[Trouty]

TJ Watt at 60 would be incredible!

 

[morasp]

Two players linked to the cowboys ranked right where they pick.

 

[DanTanna]

Yeah, Watt at that spot is an apparent steal.

 

[NeonNinja]

I'm much higher on Baker than majority of these lists.

 

[Trouty]

I'm much higher on Baker than majority of these lists.

Seriously. Watt and Baker 1 and 2 would be awesome, if Barnett/Peppers is gone in the first.

This is a weird list, but I appreciate the OP and his bolded numbers for our picks.

Hell, if we grabbed Reddick in the first I wouldn't be mad.

I'd jump all over Reddick if he made it to 28. Should be an interesting night. Hopefully it works out well for us.

Gonna be an awesome night, Dash!

Based on recent news, Gareon Conley just went from #11 on that list to completely off it. Everyone below #11 moves up a spot. Conley is being accused of rape.

Holy shyte! Is this legit, or another La'el-type dealio?

If it is unfounded (like Zeke's DV) and he drops to us, I'd be all over that pick, too. If it's legit, he raped her, then lock him up.

Looks like he said she said. They did do a rape kit, tho.

This is a lot more serious than La'el Collins. Collins was just being questioned about whether he had any information on the murder of his ex-girlfriend. He was only questioned due to his former relationship with the girl. Conley is actually named in a police report and accused of rape in a police report. An NFL team would be stupid to go near this guy until he is cleared.

Wow. I don't know what happened just the timing is a little suspicious. Not sure he will be drafted with this.

 

[Doc50]

From the looks of Gil's list, it certainly does appear that CB could be the 'Boys' first pick.

Remember, JJ said that it looks like a good year to stay put, and there are 5 CB's ranked from 26-32.
Also, 2nd round pick #60 would put us in the ballpark for 3 safeties and a certain highly-touted DE.

Wouldn't be a bad start.

Trying to pick more than 2 rounds is somewhat maddening due to the number of surprise picks and subsequent fallout that we'll see.
But it looks like a deep draft in our areas of need, and the FO should be able to land some gems.

 

[jobberone]

Seldom do you see the draft unfold as ANYONE predicts. But I still enjoy consuming anything at least half decent. Never did get the complaints about this author or that because no one gets it right.

Collins' was a lot different but you can't pretend it was less serious. Collins was under investigation and made it clear via his agent, he wasn't signing with a team unless they picked him in the first round. That scared teams off more than anything else.

No need to muck about with rare exception at least this draft.

My brother just finished up his career playing football at Baylor (all the rape allegations there) but he tells me all the time how those girls prey on football players for fame and vice versa so it's really no way to know what happened until the end. He even told me he hooked up with this girl one night and in the morning they were laying in bed and she goes "you know I could ruin your whole career by saying you raped me right "? Trying to force him to be her bf. It's crazy out here nowadays

Is it Gil that had some crazy intuition nearing the draft recently? I remember him being spot on sometime the last few years. I'm too lazy to look it up.

If it is unfounded (like Zeke's DV) and he drops to us, I'd be all over that pick, too. If it's legit, he raped her, then lock him up.

Looks like he said she said. They did do a rape kit, tho.

Grab Jones, Conley and Lewis.......still gives us a first and we revamped the secondary

 

[Trouty]

This is a lot more serious than La'el Collins. Collins was just being questioned about whether he had any information on the murder of his ex-girlfriend. He was only questioned due to his former relationship with the girl. Conley is actually named in a police report and accused of rape in a police report. An NFL team would be stupid to go near this guy until he is cleared.

Perhaps so. I don't necessarily disagree, brudda. But it goes both ways. Like it did with Collins.
