Mel: This is a bad draft

[Risen Star]

And Todd agrees.

 

[Rayman70]

Im not enamored with the QB'S I agree with that much but hes wrong painting everyone as bad. Its loaded at receiver,rb and tightend. QB is lacking badly. Levis isnt very great. I don't see a rd 1 worthy QB.

 

[Rayman70]

Clayton Tune QB. Remember that name. Watch his film. He is better than 95% of the QB's ahead of him.

 

[RS12]

Hearing that a lot. I suggested trading out of the first for a first next year which is likely to be a better draft, definitely with better QBs. That would take creativity and possible move out of the middle though. Not likely here.

 

[Vinnie2u]

Blah Blah. I don't believe it. Even if the talent isn't there, the same number of guys are going to make a NFL team.. Pick the best of the worst..

 

[WhizKid]

I think there is an argument this draft is deep at RB and CB. That's it. I'm all for a trade down to a later 1st or an early 2nd and picking up another 3rd. Have some ammo to trade back up if someone falls.

 

[Acceptablename]

IThis draft strength is our ,need

 

[big dog cowboy]

In Will McClay I trust.

At 26, TRADE DOWN!

 

[Pass2Run]

And Todd agrees.

I disagree. If you stay put and take a RB later on, things seem to fall your way. There's a way to add some serious weapons and fill some holes.

What's bad is the rankings. Lots of bad rankings/projections, thanks to people like Mel.

Still trying to sort it out, but I think this years' rankings are off more than usual, so far.

I'm 100% with you. It's like no man's land. You can trade down, stack picks and really make out in this draft, imo.

You have guys like Emmanuel Forbes and Kelee Ringo, so you could drop, and pick up 2 in the 2nd, plus a pick in the 3rd and get better value, fill several needs, like OT, OG, LB, WR, DT, RB.

 

[Risen Star]

Blah Blah. I don't believe it. Even if the talent isn't there, the same number of guys are going to make a NFL team.. Pick the best of the worst..

So because the same number of players will be drafted that means it isn't a weak draft?

Wouldn't that also mean there's no such thing as a strong draft?

 

[atlantacowboy]

I agree with Mel. Though there is depth at some positions. Terrible draft for WR which is why we should send picks in this draft to Carolina for DJ Moore.

 

[cnuball21]

For blue chippers and QBs yes, for depth no.

This class actually matches up really well to our needs IMO. Loaded at CB, RB, OL and DE.

WR is pretty meh.

Or trade that pick for a player

 

[gtb1943]

Any draft that does not have a batch of highly regarded QB prospects and WR prospects is considered a bad draft.

But the meat and potatoes of any football team can be increased in this draft. Linemen especially are abundant.

 

[ThatJerryKid]

More reason to trade up. Package some picks and come out with 3 potential starters. Don’t sit back and think you’re gonna find gems in rounds 4-7.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Sounds like it could be another special teams draft

Sounds like it could be another special teams draft

The moment I heard that I knew it was going to be terrible; We had an O line getting old and losing FA's at other positions and the clown show just ignored that.
IF we had done nothing but draft linemen both O and D that could have been a good draft.

 

[CowboyoWales]

I agree with Mel. Though there is depth at some positions. Terrible draft for WR which is why we should send picks in this draft to Carolina for DJ Moore.

$25m CAP and loss of draft picks...at least with that salary Carolina can't demand a 1st RD

 

[fivetwos]

-I want a powerhouse guard early. Can start at LG for now (depending on the Smiths), take over for Zack when he quits (let’s be ahead of that, unlike Fred)

-A RB semi early, and another late.

-Maybe a 4th-5th round developmental QB.

Other than that, a smaller, shifty slot WR type may help Dak. Not sure why they never replaced Beasley.
