***Day Two Draft Thread***

[hornitosmonster]

Myles Jack would have been my choice. I understand the first round grade Jaylon Smith if he wasn't injured.

 

[canters]

I would not be surprised if he plays during the 2nd half of the season. Jerry knows something. Reading draft magazines and it says he has pass rush potential.

Jerry is known as a famed surgeon in NFL circles.

If the Giants take tyler Boyd ima be pissed

Boyd is a 3rd Rd WR.

 

[whateverman]

I need to turn my tv off because when we take Prescott in the 3rd I am going to destroy things.

Lol Giants pick gets cut off on ESPN

He is a freak athlete. When he got to Notre Dame they didn't know if he should play DE, LB, or Safety. He will get healthy and be a stud for us.

This is like buying a lottery ticket. Huge payoff, but a chance of getting nothing. Way too high to take him.

 

[DOUBLE WING]

Debatable. Depends on his outlook. Some had him as the best player in the draft. The injury sucks, though.

By that logic you might as well take him at 4 overall then. He was probably the best player available then too, when healthy. Of course, that's the problem. He's not healthy.

 

[Outlaw Heroes]

Im happy about the pick!! Does anyone know the exact time table? Would be nice to have a fresh Jaylon Smith in the playoffs.

The exact timetable? There's a real chance the nerve may NEVER regenerate. This was the ultimate gamble by our riverboat gambler owner.

 

[TheDude]

Giants love those WRs

Shepard is gonna be a headache

 

[NickyDawg]

Great...and now the @#$%^&*@# gnats get Shepard

 

[Hardline]

Just look at it as a pre 2017 1st round draft pick. Thats what talked me off the ledge.

Did the Cowboys have a medial report the rest of the league didn't have? Investigation forth coming

 

[SultanOfSix]

A guy who can't play for at least a year is not the BPA.

Who says? BPA just means best player available. Staubach couldn't play for a number of years. It didn't mean he wasn't a great player.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

They have no plan or direction.....

Some moves are win now moves, some are aimed at the future.

You need to be all in for either one or you are going nowhere

No you don't. You need to win now and plan for the future. You don't abandon one or the other.

 

[DOUBLE WING]

Wait until you see him play.

It looks like I'm gonna be waiting a long time.

 

[RS12]

Damn the Gnats took Shepard.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

Because of Jimmy.

Because of both jerry and Jimmy

Smith was expected to tumble even further than this due to his gruesome knee injury, but the Cowboys' team doctor actually performed his surgery, so they know his medical records better than anyone. Smith (6'2/223) earned the 2015 Butkus Award as the nation's top linebacker, finishing his three-year career with 24.5 tackles for loss as a 39-game starter. Unfortunately, Smith tore his ACL and LCL in January's Fiesta Bowl and won't be available for his rookie season. agnosed wi Due to nerve damage in the knee, there is concern Smith may never play again if his nerve doesn't "wake up." On game tape, Smith was an instinctive playmaker who drew comparisons to ex-49ers ILB Patrick Willis. To make good on his once-limitless promise, Smith is going to need good fortune. He was reporteodly dith "drp-foot" syndrome at the Combine.

Smith will be a force in 2017.

No one knows, see you own post "Due to nerve damage in the knee, there is concern Smith may never play again if his nerve doesn't "wake up."

 

[Zordon]

giants are going to light us up.

 

[NorthwestDallas40]

I just find it more than a coincidence that our doctor did the surgery. I can't argue with those talking about the potential bust of this pick but man, if he will be okay with the knee then they got a top 5 pick at 34.

Who would know best? The surgeon. Who does that surgeon work for? The Cowboys.

I stand behind the move.

If you are going to make a pick like this solely for the future, you trade back so you can recoup the pick you have given up for this year. This is indefensible at 34.
