2022 Draft Weekend Chatter Thread...

Any guesses when this tweet was dropped?

Um, 9:52 PM?

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Um, 9:52 PM?

Yeah, I don't think Jackson is particularly happy. But the Ravens got good value for an underachieving draft pick. I can't hate them for that.

Now the Cardinals, they should be ashamed. I guess anything to try to keep Kyler Murray happy.

 

[ravidubey]

Good god.

If you project two years, he probably will be.

 

[shoop]

Why are they even there? They don’t pick until day 3.

 

[lostxn]

Anybody got a non-pixelated view of our draft board? Fucking Jerry…

 

[shoop]

And no QBs until 20. When was the last time the first 5 picks were defense? Ever?

[Chocolate Lab]

Has anyone heard this morning abot what happened to Johnson, why he fell so far? Any new rumors or anything?

 

[shoop]

Have fun with Jalen Hurts as your QB.

 

[ravidubey]

Probably the best WR in the division.

Not pleased

Thankfully, like with Tannehill, he'll be limited by Jalen Hurts

NFL mock draft for Rounds 2 and 3: Dane Brugler has Malik Willis to Seahawks and Desmond Ridder to Titans
Dane Brugler
Apr 29, 2022

With 32 picks in the books, our focus now shifts to Friday night and Day 2 of the 2022 NFL Draft, with most eyes on the quarterbacks.

Pitt’s Kenny Pickett was the only quarterback drafted in the first round, leaving several passing prospects searching for a home in Rounds 2 and 3. For the first time since 2007, there is a good chance we have more quarterbacks drafted in the second round than the first round.

Second Round

33. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Logan Hall, DL, Houston
An ascending player, Hall gives Tampa inside-outside versatility on the defensive line.

34. Minnesota Vikings: Kyler Gordon, CB, Washington
After adding Lewis Cine in the first round, the Vikings continue reshaping their secondary with Gordon.

35. Tennessee Titans: Desmond Ridder, QB, Cincinnati
Ridder is an athletic passer who can be groomed behind Ryan Tannehill (the Mike Vrabel-Luke Fickell connection doesn’t hurt).

36. New York Giants: Nakobe Dean, LB, Georgia
The Giants added a pair of cornerstone players in the first round and could add a third with Dean.

37. Houston Texans: Breece Hall, RB, Iowa State
The Texans have shown considerable interest in Hall as the potential feature back of the offense.

38. New York Jets: Jalen Pitre, S, Baylor
The Jets already upgraded the secondary with Sauce Gardner and might be looking to add a safety on Day 2.

39. Chicago Bears: George Pickens, WR, Georgia
Despite a few red flags, Pickens has the traits to develop into Justin Fields’ WR1.

40. Seattle Seahawks: Malik Willis, QB, Liberty
Seattle is in good position to land a quarterback with one of these next two picks, and Willis is still on the board.

41. Seattle Seahawks: Arnold Ebiketie, Edge, Penn State
Ebiketie has twitch and length that will appeal to the Seahawks’ decision-makers.

42. Indianapolis Colts: Skyy Moore, WR, Western Michigan
One of my favorite fits on Day 2 would be teaming Moore with Michael Pittman in Indianapolis.

43. Atlanta Falcons: Matt Corral, QB, Ole Miss
It will be interesting to see if the value of one of these quarterbacks is too great for the Falcons to pass on.

44. Cleveland Browns: Drake Jackson, Edge, USC
A young player with disruptive rush traits, Jackson checks a lot of boxes with the Browns.

45. Baltimore Ravens: Travis Jones, DT, Connecticut
After missing out on Jordan Davis in the first, the Ravens land a powerful, explosive interior presence with Jones.

46. Detroit Lions: Andrew Booth Jr., CB, Clemson
Injury concerns dropped Booth this far, but the Lions stop his slide.

47. Washington Commanders: Sam Howell, QB, North Carolina
Washington is ready to ride the Carson Wentz roller coaster, but Howell gives the organization a long-term plan.

48. Chicago Bears: Perrion Winfrey, DT, Oklahoma
Winfrey gives the Bears the interior disruption they have been searching for this offseason.

49. New Orleans Saints: Jaquan Brisker, S, Penn State
Brisker would be the finishing touch as the Saints revamp their safety depth chart.

50. Kansas City Chiefs: David Ojabo, Edge, Michigan
The Chiefs already drafted George Karlaftis in the first round, but the value with Ojabo, who will need a redshirt year as a rookie, is too good to pass up.

51. Philadelphia Eagles: Christian Harris, LB, Alabama
An above-average athlete, Harris has speed and coverage ability that will appeal to the Eagles.

52. Pittsburgh Steelers: Bernhard Raimann, OT/G, Central Michigan
The Steelers got their quarterback, and now they must protect him by adding more pieces on the offensive line.

53. Green Bay Packers: Boye Mafe, Edge, Minnesota
Three picks, three front-seven defenders for the Packers, which is very on-brand.

54. New England Patriots: Leo Chenal, LB, Wisconsin
With his size and competitive profile, Chenal is an ideal fit with what the Patriots traditionally covet at linebacker.

55. Arizona Cardinals: Roger McCreary, CB, Auburn
McCreary might lack ideal length, but he can play inside or outside, which is what the Cardinals need at the position.

56. Dallas Cowboys: Sam Williams, Edge, Ole Miss
Like with Tyler Smith in the first round, some might consider this a reach, but Dallas will stick to its draft board.

57. Buffalo Bills: Kenneth Walker III, RB, Michigan State
The Bills passed on the temptation to draft a running back in the first round and still land one of the best this draft has to offer.

58. Atlanta Falcons: Troy Andersen, LB, Montana State
Andersen is a special athlete and the type of building block the Falcons should be targeting for their rebuild.

59. Green Bay Packers: Christian Watson, WR, North Dakota State
After going defense, defense, defense with their first three picks, the Packers finally land a toolsy pass-catcher.

60. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Trey McBride, TE, Colorado State
Regardless if Rob Gronkowski plans to return, McBride would give Tampa and Tom Brady another weapon in the passing game.

61. San Francisco 49ers: Cam Jurgens, OG/C, Nebraska
With his athletic profile and tenacity, Jurgens is a promising center prospect ideal for the Niners’ scheme.

62. Kansas City Chiefs: John Metchie, WR, Alabama
The Chiefs have gone defense-heavy so far, but Metchie is a dependable receiver who will form a quick connection with Patrick Mahomes.

63. Cincinnati Bengals: Josh Paschal, DL, Kentucky
The Bengals will be looking to upgrade the defensive line at some point in the draft, and Paschal offers inside-outside versatility.

64. Denver Broncos: Chad Muma, LB, Wyoming
With his blend of smarts and speed, Muma is an active tackling machine who will see the field very early as a rookie.

Third Round

65. Jacksonville Jaguars: Cam Taylor-Britt, CB, Nebraska
66. Minnesota Vikings: Nik Bonitto, Edge, Oklahoma
67. New York Giants: Dylan Parham, OG/C, Memphis
68. Houston Texans: Nicholas Petit-Frere, OT, Ohio State
69. Tennessee Titans: Jamaree Salyer, OG, Georgia
70. Jacksonville Jaguars: Luke Goedeke, OG/C, Central Michigan
71. Chicago Bears: Darian Kinnard, OT/G, Kentucky
72. Seattle Seahawks: Tariq Woolen, CB, UTSA
73. Indianapolis Colts: Zyon McCollum, CB, Sam Houston State
74. Atlanta Falcons: Cameron Thomas, DL, San Diego State
75. Denver Broncos: Greg Dulcich, TE, UCLA
76. Baltimore Ravens: Daniel Faalele, OT, Minnesota
77. Minnesota Vikings: Jalen Tolbert, WR, South Alabama
78. Cleveland Browns: Alec Pierce, WR, Cincinnati
79. Los Angeles Chargers: Abraham Lucas, OT, Washington State
80. Houston Texans: Nick Cross, S, Maryland
81. New York Giants: Joshua Williams, CB, Fayetteville State
82. Atlanta Falcons: Isaiah Spiller, RB, Texas A&M
83. Philadelphia Eagles: Kingsley Enagbare, Edge, South Carolina
84. Pittsburgh Steelers: Phidarian Mathis, DT, Alabama
85. New England Patriots: Damarri Mathis, CB, Pittsburgh
86. Las Vegas Raiders: Coby Bryant, CB, Cincinnati
87. Arizona Cardinals: DeAngelo Malone, Edge, Western Kentucky
88. Dallas Cowboys: Jeremy Ruckert, TE, Ohio State
89. Buffalo Bills: Calvin Austin III, WR, Memphis
90. Tennessee Titans: Myjai Sanders, Edge, Cincinnati
91. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Luke Fortner, OG/C, Kentucky
92. Green Bay Packers: Joshua Ezeudu, OT/G, North Carolina
93. San Francisco 49ers: DeMarvin Leal, DT, Texas A&M
94. New England Patriots: Khalil Shakir, WR, Boise State
95. Cincinnati Bengals: Jelani Woods, TE, Oklahoma State
96. Denver Broncos: Akayleb Evans, CB, Missouri
97. Detroit Lions: Channing Tindall, LB, Georgia
98. Washington Commanders: Brian Asamoah, LB, Oklahoma
99. Cleveland Browns: Alex Wright, Edge, UAB
100. Arizona Cardinals: Sean Rhyan, OG, UCLA
101. New York Jets: Rasheed Walker, OT, Penn State
102. Miami Dolphins: Amare Barno, Edge, Virginia Tech
103. Kansas City Chiefs: Charlie Kolar, TE, Iowa State
104. Los Angeles Rams: Christopher Allen, LB, Alabama
105. San Francisco 49ers: Danny Gray, WR, SMU

NFL Draft best players available for Dallas Cowboys: Logan Hall, Skyy Moore

By Jon Machota
3h ago

FRISCO, Texas — The Cowboys believe they addressed multiple offensive line spots by drafting Tulsa offensive tackle Tyler Smith with the 24th overall pick Thursday night. Smith will have an opportunity to immediately start at left guard and then transition out to left tackle as the potential heir apparent to eight-time Pro Bowler Tyron Smith.

Dallas’ top remaining needs are wide receiver, defensive end and tight end, but best player available should still be the goal. The Cowboys have two picks on Day 2, one in the second round (56th overall) and one in the third (88th overall).

Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said Thursday night that their draft board has “emptied out pretty good” in terms of players with high second-round grades.

“When you only have 14 first-round grades,” Jones said, “there’s communication around the league, I think that was pretty much down the middle, in terms of what other teams felt like they had in the first round. When that’s what you have, what’s coming next is the top of the second-rounders. They picked through us pretty good there.”

Cowboys analysis: No. 24 OT Tyler Smith
Draft grades: Sheil Kapadia weighs in on the picks
Big board best available: Who’s left from Dane Brugler’s Top 300?

Here are 30 notable players still available that make sense for Dallas on Day 2.

Nakobe Dean, LB, Georgia. A large portion of the fan base wanted Dean in the first round. What if the Cowboys found a way to get him in the second and pair him with Micah Parsons? Dallas would likely need to trade up to make that happen.

Andrew Booth, CB, Clemson. Teams can never have enough quality corners. Booth would be a tremendous value if still there in the middle of the second round.

Arnold Ebiketie, DE, Penn State. The Cowboys could have addressed edge rusher at Pick 24 when Jermaine Johnson and George Karlaftis were still there. They obviously thought the offensive line was a much bigger need. But they still could use some help getting to the quarterback.

Travis Jones, DT, Connecticut. The Cowboys say they like their depth at defensive tackle with Neville Gallimore, Osa Odighizuwa, Trysten Hill and Quinton Bohanna, but if the right player is there, at the right value, why not add more talent to the position?

Logan Hall, DE, Houston. At 6-6, 283 pounds, Hall totaled 6 1/2 sacks and 13 1/2 tackles for loss last season. His size makes him a good fit to rush the passer from the outside on first and second downs and slide inside on third downs.

Jalen Pitre, S, Baylor. The Cowboys haven’t drafted a safety in the first two rounds since Roy Williams in 2002, but maybe this is the year that streak comes to an end.

Skyy Moore, WR, Western Michigan. The Cowboys would like all of their wide receivers to play on the inside and outside. At 5-9, 195 pounds, Moore best fits in the slot. He had 1,292 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns last season.

Trey McBride, TE, Colorado State. Most consider McBride the top tight end in this class. With Blake Jarwin no longer on the roster and Dalton Schultz under the franchise tag, Dallas needs another tight end who has the potential to become a starter.

Jaquan Brisker, S, Penn State. The Cowboys are solid at safety for the 2022 season with Jayron Kearse, Malik Hooker and Donovan Wilson at the top of the depth chart, but they could use a fourth, especially someone like Brisker who should become a future starter.

David Ojabo, DE, Michigan. If not for suffering an Achilles injury at Michigan’s pro day, Ojabao would likely have been a first-round pick. The Cowboys like taking chances in the second round, and Ojabo’s upside might just be worth that risk.

Chad Muma, LB, Wyoming. Micah Parsons, Leighton Vander Esch, Jabril Cox and Luke Gifford are a solid group, but another linebacker is expected to be drafted at some point. If the Cowboys don’t like their second- or third-round options at DE, WR or TE, a quality linebacker could make sense.

George Pickens, WR, Georgia. Without the injuries the past two seasons, Pickens would likely have been a first round pick. He has good size for the position at 6-3, 195 pounds. If he can stay healthy, this could be a steal for the Cowboys in the second round.

Boye Mafe, DE, Minnesota. He continued to improve throughout his college career and could progress into a valuable starting NFL pass rusher. Mafe (6-3, 261) had 10 tackles for loss and seven sacks last season in 13 games.

Cam Jurgens, C, Nebraska. Going back-to-back offensive linemen in the first and second round probably doesn’t make a lot of sense with Dallas’ other needs, but Jurgens was one of the Cowboys’ 30 pre-draft visitors and they wouldn’t mind competition at center.

Sam Williams, DE, Ole Miss. Another pre-draft 30 visitor, Williams has been a name mentioned as a Cowboys possibility for the last couple of months. The 6-3, 261-pound edge rusher has room to improve, but he was very productive in his 13 games last season, finishing with 12 1/2 sacks and 16 tackles for loss.

John Metchie, WR, Alabama. Like Pickens, injuries are the reason Metchie has a chance to fall to the Cowboys on Day 2. A combination of Metchie, CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup would set Dallas up well for the foreseeable future.

Jeremy Ruckert, TE, Ohio State. An official pre-draft visitor of the Cowboys who didn’t put up huge numbers in college. But like Schultz, Ruckert has the ability to be even more productive in the NFL.

DeMarvin Leal, DT, Texas A&M. Another one of Dallas’ 30 visitors, Leal could help Dallas at multiple defensive line positions, likely making his biggest impact on the interior as a three-technique DT.

Jelani Woods, TE, Virginia. One of the Cowboys’ 30 visitors, Woods had a productive senior season on the stat sheet, totaling 44 catches for 598 yards and eight touchdowns.

Myjai Sanders, DE, Cincinnati. Why not include one more 30 visitor? At 6-5, 228 pounds, Sanders would likely need to add some weight to be a full-time defensive end for the Cowboys, but his explosiveness makes him an intriguing prospect.

Here are 10 others:

Drake Jackson DE, USC
Perrion Winfrey, DT, Oklahoma
Jalen Torbert, WR, South Alabama
Christian Watson, WR, North Dakota State
Christian Harris, LB, Alabama
Phidarian Mathis, DT, Alabama
Kingsley Enagbare, DE, South Carolina
Greg Dulcich, TE, UCLA
Josh Paschal, DE, Kentucky
Cade Otton, TE, Washington

Um, 9:52 PM?

I was leaning more towards when they traded away his WR.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Has anyone heard this morning abot what happened to Johnson, why he fell so far? Any new rumors or anything?

Honestly I've been hearing for weeks that the media people liked him way more than team scouts did. I think it's just that while he flashes, he take a lot of pass rushing plays off. That he wasn't really a consistent impact pass rusher in college. I think people are shocked but I don't think this is one of those he has a dead hooker in his closet situations. I think he was just being overrated by the public.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Probably the best WR in the division.

Not pleased

Thankfully, like with Tannehill, he'll be limited by Jalen Hurts

Lamb is still better in my opinion. But I like AJ Brown. I feel bad for him that he has a handicapped QB.
