2022 Cowboys Draft Chatter Thread...

I just want McGovern to focus on one spot. He has been a RG, worked at center and then started some at LG this year. Stick the guy at LG and leave him there.

I agree. I still would have given him more time at LG than they did before yanking him. Switching sides isn't that easy - - it takes some longer than others. But Imo after four years we already knew Williams wasn't any good. All of us except his fan boys on BTB or wherever.

Farniok might even have a chance. He looked to me like he needed a good year in a pro weight program but he has some good qualities if he can add that weight and strength.

youre right. I think he needs consideration; open center up to competition. That wont kill Biadasz' ego.

Yeah and he is a guy I'd have focus strictly at center. Don't jack around with the guy, let him also focus on just being a good center.

I’m hoping Ball can assert himself at one tackle spot, it would help

I'm just hoping for swing tackle status next year. I don't want that to be a need in free agency yet again. Like every year.

They actually did okay with who they got. Fleming filled in. Nsekhe in a way.

No but Nsheke was like our first free agent signing. My point isn't that we can't sign a swing tackle, I'm just sick of it being a priority in free agency every year.

What makes you believe they don't think they can just do it again?

When Ball should be in the picture

I'm sure they can, I don't want to have to. Hopefully Ball is capable of at least that.

I'm sorry, this is a question I pose every year around this time, and the stupid part is, I know the answer.

Over the last, oh, five, six years, the Cowboys have had pretty decent drafts. Sure, there are needs here and there, but no one can say this is a team that doesn't have talent.

Meanwhile, Troy Aikman is out there saying that a team that never makes it out of the Wild Card round is really no better than the Jaguars or the Jets. That's Troy Aikman!! He cites what he believes to be profound DYSFUNCTION within the Dallas organization. And guess what: I trust Aikman to know that.

So given that the team has had a pretty good record in the draft recently, and most observers judge it as a talented team, and that the underlying problems go much deeper than making good draft picks, what is the point in dissecting the nuances of prospective draft picks?

It's not as if any one of them will change the underlying dynamic. The team could wind up with three or four or five great picks, but the result next year won't change. It hasn't for 25 years. Aikman nails it.

Sorry. There's the question. Why waste time rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic?

For the same reason Parsons made watching football more fun this season.

Are you asking why we, as fans of a particular team, would hone in on the one aspect of team-building the organization actually does well?

I think you answered your own question.

But they don't hand out trophies for astute drafting.They hand them out for winning. And as well as Dallas has done, there are still a few other teams who, clearly, do it better.

It all boils down to coaching once the draft is over.

If football is your favorite sport what else are you going to pay attention to between February and August?

Getting your blood pressure up discussing how ineffective Elliott is?

Maybe it's just learning to accept the fact that nothing will change between February and August. It hasn't for 25 years, why will it next year? Just saying ...

You and @Shiningstar need to start a message board.
