It wouldn't surprise me. He fits Quinn cover 3 perfect and has ball skills. If this defense is fast and disruptive that gets turnovers I'm ok with a corner getting beat at times. Almost every pick they made on defense with these 5 picks are fast. They have a plan and sticking to it. I'm willing to give them a chance, can't be worst than last year
high energy the theme of the night.

I agree Wright was a reach, but it's clear the Cowboys wanted him so I guess it doesn't matter if they took him at 99 or at 238. I'm sure there's still plenty of players left on their board they will still be able to get with their two 4th round picks tomorrow- if they land a big DT like Nixon or Shelvin I'll forget all about Wright pick.

Yeah....maybe I'm over-reacting to the Wright pick...If we hit that pick.....damn....our draft isn't looking too shabby. Like I was saying.....if we come back tomorrow...in the 4th w/ Marvin Wilson DL Florida St....then maybe we add a few more pieces....then maybe this won't turn out to be so bad.

No matter what Cowboys refuse to draft a 1tech or S in a premium round.
There were five defensive tackles taken in the first three rounds. The Cowboys were one of the five teams to do so.

Of those five picks, only one was a 1-tech and he was taken before the Cowboys third overall pick. Alim McNeil was ranked as the 80th best player across a 50 draft board average, as compiled by The Athletic

McNeil went at #72 to the Lions. The Cowboys took DT Osa Odighizuwa three picks later at 75

Would you have taken Alim McNeil at 44, the Cowboys 2nd round pick?

I think it’s easy for fans to say “we should have taken soandso!” But in some cases, it’s not even a real person they want, but rather a mystery player that doesn’t exist

There are no “premium” 1-techs this year. It’s a historically weak DT draft class.

Expecting any team to magically create a player out of thin air is easy.

They could've taken a stab at it in the 3rd, or traded back up into the 2nd, but noooooo. They decided to toss those 3 3rd rounders up into the wind and just see where they landed.
See my post just above

Where was Barmore in comparison to Joseph....Osa? This was monumentally bad

We supposedly had the best draft in years last year.

The result = 6-10.

I don't think we could be worse than that this year, even with all of these "so called" 7th rounders.

.............I think it’s easy for fans to say “we should have taken soandso!” But in some cases, it’s not even a real person they want, but rather a mystery player that doesn’t exist

See post 1429 by Cowboyec.........there were several available DTs rated higher than the one we took, plus we could've tried trading up with those extra 3rd rounders.
Besides that, failing the DL didn't just start this year, it's been a long standing problem. That's one reason our defense is in the basement.

But granted, you're correct that this has not been a prime year for DTs.

Lol quit with the list man. Nobody have any of the 3 picks in round 3. Better start digging in the UDFA bin for round 4

Not an attack on you. Just ridiculous how they’ve drafted

This conference has a vibe like they knew they could've traded and probably should've but now let's spin it into we got who were really wanted.
That’s my issue. I’m ok with not trading up and losing your guys stinks (Surtain, Moehrig, Williams). But landing the dudes we did? You can’t justify not trading and just loading up on junk picks
