2023 Draft Weekend Chatter Thread...

This just makes no sense. New OC and we take all defensive players and a round early at that. Dak is hosed.

No faith in Schottenheimer’s kid?

Guess I'll go back to drinking.

Ans I guess they like Malik Davis and Dowdle.

Or Davis and Jones. We like what we have.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

I like it too, but my head is focused on our need at RB

Now it’s clear Dallas doesn’t feel the same way at all. They likely believe Jones and Pollard have us perfectly covered.

I hadn’t pictured Jones getting a ton of carries, but at this rate he’s going to

I'm not even focused on need. I just don't see this guy ever becoming an impact on the Dline. He is a Golston backup to me.

We could have got a corner if we were going defense that I think could have been a legit future starter. Or RB or OG or WR. But we went with a guy who looks like a career utility Dlineman. Our dline is stupid deep and this wasn't some stellar value. He was basically what you expect for a DE this late in the draft.

I wasn’t going to, but I might day drink.

It’s like to keep Quinn we handed him the keys to the team.

 

[Tony D]

In theory they are stacking talent. We are cherry picking weird ones.

That's fine. They're the favorite now. See how they handle it. Can't have a much better season than they did last season. One injury to QB and poof.

 

[armadillooutlaw]

Jesus, I feel for Dak. They basically said, fuck it, you're paid make due

Don't agree. Lamb, Cook, Pollard, Ferguson, still a decent OL, now a second round TE. Not a cast of stars, but his cupboard ain't bare.

It is an odd dynamic because McCarthy seems to be slitting his own throat.

22 tackles for loss last year is impressive and it wasn’t a fluke. 22 career sacks over 3 years and Conference DPOY. Dude is an average athlete but just knows how to play the position.

Every team is poof with the QB injury.

We’re gonna run the damned ball, damnit .

He‘s clearly the most powerful coach in the room.

It's far from filled. Shit you could have drafted Vorhees if you wanted a future starter. So ignore next season. Did you add any building pieces for the offense in this draft? Any? Nope? Great

That was in the Mountain West.

He is the fattest.

Dammit!

God if we had gone defense I would have preferred to at least go corner whore with Rush or Trice. After Mazi just no bright spots in this draft to me. Fehoko better have felt like a steal to them because it feels like a guy who we just didn't need. I'm just not into these guys. Hope I missed something.

Talent wise they have been solid grabs — except for Overdraft in the 3rd.

We only have had four picks, and darned near at the back of each round. I am incredibly happy with the 1st pick, OK with the 2nd and 4th, and bewildered by the 3rd.

Can’t compare with Philly’s truckload of picks, it’s apples and oranges.

I’m just happy Philly is overvaluing the Georgia connection. I’m not a believer in the Bulldog back seven talent as they benefitted too much from having an all-NFL caliber DL. In college that’s too big an advantage and IMO it skews their actual NFL worth.

We need to find out it Michigan has a running back available. Seems to be the only way players are considered.

Problem is depth. WR3 and RB2 is pretty lacking.

We have 900 TEs though, which is nice.
