Jerry facetimed with Matthew Golden's mom

And McMillan didn't even Skype with Stephen.

 

[Sydla]

Geezus, are we really going to do this?

 

[NDGAEDE]

If Jerry has some kind of personal connection with a player, he's as good as picked.

It gives him ammo to ramble and spin a 'charming' story at the press conference. When you don't know what you're doing, you justify your decisions because of your 'gut feeling'--and that's all Jerry's got.

I’d prefer they take the Rams approach. They don’t even meet with players, including 0 top 30 visits. Takes all the bias out of, just let the tape speak for itself. Also not difficult to make a few phone calls to figure out what kind of person a prospect is.

But you’re right, that wouldn’t be a good story for Jerry to sell to the media

 

[ErikWilliamsHeadSlap]

It's not a new thing for Jerry. Not a big deal.

You are on record saying that they don't know what they are doing with the Golden pick. That's interesting. He looks pretty good.

 

[CWR]

Yup, Tet will be gone and Golden will be the choice.

 

[pacy]

He learned quick. "Coach Jerry"

That seals it for me. Golden the pick is.

And you’ll like it

Maybe Coach Jerry could FaceTime Roger Goodell’s mom for an extra draft pick.

Sad but true. Big mistake. Jerry needs to trade down and pick up extra Day 2 picks. This man continues to do the least to help the team. Smh

 

[DasTex]

So has this happened before in past drafts?

 

[NDGAEDE]

Not what I'm saying. I'm saying Jerry--as a GM--has no idea what he's doing. That's why he relies on folksy things like 'was this guy raised right', or 'i talked to his momma, that's a good family right there'/ I think Golden is a good prospect, though not at all my favorite option.

 

[Mr_437]

Somebody gave Golden the secret sauce calling Jerry, "Coach Jerry"...yeah I just want to know what number he's wearing, Juanyeh gon have to come off #2.

How is the interview Lady know Matthew's Mama too lol?

 

[Sheepherder]

Who exactly makes the calls on these draft picks? I have to assume Jerry but not sure.

 

[cowboyec]

....and with the 12th pick...the cowboys select...matthew golden,wr-texas.

3 steps,dak...and the ball needs to be out.

 

[baltcowboy]

Be careful I remember the same information came out with another Texas player last draft. People thought were taking Jonathan Brooks early.

 

[InPhiltraitor]

Geezus, are we really going to do this?

Of course. Taking a player in the first round that no one has graded as a first round player.

 

[Teague31]

? Plenty of people have him going in the first.
