2019 Draft getting butchered.

2 59 Trysten Hill DT Central Florida
3 90 Connor McGovern OG Penn St
4 128 Tony Pollard RB Memphis
5 158 Michael Jackson CB Miami (FL)
5 165 Joe Jackson DE Miami (FL)
6 213 Donovan Wilson S Texas A&M
7 218 Mike Weber RB Ohio State
7 241 Jalen Jelks DE Oregon

The positive news on Hill is a much bigger deal than downroster guys like the Jacksons getting cut.

Cooper was the 1st round pick. Pollard was a hit in the 4th. Hard to know about McGovern, but I liked the pick. That's already a pretty good draft. If Hill is strong in rotation, we did well.

And I think Jackson getting cut is more a testment to our depth at DE than Jackson being a bum. Signed Griffen, hit on Aldon, Anae is looking like a hit, and Jerry is even making noise about Gregory. DE is crowded. No shame to Jackson to be bumped off by those guys.

Only thing that worries me about letting go of Jackson is all the new DE talent is here on one year deals.

 

[Rockport]

Joe Jackson.....yikes......they just really mess up those mid round DE selections.....

They don't but that shouldn't be a excuse. You should be getting one every once in awhile to pan out.

Come on man, they’ve been freakin excellent in the drafts of late.

Well they could release Griffin, Lawerence or Smith. What you say? SMH

That was sarcasm numb nuts.

Heard there was some talks about Gerald Everett. But IDK if the Cowboys would go that route.

Two 5th rounders and two 7th rounders is getting ‘butchered’ in your opinion? Not even close.

 

[Mr_437]

I believe Jackson will get claimed by another team.

Raiders or Giants

On his way out the door Joe was heard to say......" There's somethin going wrong around here"...

Did he beat up some kids too...

That's fairly typical. You have four make it out of eight and you're doing decent. If a couple end up as starters, then it's pretty much on average, but that's usually with a first-round pick. If one ends up a star, that's excellent. If more than one, that's extraordinary.

I’d say as fans we’re still a bit spoiled from the 2016 haul of Zeke, Dak, Jaylon, Collins and Brown.

 

[Dak_Attack_09]

I think maybe the Portland st. kid..the TE may be kept and put on the PS.

I want him to start over Hikutini.

Don't you mean "as he was steppin out the door"?

oh it was right there, man!

 

[Creeper]

I thought Joe Jackson showed some promise but he was cut for the best reason. They are loaded at the DE position now and they just don't need him. Had Aldon Smith not worked out, Jackson would probably stick.

 

[HungryLion]

Joe Jackson.....yikes......they just really mess up those mid round DE selections.....

I can’t really give them too much grief. Chances of a 5th round DE actually being any good are like in the single digits % wise.

 

[OmerV]

Little bit surprised about Hikutini. He's a good prospect.

I think so too, but they weren’t likely to keep 4 TEs on the active roster, so this may just be a precursor to putting him on the practice squad.

Charlie Tempura is better, since he can actually play FB and catch like a WR.

I checked the Cowboy website and don’t see Charlie Tempura on the roster.

He was cut a few days ago.
