theres sandbagging every draft, but after the pick I felt better and really felt like we tried to play some teams. I remember in december/november he was like a #3/#4 overall pick. I think teams were sandbagging hard on him. In Fairness, I think teams were also (probably us too) sandbagging Mason Graham. Teams took the bait on Tet. I had a feeling something was up when we did a personal visit with him. didnt seem like our MO. That said, I will die on the hill that IMO, we were prepared to trade back, the idea was if Ashton Jeanty fell, and I still think the Cowboys sell their soul for #8 if he was there, he wasnt so they stayed pat. Legit all of this falls in line with the rumors.

Well, not for shedeur, but Giants did what I thought. I absolutely think Dart would have been there in the second, moved up for 5th year option

Dont be shocked if one of Browns, Giants, or MAYBE saints, Raiders, or Jets could move up into the end of the first, less for the value, but for the 5th year option, same reason that we did.

Completely agree. I don't hate the defensive players, but the difference between shear Stewart and a middle second rounder isn't much to me but difference between tmac a mid 2nd receiver is massive

honestly, I love it. Rewards for production, cuts if not. We paid our own over achievers and moved on from guys who didnt do squat (or dramatic reduction in pay (IE Shy Tuttle). Players want to play for organizations that reward play, we've been kinda the opposite of that during much of the tepper term, but gotta change the perception at some point.

In fairness, he played with the guys, his job today is a lot different than it was back then. Yea, he knew ball but he wasnt breaking down tape and prospects the way he is now. He always was probably trying to be a good friend/teammate rather than breaking down why those guys are dogshit.

Dont be surprised if this happens, in fact, I REAAALLLY think it will happen. If Jeanty is there at 8 (high probability IMO that he is) then I think Cowboys will get aggressive to move up and get him. Not only is he the best RB in the class, considered the best RB in the draft and according to NFL.com is the single highest graded prospect, but on top of that he's from the Dallas metro, so on top of best RB, Jerry would also sell a ton of jerseys. Last point, Ive noticed over the years, certain GMs feel comfortable trading and working with certain other GMs and organizations, and considering Morgan made a trade of mingo last year with the cowboys tells me theres atleast a line of communication between the orgs.

Man, huddle is rough on that draft and I don't get it. They may not develop, but xl, sanders, and wallace ALL showed flashes of potential as rookies. In fact, I'd say jt sanders was the best rookie te we've ever fielded (I do also agree our history of drafting tight end has been trash, but still). We also got Coker as udfa, and people overlook and forget we swapped a useless 7th round pick for a pretty inexpensive yet decent corner in michael Jackson. Is last year's draft a home run, no, is it bad, so far no.

He is under club control for sure this year and 5th year option the next (there's NO SHOT we don't pick up the option)...so it comes from logic that we still have 2 years of club control of emwonu. Pretty simple.

good thing we have control of ikey for 2 more seasons then

Good move, doesnt stop us from drafting a center, the thing is we realized the importance of a good O-line last year, it was instrumental in Bryce's development, so having O-line depth is good and Corbett is a fine interior lineman.

I've had a boner for Green this entire process once I dug more on him on tape. I think he plays hard and violent and we need that. My only concern is the assault stuff. Seeing and wondering how that goes, however if we've done actual dilligent background work and he clears, we need him in a panthers jersey.

I agree, I think the pick at 8 will be Jeanty, but its gonna be another team picking from a big swing to get him.

God, Reading the write up on Mike Green just makes me want him more. In the weaknesses it has listed Plays so hard that he occasionally runs out of gas. Lol Thats akin to hearing "My biggest flaw is I work too hard"....except its not him saying it, its the analyst lul.
