Good. Glad we got our guy instead of trying to get cute and getting some extra 4th rounder or something

It's amazing when Dallas picks a player they are reaching. But when other teams try to trade up for the same player they are geniuses.

I suggest taking these reports from unknown "sources" with a huge grain of salt.

Kansas City wouldn't have told Dallas who they were trading up to draft, and they wouldn't have told a reporter.

Draft season, including the PR all the teams do surrounding it...is lying season.

In his last mock, Brugler had the Saints taking Mazi at 29, saying their priority was to stuff the run. Sounds like there was a real chance he was going to get drafted in the 1st.

Great job in back-to-back years the Cowboys refuse to trade down but instead take their stud player which other teams later admit wanted to trade up for.

The only disappointment ,for me, was that Jerry wasnt riled up enough to show us the Board.

That’s what they do though. When the Eagles and Cowboys traded each other they knew the Eagles did not want Micah. You have to know otherwise why would you trade and miss out on your guy?

Depends how good Kyle's source is. It's possible if he knows someone who is in KC's war room, which could range from front office execs to social media staff. But yeah, we'll never know for sure unless someone from either team confirms..

KC called Dallas after the pick was made and told them that was who they were going to take

Definitely, and I'm glad he's on our team now.

Most of the analysts had him as a second round pick. SI quoted a Cowboys source really happy with the pick, but also said he would be a steal with Dallas’s second round pick in the 50s.

But nobody considered it a reach.

Classic disinformation campaign. Admit nothing, deny everything, make counter accusations.

Dallas was generating most of their pressure last year, not from blitzing but stunts. Considering his speed, this may have also been a factor in the pick. His athleticism is off the charts and he has the speed for it.

Kyle said Kansas phone back and said Mazi was who they were going to take so assuming it wasn’t BS, it was pretty clearly someone in the Dallas War Room giving him the information.

This is not true. If you go back to the Roy Williams draft, there was a war room scene (not live) where Jerry was on the phone with the Cheifs trading up to their spot and Jerry directly asked them if they were trying to select "their guy", and the Cheifs told them no. Jerry approved the trade at that point.

Well ok, but what about the Saints 'team mocks' and Brugler's last mock.... there were alot of links to Mazi to NO.

Teams often tell each other who they want.
Thats how you build a strong trade bond.
KC and Vegas are AFC teams that would definitely be open to working with Dallas.
NFL smoke screening works far more on fans than rival teams.

Nick Eatman knew Dallas pick quite early and noted people would say it is a reach.

it's funny. nobody wanted a TE, but everybody feels like BUF "stole" Kincaid from us lol. wild
