Kiper On The Cowboys

[Alexander]

Yeah, nothing about safety which is the area they have put in the most work.

 

[GhostOfPelluer]

People are going to lose their minds when we wait until the fourth round to pick a safety

 

[Bowdown27]

I can’t stand kiper I feel he’s never right

 

[Sydla]

Mel is an icon.

But he's getting senile.

Especially if that's because we took a backup RB in the 2nd or 3rd round. LOL.

Perhaps.

All I can say is if we end up with someone like Khari Willis or Will Harris, I would not be shocked.

We have undervalued the position for years. Don't see why they would suddenly think otherwise.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

The players may be off but if we follow what the Cowboys have done in recent memory......they aren't going safety at 2nd round. They may. But it wouldn't shock me if they didn't. I could see a scenario where they go tight end or running back there or even slot receiver before safety.

I think what it is is they just don't value the position enough to take the risk. Like if Derwin James fell to them..........I think they'd say they would still take LVE but I believe he would've been our pick if he kept falling. But they didn't value him enough to trade up and get him either.

but if Zeke gets hurt or decides to pull a LaVeon Bell...that back-up RB all of a sudden becomes VERY important.
and if none of the above happens...I still don't trust Zeke to make smart decisions with his off time.

4th is too late,they might not even bother .

True but they have done homework on many safeties that they'd have to grab in the 2nd or 3rd.

So that gives me some hope.

You can't use a premium pick on a TB because you are afraid Zeke might get hurt or he might get suspended. That's just bad roster management.

Because what if he doesn't get hurt? Then you just used a 2nd round pick on a guy that might play 10% of the time over the next two seasons.

don't necessarily disagree....and the earliest Id wanna take a RB is at 90.
but I certainly understand if we took one at 58...and maybe Im dead wrong with this....but if we take one at 58....that tells me they know something we don't about #21.
in the end.....its gonna be a S or DL.

The only way a TB at 58 makes sense is if they have made the decision to let Zeke play out his contract and they won't sign him. But even then, that's still not a good use of that pick IMO.

 

[Carson]

He continues to miss on Dallas just like every season.

Hey Mel, how did picking vander esch over a receiver turn out? Oh right. Vander esch was the better pick and we’re now loaded at receiver

 

[morasp]

We used two draft picks last year and our first this year on WR so no thanks. Knox might turn out to be really good but I would prefer a guy with a little more production that early in the draft. Weren't there some comments about Warring that he might be learning impaired? I don't mind DL and if Jones was there he would be good value. Unless Saunders is suddenly rising he would probably be there at 90 and I think they like Hill better.

If we don't take a S at 58 than I have already thought that we will wind up taking Will Harris from BC and he is not a bad SS but just not as high on him as the other prospects.

 

[Techsass]

Usually the FO grabs FAs for the positions they plan on drafting.

They signed a lot of FA receivers & D linemen. Only 1 safety I think, but they have 4 projected round 2 safeties on their official visits. Most of the DT visits are projected late 2nd/3rd round.

Oops. I forgot this was about Mel.

 

[BlueNSilver88]

mel is highly overrated "expert"

We've done similar before so I won't be surprised.
