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

I stopped watching the video after about 4 minutes but the first four minutes weren't very impressive at all. I hope it isn't indicative of what Taco can do.

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

You need to stop reading Joey Dickes and Brandon Mcfool as gospel, they are not scouts.

My first reaction was to be critical but after some reflection, I remembered that we had only 18 guys rated as first round players on our board. We had to pick someone and that person was not going to be rated as a first round guy.

Hopefully he can play a lot. He does not have a twitch, like the guys at NFL network said, but as a rotation guy, he might be able to hit thr QB.

The guy is so slow. No explosion. Just not the type of player we needed. Will not make a difference at all

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.

Mix his height next to Irvin, and that will be some obstacle, beyond the hustle that he will learn. In film, Marinelli will give a negative one if that player is not within 8 feet of the ball when the whistle is blown. Oh, he will learn hustle at a quick pace...and fit the bill, well.

It's not a highlight video, if you knew what to look for, you would have seen it...

I don't think taco is a bad pick. I don't think he was the best prospect at a position of need.
I think there were better prospects at db left.

Honestly I just assumed Taco would have been picked before 28.

Alexander · Apr 28, 2017

Just relieved we did not take McKinley. That scene he pulled was embarrassing.

A Nose Guard Named The Whole Enchilada should complete the front 4.

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.

Passing on Watt for Taco was crazy to me... hopefully someone earned their paycheck and knows something

Taco moves very well for a guy that size. The film shows that. Vicious hands. Serious power. 22 on the wonderlic. I don't think it was a reach. Kevin King would've been a reach.

By definition, King would not have been a reach, but I prefer Charlton

Link? I saw where a bunch of idiot Ohio State fans were calling him that simply because he was an Ohio kid and went to Michigan. I'm sure they changed their tune after this year.

I wonder what the reaction would be around here if that was our pick.

I bet a lot of people would be impressed he was so "passionate".
