Hoping the Cowboys avoid players with injury concerns

[Coogiguy03]

Yes injuries are apart of the game, but we've been through this for years. Your best availability is your availability! This team has lost a lot of players this off season. Taking a risk on a player coming out of college who has injury concerns, will most likely have them in the NFL.

There's so many players to draft this week, I'm hoping we take a hard look this year at avoiding this. Sometimes I feel because of the trainers we have/doctor, we feel that we're fine. Please give your thoughts on this topic

I figure Payton Wilson, the LB with 2 torn ACL is a lock for us.

 

[ChuckA1]

I agree 100%. There have been so many gambles on previously great players who were injured. Most times, the gamble just didn't pay off. Hopefully they'll keep that in mind this year... yeah, right!

Trade back. Take Brooks and Wilson in the 2nd. Win win

Good. Not worried about it. Best LB in the class

Someone needs to lock up Jerry in the bathroom when the 2nd round pick comes up. He loves to think he is a football genius and will get the steal of the draft.

Sean Lee was the best LB on our team, see how that went, I hear ya though

Are you also hoping that they hire Tom Landry as coach and relocate the team to El Paso? Because both of those have about the same chance of happening as them resisting the lure of damaged goods.

No just hoping for the best

No guts, no glory. If they plan on hitting big and filling multiple starting spots, they're going to have to take some risks. Brooks is the risk I'd take in the second though. Limited wear and tear as a redshirt sophomore that really only played last season. Kid has talent and lots of gas left in the tank.

Right! Hopefully, he's getting good consulting advice to stop thinking he's the talent identifying guru that he thinks he is.

Only if running back brooks and his ACL isn't available...

You said that about jaylon too?

 

[starfan1]

I hate OSU but I hope we get Tommy Eichenberg and then hope they dont pass alot on him. Dude is solid against the run I hear. I may regret saying this please dont bookmark

 

[Carson]

He absolutely was pre-injury and was a consensus top 10 pick.

His injury was much different and effected his play.

Wilson just needs to stop getting injured. If doesn’t have any effect on his game day one

BPA...best project available.

But i thought we were speaking draft day. Was for sure a different injury, bad pick, and terrible 2nd contract. Poor jerry and hs pity paychecks.

I think Jaylon hurt his self by being about Jaylon and showboating. He was solid year one. Then he was all about his business, being flashy, celebrating etc
