I don't get the Vitals hate...really took college basketball up a notch with his enthusiasm. If it was fake, then that would big me.

5.5 as a sophomore
1 as a JR
7 as a SR.

They aren't bad numbers but I'd expect more. However knowing a little more about how Oklahoma used him I'm excited. Probably the best DE prospect left.

If anybody was watching ESPN Kiper and McShay really loved the pick.
I think he has potential to be a Greg Ellis type for us. Not spectacular but not a scrub. A solid DE who can provide decent pass rush.

At Oklahoma he rarely got to pin his ears back and rush off the edge. Oklahoma played in more of a 3-4 type of system and they used Eric Striker and Devone Bond, a couple of undersized OLBs, as their edge rushers. So it'll be interesting to see how Tapper works out as an edge rusher.

Yeah, evrabody says that. Just sounds like he is solid versus underutilized.
Just watch him, it looked like he was doing lining heads up on O-lineman and doing read and react shit. A guy who is that fast and big is wasted doing that.

On call with DC.com, Charles Tapper called Garrett one of the greatest coaches in the NFL.

Other than that boo-boo, I liked his exuberant and talkative attitude.

Yeah, but I was hoping we'd make it this far without doing something stupid. Our first 4 picks were all in premium position. The 1st 4th rounder was basically like another 3rd.

Our compensatory 4th is at the bottom, so will be easier to swallow if we shit the bed with it. It will suck if we blow it, but hey. You gotta grab whatever you can with this team.
Yea, for us this has actually been a solid draft. No retarded reaches or picks that make you wonder what the hell they were thinking.

It isn't perfect, but for our standards, I'll take it.

This is pretty much my feeling.

Read that Tapper had the second-fastest 10 yard split of any DL at the Combine.

I think Tapper is a perfect RDE in this system we need some size at DE.

And he still has some upside.

He fits the grinder mode we appear to be at in regards to the DL. I will accept it.

They've done a mediocre job at NFL.com updating trades in their draft tracker.

Shit, Garrett and Jerry are discussing QB he is standing up showing a throwing motion. Probably trying to tell them to get Presscott..:budd

3 of our 4 picks have been front 7 guys. The other guy was a RB everyone wanted. So for the people wanting the Cowboys to build "the right way" this draft should be a big positive for them.

Jason Garrett very demonstrative in War Room. Standing up and making throwing motions. Looks like Will McClay's not on board with Garrett.
