Twitter: Cowboys draft praised by fellow NFL brain trusts

[DFWJC]

“Dan’s sources praise Cowboys draft haul...”

Cowboyszone’s reaction: “I’ve always liked Dan and his sources....now that’s journalism!”

“Dan’s sources are critical of Dallas...”

Cowboyszone’s reaction: “Who the hell is Dan? And if he’s not naming sources then it’s FAKE NEWS for clicks!!!!”

That is perfect

That’s because CZ isn’t monolithic. Any possible reaction you will find.

Kipper gave us a B so he has been neutered by his draft King!

so to summarize.

some think we did great
some think we did terrible
everyone else falls in between

any questions?

You cannot judge a draft after the draft.
All we and most others know is what we’ve read or heard.
Everything depends on

• The scheme fit and coaching, including how a guy is used
• The player’s physical and mental ability to execute what the coach wants from the position
• The player’s heart and work ethic

Who is Dan?

 

[Verdict]

The theme that I keep seeing, (and my gut reaction is worried that it’s true) is that the three third round picks were essentially shooting blanks, but that the picks in round four were steals.

I love the fact that the round 4 players were viewed as steals. But if we missed on the picks in round three (yet to be determined) what a waste of draft capital.

If Dan's evaluation is based on input from actual NFL scouts, that carries more weight than your average draft pundit.

Feels like those 3rd rounders were drafted for a hybrid mix of 4-3 and 3-4 concepts that Dan Quinn wants to run. Neither guy is a 4-3 prototype in my opinion and Wright was a total Quinn reach pick. He either looks like a genius or a fool on that one.

I like Ball AS A Player. The guy had an excellent pro day. Hopefully he’s a changed man.

 

[CWR]

Way too early obviously but, the make up of this new defense excites me. If one of these long, rangy corners hit to pair with diggs we are a play making safety away from solidifying the secondary

Kazee is a play maker. I just hope he's recovered.

Its all a ploy to keep Jerry in the game. Most of them hate us. Keep complimenting him and bestowing awards on him and he'll never leave.

just like naming Garrett coach of the year. the rest of the league laughs knowing they have won games that haven't even been played yet.

Agree. The only thing we can be sure of is that of the 11, only a few will end up being legit starters and/or stick around. It’s just reality. Who that will be is another question. At least you had more guys this year to throw a dart at.

I like the OO pick after looking at things more closely.

Think he will make a difference in the rotation.

The Iowa guy....I'm failing to see much of an upside to speak of, but if they are looking to keep dudes fresh with a deep rotation, sounds fine to me.

I can't make sense of the Wright pick no matter how I attempt to rationalize things.

At any rate, the numbers up front suggest the entitlement days may be over, and that in itself is a victory.

1/12. Micah Parsons LB Penn St.
2/43. Trevon Moehrig FS TCU (From SF)
3/75. Paulson Adebo CB Stanford
3/84. Tommy Togiai DT Ohio St.
3/99. James Hudson LT Cincinnati
4/115. Joshua Kaindoh DE FSU
4/138. Kenneth Gainwell RB Memphis
5/179. Ben Mason FB Michigan
6/192. Deonte Brown LG Alabama
6/227. To SF
7/238. Khyiris Tonga NT BYU

for me, you can leave all the cowboys picks just shuffle them around & use your 75 & 84 and we aren't having this conversation. It would be a very solid draft. I could name a couple different combinations that would have worked at 75 & 84. FWIW, I do like your 138. I was thinking we might snag one of the RB's to have some insurance in case Zeke doesn't play well or is injured.

 

[fivetwos]

My guess is the Bengals’ and Raiders’ scouts were quite jealous of our ability to pick all character red flags.

Honestly, it seems like an efficient portfolio draft. Tons of risk grouped with some high floor, high character guys in the 3rd, 5th and sixth.

High floor for the 3rd rounders?

Not sure I agree there.

fine with the pick, just not the draft slot.
Yeah, Gholston appears to be comparable to what we already have. Again, not necessarily terrible if he's picked later.

Bingo!
