Draft Day ***NFL Draft Day two thread***

[J817]

This is what all the guys complaining about this pick don’t know. He’s a special athlete at TE, is tough and blocks well. The way TE’s are going, no way would he have been there in round 3.

Dallas wanted an athletic TE and they took him.

All y’all guys who are upset are going to love him once the season kicks off.

Plus he’s going to be 25. He’s already going to be in his prime when he starts the season. In year 2 he’ll be a like a 3-4 year vet.

Ha! Told you! We picked the wrong TE but I told you the team was picking one.

 

[Mr_437]

so based on the trend...olu olu,c-michigan in the 3rd...or mike morris,de-michigan.

Let's Go get that Center!

 

[AsthmaField]

Hes basically a pass catching TE with great hands. In line and motion guy. One of the best blocking TE's in the draft. Can handle DE's and can line up in the backfield as a FB.

Nicely done Roy.

 

[nyc-cowboy]

Draft show says we medically flagged Darnell Washington.

Since when did that stop em - especially in the second round. ; )

 

[Western]

Probably a kicker.
Jerry is just outsmarting everyone.

 

[charron]

Consensus is he is a big over reach. Probably could get him in the 5th

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

On the bright side he can't be as bad as Tolbert was last year

 

[kevm3]

I really don't understand what this team is trying to do. I thought we were going to 'run more'. I could understand getting the O line this round and rb the next... or even trying to create an elite defense and get a linebacker. Instead, we get a marginal upgrade over our current TEs and still have a huge hole at o line and backup rb.

 

[Mr_437]

6th best RAS amongst TE’s in the last decade.

I like that, feeling better already.

 

[HungryLion]

The good thing about Schoonmaker is that he is a great athlete and has a HIGH ceiling.

The bad thing is that he is old for a draft pick and his college production was mediocre.

If the cowboys can get him to play to his potential he will be very good.

 

[Sydla]

Now watch the tape and tell me what you see.

That's the thing. I see the scores on his testing. Then I watch him play and I don't see the correlation. Like LaPorta. Great testing numbers. Then watch him play and he looks like Mayer out there, a guy people say isn't athletic enough.

That's very possible. I don't see a reason to knock it before we know. Needed at least one more tight end to compete with Ferguson and Hendershot and we got him.

The only thing I don't like is how we seem to go into the draft dictating what we are going to do instead of letting it dictate, especially in the second round. It was known before the draft even started that we were heavily focused on the tight ends. That can cause you to overlook better players who are available at other positions.

wrong lol

 

[CowboyRoy]

Has CATCH17 given his opinion on Schoonmaker yet? I'd like to know if he is going to suck or not.

All we can do is hope he hated the pick. Seems to have disappeared since the guy he wanted at 1 has dropped into the 3rd round. LOL

 

[DUO_CORE]

No referees have come off the board yet. We should grab a couple in the coming round lol.

 

[fivetwos]

I got my rage out of me.

At least the kid is athletic so there is something to work with there.

I would have gone elsewhere but it is what it is. We needed a TE. We got one. Hope they made the right choice. If they come back with an OG in the 3rd, I can live with it.

I’d bet they saw a significant drop from him to the next TE, and apparently they felt as if they had to have one.

Get Zavala or Bradford in the 3rd and it’s all fine.

 

[Aven8]

The disadvantage we have here is none of us know how McClay and the team scouts have rated any of these players. We all have pet cats that seem like no brainers but nothing is obvious at this stage forward. Last year, many saw Tyler Smith as a reach for the first round.

It takes 2-3 years to judge a draft.

Very true. Hyatt and Sanders etc falling for a reason. One year wonders. Having said that a 2nd for potential is scary. Schultz sucked early but he was a 4th rounder.

 

[dagreat1_87]

Ok. So he got in shape and killed it for his position. Why is no one talking about him. I haven't seen a single position ranking that had him in the top 5 at TE.

Somehow finding Witten in the 3rd round has forever given Jerry the mindset that he is capable of drafting a great TE that wasn't highly ranked

I thought I heard them say he was limited by injury this year.
