Pauline: Dallas Covets Buckeyes

[Risen Star]

Wow. That's saying a lot because there have been some abysmal drafts since Jimmy left.

Yeah but how many when you're gifted the best player of all time at the most important position at a time when your QB has x-rays like Evil Knievel?

You guys didn't take Jordan. That's what we'll be hearing as we wallow amongst the have nots of the league.

I get it. You really like Wentz.

About the only team they could deal down with would be SF. But I don't see why they would move past Baltimore or Jacksonville.

If they trade down, it is out of the top ten. That would be a silly move unless someone gives up the farm. Just stay put.

I understand what you are saying but don't forget that if a team outside of the top 10 want a QB and are willing to go up to 4 then SF would have to come up. Happens all the time and that is why sometimes you even see the pick swap thing where a team moves up 1 spot with another team. Seems stupid at the time but makes sense once you understand that there was another trade in place with another team at the time.

You have no right to question my faith.

Especially after he called in Dak on the road?

If we want Elliott I think you need to get infront of the 49ers. Not before the giants.

Teams Have Hard-Party Drug Concerns with Joey Bosa, Ezekiel Elliott
Updated March 15, 2016
By Charlie Campbell - @draftcampbell

Eastern Kentucky edge rusher Noah Spence was a standout pass-rusher at Ohio State before positive tests for the party drug ecstasy led to him being kicked out of the program. At the Senior Bowl, teams interviewed Spence about his issues at Ohio State, and while he wouldn't name names, he said that he wasn't the only Buckeye player who was using ecstasy while partying. In speaking with sources at multiple teams, two of the players that teams suspect for that type of partying are defensive end Joey Bosa and running back Ezekiel Elliott.

To be clear, neither player had a positive drug test for ecstasy or molly (MDMA). However, Bosa was suspended for the opening game of the 2016 NFL season. Ohio State didn't clarify the exact offense for the suspension, but Bosa told teams during the NFL Combine interviews that he was suspended because he refused to take a drug test. That counted as a positive and thus he was automatically slapped with the suspension.

Bosa told teams that he wouldn't take the test because he was going to test positive for adderall. He is said to have ADHD or ADD, so teams wouldn't have held that positive test for adderall against him and they feel he should have just gotten a prescription for the medication. Teams believe that Bosa knew he was going to test positive for worse drugs and that is why he refused to take the test. Bosa wouldn't admit to using ecstasy or molly, but he did admit that he likes to attend raves. He claimed that he likes going to raves for the "music," which teams found to be very questionable. Molly and ecstasy are common drugs used at raves.

At Ohio State, Bosa was a roommate with Ezekiel Elliott. Apparently, their shared place was a party destination, and Bosa told teams that he had to move out and get his own place to get away from all the parties that Elliott had going on. Sources say they suspect that Elliott was also using molly and ecstasy while parting. A number of Elliott's teammates in the Combine interviews told teams that Elliott was a partier, and a unique individual. They said they hung out with him some, but he rubbed some the wrong way. Sources from multiple teams said that Elliott didn't interview well at the Combine, while Bosa had mixed feedback. The skepticism of why he goes to raves and the refusal of the drug test bothered some evaluators.

Lastly, teams said they don't expect these concerns to have an impact on the draft stock of either player. They firmly expect Bosa to go in the top 10 and Elliott to be selected in the top 20. Sources don't believe either is a candidate to slide. Teams in the 20s expect Elliott to be long gone, while sources with the Titans have said that Bosa is still in the running for the No. 1 overall pick to Tennessee, but Florida State defensive back Jalen Ramsey is the current leader with the Titans (see below). While teams suspect Bosa and Elliott of using those drugs, they don't have view them as risks like Randy Gregory last year. Teams don't think that Bosa and Elliott are serious candidates to be landing suspensions and testing positive in the NFL. Thus, both should be high draft picks in the 2016 NFL Draft.

Yea I'm sure Bosa goes to raves for the 'music'

 

[DC Cowboy]

There is some news. Trading down a couple of spots wouldn't surprise me at all.

Philly could draft Elliott as well

 

[Sydla]

Philly could draft Elliott as well

Philly could also go LB if Jack is there or OL if Stanley is there.

 

[Alexander]

If Bosa gets drafted by the Cowboys, his Marinelli name will be "Glowstick".

 

[SilverStarCowboy]

Bobby Carpenter is one reason I don't get all caught up in Dallas having to take a certain player. I thought Carpenter was a lock to at least be solid.

Now, I think Bosa is going to be a worth the pick, but if he goes before our pick or we decide to go in another direction, I'm not going to be upset over it.

Sweet baby jesus on fire gonna need a lawyer and a miracle to pull our as outta this. Bosa is Bobby Carpenter 2.0, same program later date

I don't see it, though anything is possible. Carpenter had multiple issues, with the primary one being he was soft. He didn't play physical, took poor angles and ankle tackled, leading Marc Colombo to give him the nickname "Barbie." About the only thing he was any good at was coverage.

Bosa is a physical defensive end who uses his hands and change of direction very well. He's going to be a good player, but the question with him is can he be great? That same question can probably be asked of any player in this draft outside of Tunsil, though, and possibly Elliot. Several sure-to-be-good players with question marks.

I hope if we draft Bosa, what he says here is the truth. I hope if we draft Elliot, what Bosa says here is a lie.

 

[Alexander]

So you want a rave doofus who thinks people are dumb enough to buy he just goes there straight edge for the music? Oh well. Different strokes for different folks.

So everyone who goes to raves does drugs? As I said, I hope he's telling the truth if we take him. That doesn't mean he's telling the truth.

Yes, this has probably been posted elsewhere, but I thought this was interesting:

Owner Jerry Jones said Dallas won't take a quarterback at No. 4, and he's serious. We're hearing defensive lineman DeForest Buckner is the player the Cowboys really want.
Read more at http://BAN-INCOMING-IN-3-2-1/nfldraftrumormill.php#ohiostate0315#sS61h1OHV6TMkk1i.99

There are some things about Buckner that make more sense that Bosa if we go with a defensive end. Bosa is definitely more of a pure 4-3 end, but Buckner can play that position and also provide a pass rusher with power inside on some downs.

Hey let's go listen to some awesome music at a rave...... who's with me. I'll bring the ice tea!
