IM going to toot my own horn for a minute lol. I said just a couple days ago the guys it seemed they were looking at first were Takkarist and Taco. And how ATL jumped Dallas and who wound up in Dallas i think it was dead on.

I keep telling this forum listen and read what the owners say and pay attention to these first visits. Because thats pretty much the priority of their board. This team is probably the only honest franchise in sports these days. They do what they say and stay on that line. The same approach they take with their players is the same approach they take with their business side and scouting.

Getting to Taco, i hear alot about how he's slow off the snap and his 40 time. Im sorry but you people have absolutely no clue on what ur talking about. Charlton is very quick off the snap and you see that when his job is to just go after the QB. But Michigan plays the read react with the weakside. Meaning he's going to read the RB or QB depending if the RB is on the opposite side before going in. Its called containing the edge. He's raw with 1 yr starting, but he has moves on moves already. With what Dallas has and what they want to do, he was the right guy for this team. NO tweener type that Dallas has but a legit DE with the skills to get after the QB.

Watch this and you see just how disruptive he is from both sides

You made me feel a little better after reading Joey Ickes' and a couple other Cowboys bloggers thoughts on twitter.

Biggest concern on Taco is his motor. His size was apparent from beginning.

Taco in every video on draft breakdown shows him running down plays. Nothing is wrong with his motor. He wasnt the guy i wanted but he's very good value. Its hard to hate this pick, other then him not being the guy we as fans wanted.

So you are going with the Mike Fisher approach to predictions and reporting I see.
No there are more posts i talk about this. IM not saying i know who the team is picking, those that read my posts know i joke and kidd but all i do is read and listen to what the team says and does. And you get a pretty good idea on what they want to do.

Until today I never mentioned Taco as a potential pick.

Today I agreed with XWalker in a post where he said Taco was a potential pick.

Tomorrow I will claim I called it back in February.

Several years from now, I will tell people in a bar that I AM TACO CARLTON.

his nickname with scouts was "soft taco" because he took off long stretches of plays. Personally, I would take guy with relentless motor to get to QB and would had gone with Watt.
