Does not say with 100% certainity he WOULD be there just gives their opinion.

Can you comprehend the difference?

 

[Gambit]

Clearly Dallas didn't think he'd be there at 174.

 

[BHendri5]

excellent pick, we're having another good draft

 

[nalam]

In case you haven’t picked up on it now the theme of this draft is toughness.
Dallas or adopting some of the Bella check ideology- draft football players not stylistic measurable guys.

All four guys we drafted are Punch you in the face run you over types.
Except for maybe the tackle we took last night he’s a little bit more finesse than the rest.

That is a much needed trait, hope they dont pick wrong habits in the locker room. I like replenishing the trenches but why head scratchers ?

Nothing is guaranteed and you are just a guy on the forum with an opinion like the rest of us....it's my opinion that they reached big time but we'll see. Maybe he will be a Special Teamer superstar! LOL!!!

 

[rnr_honeybadger]

We finally get to watch our own Samoan defender running around all over the field with the hair flowing as he makes tackles.

I’m in.

Our very one Troy Polamalu.....light of course.

now way jimmy was ok with this at 87

I think they got a heck of a football player who fits the type of LB Zimmer likes.

I don't think he makes it to 174, and more to the point better chance of a RB who can help at 174 than LB.

Great coverage LB fun fact did not give up a WR TD is something like 400 pass coverage snaps (don't know the exact number)

Long arms, high motor, plays with a ton passion.

Not a regret at all in my mind in this pick.

Are you saying there were no better LB'ers available than this guy? Are you his agent?

I offered zero opinion on whether or not there were better lbs available. I trust you can read what I said about the player and comprehend this basic fact, since you're the judge and arbiter of all things reading comprehension.

Enjoy your night I'm not going entertain any more convo with you on this since you're incapable of holding one.

Take your ball and go home then...no one cares.

Damn, stores are going to have to restock the tissue isle after this pick.

 

[Playmaker3128]

People go crazy over these picks. Some work out some don’t that’s the nature of it. Half the guys drafted in the first round are out of football in what 3-4 years.

We liked him for a reason. Don’t think he’d be there later. To be honest I trust Mike zimmmer and will mcclay.

We don’t get enough credit for our good draft picks… But we’ve drafted as well as any team over the past decade… talent has never been a problem. You can’t hit on every pick. It’s just not possible

we drafted street thugs and I luv it. None of them are sexy picks or media darlings, but we drafted really good ball players that aim to hurt you. Kneeland has Power and I can't wait til Greg Ellis gets him under his wing. Kneeland is a violent sob. Ie seen him dog walk his guy into the QB many a time in games. We didnt have anyone like him til now. Many fans and so called experts are down on the pick saying hes a project but thats hogwash. Its because they don't know his game at Western Michigan. I encourage you all to film study him.

 

[Rayman70]

This linebacker reminds me of Ken Norton Jr and safety Troy Polamalu. This is a good pick. But what about RB?

 

[TasteMyScythe]

Some of you think this kid was a reach and we could have selected him in the 5th or 6th round...Why? Because you did 1000 mock drafts and you're an expert now? This kid is a solid get and he is going to bring some intensity to the defense. Is he a starter in year one, probably not, but he is going to bring it and he will earn his stripes. Time will tell.
The cowboys will do something and get back into the 4th round and get that RB...count on it.

Stupid, just stupid. Could have been had in the 5th

Rico Vaughn and likely a guy tomorrow drafted.

Unless an insane run on RBs happens I think there will be a guy who give you some plays at 174.

We needed to address OL this year and they have done that. Very well I'd say.

Day 3 is always my favorite part of the draft I look forward to it and how it plays out

 

[Gambit]

Marist Liufau has not given up a receiving TD since 2022. Let that sink in.

Or not
