Should we prepare ourselves for Connor Cook?

[Fla Cowpoke]

I wouldn't be so sure on Ramsey either....I think probability is high that the Chargers take him.

 

[CATCH17]

I really can't even begin to describe how pissed/disappointed/flabbergasted/insane/drunk/depressed I will be if they trade UP for Connor Cook. 5th year option or not, for chrissakes.

Word today is that he will go in the first. I just hope it's not us that do it.

What a boring player to have to watch in the future.

Seems like most of the chatter the last 24 hours is OT, likely Tunsil with a few rumors that maybe Stanley slides in there.

Ramsey at 3 would mean Elliott at 4 most likely, which of course, would be a mistake. Because then imagine wasting picks to move up to take Cook.

Our first two picks could be a TB and a QB and then likely only have a bunch of late round picks to try to fix the defense. Awesome.

A host up in here in Philly, during a round table discussion of the draft last week, called it "QB intoxication". The phenomenon where teams are so consumed with finding the next QB to lead the franchise that they overinflate their value.

Connor Cook going in the first round would be a textbook example of QB intoxication.

To some extent. It's never viewed as overinflating when you hit on a guy that others didn't think would be good.


The NFL is all about coaching and the QB. Everything else is moving parts. So that's why you see teams "overinflating" guys that they like.

 

[LucaBrasi]

He's my least favorite QB of the top 5 by a mile, so I'm sure that's who they are looking at. After the 1st pick, the Cowboys essentially take the rest of the draft off, so I'm not surprised.

 

[Oh_Canada]

Have to wonder if Hackenberg had the good fortune of playing behind that Oline and the talent Cook had around him, would we be talking about him as the #1 overall?

Cook blows.

 

[Displaced Cowboy]

 

[ThreeandOut]

If you could move up to the end of the 1st for Lynch, that's a no brainer.

 

[Gaede]

I like Cook. Think there has been a major smear campaign against the young man.

That said, I hope we don't trade up for him

 

[9darter]

Jalen Ramsey and Connor Cook tonight?

Holy Jesus Christ!

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

I don;t believe there is not another team in the first thinking about taking Paxton if he is there....but I would be ok with it as it is the ONE QB I would be ok with the Cowboys trading UP for in this draft.

 

[pjtoadie]

Holy Jesus Christ!

 

[Sydla]

Now there's a QB you move into the first round for.............. not Connor Freaking Cook.

His stats are his stats. He's not an accurate passer. And despite the notion that he's a big game QB, he's had some dreadful performances in some big games MSU has played the last few years.

Not sure how one can smear him with the fact he was positively awful in the Iowa game last year, for example.

 

[Idgit]

This is the only thing that makes sense. It sounds like the Cowboys think Lynch gets by the Saints. If so, I'd be thrilled with a small move up to get Lynch.

 

[CIWhitefish]

Zeke or Ramsey at 4 and a trade up for Lynch? I'd be up for that.

 

[Floatyworm]

There is no way in hell I'm giving up pick 2/34 and next years #2 in a loaded 2017 draft for Conner Cook.

For Lynch?.....I think I pull the trigger

Approximately Our 2016 2 plus a 2017 2 for Pick 19 plus their 2016 4th

Cowboys Nation added,


Cowboys Empire @3ri3Adams
@cowboyszone how much to get upto 19

 

[Sydla]

Archer is saying that if they take Elliott at 4, they won't move up for a QB in one. They'll start focusing on defense at 34.

 

[KB1122]

We won't trade up two spots for Wentz or Goff, but we will trade up 10ish spots for Connor Cook?

Fantastic.
