Guys that I would pick at 12 as of 1/21

[rambo2]

BIG NOPE to any Michigan DL in the first sorry.... We haven't had the best of luck with those.

That's really funny. They are nothing like the guys we took. You are talking about a top 5 player and maybe the top 2 dtackles in the class.

If Joe Montana remains undrafted in the 3rd, pounce time?

I have Ewers a late first

I think I like Shemar Stewart as an option as well. I envision him and Osa rushing from the inside on passing downs. He looks like a freak on the field.

I would bet Osa will no longer be on the team come draft time.

Jeanty, McMillan round one
Best interior OL/DL rounds 2 and 3
then doubling up RB/WR depending on round 1 pick in round 5 or later

I really want Jeanty but if McMillian is there it's so tempting. I seriously hope they don't get crazy and draft another tight end early but this is a **** show of a team.

from the reading i try and do as a casual that doesnt watch tape..

your post probably sums up what I would do.

if there is a needle mover(QB, CB, WR, EDGE, LB) available at 12, i guess i would stay pat and pick BPA at a premier position.

i have to admit, though...i hate how rb's are treated in this League...but i would be very very cautious about going RB that high. I wish the rook deals were better for rb's...but overall...the position has been money-balled to the point that even i am saying i would not take one that high. I would really really need to do a lot of due diligence on Jeanty. As in...talk to a couple of guys from each school that played against him his last year in college that played LB or DLine...and ask them to try and gauge how much better he is than the second best back they played against. Either they all say the kid is a monster to try and tackle, or they queue you in that there really isnt that big of a difference...and if the latter is true...im forgoing taking him that high.

I would try and trade back and accumulate some picks so that we can pick some DL's. Im just not sure exactly what this team needs. As in...could they go corner at 12? posters seem to hate diggs around here. could we go tackle? posters are sour on Steele and Guyton...and supposedly there might be a stud tackle available at 12. Its impossible to know what the FO is thinking.

Honestly, the more I think about it the more I want Josh Simmons
Not sure if he'll be ready for training camp, but give me Simmons and I move Guyton to RT and I think the o-line is way better

Could be a big homerun if that knee checks out.

see.

how is anyone supposed to figure this stuff out

 

[America's Cowboy]

Cowboys need to trade down into the mid-20s, pick up an extra 2nd (late) or 3rd + 5th round picks. Then use that mid-20s overall pick to secure their middle LB of the future:

Alabama LB:

Jihaad Campbell​

Height
6'3"
Weight
244 lbs
Draft Age
21.17 years old
40 time (before senior year/high school): 4.52 seconds
Big Board
32nd | LB2

Whatever they get, you will be praising Jerry and claiming they are hall of Fame bound ....... probably a TE

They should get 2 very good players at 12 and 44. The draft is shaping up nicely. They have a very good shot at getting an outstanding running back. If they don't get Jeanty at 12, they will have other outstanding players to chose from.

 

[Hardline]

Just say no to Michigan DL

Should've Kansas City said no to Texas Tech quarterbacks because all of the previous ones failed?

 

[CCBoy]

At the EDGE position alone, guys like Abdul Carter, James Pearce Jr., Nic Scourton, and Mike Green look like potential top-15 draft picks. Green, specifically, could garner interest from Dallas after a big-time Senior Bowl performance this week.
