Stephen Hints at Possible Intended R2 Target

[CalPolyTechnique]

Was listening to the Day 2 post draft presser. Stephen mentioned early in the press conference that they were looking at at three different positions "and then one went away." It's interesting to note that 4 of the 6 picks that went ahead of us were receivers (Tyquan Thornton, George Pickens, Alec Pierce, and Skyy Moore).

It's interesting to think which of those receivers the Cowboys may have been targeting.

They’ve at least tried to sell us that Tolbert was in play at 56

Lol, the Cowboys always get their guy.

Could have been Pickens but I think it was Pierce. I believe they had a private workout with player. IMO Tolbert as prospect is right there with that group.

Listening to Stephen I got the feeling it was McBride (TE) that they were considering.

Outisde of PIckens, I think Tolbert is just as good if not better a WR prospect than all of those players.

I think Pickens has #1 traits, but have heard there might be severe off the field issues.

I'm happy with our day 2 selections, even though I wanted Travis Jones. Both Williams/Tolbert will have roles this yr and will make an impact.

Pickens hands are pretty small too. Below 9" I think

i thought that alec pierce kinda reminded me of those type receivers mccarthy went for at green bay.
coulda been him.

They were lucky to get Tolbert and Ferguson.The draft worked out well for them. They held their ground and got a receiver and tight end and kept their picks witch gave them Clark and Ridgeway.

I think you’re right

Cowboys wanted Thorton. I think round 2 was too rich for them anyway. If I had to guess, it would have been Pickens ahead of Tolbert.

He said position, not a player.

He had to be. Tolbert is legit. And he fits in great.

 

[DanA]

That makes sense. I interpreted that as Tolbert, Williams, and McBride (three positions) with no real alternative.

Possibly the TE from Colorado that went right before us?

Think it was between McBride, Tolbert and Williams. McBride went the pitch before 56

Can eliminate Moore. Looking at both the receiver we drafted and those we picked up as UDFAs, we're definitely not interested in receivers under 6 feet tall. This has really already been established, but was further confirmed this year.
