My thoughts on the draft so far

[BourbonBalz]

IF (and I emphasize the word IF) Smith returns to form from his injury, we will have had the best draft in the league this year. We will have gotten the top offensive AND defensive players in the entire draft IF Smith gets all the way back. No, he won't play this year, but he sure will pay dividends for years to come IF. Our third and fourth round picks have been very solid. I love this draft IF......

No, you're the guy who'll prize them no matter what they do. Whatever it is will be great!




You keep lying and telling yourself that when the fact is that you can't take any criticisms of 'your Cowboys'.



No, you're the guy who'll praise it no matter what happens. That's well established. That's 'goofier beyond reason'.

Check your brain at the door. Go Cowboys!

It's easier for you to label others as homers than to defend any goofball statement or positions you have. I get it.
Then anyone who doesn't agree with you must be stupid and not be able to use their brain. We all know how much smarter you are then any other fan. After all you made the carefully calculated statement that unless Zeke gets 2k yards rushing per season it was a bad pick. So unless Zeke is the best running back to ever play the game then the Cowboys did the wrong thing.

It's unfortunate for you the Cowboys didn't do what you wanted them to do. They didn't draft the guys you spent so much time YouTube scouting. It stings doesn't it. Are you surprised?

We got 1,800 yards from another running back for 1/3rd of the cap cost and 1/3rd of the draft investment. You either don't know or in your rush to praise, choose to ignore that. Pick one.

But of course, the Super Fans like yourself will have zero expectations and will gladly lap up whatever you get. How dare I have expectations for such a huge investment!

Jokes on you, I'm fine with who they've drafted. But, unlike you, I'm able to see some flaws in the thinking too.

Haha......haha...you are now suddenly fine with who they drafted...
After crying over and over about the draft you now are fine with who they drafted...
In other words you don't really have an argument that is worth defending so now you want to say you are fine with who they drafted...

Oh you are talking about Murray....well funny thing happened...his contract expired and he got paid $8 million per year at 27 and now is on his third team. It's just simple misguided logic to use him as the basis for what he should invest in the position...I guess we should be able to replace Romo for nothing but a non guaranteed rookie free agent contract. See how that works...come on man.

You got called out crying over the draft because they didn't draft your Corner..that or you would have cried no matter who they drafted...which on is it...you choose...just own it.

My 'argument' is and has been with their inconsistant approach. Try to keep up. But in your rush to defend, you don't even know the point.

The "simple misguided logic" is blindly falling in line with whatever they decide to do. Like you do.

Bzzztttt! Wrong answer but keep trying! You don't even know who I wanted, but you'll try and fail to attack me anyway.

Where is the inconsistency?
Your problem isnt their inconsistent approach. You are upset because you bought into the devalue of the RB and now they drafted one #4.

So who did you want?
Hit us with your genius...or do you just hate everyone so that you have a reason to cry.

There's nothing to "buy into". It's not a subject for debate, it's fact. All that's left to do at this point is that hope their overpaying proves worth it.

You go and figure it out. And go do something else while you're at it too...

There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. If that is someone wants to believe, that is their right.

It also doesn't give anyone a reason to beat them up over it also.

Good! Then there also should be "nothing wrong" with anyone thinking otherwise. "If that is what someone wants to believe, that is their right".

"It also doesn't give anyone a reason to beat them up over it also."

Unless there's a blatant double standard.

I'm not seeing some grand 'Master Plan' like some people are trying to convince me of, but rather inconsistancy across the board.

From the end of the season, we've gone from needing to address backup quarterback to not needing to. Suddenly, they're trying to polish up Kellen Moore because they didn't get anyone else.

We had a capped salary for running back, so we weren't going over it for Murray or Lamar Miller. But then, that goes out the window for Elliott. Even after the team had already acquired Alfred Morris.

And most recently, the team officially closes the door on Greg Hardy, after two days where they don't draft a defensive end, following news of both projected starters being suspended for the first month of the season.

And the draft so far has gone from 'biggest impact in 2016' (Elliott) to no impact in 2016 (Smith).

I don't want to hear about any 'plan' when it's obvious they don't have one.

I don't know about a "master plan", but I think it's obvious that the focus is on the next five years, rather than just "win now".

Personally love the Zeke pick. Not because it takes the pressure off of Romo, per se. He's a big boy, and can handle the pressure just fine. Zeke DOES take the pressure off a backpack, which could be huge when you take Romo's frailty into consideration.

Despite the fact that it doesn't help for the coming year, I love the Smith pick, too. Knowing Dr. Cooper did his surgery tells me that he believes he'll eventually become the player he was supposed to be prior to injury.

I'm cool with the DL picks, too. The only one I'm "iffy" about is Prescott, but we'll know before too long whether he's going to work out or not. If he doesn't, I'm hopeful we can move on and draft another QB while Romo still has tread on the tires.

Well soon see...

Typical. I figured you just wanted to cry.

 

[Rick_Deckard]

If thats the case why did they try and trade for Paxton Lynch? Swing and a miss.

To get the 5th year option on a QB who needs to sit and learn for at least 2 years.

 

[T-RO]

I see one consistent theme throughout this draft. And that theme?
Random Scatter Shot

They were quite consistent with it.

And they sure took care of the Romo window, nabbing 3-4 guys who can't play next year...or quite likely the year after.

Quite a draft.
