Draft week buzz

[reddyuta]

they pick at 21,we can really leverage that pick 20.

If I had to guess one player most likely to be a Cowboy next week I would say it is Colton Hood.

It might have been Yoemans that mentioned him as a player they like. He's also good against the run.

 

[Risen Star]

The #Giants, who had gotten trade calls centered around edge Kayvon Thibodeaux for the last few months, are now considered less likely to trade him following the blockbuster deal sending Dexter Lawrence to the #Bengals, sources say.

No one is ruling anything out. But unlikely.

I think fans should prepare themselves for a Faulk/Hood combo. I'd probably try to get cute and trade down from 20 into the late 20s.

Gross

I agree: I think this is the most likely CB they take. Not a bad pick at all.

Personally, however, just don’t know what they see in him that you don’t also get with Chris Johnson. He’d be my guy with a trade back from 20.

Top tier press man reps is what they don't see in Johnson. Eagles were a top half man coverage team. Maybe Johnson would be an eberflus guy

Like get faulk- hood—Antony hill
Or get delane - faulk - rodriguez


Something like that

Delane - Faulk - Rodriguez would be excellent

MOD EDIT
From the article

Most I’ve spoken with say keep an eye on picks 20, 21, and 22, presently owned by the Dallas Cowboys, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Los Angeles Chargers.


I’m told cornerback Chris Johnson and linebacker Jacob Rodriguez are in play for the Cowboys with the 20th pick, their second selection in the initial round. Ideally, the team would like to trade down from that slot and then select either of the two. Last week, I mentioned that it’s looking more and more as though Johnson will be a first-round pick, and with uncertainty surrounding the knee of Jermod McCoy and Avieon Terrell struggling with injury during the pre-draft process, now it seems like a sure thing.

The human body really is crazy at times.

Some people have herniated discs and can barely move.

Some people have them and can play high level football with no problem at all.

Crazy

 

[reddyuta]

unlikely but i will hold out a tiny bit of hope.

Lamb vibes ......

[Kolemmitt]

Jaylon Smith vibes......

As a dad with a son whose athletic career was cut short by injury, I feel bad for him and for any other kids in similar situations.

 

[Teague31]

They need to trade up to 12 and get themselves one!

 

[Teague31]

If you love Stukes that much do you have to take him at 20 barring a trade back? He won’t get out of the second round

 

[stilltheguru]

So now Stukes and downs are generational. Let's add theineman too. Why stop at those 2?

Crazy

You're not joking. I have TWO, lower back & neck, and still golf twice per week. That's not saying that I'm not in pain the entire time. Now, if I was forced to throw the pads on again, I'd probably cry like a little girl. Props to this dude. His pain tolerance must be crazy.
