***Official Draft Thread Day THREE***

[hendog]

I don't see us going DT this late with Melton, Bass, Hayden, Crawford, McClain.....but you never know.

I'll be shocked if Gardner doesn't make the team.

Hayden needs to be replaced by a more talented player.

Gardner is a very good pick and a lot of people above are underrating him as an athlete. I really don't see him as a 3 tech. Look at his pro day #'s....He weighed in at 263, his 3 cone was 6.83, his 10 yard split was 1.67, and his explosive #'s were off the chart with a 39" vert and 10'2 broad. He's a legit 4-3 DE and an absolute steal in the 7th.

4th captain we have picked out of our 5 selections per Archer. That has to count for something!

Kiffin just walked in the war room. He looks like he's 100 years old.

With so many late round picks it will be interesting how the Boys approach UDFAs. IMO they will have a leg up on the other teams because they can draft someone vs fight for them afterwards.

A 39 inch vertical for a 270 pound defensive lineman who supposedly lacks athleticism is absolutely ridiculous.

I really like this pick

 

[Staubacher]

The trick is to trade down more often and constantly look for future picks. Something tells me our draft team gets way too emotional about specific players to stockpile value.

When you're 8-8 every year you get the false sense that you are just one player away and thus you reach.

When you make the playoffs every year like NE and SF you can focus on adding to your arsenal one small piece at a time.

Does Charles Davis know what he's talking about? Hopefully, because he just said that any other normal draft year, D. Street would have been a 3rd rounder......nice.

Dallas had a third round grade on him this year.

Hayden needs to be replaced by a more talented player.

I think McClain replaces him

YES sir! VERY glad to see we picked him up:

Torn pec set him back a little...could be VERY good back up and absolutely can play special teams

 

[Alexander]

It is like someone with a brain made that last choice.

 

[Staubacher]

He just finished the early bird

 

[Mrdude108]

I just read somewhere, maybe Walterfootball or heard it on NFLN that Gardener would have been drafted much earlier if not for injury. He looks great so we shall see how he works out.

Yea he jumped higher than any DE I believe. Or at least he was up there. Very underrated athlete. If not for his torn pec, we're probably looking at a 4th round pick.

We are not the only team that subscribes to that theory.

 

[BigStar]

Checking in before he heads to bed.

 

[Common Sense]

We are not the only team that subscribes to that theory.

We did the same thing in 2009. While nice to have, it's not really a measure of success.

 

[Plankton]

We are not the only team that subscribes to that theory.

When Parcells was in Dallas, the 2005 Draft had captains galore.
