Rookies playing major roles

[Whirlwin]

We will see. I think we draft a corner early (1st or 2nd) to pair with Diggs. You just can’t trust Bossman.

Bland

Bland will be the slot.

I think that’s where brown belongs once the injuries settle down

You gonna pay Brown big money to be the slot cornerback?

I’m not sure what his demands are. But I think we can afford him Anyways bland is a starting corner just like Diggs . They’re not going to putput that talent in the slot

Bland appears to be better then Joseph but I don’t know if he can play the outside.

 

[Runwildboys]

Best drafting team in the league. McClay just crushes it.

We've gotten pretty lucky lately too. Almost didn't get Parsons, for one.

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

Tolbert though he’s got plenty of time, it’s way too early to pass judgement.

If we were to pass judgement on him...he wouldn't catch it. Oops.

 

[conner01]

You think that being the 3rd receiver wasn't a role?

He hasn’t been the 3rd most of the season and was even a healthy scratch

 

[conner01]

I want a DT in the first and a RB in the 2nd or 3rd.

A CB is a likely pick since brown is a FA and Lewis is the next year
Maybe not in first but probably top 3 rounds
Not likely a stud DT is gonna be there when we pick but you never pass an impactful DT. They are too hard to find

 

[DC Cowboy]

To me, it looked like Tolbert is almost there.

I'm really hoping we stay put on our WRs.

It's been a difficult start to the season with Dak out. With his injury, it's been difficult to gauge the offense's potential. But I think we've got enough guys to win between Lamb, Gallup, Brown, Fehoko, Tolbert, Washington, and Turpin.

I'm also really excited by our rookies.

At the end of the day, I think our draft was better than the Eagles as well as our UDFA draft class.

Draft class compared to the Eagles is a moot point b/c they did so well in Free Agency.

No kidding. The point goes way over the head of a lot of you.

Sounds good.

 

[IceBowler]

And this, children, is why it was so much fun before free agency and the cap. Teams that drafted well were perennial contenders. They drafted well, developed them, and didn't have to watch them walk off to another team. It was much more a reflection of the organizational commitment and ability than it is today. Of course, we weren't hooked up to our cell phones, or requiring instant gratification and - had attention spans longer than 20 minutes.

Clark
Williams
Turpin
Hendershot
Ferguson
M. Davis
Tyler Smith
Tolbert

Bell played in the Bears game.

 

[plymkr]

Markquese Bell was getting starter snaps yesterday when Wilson and Kearse were banged up

He was/is my pet cat from training camp. I was hoping he'd make a splash play. But I was excited nothing bad happened when he was in. I'm super excited about Clarke right now. And the obvious usual suspects of Tyler, Hendershot, Ferg, and Turpin.

I like this kid
Whether he’s an outside or slot guy isn’t an issue
If he can be a starter quality player he’s a steal

 

[FanofJerry]

Almost seems like The Cowboys FO can afford to pay a decent bus driver and put talent around the driver.

Almost seems like having a Tom Brady isnt the only way to win a Championship.

Almost like there are 3 dimensions to Football...you need 22 decent starters on each side of the ball and more players for depth.

Almost like having a Good Scouting department is more important than a Generational QB.

Almost to the point that a good scouting department is insurance to paying a bus driver.

Almost like spending 10+ drafts striking out on finding a Brady is a fools game and finding a serviceable QB and putting players around him is easier.

Bland struggled at outside CB in the preseason.

Great preseason at Nickel CB (covering slot WRs).
