***Day Two Draft Thread***

[fishspill]

The Smith pick does nothing but support that there is no real plan or philosophy and every move is independent of the next.

Elliott is a win now pick, and although I don't like it, fine if that's your strategy.

Then turn around and spend pick 34 on a guy that wont play next year.

Half assing win now vs. planning for the future will get you nowhere.

It's like they're using focus groups to build a team. No clear, central philosophy.

Grrrrr Jihad Ward was someone I was hoping the Cowboys would get

 

[the_h0wey]

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

Do you enjoy watching Sean Lee play? Do you remember his rookie year?

 

[Floatyworm]

Someone tell me why Jarron Reed is falling?

Jaylon Smith has to be viewed as a luxury pick. #Cowboys don't seem to have that luxury on D.

#Cowboys continue tradition getting zero 1st yr value fm 2nd round picks. Love player. Hate redshirt season #NFLDraft2016

Matt Mosley ‏@mattmosley 36m36 minutes ago
Cowboys were determined not to get immediate help with that second pick. They went after Lynch, then Smith.


Nick Eatman ‏@nickeatman 37m37 minutes ago
Soooo if someone told me Cowboys were gonna draft a Notre Dame player whose brother is on this team.. I would've been wrong!

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Who is "you?"

The "you" also traded up for Mo and laid down $50M for a #2CB in one year.

You want to stress on one bad pick but do you want to over the other HITS we've had in drafts? Or is that no fun?

 

[DTown214]

So now are we hoping A'Shawn Robinson, Jarren Reed, or Andrew Billings fall to the third to us?

 

[HappyOnions]

and now just added another explosive WR.

So they have Beckham, a first year rookie, and Victor Cruz who is basically the Giants version of Miles Austin?

Doesn't strike fear into my hearts. We almost beat them last year and almost beat them with Matt Cassel at QB.

#Cowboys source on Jaylon Smith's knee-nerve injury: "He's going to have a 10-year NFL career. We just don't know when it starts."

Any chance it could start by the end of this year?

 

[Alexander]

So...we take a RB in rd 1 ("win now!"), and in rd 2 we take a LB who isn't likely to contribute anything in 2016 ("building for the future").

I give up...which is it?

Don't try to figure it out.

Just nod and visit the Pro Shop regularly.

Best advice I can give.

 

[SultanOfSix]

We were 5th against the pass last year, and 17th in overall defense WITHOUT Scandrick.

Beckham had 5 catches for 44 yards during the first game, and 4 catches for 35 yards in the second - did not have a TD in EITHER game against us last year.

Yeah I don't get it. Our D kept us in games last year. Our O was horrid and we improve that significantly with Zeke and a hopefully healthy Tony.

We will draft more D and may even re-sign Hardy again.

The sky isn't falling and I err more on the side of pessimism.

 

[Daillest88]

wish we would of traded to get lynch now. this is insane

 

[AbeBeta]

They said the same about Bruce

No. They did not. He was not the dominant college player that Smith was.

 

[Floatyworm]

Does this solidify Greg Hardy coming back?

I'm starting to think there could be a possibility.....

Why is that a win now at #4?
We went from a guy on a one year contract paired with a guy on a two year contract to a stud RB who will carry the rushing load for years to come. That pick wasn't about win now in any way. Contrary to those who are only griping about 2016, I think we are finally acquiring true talent for the long haul.

 

[JS22]

I'll take it!!!!....Jaylon Smith

Yes sir. Top 5 talent. If he can come back strong next year this will be the steal of the draft BY FAR.

 

[MrPeanutbutter]

Any chance it could start by the end of this year?

I doubt it. Even if he were healthy later in the season, it's not worth inserting a guy that late in the season.

 

[RS12]

Who said that? Mr. Sunshine Jones?

Isnt that Spaulding's brother?

 

[DOUBLE WING]

A 2nd round pick is a 2nd round pick. Its not a 1st rounder. Its not like a late 1st rounder. Its a early 2nd rounder.



Ok but they got reports saying they believe he will play. If he doesn't play I will agree with you it was a terrible pick. As of right now......i'm liking the potential he can bring this team. We don't have anyone like that and this is what everyone wanted. Not with the injury history of course but the potential was worth the risk.

I think what everyone wanted was a starter who can help the team win now. We aren't good enough to be making luxury picks.

 

[J817]

So now are we hoping A'Shawn Robinson, Jarren Reed, or Andrew Billings fall to the third to us?

Of course, Jerry is hoping every player with 1st and 2nd round grades somehow fall to us in the 3rd
