***Day one Draft thread***

[Sydla]

We are in a time where rumors rule the NFL draft.

Except all these teams saw his knee up close. So it's not like all these teams have never seen Jack and not had their doctors look at him and are just going off a random rumor.

 

[Plankton]

Absolutely not. 34 is a prime position. You don't blow that on a guy you have questions about health wise.

It will be interesting to see what the media digs up about how Dallas feels about him.

It was reported on Twitter (I think by Tony Pauline) that the Cowboys were one of the teams that flagged the issue with Jack's knee at the medical recheck.

You still have Jayson Smith

 

[JBond]

D-Law wasn't screwing up the pick. Lee wasn't screwing up the pick. Gregory might have been, but certainly didn't seem that way at the time. I still don't think Escobar was screwing up the pick (he will be a very good TE once Witten is gone... Witten's just a giant in the way right now). Cowboys history in the 2nd isn't as bad as it's made out to be, any 2nd round guy comes with some degree of risk otherwise they wouldn't be there in the 2nd.

Drugs (broke the rules), a broken guy and a habitual user. Really? They know the rules. I was all in on Lee. How do you sugar coat it in your mind?

Don't go qb tomorrow Dallas don't you dare do it.

I'd be okay with Hackenburg at 67, or Jeff Driskel on Saturday.

Absolutely. Let him sit behind Romo and see what comes of it.

 

[BigStar]

Much cheaper to move from 4 to 1/2 then a mega trade from middle to late in the pack next year.

 

[rpntex]

Okay, he would go in the 1st round teens bc of that deficiency (even then, probably still top 10). You don't get drafted to sack the QB and give him grief bc he isn't "strong against the run" esp @ RE where they don't share that run D responsibility in this scheme? Not like you couldn't coach that up in him; run D, etc considering he is a rookie.

Nope, I didn't say he wasn't strong against the run. I said he was VERY WEAK against the run...huge difference.

Evidently, 31 other teams feel the same way. It's also a lot different taking a pure nickel player in the 2nd round that it would be in the top 10.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

Im not scared this team will take cook or hackenberg @ 34. They realize there's too many impact defenders left. Our front office can't be that stupid lol I hope.

I didn't say take him in the top 10? I said he should be given a shot bc he proved to be maturing and is clearly a good player (Ohio State and Eastern Kentucky) while fitting a huge need @ RE. I have no problem snagging him at 34 or even if we traded into late 1st using a 4th (turns out we didn't so all good for us there).

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

STARTING NOW!

He also dominated in the Senior Bowl, he looked like the best player on the field. I think Spence would be a day one starter at RDE for us.

Hackenberg will be available in the third. Then Jerry can have at it.

NFL Network loves the Zeke pick

 

[TimHortons]

best defensive player available in round 2

There will be some really good options available.

Does Miles Jack have a dodgy knee?

It has gotta be bad to fall out of the 1st round

 

[vlad]

So you're fine with 2 injury prone RBs and another RB in Morris who's a 1 trick pony? They still have more picks to address the defense, and they have a real early pick in the 2nd.

Look, I think he's an amazing player and I'm stoked on the player, and I think he's amazing for Romo. I just think you could have gotten better value for the price. Certainly I'm excited to see the dude kill it, just think we had more pressing needs with an equally talented player at a position of need available.

 

[BigStar]

He also dominated in the Senior Bowl, he looked like the best player on the field. I think Spence would be a day one starter at RDE for us.

He's easily the most talented player left on the board w/o off the field issues that he has since cleared up for over a year. Some young people need a rude awakening before the epiphany of manhood hits them. The steps he took at Eastern Kentucky showed some of those maturity traits (submitting clean samples w/o provocation on a continual basis to NCAA) and has earned the chance to be picked @ 34 (or higher).

 

[Kaiser]

Agree, I was one of them.

 

[BigStar]

Agree, I was one of them.

Ditto Now a successful adult, etc. These kids are still maturing; mentally and physically.

 

[QT]

NFL Network loves the Zeke pick

Is Nate Burleson a Cowboy fan? He keeps saying us. I also remember him saying on the show, everyone wants to be a Cowboy. I think he lost his voice when we drafted Zeke.

 

[Tabascocat]

The Gnats fans are unhappy. The big apple added another Apple to the orchard
