Draft predictions

The tight end I would want them to take in Round 3 is the Andrews kid out of Oklahoma........................Provided he's there , of course..............
 
Verdict said:
1. What will be the surprise move on draft day that no one saw coming that we should have seen coming?

2. What position will we grab a player that everyone will bemoan because we didn't need a player at that position?

3. What position will we ignore that everyone pretty much universally agrees is a team need in this draft?

4. What round will we take.a QB?

5. What player trade do you expect to get floated by us on draft day? Will we get any takers?

1. Hopefully there are no surprises. Stick to the plan, do not try to be cute just to make a splash.
2. I would like to say WR, but I would bemoan a TE...as long as 1/2 yard short of the 1st down guy is here, a TE will be a wasted pick.
3. I hope it is not DT early.
4. If at all, 6th or 7th, if they keep all 10 picks, but I think more like an UDFA
5. Many will say Dez, but I think Beasley or Twill, and I hope Crawford.

Yea because he was such a speed demon early in his career.

Guys need to stop with that narrative already. He wasn't fast at TEN, he isn't fast at DAL, he won't be fast in the future.

Speed isn't his game. It never was.

YOUR funny. No one has ever accused Witt of being fast..but he's lost a step..and to ignore that is a dire mistake if we don't not get a TE to pair with him.

Trading our first pick to move back​

DE​
3. What position will we ignore that everyone pretty much universally agrees is a team need in this draft?
I would say we ignore TE. It is not something everyone agrees on but we will need soon.​
4. What round will we take.a QB?
7th ​
5. What player trade do you expect to get floated by us on draft day? Will we get any takers?

Historically, some of us value the DT position more than they do. Haven't taken one in the first since Johnson took Maryland and I don't think this year will be any different. However, if they take a LB in the 1st, I'm fine with that.

I do not want a WR in the top 3 rounds, OL would be OK and I could even take a TE over a WR but we still don't know what they'll do with Dez and I could see them cutting him and taking a WR, in fact trading up for Ridley, because that's a sexy position to Booger.

The one safe prediction I will make is that we will have posters not happy about some of the picks and some not happy with any of the picks. The biggest surprise in this draft to me will be if Booger doesn't try to make a splash in front of the home crowd with a trade early on. The largest viewing audience will be on Thursday night, if they stand pat at 19 and do not move up, that will be a big surprise.

As far as the effect on this season, they better do a lot better then last year's 1st round because they need players to start right away.

They might need to rethink those thoughts because we get run on right up the gut in games. If they are playing a 4-3 and in the DT spots
you have Irving going after the QB than Vita Vea can stuff the run if they get by Irving.

1. Cornerback in the first round.

2) Cornerback in the first round.

After that all Cowboys fans will break their TVs and be unable to watch the rest of the draft.

Either moving way up to make that splash at The Star for S Derwin James, or we move up slightly to pick DT Vita Vea. This idea that Vea is 2nd round material (looking at you BlackThorn) is ridiculous.
 
We will stay where we are. Take the best player available at the position of need. Will be a solid draft.

Nah. I mean it could happen, but I doubt it. We are set at CB. Now Derwin James might be a possibility. But that too will be almost too much. Vea is where I lean.
 
I don't see the Cowboys drafting a safety at all, not unless it's down late for special teams duty.
I also don't see us even thinking about drafting only defense with the first 3 selections.

We will mix in OG/WR with LB/DT

Won't surprise me if we go:
  1. LB
  2. OG
  3. WR
  4. DT and another LB
 
Biggest wow factor that would cause this place to go nuts is if we drafted Lamar Jackson at 19 and Jerry tells everyone we want him for the "Slash" role like Kordel Stewart did with the Steeler 20 plus years ago. Second biggest wow would be us drafting Georgia running back Sony Michel in the first round. Personally my head would explode if we did either one.
 
I predict if they don't draft DL or LB with their first round pick, next year they will be in a position to draft either the best DL or best LB in the draft.
 
1 - LB
2 - DT or another LB if one slipped to us.
3 - DT (if we didn’t get one in the second) otherwise OG
4 - Safety or WR depending on which position has the better player.
5 - LB
6+ BPA

Usually a 1st rounder slips to us in the second. Gotta stay the course unless it’s a no brainer.

No experiments or gambles till after the 4th.

The Cowboys have more than enough needs to afford them a bounty of talent to pick from in the draft without forcing any one position on the team. Rather than draft for weak spots, how's about taking the very best talent available at positions of need? The possibilities should be in great supply. Here's hoping the individual choices are, talent-wise, extremely well founded. I hope the FO goes with their most capable judges of the available abilities in each round. I hope we avoid blowing any picks in the first three or four rounds and find some nice surprises beyond that. We all have our favorites. Here's hoping you'll get some of yours. ;)

Are "weak spots" and "needs" very similar

Witten was never a speed demon but he is light years slower than he was when he came into the league. It's a dramatic difference.
 
I am a no on Jewell unless it’s 4th round or later.
