5th Round Pick: Matt Waletzko, OT, North Dakota

[p1_]

This guy is the surprise pick of the cowboys draft, I just watched the Senior bowl game and he was physical and quick for his size. He played in the beginning of the 2nd half of the game and he can play in the NFL NOW!!! He should not start but he is definitely a backup tackle for us. I watched him play in the senior bowl practices and he seem better than Pennington. He is very athletic, physical and tough, he is our HIDDEN gem of the draft. He might be our future left tackle and Smith can be our Pro Bowler Guard. I'm excited about this draft.

I think hes in the swing rotation plan.

So watching this guys college tape is hard. He is playing against future garbage men. But that's what's fun about the Senior Bowl. A small school guy gets a chance to actually play against a higher level of competition. I didn't see this stuff when I watched Senior Bowl practices initially but this guy is a fun dude. Way better power and leverage than I thought you'd get for a guy who is this tall.

Like I think booze said, it's crazy how similar this guy is to Ball. I suspect he gets the same redshirt/weight room year Ball got. (Unless Ball just can't play and that's why they hid him, but I doubt that's it.)

That was Ebiketie, Mafe and Luketa in the 1:1's, not bad.

I don't think that's actually the plan. I think Dallas actually see's this guy as a swing tackle right now. He looks more physically strong than Ball did. I actually he is more NFL ready than Ball was when we drafted him. Not saying the guy is ready to start but I think he has more strength and anchor to his game than Ball did a year ago.

Both are/were not ready.

Waletzko has a tough job ahead, learning the game, gaining about 20-25 pounds, and over however long the latter takes him not getting cut in the mean time

He is far more functional than Ball.

I admit I thought ball initially too. But this guy has way more functional strength and base.

I hope Ball has packed on some muscle amd is there too. But last year he wasn't.

Ball just looked like some bendy guy, I did not see much power from what I saw of his clips from Marshall.

Probably holding. :(

Not probably. It well guaranteed be holding.

I haven't seen this much excitement since that shitty draft where they didn't pick until the 3rd round.

I wonder what Jason Williams is up to now. I heard he jumped, get this, OUT OF A POOL ONCE!

Next Patrick Willis. Not guessing.

Oh, you listened to that draft analysis? He loved every player.

Yeah that draft may have been one of the worst ever I can remember.

I don't remember Jason Williams being the guy who jumped out of a pool.

I don't think he was.
