Dallas Cowboys 2020 Offseason Thread -- 25th Anniversary of Mediocrity

Featured Replies

If I understand things correctly, Dallas was looking at Riggs in the first, Gallimore in the 2nd, anae in the 3rd or 4th.  And got them all a round later, plus lamb?

That’s what I’ve heard from
The Dallas guys on the radio.

Does make me wonder a little about their board and how far off it was from other teams, if all their grades are still there a round later. Without lamb dropping, do they  pick Riggs and then gallimore and are pleased with themselves?

How about best draft since 2016? Let’s start there. Got 3 starters still (Collins was a starter but is no in Oakland, so 4 really) and our Nickle Corner in that draft. Tough to top it.

If you're referring to La'el, we didn't draft him. We signed him as a free agent.

...so he can't really be counted in a "best draft" comparison.

Anae will probably be a 3-4 OLB in a year or so.

It's a conspiracy. The league needs its most valuable franchise to get out of its 25 year slump. With Ginger gone, we may be on to something now.

a center that early was widely questioned. He was projected to be a second- to third-round selection.

questioned at the time.  clearly he was a good pick, though.  do you not agree?

indeed.  i mentioned hind sight playing in.   Absolutely worth the pick after seeing it played out.  I was just describing where questions might have come from at the time.  It was never about his ability, as in, "Ah man, they drafted a shitty center."  It was always a question of if they could have gotten more for that first pick than they did with their actual 2nd. That's all.

2nd guessing and armchair drafting is a lot easier on the fans than the actual GMs and team administrators.

Damnit.  Aggy punter just went off the board.

High mileage model...every time.

Well every one of their pics has been there much later than the consensus(except Robinson where it was mixed).

So maybe some teams just had different boards.

I’ve heard that since, outside of the combine, coaches and scouts didn’t get mingle at pro days and individual workouts, a lot of the group think about players didn’t happen. So Dallas May have been lower or higher on guys than other teams and vise versa.

But honestly you can look at all the top 100 boards and mock drafts and see Dallas had a great draft based on the consensus of those(who most talk to teams to help build their boards) so we should be pretty ecstatic anyways.

Cmon man, I specifically said someone that’s in Oakland now and that’s Maleik Collins.

He did go to Oakland right?

Ginger's exit is a good start, but to complete the process, the following need to occur:

So do Cowboys go for a safety/LB type player that can also help on special teams with their 7th Rd pick?!

Cowboys picked almost immediately...... know who they won't.

DiNucci from JMU via Pittsburgh.  Wasted pick IMO.

he’s prett good.  if dak ends up playing on the tag this season next spring will be very interesting. 

First call to an undrafted FA should be the punter from South Carolina.

Your new Mike White.

Some stuff on DiNucci.

He's a transfer from Pitt.  He's skinny and has a mediocre arm..... what could go wrong?  I guess a PS guy and reportedly was thought to be going to Chicago to join DeFiippo but guess Dallas wanted to add him without bidding for him.  Weird pick.  He has very little upside IMO, but whatever.... Romo part deux!!!!   Not really.

And there's this...

Lol @ that QB. Cooper better watch out.

At least we don’t have to go though a season of “if Dak am doesn’t sign we got his guy backing him up to take over” crap.

Some NFL Network analyst says the Eagles are the team that improved the most through the draft -- anybody believe that?

I like their 3rd day and they got really fast with the WR's they chose and Goodwin.  Player to player I prefer our draft especially if you burn a top 60 pick on a backup and can't play.

 

ain't it kind of aggy as fuck to announce a champion in April?

With regard to football, of course.  Fuck the iggles.

Dolphins, Ravens, Vikings and 49ers seemed to draft well this draft.

Brown's, Colts and Panthers may have quietly improved a lot too??

One dude's opinion...... If you consider the trades the Cards made, it looks really good with Hopkins and Drake.

Does anyone think we sign an undrafted punter or a free agency punter?
 

surely we won’t just give Chris Jones the job after being worst in the league last year?

No way the Ravens didn’t ah da. Top draft too.

And no, the eagles didn’t improve more than Dallas for damned sure.

By who and what? They had a good draft. You should be happy!

howie roseman. 

For a bunch of late round picks? Picks 164, 190 etc. Give him credit for turning one late round pick into 5 late picks, adding Goodwin, he still used a second on Hurts. 

 

No he’s pretending that Hurts is better than Dak.

Oh no that reads wher the Eagles stupidly allowed us to get a replacement for Fred
