Draft Show 4.24

[LatinMind]

The question on Ajayi is not that he's injured now, but that his knee will be problem down the line. Specifically the cartilage on the knee is gone, basically a bone on bone situation.

Could end up seeing him drafting at the bottom of the 3rd top of 4th.

Talking to coaches there is concern on his knee aswell.

Shane Ray DRs calling his situation as an aggressive turf toe. Sounds like something thats always going to hamper him.

Cedric Ogbuehi some talk that teams still have him high on their boards. Sounds like teams are looking at a PUP situation with him rather than IR for the yr. Talk around the league is a few teams would take him in RD1.

Some say he has the best footwork out of the all the OL. Needs work on his punch. Late first round grade

Hardy situation DE in FA?
Dallas as right now probably has 3 comp picks for 2016, dont want to mess with that. Get DE in the draft.

Dallas seems to be very interested in Frank Clark.

Abdullah prospect for Dallas?
Alot of like about him, so quick with his movements but all his vision and decisions. But big red flag is his pass protection. Dont trust him at all there.

Next WED draft show will be doing a 7RD mock draft. (ill be recapping)

If Gurley slips some dont be suprised is the conversation is there for a trade up for him.

Havent heard any news on Vikings trading Peterson.

Thanks for the recap, LM.

That is not good news on Ajayi. My father had no cartilage in his knee and was basically bone on bone. His knee swelled up every time he worked out. Feel sorry for Ajayi but it is what it is.

@LatinMind have they talked about if the end from Nebraska falls will they take a chance on him?

Thanks for the recap, LM.

He left out Duke Johnson as a consideration in 2cnd or 3rd if they miss out on the early RB's, thought you would like to know this info!

Brugler will have a huge egg on face if Ajayi goes in the 2nd,nobody will trust him now

They did. Both Dane and Bryan think DAL would take him at 27 if he's there. Both think there's a good chance he is.

Really? Is this based on inside knowledge or are they just talking?

Thanks for the post, either way. I'm really not a Duke Johnson fanatic or anything. I'm actually not fond of Miami. DJ just looks like the real deal to me.

I think they were speculating but it seems as if they do not get a back early like Gurley or Gordon with more size, then they may wait until the 2cnd@60 or 3rd and take a back who can play in a rotation.

If they do go with the platoon approach, Duke would excel because of his explosiveness and great hands and could stay fresh in the rotation with Darren.

Not sure if we should be scared of Ajayi in the 3rd. Do we really want to give a rb a second contract anyway. 4 years is all we need out of that knee

They did. Both Dane and Bryan think DAL would take him at 27 if he's there. Both think there's a good chance he is.

They also said Gregory has had issues going back to High school. That his coaches asked that he quit getting drug tests because he would fail.

Also said he would come out for any injury... Think he joked about he would come out of the game for a hang nail lol

Either way not paint a good picture of him.

I had the same thought when the knee issue was revealed. If he could play at a good level for 6 years, that's probably only a couple years below a RB with a clean bill of health.

I like other RBs more, but for a guy with a gimpy knee he doesn't seem to let it affect him on the field. Short weeks would probably be an issue though.

Ajayi will be getting shots in that knee daily for his entire career

Brugler said some team could very well say screw it he;s too good to pass up and take him in RD2

Yeah Gregory looks all of Aaron Maybin

I havent been posting recaps basically because i think theyre going downhill. Instead of reporting more news lately all they been doing is what they bashed Kiper for today, and that is prediciting picks and such based on their likes and dislikes. Instead of sticking to more of a general Cowboys needs. Today i lost interest a couple times when they started to go into their own babbles about what they thought would be best for Dallas.

 

[Beast_from_East]

Yea, I don't know what to think about Ajayi..........do you take a RB with no cartilage in his knee?

Broaddus said that it could be 6 games or 6 years when talking about how long the knee would hold up for..................basically rolling the dice is the impression I got.
