DaRon Bland best Cowboys 5th round draft pick ever?

[VaqueroTD]

Great rookie year. Sophomore year tied for most Pick 6s in an NFL season. Leads NFL in INTs for 2022-2023 seasons. And still 7 games left! Unbelievable.

Was looking at the draft archives. Thought Jimmy might have drafted someone in the 5th that stood out this much, but no.

Have to go back to 1985 when the Cowboys picked Herschel Walker to find a similar steal, and that really wasn’t a typical draft pick. 1968 Blaine Nye, 1966 Walt Garrison

What a freaking find!
Almost not fair that Diggs is hurt. Best young corner duo in NFL if Diggs can play back to his pre-injury levels. Diggs, Bland and Gilmore. Wow.

 

[Tangle_Foot]

As the Young folks say. He Him.
Just so glad he's a cowboy.

 

[Hardline]

I had a gut feeling about him when he was drafted.

Bland had an amazing game today

 

[805BoysInBlue]

Yes! Off the top of my head I can't think of one in recent history! California boy too!

 

[slick325]

Don't know, but the kid can play! All-Pro in 2nd year...not too bad.

 

[Proof]

what an awesome find. richard sherman-esque

 

[BigBlacKahuna]

He is HIM!

 

[ghst187]

Anything BUT Bland!

 

[stiletto]

Never thought he'd make us kind of forget about Diggs. Can't wait until they are BOTH healthy next year.

He's had an amazing couple of seasons!

Who possibly envisioned that he would take over Diggs' spot, and absolutely master it so quickly?

 

[jblaze2004]

Dude has made loosing Trevon Diggs sting less. Imagine Diggs and Bland both manning the outside CB spots next year. He is having a all pro year.

Better by a lot.

 

[gmb1]

Could he get DPOY breaking the pick 6 record?

 

[irishline]

We drafted Herschel Walker in the 5th round and we know what his career meant to the Cowboys, so...

Craig Morton wasn't too shabby either.

 

[Cydios]

I just find it laughable that some didn't want to give him a chance. So much "oh man and now we sucky Bland taking his place? Season over"

 

[Dorsett33]

He's better than a lot of the 1-5 draft picks as well...let alone the 5th pick

 

[Scotman]

I had a gut feeling about him when he was drafted.

I honestly didn't. I was disappointed. I just didn't see it.

I'll take 4 pick 6 servings of crow to go.
