Of the clan Macleod?Probably.
I got the first 3 letters right. What do you want from me?
At least I didn't call him Connor McCloud.

Yep, they drafted Connor to teach his famous McGregor strut to all of the players.Connor McGregor?

Cowboys also wanted Paxton Lynch and Connor Cook 3 years ago. And, well, we got lucky and got Dak. Sometime, it is better to get what you didn't want at first.
I totally and 100% agree with you. Quality over Quantity. Most of those late picks we made probably would have been UDFA anyway.I think that’s a legitimately fair question.
You can even argue they take Hill at 58 (since they valued him more than either Thornhill or Rapp), then trade up and secure Will Harris somewhere before pick 90.
I’m of the mindset you put yourself into position to grab the highest rated players on your board (within reason). The notion of “we let the board come to us” is problematic.
Id much rather walk away from the Draft with 4-5 players you targeted versus 7-8 players you settled on.
I'm not going to pretend like I know more than people whose jobs depend on the Cowboys being successful and McGovern will probably turn out to be a good pick. Hopefully at least he will be better than our last third round offensive lineman. But, there were two pretty highly rated safeties there with Hooker and Thompson and the DE Zach Allen all of whom were rated a little higher than McGovern on NFL.com. In addition to that counting Cooper, McGovern, and Pollard three of our first four picks were used on offense. Our offense should be dominant this year. I know I will be watching Allen, Thompson, and Hooker with interest in how well they turn out.
If Fisher is accurate, this would seemingly refute those that defend the Cowboys by saying they use BPA. They just admitted McGovern was a better prospect than Hill but took Hill anyway. SO clearly they draft by need at times. And that's not shocking because they did the same thing with Charlton. Hopefully this turns out better than Taco.
And I think it's clear that they took Hill largely under the premise that there would be a safety at either 90 or even in the 4th that they liked. I suspect those two were Harris in the 3rd and Willis in the 4th. But both got snatched before their pick and they were left to try to argue that this was all part of the plan.............. that they weren't going to invest a lot in the S position.
Mike Fisher threw me off... big time.Connor McGregor?
That's right I was looking at the wrong page. Here are the defensive players rated above McGovern and one right after. Offensive lineman are hard to find in the third but maybe we found a diamond in the rough. If McGovern turns out to better than Chaz Green who we also took in the third round I'm happy but there were some defensive options when we made the pick.Allen was actually taken at the beginning of the third.
Sports medicine center not withstanding Berry's injury is chronic in a place that will severely degrade performance his heel near the Achilles. And as of right now I guess berry is not on bard with an incentive laden deal or he would be here.This is why Jerry is the man for Berry. Jerry has a sports medicine center and is willing to take risks.
Incentive laden contract protects both sides. Berry gets the chance to play on a big stage auditioning for the league for next year. Everyone is a winner.
How is this being misrepresented? It's right there in the video...everyone can look for themselves. Point being...our draft is still being directed by a senial guy that probably puts in half the time to know how the draft is going to go.
If you study the draft...put together a draft board...you can get a sense of who is going where. I do it every year....yet here is a video of a room full of guys that are just winging it.
From a fans perspective....that's unacceptable. This is supposed to be a professional organization. Their philosophy of "let the draft come to us"...is flawed.

Yeah go figure. Now that he's a Cowboy, like everyone else here, I'll be rooting for him.When the Cowboys took McGovern he was the only player left on their board with a second round grade. I guess they weren't looking at NFL.com. Go figure.
So they basically admit to not drafting BPA.
