2021 Cowboys Draft Chatter Thread...

Lol what?

And we can resign Gallup if we want. It's better than getting zero return for the guy because we want to draft another WR(Called a TE) in the first.

I've said it before, if we can't help ourselves with Pitts then we need to shop Gallup right after the pick.

Who was the last WR you saw who weighed 240 pounds? Who ran a 4.46? Never been a thing.

Pitts can outmuscle DBs and can out-quick and out leap LBs. His blocking has improved every year, was quite good in 2020, and should improve in the NFL.

There's really no weakness in his game at the moment, unless you call out not being a dominant blocker as a weakness. Yet to be seen how he projects to the pros of course.

As for Gallup, you want him on the roster for his entire rookie deal, Pitts or no Pitts. No way I trade him for a draft pick when you can have him on the field. That season of production at a low cost is huge. Short of getting a 1st round pick, you never lose that.

In 2022, you simply aren't going to pay big money to Gallup when you have better performers in Cooper and Lamb bracketing him. Only if you want to dump Cooper's contract does this work. And you get no compensatory pick cutting Cooper like you would for not signing Gallup.

Simply put 2021 is the last season we see Cooper, Gallup, and Lamb all playing for Dallas.

Diablo would be good. He does a lot of the things that Neal will be asked to do.

Better start thinking now about guys who could step in next year when the one year contract guys leave. Especially at safety.

Diablo is a cool name for a safety. That's my opinion.

My post-Pro day choices for Dallas:

1) Trade down for someone targeting a QB
2) Penei Sewell
3) Micah Parsons (4.39 40)
4) Other Trade down
5) Kyle Pitts (4.56 40)
6) Kwity Paye (4.52 40, 36 reps, sub 6.5 second 3-cone)
7) Rashawn Slater
8) Patrick Surtain 2 (4.44 40)

A friend of mine is a massive VT fan and loves Diablo, so there's that.

That’s it, we’re signing bridge FAs. Those shrewd Joneses

Yeah I have no idea about his ability but I'd root for him in Dallas for the name alone.

Of course I remember liking Rambo for the name too...

By the way if we wait on corner for round two the guy I like is Greg Newsome. I think he could be really good. Not sure he makes it to us though.

You putting Paye above Slater and Surtain invalidates your list to me.

His pro day showed me something. 36 reps is just crazy natural strength or steroids. I look at him and see James Harrison.

Being strong doesn't make a good player in itself.

 

[NoDak]

If Pitts is this transcendent all world talent, why would he make it to the tenth pick?

I understand teams taking their QB at the top, but teams should be scrambling to trade up to snare this future HOFer, no?

Not a great pass rusher. I mean maybe someone can tap into the raw athletic ability but I don't see it in his play.

I'll say it now, Paye will bust no matter where he is drafted. My hot take of this draft.

and Taco......

I think he’s been trending up as a pass rusher. The measurables are really good. But he is flawed just like Slater (short arms) and Surtain (not a knock on him, but the depth available at his position)

Reminds me of the Michigan guy the Packers took not long ago. Rashan Gary.

How has he been trending up? Big 2 sack last season make you think that?

Taco is a nickname. The others aren't.

 

[ravidubey]

If he's Taco or Gary, then yeah take him off the list. He had two sacks in four games in 2020, but pre Covid his sack total increased every year.

Those elite measurables really catch the eye, though.
