Drafted by Cowboys NFL Draft: Day 1 Thread

[Gambit]

I would have preferred a DT but I cant complain about getting quality in the trenches, we freaking need it on both sides of the ball.

Balanced take. Thank you.

 

[BoyzBlaster]

Rusty I think me and you are in the minority, but I love it too. You win in the trenches and our trenches were weak. This helps. It’s not sexy but it helps.

But the defense is putrid

 

[Pabst]

I'm just looking at it as did they get a good player who will help them with their picks.

One pick in and they're 1 for 1. Plug and play starter. Will be a Pro Bowler.

I know it's not sexy and the pick will be panned by most.

Agreed.

 

[Rogerthat12]

Retired as 1 of the best to ever do it that never got to play in a conference championship game…because our front office has no clue what they are doing.

And Booker is a good prospect, but please don’t try to compare him to Zach Martin. Not even comparable

No but we were weak in the trenches, build the trenches is the right move.

Yes, you have noted the last 30 years, does not change the fact you need to win in the trenches.

Not sexy, but a solid pick.

Schotty is doing what he said he wanted...

 

[BrassCowboy]

yeah, but we had that last year with Tyler, Beebe, Martin (well to be fair he missed some games but still feels the same...)


gonna put us in tough spot trying to get a WR and RB in next 2 rounds... Booker doesn't excite me, but I will get over it. long as we don't do it again in next few rounds

 

[IAmLegend]

Falcons gotta go Jalen Walker here, right? They have one of the worst pass-rushes in the league.

 

[Vintage]

Bruger, Kiper, and Jeremiah have Booker #1. Who has Zabel?

Corner store liquor guy. I trust him. He’s legit.

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

LOL

OK Stephen.

Whi said thus?

hiw about Andy Reid...

"Give me a QB, 2 OT, 2 pass rushers, and 2 CBs. Ill figure the rest out"

but what does a 3x SB Champ HOF coach know. MattJames20WhoCares knows better

Maybe next year we'll pick a Long Snapper with our Top 5 pick. LOL

Who the hell says this? Give me your reasoning for this....

If 2014 did a redraft, Martin would be taken in the top 5. This is a ridiculous notion. 12 is near the middle of the first round, the suggestion that a guard can't be taken there is absurd. Just absolute idiot take.

This is completely false and bs.

Well....that's what all the great GMs say: draft for need.

Oh yeah? The Chiefs that have a rapidly decline offensive line that is now making Mahomes look above average? Same offensive line that got him harassed in the latest super bowl?

Your logic is stupid.

Wow.

Just wow.

The Chiefs/Reid suck.....because they only went to 5 SB and win 3 in the past 6 years or so.

I guess the Pats of the last 25 years don't know ow anything either. After all, they didn't win the SB last year.

Keep fluffing ur father Stephen. The results this century speak for themselves.... Jerry OBVIOUSLY know way more than Andy Reid LOL

"Your logic is stupid...duuuhhhhhhh"

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

I can go with Booker if he turns out to be a good solid G. We needed one.

Exactly, and I mocked him to us a few weeks ago. I think he's a solid pick. He isn't exactly Martin, but I like what I see in him. I think Dak will be a lot less dirty, and I think whoever our running back will be will have better success. I, for one, want Kaleb Johnson from Iowa round 2.

 

[Teague31]

yeah, but we had that last year with Tyler, Beebe, Martin (well to be fair he missed some games but still feels the same...)


gonna put us in tough spot trying to get a WR and RB in next 2 rounds...

Zack was a total shell of himself

 

[mrmojo]

so much for Jane's scoop

She was right on wasn't she?

 

[Shannon1]

Most guys had a 2nd round grade on this guy Al Davis central.....

No he is in all top 30 rankings ,that’s false!

 

[DFWJC]

I know the Rams would like Golden
Who knows…

 

[atlantacowboy]

I remember liking the Zach Martin pick and getting crucified on here for it. Might as well stay consistent. I like this pick too.

Guards are not the picks that energize the fan base. I get why we did it. We play in the same division as Philly and their DL. You can't beat Philly if you can't block those guys.

 

[DCwarrior]

The issue isn't the pick itself, per se, but that there was a HUGE STUD at a supposed position of need available that would have been a true difference maker, and we took a solid-but-not-at-that-spot player in Booker.

I'm telling you all...bookmark this...Walker will make the Pro Bowl in his rookie year. Not drafting him is going to be a question we all ask ourselves in 3-4 years. Only if Booker plays out of his mind will we not second-guess this pick.

I agree but we kind of knew JJ wouldn’t pick DT in first round 2 drafts in a row.

 

[CowboyStar88]

Looks like as many as romo did to not make a super bowl

Dak inherited those 3 first rounders, got 3 more plus Cooper Beebe. He still needs weapons unlike Romo.

 

[Rockport]

so much for Jane's scoop

Everything you hear before the draft from “sources” is just a smoke screen.

 

[Tabascocat]

Grant is who I wanted

That was the no-brainer between the two.

 

[ShortRound]

I don’t think any of the Dallas media “experts” had us taking Booker

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Wr/cb or lb in 2nd is my bet

I wouldn't mind that. Especially if it is Schweinsteiger LB UCLA round 2.
