***Official Draft Thread Day One***

[Hoofbite]

So which TE are we taking in the 2nd?

Which one can't block?

 

[movaughn88]

So happy Manziel is not a Cowboy. Can't say that enough. For once, good job, Jerry.

I thousand times yes. Having a scotch to celebrate. Right down to my belly.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Yes. Our 30 year old 1st rounder.

He's probably a young 30 though.

 

[DallasEast]

Btw, I think Dallas very well may take a QB this weekend.

Maybe day 3

That's been my thought as well.

It wouldn't surprise me.

 

[Bleu Star]

Just to be clear, I liked Manziel but wasn't in love with him and never expected us to take him. But I do think some people have gone overboard with the smart/safe/trenches talk. There's more to good drafting than just taking an OL every year, especially at 16 and especially a G/RT. This isn't Tyron Smith.

We screwed the pooch. Now we have to go defense. Perhaps Derek Carr will still be around. Hopefully we do some wheeling & dealing tomorrow night. I prefer to avoid waiting until Romo is walking with a cane to draft our next general.

Nope, but he's arguably the best OG in the draft and a guy who could start over three players on this OL, like tomorrow. Martin was the only player that could handle Aaron Donald at the Senior Bowl. They played this one right.

 

[DFWJC]

WR run coming up soon?

 

[Zordon]

it's crazy that tyron smith is still younger than zach martin.

@adamschefter
So in the end, Jerry Jones got Brandon Weeden and Browns got Johnny Manziel.

How does Ryan Tannehill go No. 8 and Johnny Manziel go No. 22?

 

[DFWJC]

Houston very well may trade up for Teddy B.

That's a great point and I hadn't really thought of it that way.

It was either Martin, Manziel, or a safety.

I don't think they could trade out.

 

[punit328]

didnt they release the phone call when the Cowboys called Martin and told him he would be the pick?

 

[guag]

Yes. Our 30 year old 1st rounder.

But he's a 'very young' 30!

Do people realize that first-round tackles and DL bust at as high or a higher rate than qb?

 

[DTown214]

In 2-3 years, we'll have the best offensive line in football... unfortunately, we'll still have the worst defense

With their offensive line, defense, Cameron & Gordon i really think they have a good foundation. If they use their boat load of picks and cap space wisely they could be dangerous in a year. Just need to capitalize on the opportunity as the Ravens and Steelers slide back.

Bet they go get another WR next.

Actually a very good situation for JF

What time does the draft start tomorrow?
