Jerry on the draft: We can be position selective

[Risen Star]

The following is a hallucination from a frustrated fan....

No, Jerry means the opposite.

To him "position selective" means they can draft any position and don't have to focus on need.

Jerry has completely given control to cap boy. Stevie preps him before he talks to the media with basic concepts of what they're doing. Jerry doesn't even know the names of many players on the roster.

Everybody now reports to Stevie and Stevie reports to Jerry. McCarthy, McClay, etc. Garrett was the last person that didn't report to cap boy.

Stevie was hiring McCarthy while Jerry was still meeting with Garrett. Stevie prepped McCarthy on what to say to Jerry in the interview which starts with an hour of recapping all of Jerry's achievements and repeating "you're the greatest GM in NFL history" once every third sentence...

McCarthy: "Jerry, I remember when you signed TO. That was brilliant. Jerry, I've heard that you personally scouted Zack Martin, Tyron, Frederick"...(goes on to list all of the all pro players drafted by the Cowboys).

guy just invents phrases that are both unnecessary and never mean what he wants them to

Spot on, the OP has mentioned all possible drafting strategies, but Jerry likes him some words.

Other glory holes is there anything more cringy than Jerry talking personnel?

Yes. The people who make our previous president their entire identity, and can't even comment on a football FB post without bringing up politics. It's borderline psychotic. Jerry speaking in general is also cringe to me, though. I can't listen to him speak. When he's on the radio, I change the station.

 

[Verdict]

Yep. You nailed it. The first round pick resides here and it a real safe bet it won't be a DT.

DE it is.

 

[Aliencowboy]

My guess is Guard.

Torrence, Avila or Schmitz

Avila obviously will be #26

 

[Malhavoc]

That’s why Robinson if available is a no brainer.

  [*]So what does the free agency period mean for the draft? Jones said it has once again allowed the team to be "position selective" when comes to taking the best-available-player. "We've got ourselves in real good shape to get us some picks that can play immediately. And that's the goal here. If you get yourself in a position where you can draft some players you can put on the field, and be a position selective a little bit, you're doing it (right). Now you never want to pass on the guy you ought to be taking, but still be position selective. And that's, I think, where we are. I feel good that we can take any position there."

That comment really scares me.

No matter how you say it, draft for need is a bad idea.

Of course he talks nonsense though. As he finishes his position selective rant with feeling good that they can take any position. So who knows.

I was on a start-up with a guy that primarily spoke Swahili and after a week he and I were able to effectively communicate. I been trying to understand Jerry for 30+ years and feel that I've made zero headway.

Position selective, huh?
