides from that. ravens would have taken ramsey but would jacksonville have took zeke i doubt it!

also thankful buffalo, pittsburgh, seattle, green bay and who ever else did not take their offer for them to trade up for paxton lynch!!!!!

Didn't want to risk losing Zeke.

Interesting that the Cowboys almost double dipped at DE with their first 2 picks in the 1998 draft.

Didn't want to risk losing Zeke.

Think about this - if they had traded down, and got Elliott at #6, they would have had more ammo to move back into the first and go after Paxton Lynch.

Yea we missed out on Aaron Donald, but the Vikings and Steelers taking Barr and Shazier before we did was a blessing for us.


Zack was the better player

You can make the case Martin is on par with Donald. He just plays a position that doesn't excite the Joe Fan. If every time he dominated his matchup he ended up sacking the QB or tackling the RB for a 3 yard loss people would view him differently.

Man I could watch stuff like this all day.

Yep. I always thought teams could make some money selling inside the war room coverage. Maybe not live but over the offseason that year.

I'd pay top dollar for that but it's probably too transparent for their liking. They don't want us to know too much. Like your head coach wanted to draft someone other than the player selected, for instance.

2008 felix jones pick still pisses me off. We should have traded back with the ravens in 2016. And watching dry toast garrett still irritates me.

Looking back Buckner would have been the best pick IMO

Tbh not a whole lot separated Felix in 2008 and Pollard in 2019 as prospects

10 likes after you got a mod to Tag this as a "Must"? Are you losing your mojo here at the zone?

I really would've liked to seen the discussion on why the Cowboys passed on Steven Jackson in that draft. I know they got a 1st rd pick in the next draft and ended up taking Julius Jones in the 2nd rd, but Boy I really wanted Jackson and he was sitting right there for us.

I have not watched it yet. So this will be on before the game on Saturday, local TV?
Did they show Stephen ripping the Johnny Manziel card from Jerry's hand?

There were two reasons that did come out.
One was that Bill thought Stephen Jackson was an upright type runner and he did not like that kind of runner.
The other was that some heard that Bill did not like who Steven Jackson's agent was at the time.

Don't know if those are true but that was the rumors after the draft.

I wished they showed the 2011 draft and the debate between JJ Watt and Tyron.


Anyhow, that debate has been settled. Tyron was the right pick…

I think Lynch would've had some success coming to Dallas instead of going to Denver. Playing behind our o-line at the time and young Zeke would've been great for him. Lineahan would've kept the game plan condensed like he did for Dak early on.

Well done once again.
