Nick Harris dropped a couple nuggets

Was Dart that much better at ole Miss? He tore it up playing with him in college. Was it the system? I'm wondering out loud. Hard to believe the guy suddenly can't cut it.

Wish I had an answer for you there. I don't have a ton of insight to his college play, I can only really speak to his NFL film. Not sure if he was more of a find the soft spots in coverage guy which is easier in college, or his physical attributes just let him dominate lower competition? Not super familiar with his college tape.

Interesting notes. I wonder if Tet was the pick at 12, then when would they have addressed the OG position and with who? Would they have gone OG in the second round? or would they still be Ezeiruaku?

WR off the board after the 5th is also interesting. I wonder who they had in the 4th and 5th rounds that were worth taking?

4th round WRs:
Chimere Dike
Dont'e Thornton
Arian Smith
Jaylin Lane
Jalen Royals
Eric Ayomanor
Jordan Watkins

5th round WRs:
Ke'Andre Lambert -Smith
Tony Horton

Thornton with his vertical speed may have been worth a look. But I don't think any of these guys are potentially better than Tolbert or Mingo. They may turn out to be, but based on their attributes, I think they are similar or worse prospects that what Dallas already has. Still, not having a 4th round pick hurt the Cowboys.

On the last point, I really hope they do not do it again and trade away yet another 4th round pick for a guy who has struggled in the NFL. The time to address this was in Free Agency.

Thornton will put up better numbers than Tolbert, Mingo and Brooks combined.
