FFS people, its 2019, learn by now.

we arent in it to win it. accept it and move on.

JJ and SJ are ahead of the curve, as long as the stadium mkes money, they are solid.

I agree, they could have made a move to get a player they liked. But I won’t say should have. As we just never know.
At the end they valued their picks, and as it turned out, valued getting 2 more picks, so it was 8 picks vs 5 picks, if it only cost them one pick to move up.

But if it was going to cost them 2 picks, either this year or one this year and one next. I can see why they did what they did.
But say only one pick this year, I wish they would have. To get one of those players and they still could have got Jackson, Wilson, Weber too. As I don’t think they needed the 2 DE’s.

Remember they do not have a 6th round 2020 pick, for the Quinn trade. So they was not going to trade away another pick.
As I read the team liked several players when it was their pick, but not one so great over others on the board that they could get by moving down a little.

Overall I think the draft turned out decent. Not spectacular like we always want, but not a disaster either.
We all look at it differently. Like I said I don’t like the 2 DE picks, but another person may like them.
Not saying i disagree but when they announced Jelks they said LB. Not sure how he projects to a 4-3 LB but perhaps he will play LB that can help at DE if needed. Personally i didn't think they would draft DE.

i really liked the 2nd and 3rd round picks. the value based approach made sense because it was known that it was a deep draft to about player 100.

but look at what happened after the 3rd round. the cowboys did not trade up even though the top half of the 4th round had better players that people wanted. and everyone knew that including all the teams. instead they kept sitting around again wanting to keep all their picks. while one may say that it was too expensive to trade up, that was simply not true. the patriots even traded ahead of cowboys in the 3rd with a 5th and a 2020 4th. imagined if cowboys got damien harris that was along with their picks...

players were traded ahead of the cowboys' #128 pick for pollard. in fact, picks 104, 109, 111, 114, 116.

even after cowboys' #128, others traded up before cowboys' 2nd 4th round pick, for example atlanta traded for #135 to take DE cominsky.

imagine if cowboys traded for picks to take rb damien harris and cb johnson while giving up their 2nd 4th, 5th and both 7th picks and perhap a 5th from 2020. their 2019 draft would be hill, mcgovern, rb harris, pollard, s hooker (or cb johnson). this draft would have been much more exciting.

» 2019 fifth-round (No. 157; select LB Blake Cashman)

Denver trades for player

Broncos receive:
» 2019 sixth-round (No. 212; trade to Panthers)
» LB Dekoda Watson

49ers receive:
» 2019 fifth-round (No. 148; select LB Dre Greenlaw)

Rams trade up to draft DT

Rams receive:
» 2019 fourth-round (No. 134; select DT Greg Gaines)
» 2019 seventh-round (No. 243; select S Nick Scott)

Patriots receive:
» 2019 fifth-round (No. 162; trade to Minnesota)
» 2019 fifth-round (No. 167; trade to Philadelphia)

Atlanta trades up

Falcons receive:
» 2019 fourth-round (No. 135; select DE John Cominsky)

Raiders receive:
» 2019 fourth-round (No. 137; select TE Foster Moreau)
» 2019 seventh-round (No. 230; select DE Quinton Bell)

Basically after the 3rd round the draft completely fell apart for them. So they just picked a few guys they sorta liked whether it was good value or not.

I missed where they said LB. I just seen something about DE or on the screen.
But that could be like the Kyle wilber hybrid type pick. They moved him around like that.
Something to keep a look out for.

Absolutely. Maybe its a way to keep him on the roster, great point about Wilber by the way. I wanted Holcomb the LB from UNC in the draft. LB needs some more depth.

Smith, Leighton, Lee, Thomas, Queiro, Covington, March-Lillard are decent but need something else there. Queiro and Covington are both going into second year but were projects that needed developing. I like Queiro the most but thought he would be a safety.

Did anyone move down?

Did the Cowboys sign 5-7 players UDFA who were on their draft board?
