How would you grade the pick?
I think the player is a decent pick and likely will be a long time above average starter. Like you said, we already have a ton of bodies competing at G without even mentioning Charles and the other vet they just signed from the Bengals.F
We already had solid candidates for Guard on the roster Bass,Hoffman,Jones,Richards.
HORRIBLE PICK
You want Dak passing 40 times a game?!I dislike the pick more for what it says about where the team is headed than anything else. Schottenheimer runs the ball. It's what he does. It's all he does. It's why he never has good offenses. But it's clearly what he's going to do here.
I want good offense. Schottenheimer's obsession with running leads to bad offense. Yes, I want Dak throwing the ball because passing is how you win. I suspect he'll be throwing a ton this season because all the running early is going to leave them in big holes late.You want Dak passing 40 times a game?!
Where do you know they had him on their board. Zack worked out pretty goodF
We drafted a low value position on a player that wasn’t rated as a top 12 player.
If you’re going to reach do it for a money position.
Dont sleep on GiddensHe is the most scheme fit player that could have been drafted by Dallas. Shotty has specified he wants to run the ball, at least this proves he isn't a liar. I give it a B draft grade. The player is a mauler that gives credence to the run run pass Marty ball offence. He was my 14th overall prospect and it's not a reach for me, I realize I will be in the minority in this. A trade back would have been ideal but Indy, Arizona, Cincinnati could have been options to draft him.
I seriously would have thought about drafting TE Tyler Warren since next years draft is abysmal at that position. If they didn't like trade back options, he is a great value fallback option. Mostly, because he is a safe prospect. Egbuka and him are probably the most likely to be perennial pro bowlers from this batch of players; after the blue blood top 5 guys.
I lost interest in him when Dallas brought in so many Guard options during FA. Expect to draft a gap scheme runner in round 2 or 3 mainly Johnson, Iowa or Martinez, Miami.
Overall, a slight reach but an underrated need that is a plus plus system parameter. This is no longer a spread offence. Dak is a play action quick release QB.
They will try to run over all the teams who are doing the Cover 2 shell approach that has slowed down the rest of the NFL. They have gotten smaller and faster and have done it exponentially. This really gives Dallas the bully ball option, they are getting ahead of the game.
I like the Booker pick. Sorry about that.
