Slater: Cowboys are 'very interested' in Texas RB Jonathon Brooks 'NFL Total Access'

[rambo2]

Well we were the ones that took Smith. And Gregory. And Joseph. All risks. All 2nd round.

Decent enough odds we do something stupid again in Rd 2 this year.

They also could hit a homerun in round 2 this year with a pick like Brooks, Benson, Payton Smith, Frazier, Tampa,Legette, or Sweat.

 

[rambo2]

They did. Also said we were stupid to take Micah and said he was the next Jaylon Smith lol.

Or they said that we should have taken a pass rusher instead of Parsons.

I mean we could ignore Chido, D Law, Lee, Diggs, Connor Williams lol……

There are a lot of healthier options that seem to be in the same tier…would be totally on brand for us to select the crippled one

Then they turn around and say because we did t have those players on the top of our board, we lucked into those players and get no credit for taking them.

He isn't crippled. Do you think that Barkley is crippled?

 

[Sydla]

Sometimes they do.

Often times they don't. Hence why we haven't won squat since the mid 90s.

Hence why it's not a guarantee they do something stupid. But they sure have a pretty decent enough chance of doing something dumb.

Often times they draft better than the entire league. They are a top 4 drafting team.

Injured player in the 2nd round? Say it ain’t so

No, that never happens, where do people get that from????

 

[KJJ]

The crazy part is you know it’s a very real possibility. Can they truly be that stupid? Definitely!

We continue to look for value in the second round with players that have fallen due to injury or off the field issues and it never works out for us. You would think the jughead Joneses would learn their lesson.

The qualifier for a Dallas second round pick….

‘Would have been a first rounder if not for ______’

Then the blank part ends up being the problem.

Or if you’re a TE. Literally THREE times they took a TE when they had a future HOFer as the starter.

That was a Parcells thing and they figure they learned something from him. Parcells’ strength was getting the most out of everyone he had. His drafts (other than 2005) were pretty terrible.

It’s a terrible strategy. Just stick to BPA. One who isn’t injured or a headcase.

I understand trying to get value with a player that has a first round grade if it weren’t for injury, drugs or off the field trouble but it never works out for us. We need to take the same approach we have in the first round.

 

[buybuydandavis]

If we are dumb enough to tell porn lips who we are interested in then we are dumber than even I think we are.

I admit, porn lips will get me talking.

 

[DandyDon52]

How about Parsons, Diggs, and Lamb?

lol, no one looked at them as risks or bargains. they werent injured or off field problems.
Diggs Not sure if he was highly touted or not, the other 2 were.

After trying it over and over, you have to move on. Might work for some teams, but not this one. The roster should be in better shape right now if they don't gamble with those high draft picks. There's too many holes to do that.

Top 4 drafting team and a poverty FA team.

 

[NDGAEDE]

This is pretty much a guarantee
