Cowboys see Maliek Collins as cornerstone player

[chagus]

Players drafted in the 3rd to 7th round rarely make any kind of impression in their careers..no point in expecting anything out of them.

So if this guy bust who do we blame? I want names up front. JJ, Rod or Mclay...in which order?

I want to know your motivation for needed to know this before training camp has even started.

 

[waving monkey]

Nope, this guy is getting hype up for some reason. This is the offseason Kool Aid.

Hyped up? he was drafted in the third round there was very little chatter about him.
If Marinelli's comment you want to call hype well, thats very interesting take on the word "hype".
Curious need for gloom

 

[Zman5]

From what I've seen, players drafted after the 65th pick rarely turn out to be anything significant.

Yeh. Joe Montana sucked. What a bum he was.

 

[jnday]

When someone says something this stupid, you have to hope it was sarcasm that just didn't click when you read it.

I understand his point. He just overstated it. Other teams my have have more success in those rounds than Dallas, but I think he is accurate pointing out the lack of success of drafting players after early rounds. Those rounds have resulted in wasted picks for the team in the last few years.

Collins cornerstone, mo the next deion, Gregory a steal. Give it a rest Dallas. Let them play first.

 

[Wolf2k5]

Open your eyes.

He's talking about his Madden franchise. All those bums are rated sub 75 overall.

Thank God we live in a world where the NFL is made up entirely of 1st and 2nd rounders. *smh

I mean, why even have rounds 3 - 7?

So that the mutants around here can whine about us never picking any impact/Hall of Fame players in the 7th round, while everyone else is making picks for surefire starters and All-Pros with the 184th overall selection.

Ten most underrated defensive prospects in 2016 NFL Draft

• 
• By Gil Brandt

Maliek Collins, DT, Nebraska: Collins (6-1 7/8, 311, 5.03) is very athletic with speed and strength (25 bench lifts). He has very good ability to get off blocks and make plays. He has long arms. If you want to get a starting nose tackle in the second round, this is your guy.

So he will rotate at both spots (1/3 tech). Our nickel pass rusher @ DT to line up with Crawford. Good pick; can challenge for starting spot @ either position if he proves worthy.

What??

I don't think anyone is putting him in the HOF but showing enthusiasm and support to this young guy.

What the heck is a bench lift?

 

[boysfanindc]

It will never work.

A possible corner stone player? Hey I would have sip the Kool Aid if they said he is an upgrade over Hayden or may contribute in some form this year.

Possible last time I checked does not mean a sure thing. I really do not see the issue, people are excited about a young prospect that is all. If you feel better to down play guys fine that is your feeling and mindset others are just encouraged by the prospect. I don't spend time drinking so called kool aid nor eating sour grapes.

I'm just not in the business or rubbing rookies down with ointment oils. A wise coach once warn about this kind of behavior.

BP said a lot of things, I respect him but do not think he is god. I just do not have any issue with anyone being excited about a prospect. In the end the player is going to have to go out and work hard to make it in this league regardless if people want to down play him or be excited about him.
