I wasn't stating my desires more my prediction.Agreed, just not in the first.LB feels possible too. Especially with Zimmer.

Saw a chart this week about bust factor by position. Apologies for being too lazy to go find again. Long story short - The Position with the lowest bust factor = Center.
That is my pick. Highest rated Center please and thanks. If we can trade down and still do this = bonus points.

Hearing rumblings that we may be willing to spend some of this years draft capital for trades or trade ups (maybe in later rounds) with the fact the Cowboys are expecting additional future compensatory picks.
This team has way bigger needs than RBTrying to work a deal with Zeke tonight. Changes how they approach RB tomorrow.

I’m fine with a trade down. Lots of great players. Get an another 3rd.Don’t get cute. Unless a team like KC is willing to overpay to get up, just stay and pick.
Sorry but that is who we're stuck with. What's his negatives?I’m fine with a trade down. Lots of great players. Get an another 3rd.Don’t get cute. Unless a team like KC is willing to overpay to get up, just stay and pick.
Do not want Guyton.
Still think JPJ was the right pickSorry but that is who we're stuck with. What's his negatives?I’m fine with a trade down. Lots of great players. Get an another 3rd.Don’t get cute. Unless a team like KC is willing to overpay to get up, just stay and pick.

Not many games played. Poor technique with hands too wide. Will probably be a penalty machine.Sorry but that is who we're stuck with. What's his negatives?I’m fine with a trade down.

Did both. Good callI will be shocked if they don't take the best available OL or trade back.
The top 2 centers would like a word. I think they were targeting Mimms and taking care of the edges first. Then when he was gone they did the smart thing and moved back a few spots with the centers as insurance. Although to move back you need a trading partner so it was fortunate opportunity too. They gained 17% in draft position points.Did both. Good callI will be shocked if they don't take the best available OL or trade back.
Well, I couldn't be more pleased. In the fbg podcast chat I said Dallas would take Guyton after Fuaga went at 14. I just hoped they'd trade down and get their 4th rounder back. They got an early 3rd. Nice. That pick is huge in this draft. It's like a mid 2nd in most drafts. This class is that deep. Such a win. Thanks Detroit. Enjoy that cornerback.
Guyton isn't as raw as they're reporting. He's had over 1000 snaps at RT and gave up 2 sacks two seasons ago when he was raw. He's a premium athlete. All he did was improve. 320+ pounds and lean for an OL. Light on his feet. Run blocking film is beautiful. Basketball star and TE in his background. His QB was a lefty so he had the blind side. He's athletic enough to play LT. He's been coached up by one of the best for two years. OU's staff was literally amazed at his development. I prefer him to Morgan who went at 25. He has a higher ceiling. Maybe not Mims ceiling but close enough and higher floor. After Alt, Latham and Fashanu, I had them all in a close tier. We got a real good one and he came with another draft pick. Such a win. I love McClay.
He also comes with a high character assessment and he's a life-long Cowboys fan.
Amazing they got this massive human and picked up an early 3rd as a bonus. Well done, Dallas!Well, I couldn't be more pleased.

Run blocking film is beautiful
Better pass pro than run blocking

Very athletic build, long arms and minimal bad weight … stays light and balanced in pass protection,with the feet of a running back for easy lateral range and mirroring … tends to pop out of his stance and comfortably sinks his weight mid-slide … very alert and keeps his eyes connected to his feet … punches with patience and stabs are both direct and quick … does a nice job staying centered to blocks to avoid getting throw by shifty moves … fluid hips and body bend help strengthen his anchor for natural recoveries … plays with phenomenal foot speed and range in the open field to cover up second- and third-level defenders as a lead puller … raw strength in his hands shows when he latches in the run game … has come a long way in a short time and has considerable upside with continued reps on the offensive line.

Yes. Both things can be true. From Dane Brugler:

In watching some of his highlight reels, he looks more proficient pass blocking to me. Jmo. He is a finesse blocker, not a mauler.
When you watch, look at 2 things:
Hands. Too wide. He gets flagged.
Feet. Very nimble and smooth. Elite.
On the whole, I’m pleased. If we had just taken him at 24. I would be screaming today.
Based on the trade, and getting the player and an early 3rd round bonus pick - it makes his risk much more palatable. We also have hit 2 in a row on picks like this. (Frederick/Tyler Smith).
OT7 - Tyler Guyton, has a total of 14 starts in college...PASS!
I really like the top center’s this year. This position has the lowest draft bust rate as well.
Hoping Cowboys go best Center available.
Also agree on Guyton.
More on pass pro vs. Run blocking…
Patrik Walker: They did exactly what I hoped and predicted (via mock draft) them to do: trade back with the Detroit Lions to gain the 73rd-overall pick while still attacking the offensive line in the first round. Enter Tyler Guyton, a former tight end who brings ton of athleticism to the offensive tackle position and a frame that is not easily moved around. And while he'll need to be more consistent in run blocking, the strength and footwork are definitely there, and his pass protection is some of the best you'll see in this draft class.

Many mocks have Frazier still available at our pick in the second. I’m all for it.They landed a good prospect and they added a third. Can’t complain.
We’ve had good success developing unpolished players, so I trust the staff here.
As for tonight- just color between the lines. We should be able to get a RB and LB that makes an impact. I’m fine with Brooks, Lloyd, or Benson. If a WR like AD Mitchell gets to us, then you pivot and take the value. I also like the center, Frazier, from WV. See if he makes it to us.
Don’t need to get fancy, just let the scouts do their job. We, if nothing else, draft and develop players well above average.
I really liked what I saw from Bass last season.Again though, I hear we like Bass to play C.
I think Mazi said the same thing about this time last year lolx.com

His tape doesn’t really show that, I’m hopeful he can get there.
Frazier is a nasty player. We are kind of soft and need grit, toughness, and more of a bad *** mindset. We’ve been out-physicaled in all our playoff losses. If we can’t change that, neither will our outcomes. I want to revamp our culture and we need nasty players to do this.Many mocks have Frazier still available at our pick in the second.
