Drafted by Cowboys Cowboys select Josh Ball Marshall OT at 138

[phildadon86]

Horrible pick for the 4th round. He is best suited as a 6th round pick, not a costly 4th.

True Free Safeties Jamar Johnson and Caden Sterns are still available, which we have a positional need at, yet these morons select a project O-Tackle valued in the 6th round at best...and take him in the 4th?

Something is seriously not right with this Cowboys Front Office. They have waaaay overdrafted most of their picks so far. Unbelievable.

Dude go cry somewhere else. Tackle was a much higher need than safety and it’s not even close.

Incident happened in 2017...

Dont tell them they will say he has nagging issues because of incidents back in 2017 when he was 18 years old and nothing ever happened afterwards.

Found Risen's alt account!

God, I wish. I’ll never be as wise, or handsome, as Risen.

 

[JIMMYBUFFETT]

The battle during rookie mini camp between Parsons and Ball could be disturbing.

Cox and Ball. What a third day!!

Post of the day! Stop the voting right now!

I used their search function. Neither "Marshall" nor "Ball" got a hit. Shove it, champ.

Question:

How does a woman accuse a guy of “multiple dating violence”?

He was violent with her on a date and then continued to date him while he continued to be violent?

Something doesn’t seem right here.

 

[CWR]

Awesome, we are crushing it today. Leggo!

I obviously liked some picks Thursday and Friday better than others, but I'm going on record as saying I don't like this one at all.

Even if he was a nice guy, which seems in serious doubt, he's not a 4th round prospect by any measure I've found so far.

I can find 1 video of him playing and the feet look really good and he looks plenty athletic for a big man. Everything looks very natural.

These big guys.. So much is determine by their feet, knee bend, and punch. I just wish I had more video but it’s clear he isn’t heavy footed.

It’s hard to find video on these guys.

Didn't see any convictions.

Not one to presume the worst.

Right, because women always leave the first time a guy is violent. They never make excuses or rationalize it.

Seriously?

WEll before he pulled a dummy he did start at FSU as a redshirt freshman. His draft profile might look better had he started 4 years there. I'm not sure of the exact difference in coaching and strength training between FSU and Marshall, but I'm sure it is there.

Cox and Ball. What a third day!!

if only their 3rd 'ers were like this .....damn !

 

[blueblood70]

Great. More offense. Until this team invests draft picks in defense they’ll never be legitimate contenders.

huh like you on drugs 6 straight defensive picks..

 

[Whyjerry]

He's an upgrade over Steele and Knight

Exactly. Guy has a chance to be good. Huge frame.

 

[gimmesix]

This guy is a real POS. Terrible pick.

Why do we assume that someone can't turn their life around after three years? If he's had issues since then, then I'm with you.

 

[Malhavoc]

I love the talent but man the DV. Good luck the coaching staff..

 

[Whyjerry]

I love this 4th round as much as I hated that 3rd round. They got 2 guys that will help.

They had been dating for a year, she applied for an injunction for a restraining order, and the school suspended him. The 11 acts of violence happened over their dating period.

The Bad:
11 Counts is a lot, some of these were brutal (locked her in a closet, broke a car key, slapped her, got upset because she went to Disney World while he was in concussion recover, etc. These are what I've read on twitter).

The Less Bad:
Apparently FSU wanted him back and he was willing, but bad press and pressure he decided to switch to Marshall. Lots of testimonial from coaches and staff at Marshall that said he was good and all these was 3-4 years ago.

So very best case, it was all overblown, but doesn't matter, something happened it seems.

I suppose OK case - he had some issues but has since matured.

Worst Case - Ritchie Incognito with less talent.

Back in 2017. Nothing ever reported afterwards. Guy was 18 back than but yeah he probably didnt change and is a thug.
