News: Peter King on Dallas' first pick

[Rayman70]

I don't care where they take him from 17 on as long as we take him. Plug and Play 6'4 320lbs

hes a big road grater. A MAULER. He beats people up. I'm on board.

Perspectives suck some times,, and yes the knee jerk suggests we suck.

Am I the only one tired of only being able to find starting offensive linemen in the first round or early second? Excluding Collins which was extremely lucky but good work all the same. And the salary cap is skewed something like $100 million offense $58 million defense and in tight games they can't figure out why the defense couldn't stop the other team from going ahead.

No sir,, but we have masked the inability of our coaching staff to actually manifest raw talent.
I get tired of the excuse that with the existing short term time frame of player contracts that its somehow an excuse that you cant full throttle the learning curve with exceptional coaching.
There is no cap related to how much you can pay your coaching staff.
Break the bank, bring in the best.
Maybe MM and company are that advent.

The Raiders are making noise to take Love at 19. I say put it out there that we are looking at a QB in the draft in case Dak doesn't resign and let them beg to trade up 2 spots to make sure they get their guy. Never know, lol

17. DALLAS. “It’s too high for a center,” said one personnel wag, “but they love the Michigan center (Cesar Ruiz), and they could trade down a few spots and still be sure of getting him.” Interesting: a plug-and-play heir to Travis Frederick.

I rather take a corner but if we trade down and get a extra 2nd round pick I would be ok with this

I've got to be honest I usually consider myself fairly intelligent but that just looks like a bunch of words and I really can't tell what you mean. As far as the new coaching staff I'll let you know what I think after the season. Our new OL coach looks qualified so let's hope for the best.

Sorry,, I go off at times..
I just meant "coaching".

 

[Dak_Attack_09]

Such a game plan to trade down in the hopes of drafting their center of the future in Cesar Ruiz is seemingly a workable plan. The Cowboys' center spot is a valuable spoke in the wheel of making the OL another effective unit within their offensive setup. Let's see how that plan goes, assuming it truly is one. Let's bear in mind that we could obtain extra draft pick(s) for such a deal if it happens. I can see where it might work, if handled correctly.

It would be idiotic if a top CB or DL was available to draft at 17.

In that case I agree 100%. I'm hopeful the new coaching staff does well and the best things I've seen so far is that at least on the surface Jerry seems to be letting them run with it and isn't micromanaging everything.

 

[Redball Express]

The center from Wisconsin might be available at 51.
I've seen rankings that put him over Ruiz.

I agree.

The Wisconsin center appears a bit more cerebral. Ruiz more physical.

It's a decent difference depending on the need and fit.

One hopes, right?

 

[Redball Express]

It would be idiotic if a top CB or DL was available to draft at 17.

Or a WR if available. Same thing. Being at 17 with valuable players raining like cats and dogs is a good thing for us.

We will know what we want and options will appear. Can we screw up? Sure.

Look at Taco and Hill. We are as prone to messing it up as much as scoring well.

It's going to get really interesting soon.

 

[Bullflop]

Perhaps but the Centers that Dallas likes aren't actually due for taking until the 2nd and 3rd rounds. They can still draft a CB or DE at #17.

In any event, it's anyone's guess what they're likely to be thinking. We all realize they're somewhat unpredictable, anyway. We shall see.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Just watching Mel Kiper now, he has us with the S for the tide and whoever drafts after us taking Kinlaw.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Can someone tell me the last piece of NFL news that Peter King has broken?

LLLOOOLLL

 

[reddyuta]

he is slow-4.6 safety,not a 1st rd material.

I would be highly disappointed in that pick if Kinlaw is still there.

From where the Cowboys are to pick, you would effectively be trading out of the first round or right near it in order to grab an extra 2nd (and if its near it aka 30-32 its a late 2nd).

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

In the 2nd round he has us taking Jeff Gladney?

 

[blueblood70]

He can play any interior OL position FWIW. They aren't settled at LG either.

so can Conner McGovern, Williams, and looney..lets keep adding to the OL while the defense continues to suffer.

NO New strategy, improve the team, you have resources to actually coach up for the C/LG spots as we sit..

to me a center before the 45th round is wasted picks.

i cant wait until this draft is over so I know MM had some real influence in that war room....I want the best CB, S, or DE high in this draft.. then WR heck a swing tackle would be better use of a pick..
