And if I felt like it I could post the same amount of second round picks that were actually great picks you know it included Sean Lee and tank and plenty of others I mean you could just pick out the bad ones on every team in every round there's gonna be some that just didn't workout don't say ooh but it's a second round you can't miss no I bet there's a whole bunch of teams that have top 5 picks in the first round that were all bus you would you like to go over all that or you just like to rip on the Cowboys for another narrative that doesn't work they have just as many hits in the second round as they have misses... Been you know we've been through this before you guys post the same nonsense all the time so I have to keep going back and checking you guys yes those guys were all either not very good or average or below average jalen Smith was worth the risk other teams were going to take him they already had him targeted not far from where we picked him teams had picked guys have had catastrophic injuries in college or injured or had red flags because of injuries that's the risk you take for talent like that and he actually had a Pro Bowl season or two and had seasons where he led the seat like NFL and tackles he wasn't a complete bust.Too many 2nd round busts. They should not gamble on 2nd rounders. Make safe picks, high character, proven results, impervious to injuries:
Here is my 2nd round collection of forgetables in last 30 years:
2021 Kelvin Joseph CB, head case, but uber-talent
2019 Trysten Hill, DT, small school player Rob Marinelli swore by. This one hurt big time
2018 Jaylon Smith (gamble with an extra 3rd or 4th, not a 2nd)
2015 Randy Gregory -- no more known drug addicts
2006 Anthony Fasano TE dropped a sure TD in end zone in 2006 playoffs vs Giants. I have never forgiven this stiff for that,
2004 Jacob Rogers OL
2003 Al Johnson center. Very weak at point of attack
2002 Dwayne Goodrich CB
1995 Shane Hannah G, Kendal Watkins TE, wasted picks galore
And by the way weed is not considered being a drug addict there are a lot of players in the NFL and the NBA and other sports that take it for anxiety or whatever reasons but I get it but don't say Randy Gregory wasn't a talent I mean it's kind of funny though right if he was just a little better or stuck we had guys like Hollywood Henderson and dudes that were doing drugs during the 90s Super Bowls they called it the White House you ever hear of North Dallas 40 oh wait a minute who's that like linebacker I can't remember his name he was known for doing cocaine, LT ie Lawerence Taylor ,oh that's right one of the best to ever play the game let's stop judging people because they didn't make it in the NFL so then you bring up the fact that he's like to smoke weed, so did Ricky Williams and I agree his career wasn't the same because the league didn't accept it as much as he knew now...
There are a lot of guys in this league that have admitted in other sports and the NFL that they get high before games you'd never know it and there's others that take prescription drugs like Brett Farve so it was the prescription so somehow your excusing him because he's a Hall of Famer you know how often that was done people using steroids ,prescription pills ,smoking weed ,drinking, you know who is known to be drinking a lot that wore fur coats, and really lit up the nightlife, some of these guys were going out the night before games, yup Joe Namath. "broadway Joe" He didn't get that name because he liked to go watch stuff on Broadway l O l...
So you should probably be careful because the hypocrisy here of only signaling out a few like some of the leagues have where they made it a big deal and they ruined guys careers but the others are all excused because they were better players so it didn't matter that they were taking a handful of prescription pills to get through a game because they were called pain pills what do you think that people smoke weed for ? Yes to calm their nerves anxiety pain the same reason some people go decompress and go have three or four drinks after work it happens the fact that you judge people for that and say we shouldn't pick drug addicts I don't think Randy Gregory is considered a drug addict he just as I failed player because he wasn't motivated if I had something to do with the drugs okay but like I said there are lots of great players that I just pointed out that seem to function fine partying all the time and doing illegal illicit drugs or their flame alcoholics..
