QB Kyler Murray’s Comments on CeeDee Lamb a Reminder of Cowboys Luck

[Bullflop]

I do think he gets overlooked.

I actually love the depth we've added at corner. While we're not clear-cut on our starters, Awuzie, Lewis, Brown, Worley and Canady all have either nickel or starting experience and have shown some good things at times. Then, we have the two rookies, Diggs and Robinson. We might not carry a single corner this year who is just a special-teammer. Seven corners who can actually play corner gives us a lot of flexibility in the secondary.

He definitely has ideal size if we were to need someone to fill in at safety.

(As if being capable as an outside CB wouldn't be enough!) I do like him!

In case anyone was wondering, while Murray "lobbied the team to draft former Oklahoma teammate CeeDee Lamb at No. 8 in the draft" the Cardinals proceeded to completely avoid the heavy loaded WR draft class.

Round Selection Player Position College
1 8 Isaiah Simmons OLB Clemson
3 72 Josh Jones OT Houston
4 114 Leki Fotu DT Utah
4 131 Rashard Lawrence DT LSU
6 202 Evan Weaver LB California
7 222 Eno Benjamin RB Arizona State

They have Christian Kirk and Andy Isabella waiting in the wings.

Stop telling young black men how to behave.

Someone has to do it. You would rather have them growing up without guidance?

They used their 2nd rounder on Hopkins. The WR class thinned out quite a bit by the time there 3rd came up. The WR draft didnt pan out the way some people thought, where you would be able to get a good WR late. Legit starting caliber prospects flew off the board early. 13 WR's came off the board before their 3rd round pick. 8 before their 2nd

IIRC they were considering trading Kirk. They probably would have if they took a WR in the 1st or 3rd

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Fitz is going to be 37 when the season starts... not so sure it would have been that bad of an idea for them.

Mind you they also have Isabella and Christian Kirk.....Kirk as your 4th receiver is a luxury.

At that point in the draft I don’t even know if it made sense to draft a receiver. Would those guys be better than Kirk or Isabella that you get in the 3rd or 4th round?

I thought the story was they wanted him
But he wanted out? I could be wrong.

 

[RoboQB]

I wish Murray was our quarterback. Still the best QB I've ever seen in Cowboys Stadium (Allen High School).

Best QB I've seen in Cowboys Stadium is Aaron Rodgers.
Damn, that hurts... lol

 

[jaythecowboy]

He has Fitz and Hopkins... still has the gall to call Cowboys lucky. Appreciate your own luck, Kyler.

Kyler Murray didn't say anything about luck. That was the author.

 

[JoeKing]

Kyler Murray didn't say anything about luck. That was the author.

So what, he should still appreciate his own luck and not be greedy.

Edwards maybe. I liked him. But most likely no.

Mims, Claypool and Hamler were probably the best they could have gotten in the 2nd and Mims is probably the only one Id take over those two

Just saying not to put words in his mouth when he didn't even mention the Cowboys.

Who are you his mother? Don't tell me what to do.

They are pretty stocked at reciever:

Fitz
Hopkins
Kirk
Isabella
Hakeem Butler

I initially thought it was an honest mistake. I don't care personally if you're cool with lying.

first off im all for the pick, CEEDEE looks great on paper but lets ut the anointing oil down until hes even better then AC or Gallup..the proof will be in the production..

BTW id Take Simmons for CEEDEE right now if Murray want to trade, let us know )

Fitz is 37 and if they trade Kirk, and who is Hakeem Butler?

It's not suddenly stacked at all.

It's not suddenly stacked at all.

And if Cooper tears his knee, Gallup catches COVID, and Lamb struggles as a rookie....et cetera, we suddenly wouldn’t be as stacked either.

What’s your point?

1. They have arguably the best receiver in the league in DeAndre Hopkins
2. They didn’t trade Kirk so the point is moot
3. Can’t help you if you don’t know who Hakeem Butler is

Wow. Just wow.
