If Frederick beats out Costa or one of the terrible Guards then the pick is worth it. Not the best move but with Jerry picking you have to take what you can get.

Geno Smith isn't returning for tomorrow and declined on-air interview.

Maybe that pouting attitude is why he slipped.

Grades on him are 2nd and high 3rd mostly citing he's slow as shit and ran a terrible 40 at combine. WGAS how fast our center is? Only thing is we could've got him with our second probably.

He is actually a bit of a mauler. Something we desperately needed on the O-line. Weather he starts at center or RG he instantly is an upgrade to the O-line. With a second and two third we have a shot to build a pretty strong draft. Some excellent safeties are left that could step in and start and certainly some D-lineman to build some youth there.

Travis Frederick said he was surprised Cowboys picked him because, "I thought I was a 2nd round offensive lineman."

Last time I heard a Cowboys draftee claim he thought he went higher than he should've was when we reached for Shane Hannah.

Kiper named 3 head scratchers from tonight and didnt name Frederick.

So basically you can all suck it.

Sounds bright. Big virtue for a Center, if that is where they intend to play him.

It depends on who you read the info from. A lot of folks had him as a 2nd rounder, so it's not a bad pick at all. Especially given the weird run on o-linemen.

Frederick was a solid second rounder. I don't think he was one of those "first guys off the board in the second" players, necessarily.

But this kinda player you see go "early" in that range a lot and it works out a lot. Think Kevin Zeitler at 27 last year, he was really a 2nd before the draft. Think James Carpenter going to the Seahawks at 25. Think Eric Wood to the Bills at 28.

These guys were second rounders and teams value OL and sometimes reach for those guys. They are safe picks, not sexy, which is why they are seconds, but Dallas needs keepers. I could take it if it works out like those above names did.

It's not worth it if he could be had in the 2nd and we passed on first round talent in the first.

He's at least as good as Pugh or Long. Still a reach, but unlikeGiants or Bears the team has an extra 3rd to show for it.

Cyprien won't make it to our 2nd so I'm looking for a solid DL prospect. Follow that up with a Swearinger/Quissenberry combo in the 3rd and I'm a happy man.

Wahhh Non-scouts think he's a 2nd or 3rd rounder. Boo hoo

very nice player, huge need, you all will be sucking his crank when he blows up London Fletcher in the run game.

Not the guy I had pegged, but get Warford at 47 and gets better. Frederick will start for sure.
