2022 Draft Weekend Chatter Thread...

At least we didn't take Strange. The Pats are so weird.

After seeing that Patriots pick, maybe they were right.

Right in what?

Panicking?

 

[boozeman]

Why do you say that? Somebody on the Ticket (Brugler?) said he had position flex and eventually would be a tackle.

That is the party line.

I just don't see it with his measurements.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Then the board is broken.

I am telling you. Maybe Vital leaving was a big deal.

The Cowboys always claim this shit. It will get leaked who was the real top talent. I'm sure we had a high second round grade on him. And our 15 first rounders were gone. But that doesn't mean he was our best available.

Yes. That.

This is what people were saying they wanted. Somebody able to step in at guard, then eventually take over at tackle.

Guess it just remains to be seen if he can do it.

I wanted Strange in mocks I did. In the 3rd after we had taken DL and WR or whatever.

 

[lostxn]

That is the party line.

I just don't see it with his measurements.

6'5" 324lb. Sounds like a tackle to me. Tyron Smith is 6'5" 312 and Lael 6'4" 322 lb.

Again, I have only seen his college highlights so perhaps you're more familiar with the player.

His name is very close to Tyron Smith. That's all you need to know. They can use the same jerseys...

What is wrong with his size? 34 inch arms not enough for LT?

You can Brady Bottle Lock it. He will not.

If you read the post I quoted, it's not hard to figure out what I was referring to.

But carry on with your bad self.

 

[NoDak]

Well, fuck. That sucks.

 

[ravidubey]

And I am going to say this right now.

This was a left guard pick. Not a tackle. I know people will pretend he is that for a while, he's not.

Sure.

In 2011 would you have called the 9th pick overall a RT?

Tyler Smith will play LG in 2022. BFD.

He’s 20 years old, they are projecting him to LT when he gets more muscle and reps,

Am I pissed that Johnson is going to be setting the edge and crushing QB’s somewhere else, yes. Am I pissed watching really good players stil being drafted (Dax Hill to Cincy— wow). Sure.

But I’m not going to dis a solid player in Smith.

Blame the assholes who reached, not the player who is still a top 40-50-layer.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

I didn't, I wanted a mauler at guard. Strange looks undersized and weak to me.

 

[NoDak]

Correct. We all know it's the same old bullshit party line. I don't get when people get all bent out of shape over what amounts to nothing but hollow lip service.

Are those arms too short?

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Sure.

I'd been hearing for awhile that the media was overrating Johnson. I may actually be higher on Karlaftis myself. I know a lot of the talk with Jermaine Johnson was that he really took a lot of pass rush plays off. Karlaftis is a never take a break kind of dude.

 

[NoDak]

I prefer that mauler, just like you. But I do think this guy will be a good player. Just a terrible, terrible value at where he was reached for.

 

[Clff15701]

I called it! Beyond parody.

That is scary.

 

[NoDak]

Vikes gonna take Nakobe Dean? There have been rumblings they like him.
