Dallas Cowboys Metathread - Oh No We Suck Again!
The guy we took at the 29th pick, which most services had projected as a first round pick was not a reach. Our second round pick was projected to go in the second round. Our third pick was projected to go in the 2nd or 3rd round. This wasn’t a classic Jerry Jones special taking guys before their projection because he just fell in love with them. I wish we had taken a RB with our second pick in the third round and found a linebacker somewhere else through free agency or trade. That’s my biggest critique. But we all knew OL was a bigger priority so I cannot complain about the first and third pick.

Dallas Cowboys Metathread - Oh No We Suck Again!
The Vikings depleted a lot of draft capital to take a QB who has limited game film. An act of pure desperation. But that’s “winning” the draft? If JJ is not a sure fire starter, that’s going to be one of the biggest flops in recent memory. But by all means, go ahead and call them a draft winner without even knowing if the future they just mortgaged was worth it.

Dallas Cowboys Metathread - Oh No We Suck Again!
Draft grades in general are fucking stupid. And this hot take is stupid even for draft grades. He is penalizing Dallas for taking high upside infrastructure pieces because the head coach is trying to win now to save his job. Would it have been a good draft for the Cowboys then to act desperately and mortgage away their future to fix one or two immediate holes? By this logic the Vikings must have had an amazing draft. Well run teams don’t take WR’s and RB’s in early rounds. They take infrastructure pieces. Unless you point out where Dallas reached in taking these players, I don’t see how it’s that low of a grade.

Guys like Rasheen Ali were available in the fifth round. Not sure what their plan is when you could have taken a quality back that late in the draft. Outside of not taking a RB everything else seemed fine. No big reaches and trading down to get Beebe for free was solid.

Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
No one wants Brooks, the top running back taken in the draft over LJ Johnson who might get passed up this season by his own teammate, Ruben Owens. That’s some serious Aggy logic at work.

The hit rate on selecting players that are projected around where Dallas takes them has been pretty good. Getting Beebe for free made this a pretty good draft so far.

I’ve seen some mocks that had Beebe in the first round. Certainly a projected second round player. The adults in the room are definitely running this draft for Dallas.

They took a player on one of the lines that was projected at or higher than where we took him. Not sure you can complain about the pick.

It’s also entirely possible some of the guys have simply been replaced by AI.

2024 NFL DRAFT
I realize a lot of this is opinion and conjecture, but who the fuck watched film and thought JJ McCarthy is a better prospect that Penix or Nix? The Vikings took a guy I think that goes in the 3-4th round in any other draft.

Dallas didn’t fuck up the draft so far. They trade back, get the guy most thought they take at 24 and get an extra third round pick. That’s about as good as it could have gone.

Well, shit. Our questionable secondary did not need to lose a starter.

I was thinking this with Golden and Bolden. Someone is going to be second team and I cannot think Golden especially came to Texas to be the 4th or 5th guy.

I wonder if not playing in the Spring game was a tell. The secondary looked like shit and it wouldn’t be improved by losing our best player there.

Wasn’t Red the one that got in a heated argument with one of our coaches on the sidelines during a game that was visible during the broadcast?

Spring Game - 4/20/2024
Sure looked that way Saturday. Watching Taaffe’s bizarre play it reminded me of playing Madden 95 on Sega and you clicked to change the player and dive and the player you immediately switched to dives crazily in the wrong direction of the play. It’s the only explanation to explain Taaffe diving randomly into the opposite direction of the play. Someone must of been controlling him remotely and they hit the wrong button.

Our safeties, including veterans look lost still. I’m about to go Office Space on Gideon and ask what is it that you do here?

Spring Game - 4/20/2024
Agree. I was speaking in context of evaluating the wide receivers. Watching a receiver run a fly route and catching a deep pass against busted coverage doesn’t say much about that receiver. Cook made contested catches for first downs against our best corner and that was encouraging.

Spring Game - 4/20/2024
Johntay Cook had some really nice routes and catches going up against the ones. He’s definitely one of our starting three. As fun as it is to watch a wide open receiver catch a bomb, that doesn’t tell us much. On the Manning to Blue TD, Taffe looked like a walk on. He took such a terrible angle that he nearly tore his own ACL. That was brutal to watch. I bet we see Mukuba and Williams as the starting pair for most of the snaps this year.

I don’t see what Baker has to do with landing these three tackles. They are all connected to Nansen and NIL is doing the rest of the work.
