Cowboys sign OT La'el Collins

Hard to fully grasp this. We drafted at number 27, and somehow ended up with 3 players rated top 20.

Unbelievable.

Uh, two of them were consider top 10 picks. Hell, Gregory at one point was considered a top 3 talent. We also reportedly had Byron Jones rated as a top 15 player on our board, so we landed three top 15 guys. It is utterly remarkable to have that happen.

That's the way to do it. Basically, it's the "we're not fucking around, so we're going to give you everything we're allowed to" approach.

It makes me give pause and wait to see how those lower draft picks work out before I'll bitch and criticize. The boys get an A in this draft

The best part was we found out we signed him right after all of the reports that he was going to visit another team.

Yeah, when I saw that he was heading to Miami next I was bummed. Then saw ten minutes later that he'd signed with us.

No shit. I turned my computer off after reading that he was on his way to Miami, resigning myself to the fact that we weren't going to get him. And 20 minutes later, I hear SVP and Rusillo say that we signed him. I've been in full-on homer mode ever since.

Yeah at that point I kind of figured he was going to go on a tour like a college kid and check out a bunch of teams.
 


We just added THIS to our running game.
 
My head is spinning. The fact that we not only significantly upgraded the team's biggest weakness, but also upgraded the team's biggest strength. Oh my God. This makes the 2005 off season look like rotten garbage.
 
Unreal. We had to know we had a great chance when he picked us to visit first and making him a fully guaranteed offer was going to be at least on par with what everyone else could do.

If he learns the fine art of jamming his fingers into the opposing player's facemask and down his throat, he'll be a carbon copy of Erik Williams.
 


The talent on this line is even more amazing when you consider just how young they are.

Jerry Jones deserves every bit of grief that he has received over the years but no one ever accused him of not being able to sell the living shit out of his team and close a deal.

Forget the swing tackle idea. Start working Chaz Green on the LG track immediately. Having him starting there in 2016 with these other 4 could move mountains.

Given the situation, it would've been epically stupid not to offer the best possible contract available to him. Monetarily, the cost is equivalent to pocket lint, the risk is zero, the talent grossly exceeds the contract value, and it keeps him off of the Giants, Skins, and Eagles. It is the purest form of a low risk / high reward signing if there ever was one. We had no choice but to do what we did. If I were him, I'd be insulted with anything other than a fully guaranteed offer with no contingencies.

Do you think that is what they will do or will they play Collins at LG?
