Draft Day ****Official Round 1 Draft Thread***

[Jake]

I still would have traded up for James but can’t complain about the pick. They picked the best available D player on the board at their pick. No reason to complain

Can't trade up/down without a partner. Why is this so hard for some to comprehend?

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

I saw someone mention about Barkley. That's another good reason for us to land LVE. We need to be able to stop the run, and an interior LB is a good way to do that.

 

[glimmerman]

C'mon, folks.

We need linebackers BADLY.

Let's hope he's our next great one.

Boom. He is smart like Lee and bigger. First round isn’t over yet. Trade back in for a WR. They are being pushed down.

 

[Ranching]

So Vander Sloot is a Cowboy! Alright, let's get after it!!!

 

[mardwin]

This guy has an injury concern. WHY draft another linebacker with injury concerns? How great will he be when his neck acts up and he's sitting in the tub with Sean Lee and Jaylon Smith? Rod jumped up with joy, so given his track record over being enthusiastic, I'm not expecting much from dude.

Trifecta! Lee is made of glass, Jaylon is recovering from major knee reconstruction, needed one more injured LB to complete the set. All with 1st round grade.

 

[DHCBF66]

I like the kid, now we can focus on a WR.

 

[Vinnie2u]

Ok. Little exaggeration due to stupid handling first round last year and this year

2nd round and you would be on target.

 

[Bigdog]

Well this just confirm who is running the Cowboys and it is not Jerry. Jerry I think would have traded to get Edmunds or James

 

[Oh_Canada]

Ridley ends up in New England....of course.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

OLB-Sean Lee
M-LVE
OLB-Jaylon Smith

thats a nice trio there.

I agree. What'd be awesome is if we also get Fred Warner in round 4 from BYU.

 

[TheRomoSexual]

Grow up? Calling him a reach is immature? Get over yourself.

I also did defend my position. There’s are better players still available at positions of need.

DJ Moore and Calvin Ridley are better overall players. Receiver is also a need.

Harold Landry is a better player overall. Pass rush is always a need.

Isaiah Wynn is a better overall player. OG is also a need.

If you don’t like my opinion that’s fine. But me calling him a reach isn’t immature. So again, get over yourself

Most, if not all, of those players have been consistently ranked behind LVE in mock drafts. If you think they will be better, fine. But "reach" implies objective rankings. Prove your case, not spout your opinion.

 

[Mannix]

STUPID, STUPID, STUPID....could have drafted Ridley, and then taken Josey Jewell in the 3rd. This organization is absolutely clueless!!!! Could have had the DB from FSU, but The Clapping Carrot just had to win that Philly game out of insecurity.

 

[J817]

I can't wait to watch all of the haters here when they have to eat their words. Assuming it's the same haters that whine when Lee got hurt which left Jaylon to fill his spot. Not a sexy pick now but it will be when he becomes one of the best LB in the NFL.

I’m not mad at this pick at all but.....

[Diehardblues]

Best athlete available at the biggest position of need.

And this board freaks out.

Cowboy fans defined.

We should know by now these boards aren’t always a good reflection of Cowboys Nation.

 

[skinsscalper]

lots of whiners here, if you just logged in to this site you might think it's an anti cowboy forum

Dude if you log on here at ANY time of ANY day you would think this is an Anti-Cowboys forum. Whiny ***** central. There are a lot of Zoner's wives out there that lament on a daily basis when they reflect what it used to be like to have a man around the house at one time. Bunch of Summer's Eve specials.

 

[BrassCowboy]

Exactly.

Starting MLB for a long time.

The guy is weak can't take on blockers gets taken down way too easy

 

[TheDude]

How many LB's do you think play in a 4-3?

how many in the dime and the nickel?

 

[Seth5545]

How is this a decent pick when Vander Esch has injury concerns with his neck? He could very well be sitting on the sidelines with Lee

He has a chance to be a really great player. I agree that they should have traded down. Atleast we didnt draft a WR.

 

[PAPPYDOG]

Good pick and like the kid's attitude reminds me of Jack Lambert !

Defense Defense and more Defense .....is the only road to Glory!

 

[SiCk_DiAbLo]

Ready to win Super Bowls again, how can you not like this guy!!!
