Draft Day ***NFL Draft Day One Thread***

[RustyBourneHorse]

the pick was too low to pick a qb, this wasnt a good qb draft imo. there are others still left they can get later.

Exactly, and there are some later ones that they have scouted. Plus, I think the class is better next year, not to mention that there is an out for June 1 next year.

 

[DandyDon52]

as for mazi, is he a day one starter?
can he stop that phil qb sneak?
need to see if he can do those 2 things.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds058]

Haha, perhaps. In fact, it was December of that year. So, yes, naturally, I wouldn't have been able to see what he was like. Hence, wondering who our last really good NT was. It'd be amazing if it was about 30 years ago.

It would be Glover without a doubt and we also got Ferguson from the Jets, they were pretty good together.

I forgot about Ferguson. He was pretty good. So yeah, it probably has been at least a decade since we've had one. Probably between 10-15 years ago.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS I'm with Michael Parsons on that!!!

I need to see them stop it first.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Heck the lions and Texans look like they had a good night on teams with 2 picks.

I'm not so sure about the Texans. I thought their second pick was a headscratcher. Especially with what they gave up.

That must be a surprise to the teams that took quarterbacks in 3 of the first 4 picks.

 

[DandyDon52]

Well the team that Wins Superbowls (KC) wanted to move up for Mazi Smith ....... but we took him instead.

well kc took another de, so it is possible they called dallas saying they wanted mazi, can we trade with you?

But really it was disinformation , and so that got dallas to take mazi, instead of the guy kc actually wanted.

I just wonder could mazi have been had in the 2nd round?
If quinn was high on mazi, then using 26 on him is ok.

I thought Taco at first, but upon looking at it, Mazi doesn't really strike me as that type. Mazi is very athletic and has suitable size for his position. He doesn't have work ethic concerns like with Trystan Hill. I think his biggest issue seems to be some technique stuff, which hopefully Quinn can correct. Mazi didn't look great during the TCU game, but overall, he seems to play tough and isn't a finessy type of player. I think Quinn is really trying to build a wholistic defense and it's encouraging to see the front office actually listening and drafting football players instead of just the sexy names

One of the freakiest athletes to come out this year too did 22 reps of 325!!

 

[Austin 3-16]

Jalen Carter to the Eagles!!!

 

[Jimbo123]

The eagles took an undersized linebacker…. And a guy with a potential questionable motor in carter. Could they be superstars? Idk…. But they aren’t locks to become anything. They have flaws as well.

People have cried for 3 years here we don’t have a true NT. Hurts and the eagles in particular took advantage of this last year. Now we do.

Would you trade your true NT for the guy with a potentially questionable motor?

 

[Cowboys1966]

Not their best starters. They just picked the fastest DE in the draft and the best player in the draft. If you can't see what they are doing and why it's better than what we are doing , you should go work in the Dallas FO. You'll fit right in.

Look, the Carter pick was obviously a great pick...because the Eagles had a high 1st round pick. Nolan smith, however, is a situational pass rusher with no pass rushing production in college. He's grotesquely overrated.

 

[DandyDon52]

true, just a matter of opinion, lets see how they turn out.

the eagles did the qb sneak thing on every team they played, so dont know if mazi can stop that. wait and see.

 

[Beast_from_East]

True , but we have DEs no girth in the middle , now with Hankins, Osa and Mazi , the interior will hold , Micah , Sam , Dorance, Dlaw and Dante can attack like crazy. I thought Jerry wont do that, kudos for going Trenches

I am loving these picks the past 2 years, beef up the offensive line last year and now beef up the defensive line this year.

This is how you build a great team, from the trenches out in the first round.

I would have thrown up if we would have taken a dam TE in the first.

 

[Beast_from_East]

No....they were caught with their pants down, because the Bills stole our pick because our FO can't keep their damn mouths shut.

Good point, but I didnt want a dam TE in the freaking 1st round so the Bills stealing Kincaid was a blessing in disguise.

The Bills saved us from ourselves.
