2013 NFL Draft Chatter Thread--25-27 Apr

[Simpleton]

If it was up to me I would have went:

18. Sharrif Floyd, DT Florida
47. Larry Warford, OG Kentucky
80. Alex Okafor, DE Texas
114. Johnathan Franklin, RB UCLA
151. Josh Boyd, DT Mississippi St.
185. Kevin Reddick, LB North Carolina

After the trade down I would've done:

31. Matt Elam, S Florida
47. Larry Warford, OG Kentucky
74. Alex Okafor, DE Texas
80. Barrett Jones, C Alabama
114. Johnathan Franklin, RB UCLA
151. Josh Boyd, DT Mississippi St.
185. Kevin Reddick, LB North Carolina

Both of those are pretty much ideal based on what fell where. I'm sure the Cowboys staff would be perplexed at the lack of TE's and CB's and the inclusion of, god forbid, multiple offensive and defensive linemen.

And either of those (esp the 2nd) would've been a damn sight better than we did.

No, I want linemen dammit. ShitassfuckbarbarastreisandMOMMEATLOAF!!!!!

I like looking back at the chatter threads sometimes to see what I missed.

This was good.

 

[VA Cowboy]

At the very least we should've received both of the 49ers 3rd round picks in the trade down. Here's several players that would've been available with SF's 2nd 3rd rounder:

Brandon Williams, DT
Sam Montgomery, DE
Zaviar Gooden, OLB
Akeem Spence, DT
Alex Okafor, DE

Despite the reach for Frederick in the 1st I would've easily taken the trade if we got him plus T. Williams and then one of the players above.

Easily or not, you'll still take the trade.

 

[VA Cowboy]

NO... I reject it outright.

 

[NoDak]

NO... I reject it outright.

Oh, well shit. I wonder who we will get to play center for us now?

I am going to stop doing mock drafts with what I want for the Cowboys and instead take who I know we will thanks to our dysfunctional system.

So lets go with your draft and why it won't work for the Dallas Cowboys...this is from Jerry's perspective:

18. Floyd - Short arms, not "quick twitch"...yeah I think that's what I heard Mariangelo say one day, then Monte said he wasn't a great fit and that he wanted a Sapp, and he's no Sapp.

47. Warford - Big guy, like that, reminds people of Larry Allen, wait Callahan said he couldn't be a zone blocker, whatever that means. Gotta go with that.

80. Okafor - Name is too hard to pronounce. Move along.

114. Franklin - Heard somebody say if they had two Murrays everything would be perfect. He looks too short.

151. Boyd - I think he has short arms. Not sure. Better ask whatever position coach happens to be in the room what he wants and go with that. There's Henderson.

185. Reddick - North Carolina? Wonder if Butch knows him? Wait we just took a middle linebacker one year, can't remember which. Monte did say he wanted linebackers but he said outside, outside, no, he's not outside.
