Twitter: Stephen Jones admits they would have reached for a cornerback had Horn or Surtain been there

[TwoCentPlain]

I agree. But the people thinking that Las Vegas swept in and stole Moehrig from Dallas don’t understand that CB was the pick, no matter what.

Did Moehrig get surgery? Hearing anything on how he is doing?

 

[Risen Star]

The important piece of information you are missing is the amount of difference in ratings between the players. Say Parsons is an 8.4 and Horn is an 8.1 and Surtain is an 8.2, how relevant is the difference in ranking? There is also a plus/minus for all rankings because it is guesswork. BPA and need are always factors to consider. Go BPA long run and need as the exception.

I posted a thread of the leaked Jaguars draft board. Not much difference between a lot of players.

I'm not missing anything. He was higher rated. He was a better player in the opinion of their scouting department. How much higher rated is completely and totally irrelevant.

100%. That can only come from people outside of our bubble. They were going to take a safety over a cornerback there? Our Dallas Cowboys? Not a chance.

But you will still have to read for years how the Raiders punked us.

Btw, this also stone cold mortal lock guarantees that Micah Parsons will be a great All Pro player.

Anytime those idiots can't get their way and have to settle it turns out to be golden.

Micah! Micah! Micah!

Yep, just like the time that Prescott was just hanging around after missing their guy! It's amazing to have gotten such an amazing qb where they did!

 

[CowboyJ70]

Didn’t they even say they would have taken Joseph over Moerhig as well?

Yes indeed.

No, I haven’t been following him at all since he went to LV.

 

[J12B]

When you take a lesser rated player on your board you are reaching for that player.

A good CB benefits a defense more than what a great LB does in today's NFL.

The importance and current depth of the position is also factored in when drafting. Not just rating.

So, front offices will go "need" instead of "BPA"? Didn't realize that was actually a thing.

Front offices do just about anything when there's no concern over being fired if/when they screw up.

 

[CATCH17]

It is very strange that he is admitting they were ready to bypass the best defensive player in the draft (Parsons) for a cornerback.

it’s not exactly something to be proud about.

“yeah our talent at cornerback is so bad, we were ready to force a pick at #10 to get one”

It’s not weird at all...

CB is a premium position and linebacker isn’t.

Hence, the second schooling in two days you just received from @Rockport

When Rockport is schooling you on a steady basis, time to hang up the cleats and hide in your foxhole.

Stephen Jones should have been named Jerry Jones, Jr instead. He's a splitting image (in thinking) as his father.

We're screwed!!!

Is that what people think? That has to be naive fans.....in the NFL its rare a team comes right in and steals a guy from under you. Not saying it doesn't happen but it doesn't happen nearly as much as fans say. If the Cowboys wanted a player they would've traded up to get him. Its why teams trade up to begin with. These GM's and teams all talk to each other....they know when they need to trade up for a talent.

So, he counters his old man's comments after the draft with this? Booger was emphatic that it was Parsons, Parsons was always the guy and invited the questioner to come look at the board as proof.

This is typical BS from Porky, The Lucky Sperm, that if Parsons isn't the guy and one of those CB's shows up, they can play the same card Booger tried to play about Aaron Donald. "We would have taken Aaron Donald".

You have your pick rated as the best D player in the draft, for a team that was awful on defense, but you would have reached for CB's that went ahead of him? I don't think this clown could even afford to buy a ticket if he wasn't getting in with his old man.

You "Stephen's the savior" people better hope he goes toes up before his old man, he's a train wreck looking for a tunnel.

LMAO at "leaked draft board". Like Apple leaks on new products?

 

[Zekeats]

So this puts an end to all the homers who said otherwise

Uh ah ah ah ah.

 

[CouchCoach]

Wonder how that comment makes Parsons feel, knowing he was the 3rd choice and consolation prize?

 

[CouchCoach]

No, it doesn't. You think that clown hasn't lied before?

LOL

Try not to make eye contact.

I always wondered if they made the right decision making you a moderator and today I realize that they did.
