Some draft rumours

Good lord, the only thing we're consistently hearing, is 8-9 top of the 10 players will be offense.........otherwise, everyone's guessing.

I could be wrong but I'm 100% confident Pitts isn't dropping to 10. Some team will trade ahead of the Cowboys before that happens.

 

[reddyuta]

Collins maybe gone on the top 15 if the rumors are true.

 

[Gaede]

Starting to come around on the Slater idea. I can see the benefit, and he plays one of the most important positions.

Am still thinking CB though, based on our interest so far

 

[Hardline]

The only way I can swallow the Slater pick is if I convince myself he is our next Zack Martin.

 

[Sydla]

I mean I get Slater, I just won't be excited about it.

I'm kind of afraid we're going to take him at 10. I don't dislike the player, but I dislike the idea of using that pick on him. At this point, I feel like the players we've been linked to the most at 10 are Horn, Collins and Pitts.

love the shocking information the cowboys will likely go corner in his draft rumors LOL

Cowboys and Slater..cool whatever, but the Justin Fields disrespect is crazy.

 

[morasp]

It's all good, I read we were 7th in takeaways on defense last year.

Throwing only to your primary read in college will scare NFL teams every time.

This has been largely debunked.

I was listening to NFL radio this morning. And a lot of that was by design. According to Solomon and Bruce. Just FYI

Yeah I don't get it. if your primary read is open, aren't you supposed to throw him the ball.... Mac Jones doesn't get criticized for that..

I read this this morning and it makes a ton of sense. Article also goes into how the scheme requires him to hold the ball longer than most.

" Furthermore, per The Draft Network’s Benjamin Solak, Fields threw beyond his first read 42 times, for a rate of 19.09 percent. That mark is higher than those of the other four QB prospects who are likely to go in the first round: Lawrence (16.99 percent), Wilson (14.20 percent), Jones (9.72 percent), and Lance (16.61 percent)."

Exactly. In the article above, Fields even says that his receivers were so good, that of course he would throw to his first and second reads.

Hey @CATCH17 is this further proof about how you're smarter than everyone here regarding Quarterbacks?

Slater is the better athlete coming out and virtually everyone has him top 10-12.

 

[RS12]

The way this team drafted 3 of the last 4 years I am more concerned with not blowing the pick as opposed to completely maximizing (an absolute fantasy with this FO). I 100% believe Pitts and Sewell go top 6. Therefore I am fine with Slater at 10 who is likely a high end starter on the OLine for a decade.

We'll see. I'll be surprised if he makes it out of the top 5 when we actually get to draft night.
