2021 Cowboys Draft Chatter Thread...

You want Horn? That's what you get in that situation.

But seriously if you have Bridgwater, does that make a team feel good about QB? He would be nothing but a place holder if I was running a team.

And no, I damn sure don't want Horn either.

I think they're still hoping Lock turns into something.

Could be they want him to help Lock. I liked Lock when he came out. Guy has tools. But they haven't really progressed with Lock at all yet.

And a 6th for Bridgewater ain't shit...they could still take a QB is one is left.

And paying like only 3 mil.

Even if the Broncos go defense I think it's more likely Parsons than Surtain/Horn. OT is a distinct possibility too, especially a guy like Slater who could kick inside.

I thought someone posted it on these boards. Didn't watch the press conference myself. Or radio interview, whatever it was.

I think the Cowboys don't want to pay him 9 mil on the fifth year unless he lights it up this year. Which makes perfect sense. You don't pay 9 mil for what you got in the last two seasons.

But if they feel that way, why wait until after the draft?

Feels like they want to see if they grab another LB.

I'm still torn on Parsons. I don't think the Cowboys will. And generally I don't like first round LBers but man his physical skills could really help us.

Yep, if they resign him, they will resign him for the same amount regardless of what they end up with in the draft.

Yeah that's kind of stupid though. You either like him or you don't. No rookie should change that. But no harm in waiting and seeing what happens.

Are you new here?

Oh I've stopped trying to understand Jerry.

 

[Genghis Khan]

Wish we treated Jaylon the same way.

Amen.

I don't think Bridgewater is a sign that the Broncos pass on QB, if anything I think it's a cheap smokescreen that might make teams discount their desire for a QB.

Like really, Teddy fuckin' Bridgewater who won't attempt passes more than 10 yards down the field is going to stop them from taking a QB in the top 10?

If they are giving Lock some competition, yes.

 

[Simpleton]

I think the trepidation around LVE continues to be medical, the option is only guaranteed for injury, so there is no real downside unless he gets injured again and milks it for a free 9 million, which is a risk if he's quietly concerned about his neck and just wants to cash in once before cashing out and retiring.

From that perspective I think rejecting the option and signing him to an extension that is potentially cheap due to the cap shrinking and his lackluster 2020 would make a lot of sense, especially if it's structured to mitigate a possible early retirement. I don't truly believe that they want to get rid of him outright.

As an aside, hopefully this teaches them a fucking lesson to stop sticking their head in the sand when taking guys in the 1st who have medical red flags.

Same here. Trading a 6th for a placeholder QB wouldn’t stop me from drafting a QB if one slides.

moderator gents. why don't yall merge these two threads into one super thread?

Nah, we like to keep the draft leadup thread separate from the actual chatter thread. Makes it easier to find shit if you go back and look for stuff.

This one has over a thousand replies.

You want to sift through that to find where we all meltdown during the draft?

Everyone knew LVE was an injury risk before the draft. Stories about his neck were widespread....then he gets drafted here, starts strong, then hurts neck. Surprise!!!
