    He and Williams are the same sort of guy, but Mafah doesn't have the knee injuries.  Ultimately, the Cowboys RB room is even more unknown than last year.  Blue is COP back and has ball security issues.  Good thing is a good coaching staff can correct his fumbling problems and he has juice but he's too small to take more than 10-12 touches a game on average.  Mafah and Williams are bruisers but lack burst and wiggle.  We still don't have a lead back, it's a room of RB2's, which hit was last year but at least Dowdle had the size and burst of a lead guy.  idk, I don't hate it, but I would have taken something in round 6, but RB is a place you can find a UDFA or guy off the garbage pile and to really help..... at least a good front office can.

    Need a WR weapon or someone in that room will really need to improve.  

    Is it weird I feel the RB room is better tho? Like I like the upside potential of the young guys. I like that Zeke isn’t there.

    definitley need WR

    I’ll tell you who SHOULD have been taking a QB in this draft is Carolina

    Probably a good point. Maybe they are fighting for Arch next year too lol

    There is no upside. 

    I actually agree here. He does have the arm strength needed for the nfl, or downfield accuracy. He also is injury prone.

    idk…I wish the best for him. I’m sure he will be fine

    He is now in the top 5 best available in case fuckers thought he was drafted. They really promoting him now. 

    Some guy named Mellott just got drafted over him…

    Heart breaking for Quinn. 

    I feel like it validates a lot of what we said here. I feel bad for him for his hopes and dreamS on a human level, and that he is a Longhorn… but the play kinda spoke for itself

    There is no question, but, that is not the way of the modern NFL. Every team, even the Packers or the Patriots, has fallen prey to drafting the next guy in the very high rounds.  Most of the time, it doesn’t work for the bulk of the league.  Sitting the bench early and learning for your first 2-4 seasons simply is never done. If it was, stache has a point. The model is drafting guys with a ton of starts and letting them sink or swim. Shedeur never was good enough to be a “good” starter in the NFL as stache said. He’s just wrong. 

    I do agree with the idea that guys starting against quality competition in college is a good metric. But I do feel some guys could benefit from the old model…even tho it’s few and far between

    All totally different situations. First of all those guys were drafted between, what, ‘99-‘05?  None of them was as high profile as Sanders, as a first round talent, though Rodgers clearly was a first round talent even in ‘05. All of those guys had something in them that’d work as a temporary backup until their skills or the right situation (Payton) manifested in their ability to be starter. 

    In this league now, you start right away, or you go away, and oftentimes both as has been the case with Lance, Pickett, jones, Jones, Wilson, Rosen, Lynch, Wentz, Mariota, Bortles, Bridgewater, Manziel, etc. - both. I’m not saying it’s the proper way of doing things, but it’s the reality in today’s NFL. Stashing Rodgers, Love, Brees or Romo is neither conducive to today’s NFL because it just doesn’t happen (unless you’re Green Bay or Sean Payton is in your orbit), nor is it conducive to the ego/circus that is the Sanders family. 

    What stache is describing that Eskimo jumped on with my “terrible take” is really hard to happen in todays NFL, and absolutely will not fucking happen with Shedeur Sanders. 

    I actually disagree with this somewhat. 
     

    QB contracts keep getting set higher and higher. Teams are in a situation where they can’t just be drafting backups and paying them early round money. Trey Lance is a perfect example of a high level bust. There are many others.

    Jordan Love was an early round find that developed before taking the reins. 

    In my opinion, it’s smarter to take a qb later, pay them less money as a backup and let them earn a way to play. Those opportunities absolutely come up. They are given multiple chances until they just flame out or are a career backup. When that time comes, you better be ready… 

    unless you’re a generational talent of course
