Draft Day ***NFL Draft Day Three thread***

[RustyBourneHorse]

And the sky is falling and this team is currently in a 'rebuilding' phase. The board isn't happy...go figure.

I'm happy with the pick.

RBs can be found later all day everyday remember? KC found theirs in the 7th tom brady the 6th Purdy last player taking i mean UDFA Rbs can be had..

In the last 20 years years there have been only 4-5 7th round RBs of any note

 

[Whyjerry]

Only thing I can come up with is that the plan is for Tyler Smith to be LG. Relying on Tyron health is not smart.

Not smart? It’s worse than that. Maybe Peters is on board for another year. I could live with that.

When you have Mahomes as your QB then you can take 7th round RBs.

Jerry said they are planning to bring in a lot of free agents. What a plan!

They always do, so what.
they usually have 10 to 15 roster spots to fill to get to the 90.

Guys one thing to remember that at this point in the draft all the players' scouting grades are so close anybody can be the pick.

And when you grade this draft for the Cowboys remember they turned two 5ths into Gilmore and Cooks. Can't lose sight of that.

So you have a bunch of corners on rental contracts. Trice or Rush isn’t better?

Izzy doesn’t boost the speed in the backfield?

Charlie Jones doesn’t make our receiver room better?

It just seems every pick so far has been only what they want to do. Not a single player has been close to being the best available guy.

Fehoko just don’t do much to help us here. He’s likely 2-3 years away from producing. It just feels like a Bradlee Anae type pick

So they are counting on Smith to play 17 games at LT? Really? Not much of a plan.

Nope, they are relying on Waletzko to be the swing. From what I’ve seen in his limited snaps and from the FO’s messaging he seems to be at a place where he can handle the job.

The key to the OL isn’t the starting LG like many of us thought, it’s swing T.

Not saying that it’s going to work, but they are the ones who see Wally. If they have determined he’s a real swing then we are 10 deep at OL without a day 3 IOL pick.

There’s logic there it’s just dependent on the swing.

Aka bargain bin shopping. I don't want lots of FAs. I want GOOD ones

 

[gimmesix]

Also a 2024 4th….don’t make it sound better than what it was. And a swap of 7ths.
For a RB that doesn’t replace Miles Sanders.

The only plus is that this is another move by Philly where they are just replacing someone who was already great for them. The Eagles are holding ground. Unfortunately, the ground they are holding is Super Bowl ground.

 

[Whyjerry]

What backs are still out there? Just from the board sounds like all of OL are gone.

Evans, Tucker, McBride, IA…some good options.

Fehoko pushes Fowler off the roster?

Coaches see him as future DT

I don't think Fehoko makes this roster.

 

[Risen Star]

Viliami Fehoko EDGE, SJST​

Height: 6-4, Weight: 276

Grade: A

Advanced rusher who's strong and has a thick EDGE frame. Multiple years of high-level productivity. Athleticism is a little concerning. Love the depth at the position for Dallas here. (Chris Trapasso)

Bathe in it, haters.

 

[CowboyFrog]

They see him as a pas rusher inside this year on passing downs youll probably see he and Tank push inside.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Don't know how fans can hate picks before they even put on a helmet.

All these guys the experts are gushing over now can turn into busts. Even the untouchable Eagles aren't immune from this possibility.

 

[CowboyinMD]

I don't think Fehoko makes this roster.

I'll take that bet.

I am trying to convince myself Peters told Jerry that he’ll show up in August.

275-280 seems light at the 3

Sadly I don't even understand what they are trying to do. Like who is Overshown going to overtake? Who is Fehoko going to replace? The Mazi pick makes sense, but I don't really see how the other guys drafted will make a huge impact. We better hope that the TE is Witten 2.0

 

[31RoyW31]

Armstrong replacement for his departure next year. Similar type guys.

Exactly!
