Taco Charlton Breakdown

[pancakeman]

This is not the the 19th century and I cannot stand 19th century literature. Every time I see someone using the "To wit:" style in sports journalism I just stop reading.

Methinks you doth prejudge apace!

Nawrocki says he's a guy that may always be challenged to avoid complacency and to sustain a level of excellence and is likely to be motivated by contact years.

Go Cowboys?

Nawrocki poses as a personality profile expert and he has no experience or education whatsoever on the subject. He fancies Joel Buchsbaum as his mentor, but in all likelihood Buchsbaum hardly ever talked to the guy.

Better than Harris, Takk, and Barrnett.

I know but do you think we took the guy we had the highest grade on at that spot
Obviously there could have been players we didn't need with higher grades but say lb, and cb
Do you believe taco was higher on their board than say at cb
That's my issue because I don't think we followed our own board
Not a knock on taco just think we put position above the board

The practice of going BPA is far more myth than fact. In the NFL, there is predominantly a tendency for the great majority of NFL teams to bear just as much consideration for positional need as they do to BPA. More often than not, it's been customary for teams to draft for the BPA in a position of need than to strictly draft for the best player with no emphasis upon need. Most teams tend to pay lip service to strictly going for the BPA because it sounds appealing to their fan base. In the real world, it has more to do with teams serving their image than the actual truth.

Go Cowboys?

If that is accurate, they should have just taken the better player in McDowell.

Chronological highlights of Taco's 2016 season.

Nice -- Taco is a physical presence that must be respected. His quick spin move is also something that may give OT's fits in the NFL.

Totally agree
BPA based on need
My point is there were higher rated players at other positions of need
No one truly goes BPA but more BPA based on need

I still remember him adamantly stating that Brady Quinn would be a franchise QB and was the best player in the draft that year.

Everybody misses and everybody will miss badly from time to time. I have a lot of respect for Dr. Z, but he thought Dan Marino would be a bust because he thought he was a 'pusher' of the football instead of a 'thrower.' And when he went to the Dolphins with a defensive minded coach in Shula, Dr. Z thought he was toast.

My main gripe with many of these people is that they fancy themselves as experts in things they are not experts in.

Kiper fancies himself as a scout, but he's not a scout. And it shows in his judgment of players and how off his early rankings of the draft are compared to what the real scouts rate these guys come draft time.

I like Brett Kollmann, but he's not a scout either.

And Nowracki isn't a personality profile expert either.

Where I give Kiper a ton of credit is that he's an expert and understanding, come actual draft time, how things work. He's also a good personality on TV.

Kollmann is excellent at understanding the techniques in the game and understanding the differences between the college and pro game and what NFL coaches are looking for and presenting it on YouTube.

Joel Buchsbaum was a scout. He performed the duties that actual scouts perform and knew exactly what to look for and had that incredible memory for it. The difference was he did it on a National level while scouts usually are assigned a region because no healthy human being could do what Buchsbaum did. And even he missed badly on some guys (Keith Adams). But, he put the time and effort and had the experience and education to be considered an actual scout.

It sorta reminds me of some jamoke that does drip art and fancies themselves an artist because Jackson Pollock did drip art and was widely respected. What they don't know is that Pollock was well known for his beautiful contemporary art well before he got into drip art. He had the credibility because he put the time and had the talent that was on full display, so drip art could be taken seriously. The guy who takes a few art classes and does drip art and calls himself an artist is just tarnishing Pollock's work.

Granted, there were other players at other positions that rated higher but the Cowboys greater need was at DE, hence they went there. The Cowboys also felt strongly that they would be able to take advantage of the generous supply of DBs and still get a good one in the 2nd round. Hopefully, that might actually turn out to be true. Without a considerably better pass rush, it wouldn't serve their purpose to have excellent CBs without a pass rush being intact beforehand. I think they felt strongly that the need for a better pass rush was simply too desperate to forego.

That people still listen to this guy is truly amazing.

 

[drawandstrike]

Holy crap that last pic, I'd never seen his physique until now. With that frame, NFL Strength & Conditioning coaches really have something to work with there. He's got a frame where he could add a couple pounds of muscle and lose no speed. Played that last year on one foot? Now I'm salivating thinking what potential he could reach after 2-3 seasons of pro level coaching and conditioning.
