Machota: Six Cowboys draft prospects to watch at this week's NFL combine

[Nightman]

Can we please stop with Lynch at 34 fantasy. There is a better chance I get drafted at 34.

Did you say the same thing about Bridgewater and Carr?

Lynch is getting pushed down as Wentz is jumping up.

MSU is QBU.

They run a Pro Offense and Kirk Cousins wasn't as highly touted as Cook.

Tom Brady in 2000 and (1 year wonder) Kirk Cousins in 2013. In between that it was Chad Henne, Drew Stanton, and Brian Hoyer. That qualifies as QB U to you?

Brady and Henne were MICH guys but Nick Foles started at MSU under D'antonio.

With Cousins, Stanton, Hoyer, Foles and now Cook that is pretty impressive.

Even if Lynch were to slide big time, Theres no way he'd get past Houston.....we'll see what happens, but I think Lynch reclaims the #2 QB spot from Wentz at the combine.....

oh and no thanks on Cook, I wouldnt even draft him in the 3rd or 4th round from the things Ive heard about him....

According to who? The media? The small time draftnik blogs? They just blast whoever is "hot" at the moment over and over in articles

I have a feeling Lynch is more attractive to Cowboys at 4 then Goff at 4 due to his physical tools and huge ceiling.

CBS Sports for one has Lynch at 30.
A lot of mocks I see have Lynch in a free-fall. Maybe after the Combine he might get a bounce because of his size.

Don't know what I was thinking with Brady...

But no, not at all impressive to me. Thats 3 back ups and the jury is still out on Cousins for me. And even if he can come close to repeating last years #'s Cousins still isn't a super bowl winning QB. Taking a QB like that puts you in purgatory with only a hope and prayer of a really dominant D winning you a super bowl.

Eh thats just for the moment. Because NFL.com has Lynch with a higher draft grade then Wentz. I dont see him falling past the Rams. I have a good feeling he will be the QB we pick at 4 if they go QB. He has huge potential that can be reached being sat and developed behind a pro bowl QB. We are the only team in the top 10 that will have him graded different due to the uncommon situation of having a high pick but a playoff team if healthy.

Cousins, Hoyer and Foles are all starters. Cook will be as well.

It isn't some kind of puzzle. MSU has been producing NFL QBs.

If you can get one with a 2nd round pick that is huge win.

It isn't some kind of puzzle. MSU has been producing mediocre NFL QBs.

If you can get one with a 2nd round pick that is huge win.

Having been a starting QB at 1 point and being an actual starting NFL QB are 2 different things. Neither Foles or Hoyer will be starters opening week next season. Possibly ever again. They are back ups.

 

[SilverStarCowboy]

Zeke fits the scheme, "the Romo Friendly choice" will continue his upward climb on our board if things go well for him next week at the combine, and dare I say, with Tony healthy, Elliot may be the one Draft piece of the puzzle that secures Dallas as a contender next season.

 

[fishspill]

We sit here at #4 and there are no franchise QBs or elite pass rushers in this draft. Just our luck.

Well there's no no-brainier QBs like Luck but that doesn't mean there's no franchise QBs. Scouts gotta earn this year.

Connor Cook will make me throw up

I'll be in the stall next to you.

 

[KB1122]

Nick Foles played at Arizona.

 

[CCBoy]

Elliot for sure isn't coming to dallas. Unless dallas trades up out of the 2nd and I don't see them doin that for a rb.

I don't think dallas will spend a 1st on a de either so bosa is out also.

Elliott well could be one of the safest picks for Dallas, even if it forces a trade down first for extra picks.

His pass blocking is a huge plus for picking an RB in the top 10, IMO. Im liking more and more this scenario.

I'm betting Hackenberg is the QB Houston will be targeting in the second round.

 

[Plankton]

Nick Foles played at Arizona.

He went to Michigan State for a year, and transferred to Arizona.

 

[Dwight]

I prefer Paxton Lynch over those prospects.

There is no need to entertain and select a cornerback with the fourth pick in the draft. This team has far too many issues with key positions other than CB. Find late round CBs and find some average and affordable ones in free agency.

With Gregory being a total dipwad, I think it's quite possible Dallas could go Bosa at 4 now.

We'll get a decent idea once we see free agency start. If Hardy is gone and with Gregory a pothead, you could see them going Bosa at 4 IMO.
