***Day Two Draft Thread***

Connor Cook in freefall.

That attitude and accuracy cost him a lot. Thought he would be gone too (just glad it wasn't us).

 

[Hardline]

OK so you're happy with burning a pick on a guy we 99% we could have had in the next round. Good to know.

All it takes is one team between our next pick to think otherwise.

Jets have drafted Geno Smith, Bryce Petty, and Hackenberg in three years.

Strike Three

 

[Hailmary]

Which teams still need a QB?

 

[coogrfan]

Nice list with some good players.

Really?

Gurode and Flozell combined for ten Pro Bowl appearances. The remaining 21 players we selected from 1995-2015 had 2.

If they are going to take a QB next round (would rather they take a CB or D-lineman) I hope they go after the kid from N.C. State!

 

[BigStar]

Hope you like the Prescott pick because I think it is coming.

 

[RS12]

Good, because I think Dallas is taking Cardale Jones in the 3rd...

Wouldnt surprise me. Swinging for the fences is the theme of this draft.

Don't you know you're suppose to draft a QB every year.*








*Of course it helps if they're good QB's

I'm going to be fine. I'll be able to play again. It's just timing. Timing is everything. They're going to get a great player. - Jaylon Smith

How about now, guys?

 

[Nightman]

It is so funny watching all the Positive Patty's turn into Debbie Downers when their pet cat doesn't get taken

 

[TimHortons]

Most of the mocks had

is this the first time you've followed the draft? C'mon man! Dont put any faith in mock drafts, they set you up for heartache.

Not putting faith in a mock draft, but when almost every single one had Smith going after the 2nd round, that's a pretty good indication we took him too high. We could have had Smith and a 2nd round player who could contribute immediately

was that falcons cheerleader a man?

Us...but they all are marginal talents.

 

[J817]

Good, because I think Dallas is taking Cardale Jones in the 3rd...

I doubt this tbh
They like Prescott. The DWI he got recently probably sealed the deal for Jerry. Im sure it opened up a soft spot for Jerry

 

[Floatyworm]

Hit that pick for the Falcons....

Sean Davis at 67?

 

[Chuck 54]

FYI....Smith played MLB for ND, and he's an excellent blitzer. Should be the future after McClain completes yet another one year contract because he does just enough to collect a paycheck.

 

[WillieBeamen]

Commanders will take Billings

LOL you're not thinking clearly. The butt hurt has somehow scrambled your brain.

The Cowboys have cashed in on several gambles in recent history. They've also hit on plenty of draft picks over the past few years- probably more than most teams.

There's plenty of legit gripes for any reasonable fan to have with this organization. I'll never understand why some fans insist on making things up on top of it.

Who is making things up? What results do you use to provide "hit on plenty." They went safe on the OL - Smith, Fred, Martin (v JFB), Collins UDFA, Dez was projected to go in early Rd 1 (14th by Mayock and went 24th). I get that all of those draft hits are taking over the NFL, but our gambles are envied?

So "personal reasons" isn't a gamble? Sean Lee had injury concerns too. He was a gamble. You can sit here and downplay these "gambles" but Jerry and co. have been gambling long before now and with the history they have had since 2010...they seem to be doing something right with the draft.

And just as I thought not even 24 hours ago in a Jack conversation.

This is true. I just don't get completely taking him off the board. Even as a late rounder. I think someone takes him tomorrow though. I'm not sure if I do it in the 2nd. Not where we are picking.

Not to be unfair to him but don't we hear this every year? The injury guy who analysts and scouts say "If it wasn't for the injury he'd be a top 10 pick....."? And then they go on to either have a short career or a irrelevant one?

Did not see one post in the last 2 months about Smith as a second. But now it is a great gamble
