Not the draft to trade up. There is going to be a good player there at 24. Green is still my favorite, but I am fine with several others. Really hope they don’t take another 1st rd receiver and concentrate on the trenches, I wouldn’t even mind Travis Jones at the pick
Travis Jones is good but they can find one techs later as well. I don’t think the draft is that deep on tackles. That is why I recommend a trade up. The reality is the team will only improve through this past draft. I really need to see how Semi, Ball, Joseph, Gholston, Osa, and the Oregon St. kid are doing in the offseason. Those guys will be the meat and potatoes of the Cowboys. Like it or not.
Yes, they are building this team with the draft/develop mindset. All those draftees are expected to improve with experience and being apart of an NFL Weight program.
In a deep WR class a few years ago, they did wait to the 3rd rd to draft Michael Gallup. Think two years ago, that was also the plan, but didn't expect Lamb to fall to their pick, matter of fact, nobody did.
That is what ticks me off about shows about the Cowboys. The shows seem to hate Ball because of an incident that happened when he was 18. The shows question Joseph because Brown actually played well and kept his job. Stephen has said since 2016 that the Cowboys will build through the draft and they will pay their own big salaries. It is like fans and media want the Cowboys to run out and give other teams trash a chance. Teams keep players they really want. LVE especially for the money he makes could be better then Wagner this season. No one who has followed Gregory’s career would be surprised if Armstrong out plays him.
Many of us do our own homework on reviewing these players and learning what others are saying about them. Joseph was a first rd talent that fell due to his character concerns and his lack of experience. There was a chance he wasn't going to be ready to start right away. Many fans think if he needs a little development, he is a bust. Ball missed the season due to an injury, but it was evident he needed to get stronger. He was projected as a 2nd rd talent. We have no idea how good he is or not as he hasn't seen the field, but already fans are saying he was a wasted pick. The draft process isn't about yr 1 impact, but the life of his contract.
What is you opinion of not bringing in one of Wagner, Miller and Smith. I actually agree with Stephen if the money is set aside to balance the books.
I don’t think their done, especially with that Collins money coming post draft. There will be rushers remaining after all the money has been spent where Stephen can get a discount line Griffen a few years ago. That to him is more for the upcoming season and rather draft and develop a long term starter.
Basically they are waiting for the prices to come down on Wagner and JPP. That is smart.
