Takk > Taco or Taco > Takk

[waldoputty]

According to Nick Eatman:
1. Cowboys really wanted Takk
2. Rumors were Falcons wanted to hop Dallas for a passrusher, which happened
3. Cowboys were probably aware but allowed it to happen. They settled for Taco because they did not want to give up the 3rd round pick that Atlanta gave up.

So we gave up the more explosive RDE because he had to draft more DBs.
This was because they were under pressure to draft a bunch of DBs because they were too cheap to resign at least Carr.
So for a couple Mil AAV, we had to settle for an inferior RDE candidate, even though we have cap space to spare.
More of the same bean counter at work...
Lets hope it is Spicy Taco and not Soft Taco...

We know the story by now for the Dallas Cowboys, they really wanted to take Takkarist McKinley. We know that to be a fact as reported by Nick Eatman, Takk was the pick at 28. However, often times, the draft throws a few curveballs. The day of the draft, rumors were swirling that the Atlanta Falcons wanted to trade up and hop Dallas for a pass rusher. They did just that by trading with Seahawks and snatching McKinley right at 26th overall.

Takk who?

Takk who?

Takk McKinley
The one with speed like Tapper but without the bad back (though recovering from shoulder surgery)

 

[okstateCowboy]

Takk is an absolute headcase

Takk is an absolute headcase

I was in SF last week, and actually heard the radio hosts go on about Takk.
Apparently both his parents abandoned him and the grandmother raised him.
Furthermore, he basically promised on grandma's death bed that he would get into the NFL...

Hard to tell until they play NFL ball. But takk missing half the season would suck.

What does not trading up for Takk have to do with Taco's combine 40 yard dash?

So glad Atl jumped them and took that lunatic. There is no way I want to cheer for someone who acts like that on national tv in their moment of glory. It's not like he didn't know he was going to be drafted for a couple of years now. To act like he did tells me he is dumb and likely to make huge mistakes as time goes on.

That might be true, but Eatman is basing it on the reaction the Cowboys had in the War Room, not on them telling him that they preferred Takk.

Most draft analysts had Taco rated higher than Takk. CBS had Taco at 17 and Takk at 31.

This was probably the deciding vote that a trade for another injuries player (Takk) wasn't made. Time to get over him and move on to what we have. It was a fantastic draft.

nothing, why?

 

[Risen Star]

McKinley definitely has more burst but Charlton has better length. Just different players.

i dont care what he says as long as he rips Brady's head off in the superbowl.

Never bought the hype on Takk. He might be very good in the end but was never high on him.

So what! So that excuses acting like an idiot on national tv? He knew he was going to be drafted for a long time. He did nothing but disrespect his grandmother who by the picture looked to be a classy church going lady. I doubt she would have been proud of him. He showed me just how dumb he really is and I don't want that in my lockeroom.

having the more explosive player is probably lower risk in terms of having a playmaker.
taco has had good reviews, but have never saw the term explosive used.
without the same burst, taco would have to win by other means

 

[NorthwestDallas40]

I like Takk > Taco. But I like Taco + Lewis (the 3rd rounder we would have to have traded) >>>>>>>>> Takk.

 

[darthseinfeld]

nothing, why?

Im just curious as to if Taco's 40 had anything to do with us trying to trade up. And why it lingered for so long

 

[Cowboys22]

It's not what he said, it's how he acted. There are others who can get to the QB. You don't need fools in the lockeroom.
