Drafted by Cowboys NFL Draft: Day 1 Thread

[Zman5]

I bet all you crybabies were made at drafting Martin too

And the Fredbeard pick.

Eagles drafted an injured linebacker LOL

lol. They got a better player than we did 19 picks later.

 

[Cowboys1966]

High risk, high reward pick right there

Low risk high reward. In other words… High floor high ceiling.

Those upset about the Eagles pick of Campbell he fell not only because of the injury, but because of poor instincts. He's a talented player, but he doesn't see the field well.

I think he’s going to be Hassan Reddick 2.0. You don’t guess much when you’re rushing the passer.

And the Fredbeard pick.

Travis Frederick got drafted at #31 at the very end of the 1st round. Completely different than 12th overall. Even Zack Martin wasn't drafted that high (16th overall), and he was faster, stronger and more athletic than Tyler Booker (only 21 bench reps @ 225 lbs and a 5.38 seconds 40 time. This time was the second-worst among offensive linemen who ran the 40. His 10-yard split was 1.96 seconds, the slowest among all participants) who was rated to be drafted no higher than early in the 2nd round.

I agree, but one pick at a time. I’m hoping we address the front 7 moving forward in this draft. We need physicality on the D Line. I like this pick cuz it gives us physicality on the O line, now we got to return the favor to the D line.

Agreed but my concern is you do get what you pay for in the draft usually. Meaning if they go DL in rounds 3 or later you are probably getting a good role player at best, and they need better than that.

Walter Nolan would have been a nice addition to one of the worst defenses in Cowboy history.

Agreed Nolen was the pick

Might want to read your post then again.

It says 25 years. And 2.5 years is a weird number. Me thinks you got caught saying something silly and now are trying to reel it back in.

Ligjten up Francis.

Why did the Chicken cross the road?

LOL, the irony here is awesome.

Someone going to need some DT to fight all these Tackles

 

[Ranching]

Ok.....wait a minute, i thought we need to win in the trenches?

Doesn't matter who we picked, they'd still be whining

Booker is a good in-line OG. He’s not super athletic and he’s not going to be great getting to the second level but he’ll do well in a power scheme. If I was Dallas and I was set on interior OL I would’ve tried to move back and then get either Booker or Zabel further back in the draft.
Decent pick, not great value.

 

[Teague31]

Did we ever hear what the Houston trade details were?

Agree to disagree. I don't dislike Dart as a prospect, but Sanders is pro ready.

Pro ready? After basically throwing swing passes his college career?

No accuracy and no vision.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

I miss the old set up where you had the first 3 rounds on the first day.

All this build up today for 1 pick.

greedy nfl.

You just proved my point. Even though Fredbeard was picked much later yet people still complained People will complain no matter what.

One of his issues, as has been oft reported, is his coddling and demeanor. Many expert say it's NOT pro ready, not even rookie ready. They say he's in for a shock which may effect his career.

I'm not convinced he's physically read either.

The thing is to not put it all in one basket. People will complain sure...and many don't as well.

Not I......I have no issue whatsoever in using this pick to shore up the trenches.
