***Day Two Draft Thread***

[JD_KaPow]

I like it. At worst he will be very good. Maybe great

At worst he'll never play. At best he'll be in the HOF. Not necessarily against the pick, but let's not underestimate the risk.

The QB without NFL talent in the 3rd will be the cherry on the crap sundae that is this draft.

 

[Hawkeye19]

Our doctor performed the surgery. Nobody should know the medicals better than us. I know the theme will be negative with no instant impact but this could be a grand larceny type steal if he gets back 100%.

I'm not saying you should feel great about it. Just acknowledge the other side of it. It's got great bust potential. But also great boom potential.

The voice of reason.

The Cowboys will get killed for that pick. A RB in the first, an injured LB in the 2nd. Where's the defensive help?

They are drafting talent. It's how you build teams.

Smith is a top 5 talent. But my question is, will he ever be a top 5 talent again?

 

[Vintage]

I'm just throwing likes to Risen Star, because he is dead right on this.

 

[guag]

It's got great bust potential. But also great boom potential.

Welcome to the Dallas Cowboys.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

So you draft Elliot to win now. How does drafting Smith help now?'

Its not a help now pick. Cowboys are trying to win now and build for the future.

True but then you also are telling fans you have a 2-3 year window with Romo. So at some point, needs on defense have to be addressed right? Not sure a 4th round defensive pick is going to fix that.

I think the FO is completely stuck in what they really want to do.

True. Just a bummer we won't see him at all this year.

In fairness, a player with nerve damage is still an upgrade from Anthony Hitchens.

Yes, but the same player on Injured Reserve is not..

 

[BrassCowboy]

Does this solidify Greg Hardy coming back?

i think it virtually guarantees it

 

[td4mvp2k]

I have to think their going QB in 3rd now

 

[TheCoolFan]

Go ahead and get Hardy's contract done ASAP

 

[RS12]

This team is cursed in the 2nd round it's unbelievable . They hit in the 1st and just go crazy in the 2nd

let me direct you to the curse

No one absolutely knows if or when a nerve will regenerate.

Reaches? The NFL didn't agree.

You're saying because the bonehead Pigeons and the clueless Rams were stupid enough to trade up, the NFL didn't think the QBs were reaches?

Drive home safe.

 

[Zekeats]

There are reports now he was going in the 2nd or 3rd round. 4th may have been a reach.

It's puzzling, that's for sure.

It also calls into question why couldn't we trade down a few slots and pick up another pick or two? I suspect Smith would have been there a few picks later.

Always need a partner to dance with

 

[YosemiteSam]

People won't like it because there probably won't be an immediate impact. But goodness. Let me tell you if Jaylan Smith can get healthy........he has potential to be a superstar. He's scary good if healthy. This is the Bruce Carter pick all over again except with far greater potential.

Apparently, the Cowboys doctor said this kid WILL have a 10 year career. He just didn't know the exact date he would get back on the field.

 

[Rogerthat12]

Smith if healthy would be the best player in this draft, they must know something from their doctor who performed the procedure, that takes balls!

 

[darthseinfeld]

So so true.
I thought we were smarter than this. Jalen wasn't going anytime soon

Honestly no one outside the NFL knows that
