They cannot make the Lamb mistake again

[CouchCoach]

Yes, it was a mistake because it was all for flash and splash while bobbing around on the ocean, it was a pick for applause. It was all luxury for a team deep in needs.

The case some make is the value of Lamb at 17. Was he not a value at 16, 15, 14, 13? Why did those GM's pass on him? Because they're GM's with their jobs on the line to improve the team, not take a bow for a draft pick.

Another case is what D player was worth that pick? Chaisson? The answer is any D player that could help the worst D in the league and worst in Cowboys history. He didn't have to be a world beater, just a player they could count on to be 1 of the 11.

1 of 11. How many do they have now? If they'd used that on a D player, might they be closer than they are now? And what if he doesn't work out? Then they'd know and keep going back to the well.

I saw all of the celebrating here when they took Lamb and few asking why was he available? Partly because most GM's were trying to fill needs and partly because they didn't have him at 6th on their board.

He was the Cowboys first pick and led them in drops and was 2nd in the league in drops but his fans here will make excuses for him. And WR is the most plentiful position in the league.

This draft should be the easiest for the Cowboys, if they go D as they should have last year. Their needs are plenty and the only position they don't need with that first pick is DE.

The Lamb pick was a mistake and I had 0 doubt about that then or now. However, my greatest doubt about this team remains the same, they're just not good at talent evaluation and compound that by doubling down on some of their selections because they look at it from an ego standpoint. If it is mine, it must be good.

Lamb? No thank you, give me the beef!

Imagine thinking you determine all your draft picks based on current roster need.

 

[conner01]

Who would you have taken who could have been as equal of an impact
Chaisson sure hasn’t been so far
Lamb was the right move
Passing a much more talented player to fill a need is why much of the top 10 teams picking each year remain the same for years

 

[MyFairLady]

Jerry wants a first round 88 Jerry gets a first round 88. Don't you know how this works yet? By the way be prepared for a first round O line pick coming your way. Then we will get the explanation that we need to beef up the O line to take full advantage of all the highly paid talent we have at QB, RB and WR. Talk about your circular logic.

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

No regrets on the lamb pick. Needs to work on drops but he is Cooper's replacement in two years.

 

[Future]

Lamb was the best pick they could have made.

A passing offense is priority #1 in the NFL and whatever a team chooses to make #2 is way, way behind that.

 

[jazzcat22]

oh boy, here we go. Day one after the season ends, we get the rue thread on CeeDee.
We already had the trade Dak for Tua troll thread. And this was the 2nd thread I seen.

 

[John813]

Their draft board had Diggs not too far below Lamb FWIW. So, we might of gone Diggs in round uno if Lamb was gone

He was a luxury, but there wasn't a defensive prospect there that was near Lambs talent.
I have no issue with the pick

Just glad the Eagles didn't take Justin Jefferson. Dude had a monster rookie year.

 

[Hagman]

I think that Lamb was a great pick. When a Hall of Fame quality talent falls into your lap you take them, regardless of position. Think Randy Moss and the opportunity cost of passing up on him. Then imagine Lamb in an Eagles uniform for 15 years.

I agree......but why did he pick lamb? it meant jersey sales and more money directly to Jerry's pockets....

I want 11 defensive players picked this year. I don't care if we don't pick one offensive player.....given this FO defensive draft performance, the one way to solve it is to throw numbers at it and increase the odds of them hitting on a couple of good ones....

Not sure how someone can watch Lamb play and think it was a mistake. But hey you do you

 

[ChuckA1]

Imagine thinking you determine all your draft picks based on current roster need.

I think when your team needs on defense are so plentiful, a fan's criticism of going WR with their first round pick is justifiable. Lamb is a great player, but it seems we are farther away from a championship team now than we were at this time last year.

 

[ShortRound]

Defense? Pfft ... Wait until we draft Kyle Pitts

Lamb and Jeudy dropped because of depth at the WR position, and due to obscene talent at OT. They were the last two top 10 caliber players in the draft. No one after them was really close. Just look at the pick in between Juedy and Lamb. He wasn't considered much better than the guy we took in the 2nd

 

[Risen Star]

I want 11 defensive players picked this year. I don't care if we don't pick one offensive player.

And that's why your opinion shouldn't be taken seriously.

This is why I was never on Team Tank. We wouldn't know what to do with the #1 pick. I hate Jerry.

 

[glimmerman]

I had no problem with the Lamb pick. It will pay off in another year. We had a good passing game this season without our starter. Can’t cover all 3 of these guys if the QB has time.

I do agree that we need D this offseason and O-Line. Need DT. I have never been so embarrassed this year the way we got blown out in the middle. Not to mention LB missing the gaps. I think nolan needs to be gone today. Pick for need this year.

 

[jazzcat22]

Yeah but Wentz throwing to him or Cousins...big difference.

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

You never pass on really good players. Lamb is a really good player. And there is the definite possibility that Gallup is gone after next year. Lamb will be our #1 receiver moving forward.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

And that's why your opinion shouldn't be taken seriously.

what offensive position of need to we have? TE? WR? RB? OL? QB? perhaps we want a LT to replace Smith...but is that really a big need?

what offensive player would ahve a chance of making this team next year?
