THE OFFICIAL 2024 - 2025 DALLAS COWBOYS SEASON THREAD || 3 - 3 Thank God for the BYE

[essential1]

St. Brown-WR for me.

Crosses fingers.

 

[suavamente]

Not mad at the draft at all

Our downfall last year was mostly when Tyron and Sean were out (LT and run stopping LB play)

easily addressed both with the first two picks, WIlliams has been a rd 1 grade all year

Gallup is solid, the talent gap between the WRs is not substantial

 

[essential1]

There's three guys I really wish we could still nab.... But would have to add an early 4th round pick..
Equanimeous St. Brown, Maurice Hurst (Foley Fatukasi if Hurst is gone) and Shaq Griffin.


If we don't add a pick, maybe look to move up a handful of spots from 116 to ensure we can get either St. Brown or Hurst.

To get from 116 to 107 (Giants are 108, Racial Slurs are 109) it would cost us pick 192 or 193. I'd make that trade.

I just hope we get Shaq Griffin at some point, I really like the way he plays. If he had both hands he would be a easy 1-2 rounder.

Truth.

And at this point, round 4, you're drafting backups/major projects for the most part, so it's not like we're drafting him to be an every down guy. It would likely be the best situation for him, and he's a really good fit for our type of LBs. He's a fast LB, which is what we draft/want. High motor, and gets to the ball.

 

[essential1]

I hate this draft. Hate it.

 

[InTheHallway]

Tavon Austin just salvaged our draft ... Now Earl?

 

[floodarea]

Nice move getting Tavon

Low risk, high reward

 

[nflowshoe]

Looks like next year I won’t use the Cowboys kick returns/punt returns as bathroom/snack breaks.

I hate this draft. Hate it.

LOL yall complain about everything

 

[D StaXX]

Just traded Switzer for Jihad Ward from the Raiders and picke dup Bo Scarbrough from Bama

 

[N41D]

There’s nothing wrong with this draft.

You know what I like most about it? It has the very distinct feel of not being run by Jerry.

 

[InTheHallway]

I was wondering what we were gonna do with Austin / Beasley / Switzer ... I wonder if Ward is any good ...

 

[suavamente]

essential1 you're too smart too be saying that **** lol

We addressed all of our needs, got a stud LB, a first round graded O linemen, one of PFF's highest rated WRs, Jihad Ward, a competent pass rusher from Kansas who was productive while playing hurt, a TE who David Shaw said was the best he's coached (Ertz, Fleener, Toilolo also played there), and a bruiser to compete with Smith for RB2

no one sexy, but got depth the places that plagued us

 

[essential1]

Each pick there were better players available that filled a need as well and we passed.

Just because I hate it. Doesn’t me it was a terrible draft.

 

[suavamente]

To each his own

We're still the 3rd best in division on paper

NFC is loaded this year, but you never know

Between how Dez was handled and like you said, this draft... it seems Stephen got the keys

The last 2-3 years have felt that way to me

 

[mr s j king]

Giants got a running back that runs a 4.41.
We got a linebacker that runs a 4.68.

 

[N41D]

Bingo. And the last several drafts have been pretty fruitful.

The only “Jerry” pick since Mo Claiborne to me is Randy Gregory. But even that you could argue they graded him out too high to pass.

Can argue on a couple of evals here and there, but the roster depth they’re actually starting to develop suggests they’re drafting well.

Trading a 2 or 3 for Earl would’ve been insanely Jerry.

Sean Lee ran a 4.71 out of college and probably more like a 4.9 now........

What have you seen from Vander Esch that made you compare him to Sean lee?

 

[nflowshoe]

Nothing never heard of him till the cowboys picked him. I was just saying he is a little faster than Lee so he might be able to make an impact.

And?
