As some of you know, I didn't particularly like this draft and for many reasons, I'll try to be brief.
I hope we don't ever host a draft again in Dallas or Arlington (whatever) For the commissioner to come out with 3 former Cowboy greats to shield himself from the boos only to call out the fans for booing our own Cowboys. Ridiculous!!
Then to have a stupid Eagle Kicker clowning us like that really pissed me off, especially seeing that was one of the highest trending tweets in the world.
So the 1st round kicks off, I immediately get bombed by calls from a ton of relatives that I have from NY, telling me Saquon....Say Gone yadda yadda ...personally, I was hoping the Giants took a QB there, I really didn't want them getting Barkley and to compound that they got Will Hernandez with their next pick UGHH.
So as the 1st round picks are clicking off, we are suddenly 2-3 picks away from Derwin James, Edmunds, Ridley, Moore, and Rashan Evans, in the back of my mind I kept saying no way we are taking Vander Esch now...but Nooooo....Edmunds and James go off boom boom, and then we're on the clock and we have Drew and Irvin up there parading around for a WR and we go LVE ughh.
As for the picks themselves well here is my assessment of it.
Overall Grade C-
1. Leighton Vander Esch - D - Ever go into drafting hoping we don't draft a particular player and boom he's your first pick. I hope I'm wrong about Barbie 2.0, I would've like Evans better.
2. Connor Williams - B+ Williams can do the job at LG, but you don't have to invest such a high resource at LG people...example Leary was an UDFA.
3. Michael Gallup - C+ We passed on a lot of other better WR's in this draft, Gallup isn't the best or worst prospect, at best he is a WR2.
4. Dorance Armstrong - D Never heard of him, don't care for the player either, terrible pick in the 4th
4. Dalton Schultz - C+ at best he is Hanna, I doubt he is the future TE going forward
5. Mike White - C+ Luke Falk was sitting right there and we took White instead, Don't know the player that well. I really don't mind the pick as I'm not very high on Rush, I still feel a veteran QB should be signed before the season starts.
6. Tavon Austin - B if we can use him like the Skins use Thompson and use him on special teams I think its a good fit for us.
6. Chris Covington - D I really don't know what to say, we passed on better LB's, hopefully, a decent special teamer?
6. Cedrick Wilson - C headed to the PS, maybe sticks as a returner
7. Bo Scarborough - A Best player we got in this whole draft, would be great if he used similar to how the Pats and Eagles use Blount, he should help out on short yardage situations and get some goal line work so as we dont have to get Zeke killed all game long.
