I'd agree with that. Unless something wildly different happens from expectations, you've already lost a year from this guy's rookie contract. To me he seems like a bigger risk than Myles Jack, while Myles Jack was still on the board. If we were drafting at the bottom of the 2nd that's one thing, but this was the 34th pick in the draft, there was 1st round talent available with not nearly as many IFs attached.Jaylon Smith a C.

Even if we redshirt him, we have a consensus top 5 player at LB for 3 years and at the age of 21. By the time his 2nd contract rolls around, he'll just be entering his prime.I'd agree with that.

Jaylon is Myles Jack in reverse. Jaylon's knee when it is all healed up should be structurally perfect. It's just a question of how long it take for the nerve to heal itself. Myles Jack healthwise right now is probably as good as he will get and it's only going to get worse from here.I'd agree with that.

When people talk about contracts it's as though Jerry is going to let a 24 year old stud out the door to another team. Dude isn't going anywhere if he pans out. Just like Tyrone Smith, just like Dez and just like Romo. Jerry just doesn't let players like that walk out the door. And the NFL system is set up to help owners do that.Want to dock his grade cause of the injury, fine. But if healthy, he's an A+. Dropping him over two full letter grades cause of a lost year is stupid. What will we say about Zeke if he tears his knee in TC? Ooops, wasted pick cause we only get him for 4 years now! Dumb.
I don't know how anyone can grade this pick at this point. None of us know how severe the injury is.Even if we redshirt him, we have a consensus top 5 player at LB for 3 years and at the age of 21. By the time his 2nd contract rolls around, he'll just be entering his prime.

Ditto, Cook is a tool.With the way it shook out, I'd rather have Tapper/Dak then Cook/BPA.
That's kind of how I feel.I don't think Prescott is any good, But I would far rather Try to make Prescott work from the late fourth round, Then to waste a second and third on Lynch like they tried to do.That's my guess here. We all knew it. I'm fine with it this late.
Agreed. Two days ago, we thought it was all doom and gloom for him. Then yesterday we heard it may be better than expected. The only people who truly have a grasp of the situation are the decision makers.I don't know how anyone can grade this pick at this point. None of us know how severe the injury is.
I hope we stick with Dak and Kellen Moore as the backup QBs and honestly I think we will. My worst nightmare is probably giving up resources for a guy like Cassel who gives you the exact same results as Dak or Kellen Moore. We will live and die by Romo next year so lets just all hope Romo has a healthy year again.Why is everyone so worried about Romo? Once Goff and Wentz went off the board the chance of us getting a good qb prospect went out the window. If Tim Tebow can play in this league then Dak will be fine as a backup. If Romo were to get hurt we will lose every game and end up with another top 5 pick. No worries...
A QB in the late fourth is really just a lottery ticket anyway.Oh, well... I didn't like the Prescott pick, but I'm over it. No point in continuing to cry about it. Can only hope now that I am wrong about him. Which wouldn't be much of a surprise, I guess. I've been wrong about players before.
Fuck you, Bobby Carpenter.
He's a Cowboy now. Here's to hoping he turns in to something. I am still happy with this draft overall. Hopefully Peake or Listenbee falls to us in the 6th, and we pull the trigger. Would also like Mills or Cash at safety.
I think he is a really good fit as a backup for Reid.Kevin Hogan to KC
I really like the prospects of our running game with Zeke behind this line. A chance to have a balanced offense, take pressure off the passing game and do some real damage. And if something happens to Romo again not having to solely rely on the arm of the backup QB.The idea of Elliott though is that maybe we can have a running game that can carry this team if Romo does miss time ala Adrian Peterson just carrying the Vikings during some years of really bad QB play. Elliott isn't Adrian Peterson but Adrian Peterson never had our offensive line.
