There was a point in the video that Morgan looks at Tepper as if he was seeking approval--but that could have been polite inclusion. If I am Tepper I am sitting right in that seat doing the same thing--but I would be more vocal...When Morgan said, "I was hoping we would not get an offer we'd have to accept..." (paraphrasing)--that is his gut talking. Listen to your gut--don't let circumstances prevent the gut from being heard. Trust the gut. Reason? He knew the draft would play out if they got Tmac. He knew they would get an edge in round 2. After that, they could get a RB and S on day 3.

It can't be a Burns situation. Tmac is an unknown in the NFL. Burns had what, 4 years of NFL film at the time of the trade offer? Sure you can judge taking the trade or not with 20/20 hindsight. Which I'm sure you will if Tmac isn't all pro this year. I really doubt they turned down 3 first rounders based on the context of this video though. Feels like you are just priming yourself to poo on the team later in the year like you always do.

My rough place for Scourton (based on a compilation of several prospect rankings) was late first, so I did not research him much. I nearly forgot about him. His college production his final year was not elite--but that seems to be the system. I noticed that (at Tex AM) he had outside contain a lot, and was not rushing the QB--that means the CBs were probably in man coverage. So I think he could be good in this system. Princely? I had him going in the middle of the second round; he was my hope once we took TMac. Most of the mocks I saw had him going in the 40-48 range. When we traded up, I had forgotten about Scourton (or did not know that much about him) and I thought we would draft Princely. I was actually a bit disappointed because I think Princely will be a very good Edge. I would not be surprised to see both statistically challenge the first round Edge players.

Does look like he hit the weight room as well. Can’t do anything about his height but adding some muscle never hurt.

Tillis telling Tepper that meandering socks story was priceless— he’s got that Will Forte energy

She was

Also his wife wasn't in the room from what I could tell

agreed. As mentioned elsewhere, not unusual for (any team's) owner to be in the draft room. But comparing the hands-on draft style of Jerry Jones vs (what appeared to be) a more observant/less-involved Tepper this year... it seems very much like Dan was running the show and making the player decisions with his football mgmt team

Good find Jackie. Thanks for sharing.

Agreed. MVP incoming. Looking rugged my boi.

doesn't sound like he's making the decisions, though. sounds like he's letting them make the decisions and they are just asking if he's on board with it all. i think he trusts them to get the job done. probably isn't easy for him to let go, but he might just be learning.

Rod is getting tired of losing with good to mid players and finally wants some elite guys.

I wonder if the value in theory of those picks next year go up in value simply because of the qb influx that will be in the draft? I just hope this isnt another burns situation.

You mean not showing excitement about a 6th rd pick? Lol

They're not really all that low as you think. Sure, some teams have had those HOF RBs who played their whole career there so they have 10k+ team leaders, but there are a bunch of franchises lower than us and some long time ones not much further ahead. Deangelo would be a leader for the Falcons, Saints, Bucs (crazy, our whole division), Eagles, Dolphins, Patriots, and Texans

I think the old narrative was greatly overstated but they can portray this however they want. It took a month to produce this.

Oh, you're not wrong, but both can be true: Chuba Hubbard did in fact improve, but he was always better than many---if not most---Huddlers gave him credit for. Most players worth their weight in gold are going to improve, but my thing is that sometimes fans need to chill and be patient.

Ouch, he went right at KK. Yeeesh

Glad he isn't feeling any pain now and can live a healthy life.

Yea I think he either gets fired, or the defense is good enough that he gets a head coaching gig. Time's up. It's kinda run its course.

its good to be the king

My goodness…Tepper is looking…a little … rotund

It's almost like Bryce is trying in invoke the infamous growing the beard trope from Star Trek The Next Generation. if BY Season 3 ends up like TNG Season 3, we're in for an absolute treat.

You look at the NFL all-time rushing leaders, there's some players from this millennium but a lot were players from before we even had a franchise. Given how it's swung back towards being less of a passing league, not a surprise if Chuba can get up to third all-time in rushing yards at some point. Obviously, the biggest factor is if he can stay healthy enough.
