Cowboys do nothing in free agency and then go cheap in the draft. I wonder why. :thinking:

They’ve actually had a good draft. Their last two picks are extremely physical guys Center Cooper Beebe and LB Marist Liufau.

I like the 3rd round for sure. Undecided on the 2nd. We just really don't need edge guys.

The picks given up is quite fair to fill an immediate need for us.
A guy who had a 4% chance to be there in DeJean and Mitchell was mocked in the top 15 in the draft.

Philly was smart Slay isn't the very good CB anymore and Bradbury is older. This let's DeJean rehab most of the year he and Mitchell should be a good duo going forward.

Ravens had a good draft as well

You talking about Kneeland? From what I’ve read about he’s excellent against the run. He should develop as the replacement for Demarcus Lawrence who is in the last year of his contract.

Cowboys missed out on Jonathan Brooks but there are still some very good RB’s still on the board. Hopefully some of them make it to the 5th round.

Here is some clips of Kneeland. The Cowboys should have the best pass rush in the NFL this season. This is also DLaw’s last season in Dallas so Kneeland really is a good pick.

I'm legit excited for this Jarrian Jones guy, dude looks like a legit slot CB, something we haven't had since Aaron Colvin.

Sorry but I just have an issue when people refer to any draft picks as steals without knowing how they will perform at the pro level so it's all speculation as far as I am concerned regardless on where they were taken. I rather use the term steal after a full year or two as a pro. And if Mitchell's hype has more substance to it, he wouldn't have drop out of his projected draft range to be referred to as a steal. Maybe refusing to play with Terrion for Saban might have something to do with it too or he doesn't want to handle real pressure at a top program. Terrion is the next Surtain II, who I was also very high on in that draft. Guess what, I was screaming for the Eagles to draft Kyle Hamilton, who is now a first team all pro with twice as many sacks as Jordan Davis, whom you were probably jumping for joy when we took him, yet he has done **** as to why we struggle at the line on defense.

I watch full college games, not just highlight reels, so I trust my choices over Howie but if I am wrong on Mitchell, I will admit it. Hopefully I am cause we need him to excel and not end up like your Davis.
