Second biggest steal of the draft is Anthony Brown

[fortdick]

I am really liking what I see from Anthony Brown so far. For a sixth round pick, he is playing like a vet. He could actually enable the Cowboys to let Claiborne walk next year if he continues to improve.

While I like the way Mo is playing, he is not the first player that has stepped up during his contract year. I just can't help thinking that once he gets paid, he will revert.

Brown seems to be giving some options.

Yeah Brown looks really good. Even when Shepherd caught that TD pass on him week 1, Brown dos a pretty good job in coverage.

He has a good combination of physical traits and it looks like he can actually play ball.

Agree w/you on Brown...bravo!.......and unfortunately also agree on Mo. He's pretty much sucked until the year he's up for a contract.

He was a guy Bryan Broaddus had ranked in like the 3rd round IIRC. Steal in the 6th.

Why would we spend a 1st round pick on a guy, develop him then just let him walk?

Claiborne remains a Cowboy..

He does not have to be a "steal of the draft". Just solid. That is how winning teams are formed. Looks like a good pick.

Because he hasn't played to it? We let Bobby Carpenter go, or should we have kept him?

Claibourne is good. Carpenter sucked.

Hopefully we have the following steals:
1. Dak - franchise QB in 4th
2. Jaylon - gamechanging MLB in 2nd
3. Brown - starting CB in 6th
4. Jackson - backup RB with ability to start in 6th
5. Gathers - starting TE who can catch and block in 6th

We can dream

Claibourne is good. Carpenter sucked.

Claiborne is good the past four weeks. He kinda sucked before that.

I think Maliek Collins will end up being the "steal" of this draft for Dallas.

Yes, you do that. Dream.

I just hope the front office isn't doing the same.

On paper, it looks to be a successful draft. Nearly everyone made the team in some way, either on the active or practice squads.

Prescott is killing it. Steal.

How is Jaylon Smith anything?

Brown? Looking okay as a nickel CB fill in.

Jackson? Not being given much of a chance.

Gathers? C'mon.

Claibourne keeps balling he is not going anywhere. Carr is the DB that needs to go.

He has flashed some things. I am very curious to see how he plays when it is not clear if he is the guy to block.

It depends on what he demands salary wise. If he wants top 10 CB money, let him walk. If he will take a 3-5 year deal that reflects his entire body of work and protects the team from him reverting to his old self, then I'd love to have him back. Not a lot of chance in that I would think at this point.

Hitting on any pick after the third round (when I say hitting I mean productive player) is like finding 20 bucks in your pants pocket.

I agree in theory. However, will Claiborne just get the money and start having injuries again? I wanted him to show more before the contract year.

I couldn't agree more. thanks for posting!

I would take finding a Lincoln.

He knows how to get the Jerry Jones Golden Ticket. Just took him longer than Crawford.
