I would have preferred it to go more like this though.

Yes, but you're fat. Fatty.

I will give you credit for finding one of the most disgusting photos that I have seen in the last week. You need an attaboy award for this.

I'm still perplexed that we took smith over Jack. Jack was the more impressive player IMO and more likely to actually play this season. I never understood all the love smith got, great speedy athlete but pure run and hit chaser, Meanwhile Jack had more INTs than most DBs, including Ramsey.
That said, really hope smith turns out to be all the scouts thought and I'm just wrong.

Jack had a whopping 4 interceptions TOTAL in 3 seasons at UCLA.

So I am not sure where you are going with that point.

From stats.
Jack is a LB yet snagged four ints and didn't even play last season.
Ramsey, a DB only had like 3, total in college.
As far as DBS go, the int stats for most of the DBS in this past draft were pretty low except for a few.

4 interceptions isn't exactly an eye popping number of interceptions though over 2.5 years or whatever he played.

Exactly, in fact it'd terrible if he were a DB, esp a safety.

BB on Cowboys break said people in NE weren't targeting Smith

When dealing with a team such as NE you have to qualify everything with the question, "would they benefit from lying."

In this case they would so I question the veracity of their statement.

Would the Cowboys (Jones) benefit by lying? Absolutely.

What's it going to be then, eh?

If you knew then, would you rather have Shaq Lawson @19 undergoing shoulder surgery before the season with a 5-6 month recovery timetable or Jaylon Smith @34 recovering from nerve damage with an unknown return date?

Yeah, it's the offseason...

At least Lawson's injury is not something that has as much guesswork to it.

I would prefer avoiding medical risks entirely. Most players have something wrong with them, but when you spend premium choices on players with known and documented concerns, you have nobody to blame but yourself when it does not work out.

I could care less if we would've missed out on JAylon Smith.

Big deal if New England was dumb enough to select him that high.

We need available football players.
