  1. a little extra koolaid to get you through the hot dry summer.  short snippets of the 2018 recruiting class.  this one has the potential to go down as one of the best ever.  may be the best DB class of all time anywhere when its all said and done.

    While overshown my end up sliding down to LB, he and foster may be the hardest hitting DB's we have had since westbrook, and stearns may end up being being the best of the bunch due to his ball skills. it's too early to see how they all develop but i would say right now that rising throws the best ball on campus...

    A team that drafts for back-ups fails. This has been a frustrating draft watching the Cowboys get a thousand WR’s, a QB they didn’t need and a backup RB. You find backups in the open market and on practice squads, not in the draft. 

    yeah, teams should only draft starters with every pick, might as well make that all pros with every pick.  i know the patriots felt stupid drafting garoppolo as a backup to brady.

    Does anyone else roll their eyes and look at their phone when Dying Wife shows up? 

    I roll my eyes everytime Paige Is on screen.  Horrible storyline and I’m a little tired of 98lb girls going around kicking guys asses on screen.  I’m all for suspending reality a bit but this is just ridiculous.

    I didn't get drafted.  Again.  Had some off field issues but nothing too crazy.  I don't know.  

    its just that your off filed issues involved students and/or livestock so...

    If you are going after a lineman that you expect to play year one, I think you pretty much have to take one at 50.

    You can probably get Jordan Jenkins in the 6th round which takes care of TE.

    4th-5th we need to grab either Hines, Wadley or Smith at RB

    I like throwing a 5th or 6th at Callaway and that covers WR. 

    That leaves a 3rd and one 4th to cover Safety and DL.

    do you mean jordan aikens at TE? if you do, he will most likely be gone by then...

     

    if you want a RB then i would go with hines.  dallas lacks team speed and this guy would be one of the fastest in the NFL, he is like a better dwayne harris.  also is a plus kickoff returner and would bring a nice change of pace on third downs etc

    So you'd think they are less likely to take WR or DT now?  Kind of proving my point.

    What are you talking about?  your point was that this timing was good to confuse teams when it actually clarifies what dallas will do by adding a number one need, TE.  they can get by without another Wr or Dt early in the draft but not TE now with this announcement.  reality is the opposite of your point.

    what sucks is that connor will go to the browns with the first pick in the 2nd so he can spend his time in that hell blocking for the biggest douche in the NFL.  also, the giants will happily just sit there and grab harold laundry giving them the best draft in the league through two rounds without having to move.

    i think the cowboys now take gesicki, with their pick if he is still there in the second.  they would have taken the best WR left if not for the witten announcement.

    Given how close Witten was with Garrett and Jerry, I seriously doubt this news is taking them off guard.  They knew.

    On the bright side, they timed this so that now teams are less certain about the guys Dallas will target.  Witten retiring exactly 15 years from his original draft date was not a coincidence.

    It’s done just the opposite, now teams know dallas is desperate for a TE. If they had waited everyone would think they going after a WR or DT early.

    I don't think this impacts the draft at all and I seriously doubt this decision was spontaneous. 

    it could impact the earl thomas trade big time.  Now WR is probably off the board in round two.  Now they must go TE instead

  9. i had no idea was that good a tackler and led the country in tackles around LOS.  after watching more film of the guy i am liking this pick.  great athlete, can run, great tackler with excellent hands and a nose for the ball.  causes turnovers and makes plays in big situations, gets better with every game he plays.  im sold on the pick.  fits the biggest need the cowboys had.

    Stop trying to make this pick give you the warm and fuzzies.  Our wr corp is abysmal and for some fucking reason we passed on wr1 and wr2 in the entire draft.

    there wasn't a real stud wr in this draft worthy of a high number 1 pick.  i bet there will be wr's in the later rounds that will prove to be better than ridley or moore.  one of them i would love the cowboys to get in round two is anthony miller from memphis. or even dj chark from lsu in the third...

    the fact ridley and moore slid so far tells you that NFL people didn't think they were studs like julio jones or megatron...
