Do not lose sight of this

[Stash]

I think it's reasonable for the rationale for drafting different players to be different.

Go Cowboys!

 

[Stash]

Top 5 is usually immediate impact... Are you just purposely trying to destroy such a beautiful perspective?

Pointing out the hypocrisy.

 

[Stash]

You've got the wrong guy if you're implying that I follow that mindset, this team is a disaster... doesn't mean I'm going to go out of my way to hit them over the head when they do actually make a good decision.

And you're judging it as a 'good decision' at this point?

 

[LittleD]

Under that 2 year scenario:
Chance that we have a franchise QB in 2 years: very slim
Chance we would have a $8.9 mm cap hit, while trying to find said franchise QB.. very high.
RB's are definitionally not in it for the long term, especially in the protocol era.
1st round seemed like a really good win now proposition & we have the franchise QB to win now, so that makes sense. We left a big hole in our DL (one of our greatest weaknesses over the past 3 seasons) by not taking a play now prospect & instead took a sky's the limit in 2 years guy.

A disjointed approach, if there ever was one.

You forget that the cap will go up by at least 10mil per year and Romo's cap will be spread over 2 years. The Boys have a plan and it may be that Prescott and Elliott will
run the ball while we find our next QB. That might take a year or two. We have Zeke for at least 5 years and maybe more.

 

[DogFace]

Go Cowboys!

Yeeeaaaahhh!!!That a boy!


one player drafted to help now and one to help down the road? That does sound crazy now that I typed it again.

Next they'll be drafting players to play completely different positions!

 

[Section446]

And you're judging it as a 'good decision' at this point?

Drifting Elliott? Absolutely... Would I have done something different in round 2? Probably, but if he was truly the BPA in their mind, I won't fault them for it.

 

[TheFinisher]

What you guys are missing is that he is not just injured and will recover. If that were the case I would be on boardwith this. If that were the case a team would have picked him in Rd 1 anyway.

He has nerve damage in his knee to the point that he cannot even lift his foot without support. While there is a very good probability he will recover some function, the probability that he will recover enough to play in the nfl are low and the chance that he will be elite is remote.

This was a complete waste of a Rd 2 pick at a place where we could have picked up a starter on defense. There is no way to put lipstick on this pig.

Obviously they received positive feedback from Dr. Cooper otherwise they wouldn't have pulled the trigger. There's no sense in any of us speculating on the medical details, no one is more informed on this situation than Dallas.

And yesterday, the reason given to justify the Elliott pick was 'immediate impact'.

Funny how the story changes depending on whatever player Dallas drafts?

Bang on

This team is clueless

Want to build for later? Take JALEN RAMSEY AT 4

Now you have pieces to building a real D

Want to win now??? Take Zeke at 4

And take someone at 34 that can help NOW

This team has no plan whatsoever

They do have a plan. You just don't like it and guess what...Jerry could care less.

So what's the plan?

 

[LittleD]

So what's the plan?

They will have Elliott for at least 5 years and if Jaylon Smith heals for at least 4 and maybe 12 since he's
only 20 years old. They will most likely draft Dak Prescott in the 4th who is a project but, can
run the ball and looks similar to that Seattle QB. He and Elliott will be able to run the ball if Romo leaves
in 2-3 years. This core and the OL will take the team into the next QB franchise even if it takes 5 years
to achieve. Run the ball, control the clock and you can keep a team in most every game. Get on board or
just move over to the Jags and rag on them.

Yeah, that's not the plan..

I can promise you with 100% certainty that Dak isn't the future at qb for this franchise

so we either have to take all players that can start day 1 or all players that will take 1-2 years to develop or get on the field? Why not get one of each like we did? Both are great players that will likely be huge parts of our future.

 

[LittleD]

I'd sure like to rent that crystal ball you seem to have. I could make a fortune in the Stock Market and retire next week.
Geez. I didn't say Dak was the future at QB, I said he was most likely a bridge to the next franchise QB. Big difference.
There are no franchise QB's left in this draft.

 

[jazzcat22]

Apparently this team has much more faith in the current roster on defense then we fans do.
Now there are some player to get today that can contribute. Not impact players, not this year. But can add some depth. So it is a future draft other than Zeke.

I don't get it, don't have to like it, but have to live with it.
I just hope they redeem themselves today, at least to me redeem themselves, and make some good picks and moves.

 

[morasp]

With what I've seen from Marinelli, he won't hesitate to put Collins out there in game situations and see what he can do. If he gets some pressures on passing downs that's a plus.

 

[Shotgun Dave]

Heh whatever makes your "argument" work man

Well, that and the fact that Elliott was the 4th overall pick. You'd expect a starter there, and less so in each round. Makes sense to me.

 

[StarBoyz83]

Well said. Don't now how many times I've seen people act like the draft changes the upcoming season.

I think at the age of 20 they are trying to get the best of both worlds with Zeke.
