[Cowboysrock55]

Yep, this is usually a sign of a weak draft at the top. Just lacking those standout stars that you just know will be studs.

Which is totally ok since we don't pick in the top 10.

Got luck as shit last year, that's for damned sure.

10e. Eyioma Uwazurike, Iowa State

I wonder why this guy doesn't get talked about more. He has like ideal size, looked really good moving during the combine drills and had 9 sacks last year. At 6'6" 320 pounds it's pretty damn impressive. Played basically everywhere on the Dline.

I saw him today. Bears a look for sure.

My thing is that I hope a lot of the new breed of GMs are not as smart as they appear.

I remember him being talked about as a day 2 type, I wouldn't consider him until the 3rd but wouldn't blink if we took him there or in the 4th.

He is one of those rushers that you can hit on in that range.

Kind of reminds me of a bigger version of a bad boy DT we got from Iowa State before. Maybe a little David Irving like. I love a good 6'6" DT though.

Nice work.

 

[boozeman]

Nice work.

It was weird because the Lions pick determines everything.

They may go for an end, but their secondary is trash and Hamilton would pull it together. That probably has zero chance of really happening.

I didn't think about trades but I have to think the Lions don't want to be there.

 

[bbgun]

what's the nightmare scenario for Dallas? Green, Johnson and Dean off the board?

Brugler's latest:

24. Dallas Cowboys — Treylon Burks, WR, Arkansas
The Cowboys’ No. 1 goal this offseason: Make the offense more explosive. Amari Cooper will not be with the team much longer, and Burks might be too talented to pass on here. The fact that he is from Jerry Jones’ and Stephen Jones’ alma mater is just a bonus.

56. Dallas Cowboys — Chad Muma, LB, Wyoming

Dane Brugler NFL Mock Draft 3.0: Post-NFL Combine buzz puts Travon Walker, Ahmad Gardner and Trevor Penning in top six

Four offensive tackles are in the top seven and five Georgia Bulldogs are in the first round as the draft process enters its pro days phase.

Just say no to a WR/CB in the 1st.

Muma would be money in the 2nd, but give me an OL/DL/LB/S at 24, there is almost no scenario where there isn't an available worthy player at one of those positions.

 

[Simpleton]

what's the nightmare scenario for Dallas? Green, Johnson and Dean off the board?

Even if that scenario happens it means that someone like Karlaftis or Linderbaum will be available.

There's no mathematical scenario where Karlaftis, Linderbaum, Jermaine Johnson, Ojabo, Jordan Davis, Kenyon Green, Zion, Travon Walker and Dean are all gone unless something impossible happens like 0 QB's or 0 CB's go before we pick.
