Stephen Jones: The Draft Aligns a Little Bit with Our Needs

[nalam]

Get ready for the 2009 draft, part 2.

I thought 2023 draft was similar to 2009. Lol

 

[morasp]

It looks like a good year for LB, WR, OL, DT, and CB. If they could do some sort of trade to net 4 top 100 picks I think they could as many starters/significant contributors this season. If not, I think if it fell right they could get 3.

Hiring Jimmy was about it.

Yea except for that move that won 2 super bowls

 

[Sarge]

He’s gross.

 

[Mr_437]

Who told him that because he's not watching film?

 

[MikeT22]

Yea except for that move that won 2 super bowls

Yeah I’m grateful he hired Jimmy and let him do his job which netted us 3 SBs.

But I won’t miss anything he’s done the last 30 years.

 

[Blast From The Past]

With a talented draft class at the top on the offensive line and other positions, Stephen Jones sees a big opportunity to improve in the draft next month.

Stevie boy has been playing on the mock draft simulators way too much.

 

[kskboys]

Was Mazzie Smith best player available last year?

Pretty much.

 

[kskboys]

The truth is. The cowboys draft for need more quite often. It usually bites them in the butt particularly in the second round.

Nope. We don't draft for need in the 2nd. We draft guys w/ lots of tools, but projects. Not sure exactly what you'd call it, but it's not need. We usually reach really badly.

 

[kskboys]

No one. But outside of the top 2 guys, who we won't pick, I personally don't see a lot of standouts

That's true w/ all positions every draft.

This is a deep draft for DT's. Problem is, DT's are very hard to draft anyway, and we are inept at it.

Jaden Crumedy has a ton of potential. Jordan Jefferson worth a later pick.

 

[kskboys]

They aren't drafting a tight end.

So then we're not drafting using BPA!! Excellent, poor strategy anyway.

 

[kskboys]

I will. Jerry has had some great moments as a cowboy owner, even if the later half of his career has been bad

28 years is a long latter half.

Who in the hell is the tight end that would be the bpa when the Cowboys will be on the board? There are none.

 

[Walker]

Everyone else got better we lost many players we really went all in. All in to get a high draft pick next year.

Idk man. Bossman fat, Schoonmaker, trysten hill. Those were all picks forced due to need.

Later*

 

[JonesBoys]

When you have a lot of needs then yes any draft will line up with your needs.

 

[Bullflop]

Anyone here who feels like shaking their head in disbelief over the current state of this organization has a perfect right to.
Little does Stephen realize how goofy he looks by attempting to "put lipstick on a pig" concerning the state of this team!

Would not a real GM have the same tone or would the Clampetts be the smartest brass in football.

 

[Quickdraw]

There are too many glaring needs just on defense alone to address it all in 1 draft. Even if they could address most of them, how many guys will make an immediate impact?
