Twitter: Dak Prescott talks Trevon Diggs

[Hardline]

I wonder if we would have drafted him at 17 if both CD and Chassion were gone,the fact that he has made so many plays on the ball is a refreshing change.

I think we would've traded down and targeted Xavier McKinney.

It's my understanding him and the Clemson CB would of been in the conversion if their board was wiped out.

I like the mentality of a defensive back that thinks he has as much right to the ball as anyone, it falls right into place with a scheme that allows you to play the ball. We got great value with this second round pick and I think we'll be glad he's with us for a long time.

This is exactly what Nolan said when he was hired. He wants QB's to be fearful when throwing to his corners. Diggs is an ideal fit.

I'll never understand how a lot of our draft picks fell as far as they did. I know I've been tough on Jerrah but he aced the draft.

I hope so. I’m really excited. But I also remember a lot of post draft hype. We’ve been convinced of many draft steals that went bust. Peppi Zelner and Rob Petiti say hello.

Be nice if he's good, but I'll wait to see if it's more than just words. Talk is cheap.

Try to contain your enthusiasm.

Busts are part of the deal.

...the QB...

If he goes out and looks like trash, we know it was Dak throwing ducks

But I do feel Diggs will be a good player

Dakota sure does live rent free in your mind. Do you happen to have a shrine built to him in your closet?

Oh BURN!

If this works out it after losing Byron to huge money what a steal indeed!

 

[Williamsboys]

Man if w had just drafted Juan Thornhill and then Diggs in back to back years, our secondary would have no holes.

 

[Runwildboys]

Let's wait and see how he gets on in actual games. The other side of a CB being so aggressive is that they can get badly burned so it's a fine balance. Of course we all want a ball hawk but not at the expense of giving up huge chunk plays.

Which is why I didn't mind Byron's lack of turnovers. His lack of aggression didn't cost a lot of TDs or big plays.

Same for me. It wasn't his natural game here. It was a shame that we didn't have a ball hawk in the secondary (perhaps Diggs) to have taken advantage alongside him.

Dak made him a training camp star.

I was about to say. How is Diggs going to fare playing against QB’s who can actually throw the ball accurately?

 

[KDM256]

If Diggs can stay healthy, he'll be special.. Calling it now, Diggs will have a pick 6 during his rookie year, book it!!

 

[zerofill]

Like T.J. Watt... I would go after those types of players on genetics alone lol.
