I'm not arguing for taking Tyson, I'll start with that fact.

But for arguments sake I really like Tyson as a WR. Looks like a Lamb clone to me. So take me back to the 2020 draft. Cowboys have what looks like 2 dynamic WRs on the roster in Cooper and Gallup. They have need for a pass rusher on defense. Chaisson is the pass rusher they are likely targeting. But sitting there is Lamb, a guy who is a dynamic WR.

Fast forward 5 years and its pretty obvious Lamb over Chaisson was a world's better choice. No one saw the retarded Cooper move coming. But right now we have no idea if Pickens is in the ling term future in Dallas. Lamb in hindsight makes all the sense in the world because you don't know what the team will need a year or two down the road. Meanwhile Chaisson has bounced around and finally had a decent year as a pass rusher.

My point in all this is take the special talent over a guy who looks like a run of the mill player.

In theory, sure, but Lamb was an even more obvious BPA at that point and our duo now is significantly better than the one then.

I was totally in favor of Lamb then but taking a WR now would be completely idiotic unless something truly insane happened like Lemon dropping to 50 or something after we've traded down.

Tyson maybe being a top 8-10 guy isn't anywhere near enough value for me to take him at 12. It'd have to be a clear cut top 3 Marvin Harrison Jr. prospect falling to 12 for me to even consider it.

Schrager is the one guy I trust with this stuff.

The funny thing is I'm listening to Broaddus right now and he just said they've eliminated Bain. Maybe we'll see who's right.

He also said he thinks Dallas will sit tight at 12.

He also said they might take Tyson at 12 if Styles, Downs and Delane are all gone.

By the way this is all couched as "he has insider info".

Edit: Broaddus said the reason they're out on Bain is because of the arm length, and they feel the same way about Howell.

I don't trust anything Broaddus says. I think he has connections outside of Dallas but I don't think the organization tells him shit. They know better then to tell that dufus anything real.

I feel the same way but it'll be interesting to see if he's wrong.

If he's right we might not know it but if they take one of these guys it'll be pretty funny.

I mean I've said for awhile we need to add 2 LBers in this draft. Just not sure I ever imagined double dipping at the position that early. Pass rusher would worry me but I really like Reiger so I can't complain too much. I do think he is a guy that could come in on subpackages and get after the QB.

Yeah there’s a lot of good talent to be mined at EDGE and CB for sure.

Linebacker less so, it’s almost like you have to get a second round pick to land one of the big three after Styles

I’m not a fan of Allen or Hill at 20, but then I can only go by these publications and rankings.

Maybe at least one NFL teams is set on picking either in the 1st round.

Yeah, several locals have said we don't like Bain. So it's interesting to hear Schrager say the opposite.

On the arm length though, I remember someone, I think Belt, say this coaching staff (Parker) had some prototype things they were more adamant about than even the last few coaching staffs.

And this is totally hypothetical because I'm not advocating Tyson at 12. But take the pick out of the mix. What I'm saying is the gap between Chaisson and Lamb is similar to the gap between Faulk and Tyson. Chaisson was all potential but not real production.

Keep in mind I think Tyson is better than Tate. He would be my WR one in this draft. But I don't know if the hammy is something to be concerned about. Previous year he broke his collarbone, I kind of chalk that injury up as more of a freak thing.

If there weren't injury concerns I think his tatalent puts him as an easy top 10 pick in this draft. Even still I think he is likely gone before 12.

In what way, like they won't do short arms?

I think so. I think that's even the specific they were hinting about, although they didn't say it had to be specific physical traits. I was hoping they meant more no lazy or stupid players.

There is way more deep than you're giving credit. Golday is a certified badass with the protypical size you're looking for. His biggest knock is they moved him around so much that he becomes a slight projection as a full time LBer. But you're talking about a guy who was used as a DE, LBer, nickelback. They moved him all over.

Trotter is a certified beast against the run.

Kyle Louis is probably too undersized but holy shit if you forget the guys size he is incredible as a play maker.

Kaleb Elarms-Orr has the size, elite athleticism and really good production.

Hell I just started watching Rolder from Michigan and he is a hell of a LBer too.

Harold Perkins is an elite blitzer, elite speed. Highly productive.

You can go all the way down to Karson Sharar from Iowa who has really good speed, instincts and is your classic get the job done Iowa LBer.

This LBer class goes real deep beyond Allen, Hill and Rodriguez. I don't think you're giving it the credit it deserves.

Yeah I don't think Parker is the arm length whore we have seen in the past. Otherwise Durant wouldn't be on the roster.

I think what he is really particular about is the mental stuff. He isn't going to want dummies on the defense. No Diggs like player who blow basically every coverage as soon as you make things slightly complicated. I also think physicality is going to be a big trait he has harped on. He wants guys who will play with violence. So players that shy away from contact probably won't be players we are interested in either.

So yes I think Parker is going to have a "type" but as fans it's going to be hard to measure who fits in that box. With arm length it's easy, you just look it up and see guys you can cross off the list. But when you talk about intelligence and physicality, there really is no measuring stick to point to and say, we won't draft that guy. But the scouts probably have that rated.
 


Dear God this is horrible. If we do anything remotely like this, we are dumber than I thought.

Out of curiosity what do you hate outside of Faulk at 20? Let's talk about it. Because I like Delane, Height and Elarms-Orr. Faulk at 20 makes me throw up in my mouth but no point in rehashing that one.

Delane is close to a best case scenario at 12, Height is nice in the 3rd, it sucks that ILB is still mostly a gaping hole but we know they'll make some sort of trade.

Since I like Faulk I'd feel good about this class, not perfect but it never is.
