My Post Draft Thoughts

[CowboyChris]

Only Armstrong and Covington?

The only picks you liked were Williams and Scarbrough - Texas and Alabama (big surprise) - so I can remind you about all of the rest. But since I won't remember this thread next week you don't have to concern yourself with that happening.

your whole premise is stupid, find someone to play patty cake with

Hard to take you seriously when this is your analysis:

4. Dorance Armstrong - D Never heard of him, don't care for the player either, terrible pick in the 4th

So you never heard of him, how is it possible to give him a D then? You realize how ignorant that statement is?

I've never seen you around here before

F for your analysis

As Richard Sherman said after the win against the niners " Is this a joke".

nope, your premise was unless they played for a major college like Alabama or Texas, I wouldn't know the player. You are quickly trying to hide behind that stupid comment you made.

the fact was I didn't know the player, I did look him up and came away unimpressed.

Care to tell me what I am missing with him?

That wasn't me that posted what you are referring to.

But I do agree what @Jake said though.

I like this draft overall on paper. BUT...never judge a draft in April on paper. Let’s all check back in a couple of years. Some of these guys are going to be good and some aren’t. And frankly, none us know who it will be yet.

 

[reddyuta]

Luke Falk? Give me a break.

At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Head nod of approval because of ur honesty, not ur take although I do agree with u about Barbie Carpenter 2. Let me add this in case u not hipp. BC2 & LVE numbers in measurables are very similar to each other. It's just not a comparison because of the obvious. It really is a side by side comparison. The only difference is Barbie actually played more seasons & had more on tape to evaluate. Look it up if ur thinking this is some type of bit I'm doing. Put it like this, it's scary how identical their numbers are to each other.

I assume this is combine stats you're referring to? The stats from college dont seem to be close at all.

We loved in when Drew did it but hurt now that Akers did it? We need to take it if we dish it out, just part f the fun of being a fan.

Drew's presentation was MUCH, Much cooler. Not saying that because I'm a Cow fan either. Akers sounded like a 3rd grader riding his bike away from a bully, screaming pseudo insults.

 

[Oh_Canada]

Gotta be a troll job.

Otherwise why would you “hate” the the fourth rounder while admitting you never heard of him?

 

[Ccijcladac]

I assume this is combine stats you're referring to? The stats from college dont seem to be close at all.

Only because of the tackles & that's skewed if you really take a look at it. LVE had like 141 while Barbie had like 96 but what u have to take into consideration is Barbie played@ Ohio State along with A.J hawk, I wanna say katzenmeyer but I could be wrong. Nevertheless he had other NFLers in his own position group & LVE is the only person from his defense that was selected. Bobby had more tackles for loss with 10& half to LVE 8. Both had the same amount of FF forced fumbles LVE with 4, Barbie 3, Barbie had interceptions LVE didn't plus Barbie had a larger amount of production & comes from a football playing family. LVE dosent, he doesn't even have brothers but his two sisters played Volleyball. So idk can u tell me where all world LVE numbers are. I mean u say there not close which is false but maybe I'm missing something. Now ask yourself this, whatever the numbers & measurables say wasn't u prepared to support and say anything that he did was going to be great because the Cowboys picked him & doggone it if the Cowboys selected him then he has to be good.... U think ur more in that mold of thinking so I can understand why u think he's going to be Luke Kuechly, I've just seen this all before & I'm here to inform u he's more Barbie Carpenter than he is Luke Kuechly

Lol you can tell you are judging this draft based on what Mel Kiper or Mayock have said. You are judging players you haven't even seen play. The worst type of poster.

 

[Rockport]

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.

You, nor I, have no idea how these players are going to turn out. So your predicted negative reaction means absolutely NOTHING!

 

[GMO415]

One of the best LBs and he gets a D???...I stopped reading the rest of the BS.

Personal agenda driven analysis. The Cowboys didn't do what you thought they should so you graded down for that. Suddenly you know what is better for them than you do? I very highly doubt that.

For example, you've never heard of a player so you give him a D? What kind of analysis is that?

Here's another example, "Luke Falk was sitting right there and we took White instead." Did you bother to figure out why the Cowboys thought White was better than Falk was?

Also it sounds like your pretty sore about all the non-draft stuff that only drives your grade down.

Take the phone calls and personal agenda and emotion out of it and try again. Look into each pick and why the Cowboys did what they did. What each pick brings to the team. Who they will be replacing on the roster and if that is an upgrade.

I think you will see what most do - this is a solid draft. There is no question the 53 has been improved. And the Cowboys are a better team now than they were last Thursday before the draft.
