He’s more then that though.
He’s more offensive weapon than just tailback.
We realistically need a quarterback but we aren’t getting a legit QB.

A guy like Brents or one of the the South Carolina corners would be better value then a defensive tackle. I would love to have Mazi Smith or Benten but they are not making it to 58. All of our corners will be free agents but Bland, Joseph, and Wright. Even that secondary would scare you let alone the Joneses.Over every other position?
Where will this corner play this year? Would he be the 4th CB? 5th? How many do we need to where you guys finally are at least hoping for a DT?
I haven’t watched any of Murphy but McDonald’s legit. Like high high upside.DE, ok I can see that. But I'd say it's a bit shocking that Van Ness and Murphy were still on the board and they took McD instead. I question if he's ranked higher than them on anyone's board.
Van Ness is overrated.I will take Murphy but i am not a fan of Clemson guys.DE, ok I can see that. But I'd say it's a bit shocking that Van Ness and Murphy were still on the board and they took McD instead. I question if he's ranked higher than them on anyone's board.
yeah I get what people see in him and think he can be disruptive, but I question whether or not he will be able to do that against NFL OTs consistently, if he can be a run stopper at all and if his body can hold up against those same OTs. That's why I wonder if they'd pass on Van Ness or Murphy for him.I haven’t watched any of Murphy but McDonald’s legit. Like high high upside.
I just don’t think he’s the difference between winning and losing a game like San Fran last year when we desperately needed someone that would be easy to get the ball to that could make a play since our QB went deer in the headlights mode.
Johnston would be amazing on this team.I’m pretty much okay (or can rationalize) with almost anyone at #26 besides Q. Johnston or Kancey.

He played outstanding in a crap scheme.One of my least-favorite possibilities at 26. Just so little to separate him from some of the guys projected to go later, and little room for physical development.
Terrific college player, I'm not debating that. But he's Vic Beasley. There's a ceiling there, and it's not a terrible pick if he hits it right away and can maintain for a few years, but that just seems really unlikely.He played outstanding in a crap scheme.
But he is 24 so he likely will be maxed out in a year or two physicality wise
You basically are describing randy Gregory. The guy fans were whining about not resigning. He turned 30 last year. And Gregory got bigger so why can McDonald?Terrific college player, I'm not debating that. But he's Vic Beasley.

Even if he does, it's going to be difficult to make him a franchise type of player when he's going to get his second contract at 30 years old.
If the Cowboys draft a cornerback at any point during the first two days I will look at it like they forfeited the pick.
That’s why I don’t think it will be defense.As far as defensive players go, he's one of the better options.
But I really am hoping for some help on offense.
Gregory wasn't a first-round pick and was a year younger. He also played with much power than McDonald. That said - for a number of reasons - Gregory has never shown production as a first-round edge player.You basically are describing randy Gregory. The guy fans were whining about not resigning.

You're being disingenuous so ima go ahead and let you cook. You got itGregory wasn't a first-round pick and was a year younger. He also played with much power than McDonald. That said - for a number of reasons - Gregory has never shown production as a first-round edge player.
McDonald can get bigger, but he wins with speed. Whether he can add that weight and still win with speed against NFL edges is a major question.
