we stole him.??

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Every freaking year they have to draft a player with off the field issues

?

 

[Tyrion]

I am excited.  I have liked every pick so far although I would have really liked that Tight End from Miami.

 

[Tyrion]

I would love to see Dallas get Hunter Dimick somewhere in the 6th round. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Xfh7St2Lv0

Well, it's over for Pookie Gregory.

Dallas Cowboys defensive end Randy Gregory has failed another NFL drug test -- -- and his friends are deeply concerned for his well-being, TMZ reports

TMZ Sports spoke with multiple people with direct knowledge of the situation who confirmed Randy was tested on Feb. 21 and was informed on March 2 that his specimen came up positive for weed.

Mid 7th and no linebacker taken. Has to be a good sign for Jalen Smiths health, right?

Saw a blurb somewhere he was able to lift his toes some, nerve still healing.

Yeah Dude, last years draft is going to rank just below the Steelers draft in the 70's.

Boom!

How bout Xavior Woods instead. Oh yeah. 

 

[Cowboysfan8]

This is the happiest I've been after a draft in forever. Maybe ever.

Probably means they'll all suck

 

[Routilla]

Solid draft. Woods was a steal in the 6th.

2015 was pretty good with arguably 3 first rounders for the price of a first and second. Byron, Gregory and Collins. Too bad Gregory can't stay off the pipe.  Hopefully Jaylon turns out this year. Been pretty sweet drafting since 2013 and the Federick pick gradeed a D- at the time.  lol

 

[travdogg]

Solid draft. Woods was a steal in the 6th. 

Thought he was the biggest steal in the draft. he should have gone in round 2 in my opinion. 

Thought Dallas had the best draft of any team that made the playoffs last year. Loved Awuzie, Switzer and Woods in particular.  

 

[Tyrion]

I know it is the off season and all of the reports are usually rosy but I really like what I have been reading about Rico Gathers lately. I hope he can make the transition this year. Add this to our recent additions and our offense would be unstoppable.

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

Yeah I think we extended Witten and  didn't draft one because of his development. Or at least like you I hope so . 

 

[Tyrion]

Looks like Jerry hopes so too.

Immediately after the draft, Jerry Jones explained why the position wasn’t really on their radar. Last season they took a chance on Rico Gathers, a converted basketball player out of Baylor. Gathers spent last season on the practice squad, but the Cowboys saw him as a project and they aren’t disappointed with his development.

“Rico is definitely everything the coaches thought he was,” Jones said after the draft.

He also said that the Cowboys will be witnessing the next phase of that project this coming season.

“He will be a contributor this year,” Jones said emphatically.

 

[Dezbelief]

Add in we let Escobar walk. I don't think Witten plays out his contract.

Nice interview with Will McClay.  My ears perked up at 17:15 when he started talking about Rico Gathers and how when he was practicing against the veterans that they could not stop him.

 I listened to that podcast and thought the same thing. I mentioned it in the rookie tight and thread.
