The price for not keeping Dalton Schultz

[CowboyJ70]

Just curious for the fans that hated the Schoonmaker pick, would they be that much more angry if the team selected much higher rated Mayer or even LaPorta in the first??? Would you rather have Mayer in Rd1 or Schoon in Rd2. You have to pick one or the other.

Just for fun, took a gander at a couple of predraft ratings for schooner. 104 and 96. 96 is late 3rd, 104 is 4th.

Randomly looked. Not hard to find that he was not rated a 2nd round talent.

NFL had him at 44. Cherry picking is fun!

Certainly is. But when 25 out of 30 say one thing, it has to be considered the consensus.

Couple of things.

1) You have not remotely come close to demonstrating a consensus and I would venture to say you don't have any idea how to do so.
2) Look up the bandwagon fallacy

It is no contest. Mazi Smith and Schoonmaker.

There is no way that he would have been available at pick 90. Besides that, they got Smith, Schoonmaker, and Overshown. That's an excellent haul.

Nah. The best evidence is his draft position and past history of Cowboys draft success and the Johnny Come Lately draft experts here’s lack thereof

32 out of 32 said that Brady wasn't even a 5th rounder.

We had to settle for Schoonmaker because Booger and Chuckles opened their big mouths AGAIN about the need for a TE....such idiots!!!

 

[kskboys]

To say you completely missed the point would be a huge understatement.

To say you missed my point is an even bigger understatement.

 

[kskboys]

Dallas Cowboys did. All that matters.

And another swing and a miss. Getting to be a habit.

 

[kskboys]

I've seen the Cowboys miss on some drafts and hit on some. If you pass on a guy that you really like because ESPN or whoever rates your guy as a 3rd or 4th rounder and then somebody grabs him in the 2nd after you just passed him up and the guy turns out to be an excellent player, welllllll, the ESPN 2nd guesser will probably have an excuse all ready to go.
The Cowboys thought Schoon was the right guy for their needs so I'm going with the Cowboys. Now if he just gets healthy and stays that way.......

It wasn't BSPN or whoever. It was everyone.

Got a nice ceiling, though, maybe he'll pan out and prove worth a 2.

Looking at last season, TE was the offensive position least in need of upgrading. WR had no depth after Lamb, RB was wiped out by the end, and the OL was problematic.

Don't believe the spin doctors, Schoonmaker was not the TE they wanted in the second- but the team "had" to take one. To be fair, he might have been the best one left at that point. Still smells like a reach to me.

Ah, apparently so is jumping to conclusions!!!!!!!!!

How in the world did you miss where I said I simply picked a couple of scouting reports at random? Too busy agenda driveling, maybe?

Since he does have upside, I desperately hope we got this one right and he turns out to be top 5 or 6.

It could very well be.

Absolutely nothing wrong with the draft haul that they got.

 

[MRV52]

Any tight end can catch a 10 yard pass. No big loss really let's move on.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

I just cannot bring myself to rue the loss of Schultz.

Sorry.

 

[john van brocklin]

Well he would be, I mean that's not a lot of money.. however they had a plan, so since they had a plan he was not worth keeping for $9 million


the plan was draft two tight ends in 2022 and one looked pretty solid with a lot of upside and then they drafted another in 2023..bases covered.

Yes sir!
Nice plan, well done
