Drafted by Cowboys Cowboys Select C Tyler Biadasz with the 146th Pick (4th Round)

[Rockport]

Quick...drop...the....mike!

This fan could NOT be happier...great job on the yacht+

Thanks for the trade to the bottom of the 4th, Philadelphia.

I bet the Philly board is melting down even more after we plunked them in the first 2 rounds.

Wasnt his 40 historically bad

Center is about brains more than speed or agility
Leverage and strength
Smart enough to make calls and pickup stunts and blitzes

 

[conner01]

There wasn't a lot separating Frederick and Biadasz coming out of college.

To get Biadasz where they did was stunning.

And incredibly good job by the Cowboys brain trust.

The place we got him is amazing
You never know about any of the guys for a few years but looking at this draft based on most anyone’s grades you gotta be excited

 

[conner01]

Think of this for a second......after a redshirt year Biadisz came right in and started as a freshman at center for WISCONSIN. O line factory that it is. Its not like the upper classmen ahead of him were a bunch of bums. Kid will have a similar career to Frederick.

Hopefully
And hopefully longer
But Fred was my pet cat before he came
And I hate it ended so early for him

 

[MichaelWinicki]

I suspect he is day one swing G/C
Unless McGovern can be a center he’s the only option
One thing about wisconsin players is they don’t usually need to add strength

I think the guy is the starter whenever the season starts.

He could be
I don’t think strength will be an issue
Where we got him was a steal either way

 

[darthseinfeld]

So how many OL are on the roster then with him included?

I think we usually keep 10. His draft status pretty much guarantees he is one the roster. Teams very rarely cut 4th round picks

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

He was 1 of the 3 players I wanted in this round. He had hip surgery and is injured. Otherwise he would not have been available in this round. If the TE from Missouri is still there, I want him and let's call this a day.

Hell of a draft.

Let's sign Clowney or Griffen after getting Dak taken care of and lets go make a serious Superbowl run.

Agreed! Clowney or Griffen would be great pickups after the draft.

Tyler Biadasz.

No idea who he is, but we've got more competition for Center.

Remember the last center we drafted out of Wisconsin.

Another Biadasz from Wisconsin. Woohoo!

Such a massive discount on him too. Three year starter at Wisconsin, where they churn out great olinemen. Remington Award winner as the top C. And in the late 4th? That's crazy.

Not as good as Fredbeard, but should be ready to start day one.

Biadasz at C, McGovern at LG.

Williams as our swing G/T and blocking TE. Hope he's practicing his 3 yard routes!

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Can I call him "Badasz??"

By all means

I think the guy is the starter whenever the season starts.

I would say by the end of the season. I don't think he will start.

Don't discount this kid in comparing him to Frederick. There's not a lot that separated the two coming out of college.

The plan at OC is going to be interesting. Mostly what they do with McGovern. Is he going to be competing with Looney and possibly Biadasz at OC, or with Williams at LG.

Its gonna take alot for Biadasz to win that job out of camp.

Badasz has a little bit of a mean streak in him too when on the field. I watch that team under a microscope every year and Ive noticed. I love a good mean streak! LOL

 

[buybuydandavis]

Not really, Dallas had a high second round grade on Frederick and the media reports were mostly 2nd and 3rd round. It became a meme on this site that Frederick was rated very low but it was really only one or two draft writeups - and that kind of variance is true for a lot of players.

Frederick had great power and anchor. This guy is below average there. But he's young enough, and should improve. Should be technically ready to start day one.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

I just watched his 2018 cut up against Nebraska. I’m really impressed with Biadadz; he was pancaking the Nebraska DTs with regularity. I only witnessed two bad snaps in which it looked like he overreached or tripped allowing his man a clear path.

Really impressed.

Where they're drafted isn't necessarily their true ranking.

From the pre-draft evaluations they are much, much closer.

Quincy Carter was a 2nd rounder.

Dak Prescott was a 4th rounder.

 

[Hayseed]

Badasz at center, Mcgovern at left guard, Williams to swing tackle. Thats a mauling physical O line. Solves our swing tackle problem as well. Looney backs up at center and guard. Nice!

Here's what Ourlads has said about the kid...

6 3 1/2"

314

Three-year starter. Has NFL starter written all over him. Has the tools to be an elite center and probable week one contributor. If he can fix some of his technique red flags, there will be very few chinks in his armor. Powerful and stout with a pair of vice grip hands that will lock onto defenders with no release in sight. Has the athletic ability to get out into space as a lead blocker with full control and balance. Intelligent and experienced player who is capable of making line calls and directing traffic. Doesn't always play with proper balance and footwork. Gets top heavy and will over lean with makes him susceptible for double moves. Pass blocking skills are inconsistent. Second/third round. Overall grade of 8.27
