Yea I hate that they passed on Slater and hate that both CB’s were gone but Parsons might be the best defensive player in the draft. He’s definitely going to help the run defense. Looking at this film Parsons looks like a bigger faster version of Jamal Adams. I don’t hate the pick at all. He just has to stay out of trouble off the field. He has a reputation of being a bully. That’s fine on the field he just needs to learn how and when to turn it off. We don’t need him beating up teammates or anyone else.

This might be the end of Jaylon Smith in Dallas. If he does stick around he’ll be playing on the strong side. He better have a pro bowl caliber season in 2021 or he’s definitely gone. Same goes for LVE.

Sean Lee retired last week, finally (thank GOD). And we are still waiting to hear about Vander Esch and the news and rumors I'm getting don't sound positive. Feel real bad for Vander Esch however. Looks like his neck issues are forcing to leave the game so taking Parsons makes all the sense in the world.

I haven’t heard anything about LVE’s neck issues still bothering him. I have heard that they likely will not pick up the 5th year option on his contract. That means he’ll be playing in a contract year this season. He better hope he can stay healthy. This is the way I expect they will be played this season.

After those two I’m looking at OL Teven Jenkins, OL Liam Eichenberg, CB Tyson Campbell, or DT Levi Onwuzurike.

LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah would be great but would also seem like overkill. Asante Samuel Jr would also be great but Cowboys might think he’s too small.

I really love Tevin Jenkins out of Oklahoma State. On the other hand, Javonte Williams from North Carolina is still on the board. IMHO he is the best RB in the Draft and 5th overall player in the draft. That is why I brought up Elliot's contract earlier last month.

Javonte Williams honestly might be there in the 3rd or 4th round. RB is just not high on anyone’s board.

The Cowboys have 4 picks today (one 2nd, and three 3rd’s). I read last night that they likely will not be moving up. They have a lot of holes to fill and will more than likely use all the picks today instead of packaging them together to move up.

With this extra 3ird round pick thanks to the Egals, we have more leverage now to do things like combine our 4th and one of our 3ird's to move up in the second round for better talent.

I'm hoping with our 4 picks tonight we get an OL- Teven Jenkins, DT - Christian Barmore and many Cowboy fans hoping we take S- Tevon Moehrig. I believe I would be happy if we got one of those guys in the second round.
Me I would do something different. I still would for sure draft one of those players in the second round mentioned above. This is where I would trade Elliot for someone's second round or stud CB. Use that pick for Javonte Williams and eat the dead money on Elliot. Patriots want to get rid of Gilmore and his contract. We get one of the top corners in the league and the Patriots for sure could use an RB. Win, win for both teams.

I don’t think they could trade Elliott because of his contract and cap hit however I do think they will trade Gallup today. There have been rumors that the Cowboys have been talking to the Jets for pick 34. I’m hoping it’s for Trevon Moehrig, Christian Barmore, or Teven Jenkins. All of those guys are studs and anyone of them would be a great addition to this team.

I've been a Cowboys fan for a long time. Usually when a draft has a ton of flags, it ends up working out very poorly. This reminds me of some of the drafts from the early 00's.

They had the draft capital to move up and take some studs at positions of need. Instead they took a bunch of reaches. You never know how things will work out but I would probably rate this as Dallas' worst draft in a while.

A guy can dream a little once in a while, can't he? I'm just done with Elliot and can't wait till he leaves whenever that is. I had the feeling all day we wouldn't get any of the guys I listed above. Cowboys have been sucking in the second round for years. I was a bit disappointed we never got one of them. Damn bears took Teven Jenkins. He was the guy I really wanted. Once the Patriots moved up to take Barmore, I knew we would get screwed this round.

Kelvin Joseph does have some red flags for sure. The kid and flat out play though. Physically, athletically, and skill wise the kid has it. Don’t forget he was recruited and started at LSU before ending up at Kentucky. He was second in the SEC in interceptions, he’s a ball hawk. Now that the NFL doesn’t test for weed that won’t be a problem for him. The biggest question on him is how dedicated is he to being the best football player he can be? He’s also a rapper, so which does he want to be? He really can’t be the best at both.

The guy I’m excited about is Jabril Cox, also from LSU. He’s 6’3” 230 lbs and probably the best coverage LB in the draft. The way he plays I’m wondering if he could make the transition to Strong Safety, the same way Darren Woodson did. I believe Cox had 8 ints during his college career, so he’s also a bit of a ball hawk. If he stays at LB it’s going to be fun to see him and Parsons on the field together.

When you consider how bad the Cowboys defense was last season I’m glad that they are loading up on defense in the draft. They have addressed every level of defense so far. The only position they haven’t addressed yet is safety, but they still have 4 more picks today. Ar’Darius Washington from TCU is still available.

As for targeting troubled players, again I’m perfectly ok with it as long as they can play. I’m sick of them trying to find the “right kind of guys” or “RKG’s”. That’s all we heard from during Jason Garrett’s time here. At this point I don’t care if they’re bad guys or not, can they play is all I want to know. When Jimmy was here he wasn’t concerned if his guys were choir boys. Can they play? That’s all that matters.

I think the Cowboys showed too much of their hand before the draft started. Both Horn and Surtain taken just in front of us. That is why they moved back and ended up choosing Parsons. Of course I'm still pissed they didn't take Slater. Same thing happened in the beginning of round two. That's why I suggested we combine our 4th round pick with the extra 3ird we got from the Egals to move up a bit to get another one of the players I wanted and the Cowboys wanted. I feel we missed out getting better quality in round two. For some reason the Cowboys under Jerry Jones has done terrible in round two.

Him & Kris Richard run the same Cover 3/1. Prioritize size & arm length over quickness. Sherman is the prototype. He might be available soon. Could be a Cowboy. :wink:

That’s just what the “insiders” were talking about yesterday as far as the type of CB’s he likes. I guess we’ll find out in April.

Well...They end up taking tall CB's with long arms (Dan Quinn influence), just as I said they likely would. That is the exact prototype for that defense.

That’s why the rumor was they liked Horn over Surtain. Also they pretty much went with length at every pick too not just CB. Pretty much every guy they drafted has exceptionally long arms.

Kwity Paye (DT-Michigan) is a pass rusher. He’s 6’4” 275 lbs. but he’s not a big run stuffer. The Cowboys already have at least two young guys like that in the roster. What they don’t have is a starting CB opposite Trey Diggs.

How would you feel about taking a LB in the first round? Just curious on your thoughts.

LB is really not our biggest need at the moment only because Jaylon, LVE, and as of right now Sean Lee will all be back. Plus they signed Neal who is moving to LB and is expected to start (ahead of Lee) in the weak side. I do expect they will draft a LB or two at some point in the draft just not in the 1st round. At pick 10 there will be other players that fit more pressing needs.

Gallimore seems to really be developing into a good DT and I don’t think anyone thought Osa Odighizuwa would turn into the player he has become. He never showed this kind of talent at UCLA. Having Gregory back too also really helps. You were one of the ones wanting to cut Gregory after his last suspension right? It’s amazing how the DL was so bad last year and in 1 off season it’s now probably the best unit on the team.

Personally I think weed is less harmful than alcohol. And if a player feels that is more beneficial to them than legalized heroine (opiates) I have no problem with them smoking weed. I’m glad the NFL stopped testing for it.

We need a new center. Additional Offensive Line would be fine as well but our current Center isn’t cutting it. The drop off from Frederick to Biadasz has been significant and unacceptable.
