David Arkin OG

[This is Our Year]

Trent Dilfer raving about the pick, saying this guy was a major sleeper of his and that he'll he a VERY good lineman.

 

[Lodeus]

He looks good on film from what ESPN just showed. Nobody's even heard of this guy and people hate the pick. I don't get it.

 

[jblaze2004]

Goose ranked him 100th.

yesssssssssssssss

 

[theogt]

Don't they say this about every kid coming out of college?

Yes, yes, they do.

 

[StanleySpadowski]

Finally a great pick. Quality player.

Hopefully this is '08 redux and Dallas can make up for wasted early rounds with some players like Choice and Scandrick later on.

 

[Primetime42]

I'm confident in saying with in 3 years this kid will be starting at OG and fans will fall in love with his nasty lunch pail attitude.

Go ahead and hate now but your going to love the attitude he brings to the game.

I have to agree.

Can't wait to see what Woicik can do with him.

You and I both but it's never going to change.

 

[RS12]

Trent dilfer says that he will be a big time star at guard! He said that he's one of the best lineman in the draft a small school special..... Wow

I'll settle for a productive career.

 

[Doomsday]

I like this pick, they have to get more athletic at offensive line. Plus it looks like he has a bit of a mean streak, gotta love that.

 

[baj1dallas]

Goodbye Davis? The replacement draft continues.

I don't know about that but it definitely sounds like he'd have a chance to make the team, which would be a start.

 

[alsmith]

Goodby Brewster...

Quite the change from freshman year to the combine:

You don't like T. Smith?

Odd.

 

[jazzcat22]

I know Arkin was one of those "small school wonders" everyone gets excited about but otherwise know next to nothing about him.

Anyone?

Larry Allen...sanoma state...who heard of him before Dallas selected him.

Not saying he's the next LA, but you never know.

I think people don't like that they didn't take a guard already. I like that they got a guy that plays hard and has pretty good physical ability, which is a good combo for development.

At 6-4, 300 pounds, Arkin has good size. He was first team All-Missouri Valley Conference two consecutive seasons and started 44 games in his career. Arkin participated in the East-West Shrine Game, so teams had an opportunity to evaluate him against players from larger programs there.

 

[VACowboy]

This doesn't feel like a "special teams" draft to me at all. The Cowboys are drafting productive, athletic football players with upside. I LOVE drafting athletic offensive linemen. Bet that's all Garrett.

 

[NinePointOh]

Quite the change from freshman year to the combine:

Yeah, all the hair fell from the top of his head to the bottom. Must be one of those Wooly Willy toys.

Don't enable

Wasted....lol.

Yeah, wasted when we have two middle lbs who are set to start collecting their pensions and we had a huge liablity at nickle Lb last year. This guy is hugely talented and is one of the better cover lb's in the draft. WASTED!

Murray....WASTED. Barber is going to be cut and our qb got his shoulder broke last year because of a missed block by a rb. We add a VERY talented rb who is the best pass blocking rb in the draft and the best pass catching rb in the draft. Yup, wasted. Not to mention this kid is as explosive as Felix is, now we won't have the huge drop off from felix to barber that we have had and we will be less predictable. WASTED.
