Daron Bland appreciation thread

[RonnieT24]

Everson Walls was an UNDRAFTED ROOKIE in 1981, he led the NFL in INTs and was named to his first Pro Bowl that season.

Also, Walls WAS NOT part of the Dallas ‘Dirty Dozen’ - as that draft occured in 1975 and included Randy White, Hollywood Henderson and Too Tall Jones among others.

Uh no.. Too Tall was not part of that '75 draft either.. He was drafted the year before ..

The Homie from the 209 Northern Cali....Mo-Town
I saw him Grinding in Oxnard with #30 at 1st and said "damn Brown is going to be Scrappy this season" but after I realized & was like damn this kid is going to be special!

Good Draft class so far.

Yes, but they need to add another talented CB.

In theory Bland outside and Lewis inside but they must have another option outside. If not, they must upgrade the range of the Safeties and replace LB Barr with a LB with more range.

100%. You can’t assume Lewis will be there the following season either, so you need depth starting next year. Hopefully Nashon improves too

The Cowboys DID draft an Ed Jones in 1975 - just not THE Ed ‘Too Tall’ Jones. My bad.

You’re probably not old enough to have seen Everson
Walls play. Had 11 picks as a rookie (was a part of the “dirty dozen” rookie class).
Having said that, I’m very excited about Bland’s future!

You are correct about Walls, but he was not part of the Dirty Dozen draft class, that was 1975.
