ESPN Mosley: Dallas Under-the-Radar Draft Needs

[Chocolate Lab]

I wouldn't get worked up over this. From all I've read, Wade simply told Mosley that there was a lot of OLB talent in this draft... NOT that we were using a high pick on one. I can't see that happening unless they weren't confident B-Will's knee would be okay and they really didn't like Butler.

In other words, someone tell Matt that complimenting the players at a certain position doesn't necessarily mean you have to use a high pick on one.

You don't hear Wade say much negative about any player, but he did indicate that he wasn't particularly happy with Butler back when Bulter was subbing for Ware.

If an OLB happens to be the BPA at the time of a Cowboys pick, IMO the team has to consider going in that direction. You have to respect your draft board.

That is all well and good, but this is Phillips' pet position.

This is kind of like if Bill Parcells comments that it is a strong tight end draft. You cannot just completely discount it as a simple harmless observation.
