I haven’t studied the guys we picked at all but it will be interesting to see how they fare. Just based off of what I am hearing, here are a couple of observations:
Hill- Lots of conflicting info on this guy. The “traits” that I keep hearing about (very explosive for a big guy and quick first step” indicate he has a chance, but he seems to be listed as a late round guy who could be a steal late. Sounds like an overdraft to me. I’m willing to give the Cowboys the benefit of the doubt on this one, but this has Marinelli all over it. So if he bombs I hope he takes Marinelli with him.
McGovern- The team referred to him as a blinking light based on draft value and we didn’t have to have a guard so they didn’t reach for need. Just based on team comments it sounds like this guy has the least chance of being a bust out of this class based on draft position.
Weber- Sounds like a good value pick that late in the draft. I’m glad we didn’t wait to pick up a RB in UDFA because no one is going to want to come and sit behind Zeke freely.
Jelk- Another blinking light comment on this guy. Based on these comments you expect that they had him high on their draft board.
If you go by what the talking heads say, then we reached a lot. If you believe in the Cowboys’ draft process then maybe we parlayed that compensatory 4th into a couple of solid players for us. If one of the 3 players they got for that pick hit, then it was a good move.
I think the Cowboys seem very confident in what they are wanting to accomplish. I will say this: I love the emphasis on the trenches on both sides.
