Here is a list of the last 20 players taken at number 12 overall

[big dog cowboy]

Once Martin went down, the only hole we had on the offensive line is the one our 1st round pick was supposed to fill.

Guyton wasn't drafted to play RG.

Not to mention that it's likely a quarterback or two will be picked in the first 10 picks despite there maybe not being a first round grade QB in the draft.

We're going to get a good player at 11 overall.

At 12. And a good player in the 2nd round.

Guyton wasn't drafted to play RG.

Yes I know but Hoffman and Bass did a better job holding down that position than Martin this year. Martin has been an incredible player for us but time and injuries caught up to him this year. Meanwhile, Guyton was supposed to be our LT but he was a freakin turnstile. I hope he gets better but I haven't seen anything that gives me hope.

Or Vita vea, come on dude that's who you picked on that list there's a whole bunch of greats that's the whole point of this list.. I say do not reach you literally should take the best player available but if it's a tie you gotta go need first right what we be the biggest need at #12 for the dallas cowboys? Literally people are gonna say if it's an offensive lineman then you take him and that's the Safeway out but I think it would be a mistake this draft to do that but I don't think they can go wrong if you take the very best and clear best player that's sitting there at any position you probably should just do it don't worry about where they fit you make room for them... There's that many holes on this team and it's hard to go wrong outside to say don't take a quarterback pretty much everything else is wide open....

here's the counterpoint there's a couple running backs on there did you all really think Jeanty is special, look the kid looks great ,but you really you would take him no matter what and who else is on the board? Is this a no brainer don't think about it pick if he's there no matter what you take him? I don't believe that to be the case but if they picked him I wouldn't be upset but I worry about his miles how much he's used in college and the competition he faced that he won't be as dynamic yes he will be good but how great will he be and we need so many other positions.

this is what people are talking about the Cowboys are gonna be dumb and there are other people saying SF could take him ahead of us and we should jump them to get him??hmm

anyway, but do you really want a running back in that spot when there is a lot of really good ones in the second and third round that can be had easily, I don't think I want to take Jeanty, even if he's there..

Unless he's by far the best player available, I think we need to get other positions like I'd rather have a pass rusher or a linebacker or a wide receiver or yeah interior D line is there a guy at #12 like Fletcher Cox or Vita Vega coming from Michigan how much blowback are we going to get from some of the casuals about that?

Agreed, wholeheartedly.

His caliber or the likes of Sewell.

And the Boys will be cooking; only then you'll see a culture change.

Hope the our weak scouts find that gem at any position. Anyway we can get them.

Trading back for extra draft picks is my prediction.

 

[Bigrandrn]

If for some reason Graham is there, grab him. If not, his counterpart Grant should be. Either will collapse the pocket and be an immediate impact player. Fix the line(s) first, then go for the shiny toys later.

Yup, Rico avg 4.6 yards a carry this season…..i say give him another chance with an improved more gelled and experienced line…..we got other holes needed fixing with our first 2 picks.

Look at what a stud rb does for teams. Look no further than Detroit and Philly. This is the problem too many discount the value of a stud RB. We never won a Superbowl without one.

And you're saying it's a guarantee that Jeany is a lock for the Hall of Fame, you're saying that everybody taken it in the first round that was hyped up coming out of the college it's gonna change a team he's going to be a game changer and you're going to guarantee it? Is that what you're trying to sell me?


because I remember guys like Ron Dayne or at least two of them came from Wisconsin and a guy named Johnny Manziel was a Heisman Trophy winner but I'm trying to stick to just running backs how about this you know how overrated breece hall is but The Jets drafted 2 fresh running backs out of this draft that we wanted and had hall and failed ,so you're using two anomalies,

I get it in some cases, it does work but how about Kansas City they use Kareem hunt all year and they have one of the best records in football and they tanked the last game...

This is more about scheme and by the way the Pittsburgh Steelers do it as well, Harris is not a special back, he's just as back like Eddie George guys who are steady eddie, that's why I use Eddie George as an example never had any big plays in them you just keep handing them the ball like Rico and they'll get you yards which matter because if you commit to the run it can make your offense better yes but you're guaranteeing success by picking your running back in the first round that may have been overused in college and most of the teams he went against were not NFL caliber guys on the other side So what if he drops down a notch you really want to pick a guy in the first round that you can't get a guarantee he's going to change this offense without seeing who's calling the offense who's blocking and all that noise?

I'll go to Miami too,

I mean I'm going to keep using these examples because they also pick 2 running backs in the draft hell it's because of Miami and The Jets that we didn't have an option late in the draft to get another running back and did they do anything special this year because last I checked they didn't they pretty much almost had the same record as us... they had three really good running max 2 if you want to like split hairs.. They didn't do anything last I checked Barry Sanders didn't make the lions great, and neither did Matthew Stafford, but guess what when they're on the right team and the right mix, yes..

I mean the guys you're talking about when they were on other teams Derrick Henry did not lead his team to a Super Bowl neither did Christian McCaffrey didn't get the San Francisco 49ers did it with a three headed monster before they didn't need him to get to the Super bowl they already done it what they needed is for him to be healthy and for them to win a Super Bowl but they didn't do I need to keep going on I mean the New York Giants with Barkley were not a better team he was always a good running back he ended up on a team that had one of the best blocking offensive lines that were run centric first and that is why he's having success..

Jerry Jones is maybe wrong about a lot of things but the one thing he was right about is those two players would not have changed this team as much as they did with their other teams they would not have had the same success they couldn't even figure out how to run Rico 20 * a game until late in the season you expected them to have success here?.

By the way Henry and Barkley and by the way also if you wanna drag Aaron Jones into this when you say Aaron Jones was a basic switch in parallel move to going to get the Raiders running back I don't even see why they changed but these guys were all in the playoffs with their other teams these were already successful teams before they came over but I don't think any of them was going to help our offense this year in this situation so yeah I hope we get a new young running back out of the draft but don't say just having a great running back helps let's just go to DeMarco Murray, Ezekiel Elliott and let's end this we had them in their prime and didn't go far we had quarterbacks and running backs in their prime, that is not what wins you big games you need the whole team to be playing well at the right time including the defense we all know how that happened..

We going to really take another Michigan product?

 

[StarBoyz83]

So dallas has about a 50/50 chance at a really good player

 

[gtb1943]

We going to really take another Michigan product?

hey; we might get an all time player like Brady...
