Drafted by Cowboys NFL Draft: Day 3 thread

[Paperbag]

Jaydon Blue 4.38 at the combine but under 4.3 at his Pro day

With our FO
They will try and get him to gain 20 pounds and to be a power back

Stupid trade to get this guy

Really? Did you know him before he got drafted? Wasn't he a team captain and had a good senior bowl?

 

[gimmesix]

pick 204 needs to be 1-Tech Thor Griffith or Slot/FS Jordan Hancock. Need to start listening, and quit reaching for scrub linebackers.

Forgot about Thor. I'd like that. Would prefer Horsley or Stackhouse, though.

Cuz this was a dumb trade for a player they could have gotten later. We need DT (1T) way more than lb since we picked up 2 LB that were starters in FA. Trades are fine, but not dumb ones.

They need both. But. LB more than DT. What DT would they take at this point that will be better than what they have.
LB they can take and replace a current one.

 

[gimmesix]

oh look, the Sheagles just got a better linebacker too.

Yep. Hope our scouts know something that we don't.

 

[BoyzBlaster]

You never know with these RB’s.

Blue is similar to Jahmyr Gibbs on paper.

#1 Back coming out of Highschool.

Like 20 lbs lighter though.

 

[stilltheguru]

Like 20 lbs lighter though.

They are the same size lol. Just stop

Blue is a great pick. Only 21 and an early entry.

Next I want Tahj Brooks 5'10 230 lbs and a grinder.

 

[dstew60105]

Yep. Hope our scouts know something that we don't.

UGA linebacker was always injured

 

[BoyzBlaster]

Love how this draft was deep at DT, a position of perpetual weakness for us, and we come away with none in the first 5 rounds.

It's simultaneously unbelievable and typical for these morons.

 

[Mikexike]

Yep. Hope our scouts know something that we don't.

Or jerry finally letting stephen put his stamp on the draft.

 

[bleachedwheat]

Yep. Hope our scouts know something that we don't.

He is young and has the speed. If they can train him up, he might make an impact in 2027.

 

[davey999]

When do we get our Quinton Bohanna?

 

[kiheikiwi]

Ok, honest assessment - I'm underwhelmed with our draft, with 1 6th and 3 7th round picks left. I'm not expecting much. Like the guard, like the edge, not sure about another injured corner. Meh on Blue. What the ! On trading up for the LBer.
It's not a bad draft - i hope, but I certainly don't have the warm and fuzzies at all.

 

[cowboyec]

excellent pick by steelers.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

LOL at least get your facts straight.. Gibbs 203, Blue 201

And Blue is a bit taller. Couple of inches.

 

[BoyzBlaster]

They are the same size lol. Just stop

Woops I was looking at his rank not weight.

 

[MikeT22]

Supposedly some Dallas scouts had Jaydon Blue as RB3 3 in this draft.

That would explain alot about the team then

 

[bleachedwheat]

Steelers are going to play Black as a 3-4 5-tech. I would have thought they would play him at NG in that system. He is massive, kind of strange to play him as a DE.

6'1 222 LB?
That's not big

Example
"

Shemar James LB, FLA​

OVR RK: 277 • POS RK: 24 • HT: 6-1 • WT: 222

LB who looks like a built safety. Super-smooth movements on the field. He plays much more athletically than his workout. Smooth hip flips in coverage and has plus route-recognition skills. Just not a natural ball skills type. Has severely tackling reliability issues too. Those nuances are likely why he was still available yet the upside is undoubtedly there.

Tackling liability and LB?????
