We didn't do Cam any favors, and if this is it we're gonna have some problems

Yup

Big time talent potential at WR

A first round talent DE in the 2nd

A bulldozer G to help beef up the interior of the line

That right there makes our draft a success IMO

Our DLine is going to freaking disgusting. CJ. Hardy. Star. KK. Ealy. Cole. And the rotational DE's. Yes yes yes yes!!

don't know how it will all pan out but I do know that the gettlemen sheep were not expecting this type draft and in fact many were actually against some of these type moves. it is funny to watch.

[top dawg]

You know why you're not happy with our draft right now?

Right here.

I used to do the same thing. I used to invest a lot of thought and evaluation and picking my favorite players, thinking that a successful draft was about going down a bullet point list of needs and I ended up learning the reality of it all, which is you shouldn't get overly attached to anybody, and leaving one hole at a position isn't the end of the world. I barely followed the draft until maybe the week before it went down. I mean yeah, I knew who many of the main people were, but still, I refuse to invest so much emotion in it anymore. I liked Pierre Desir a lot for example, and when I saw him gone on the tracker right before we picked in the fourth, I was peeved, but honestly, Pierre could end up looking like absolute crap in the pros, and Tra Thomas could end up being an AP all pro safety, and then the Browns would have done us a huge favor taking him off the board.

 

 

Yeah, point taken.  I was already coming to that conclusion.

 

I wouldn't say I am "unhappy" with the draft per se, I just see a lot of missed opportunities. But at the end of the day, G-man gets paid for making the decisions.

 

 I think that it was day 3 that is the most disappointing for me.  I have talked to a hard core Carolina fan, and he was not enamored with the Boston pick.  He said that Boston came I believe as a four star rated guy that never really panned out. He said that he has some athleticism to his game, but gives up a few too many big plays which is exactly what a safety is not supposed to do.  He said that he could have justified picking up Hurst before Boston at that pick.  Like me, he feels that if we had picked up Hurst in the sixth, or at least not traded up and allowed the next best available corner on the board to fall to us, then we could have picked up Hurst in the 7th, and just used the other picks on depth at a positions of need and no one could have argued with it.  He said that he believes Hurst will be a starter at some point, but even if he doesn't that Hurst will provide good depth on the O-line for years to come at the very least.

 

Getting back to your point, I am not going to be so invested in pouring over scouting reports and mocks next year.  I will lbe more cursory and look at things from afar.

honestly we can agree to disagree on all other points, but you can't honestly tell me you're comfortable with our current Offensive tackle situtation. And if you are then you're being blinded by fan ship.  Cam Newton is a ferari, you don't buy a ferarri then go out and get safe auto insurance or the general.

If the team isn't freaking out about it then why should we? Nobody said anything about being comfortable about, we just aren't running around panicking and pretending we know more than the professionals about talent evaluation.

So grabbing WR in the 1st + a OG in the 3rd doesn't help Cam out?

OP is delusional, a Cowboys fan , or both.

Next year we'll draft OT 1st Round

 

 

Furthermore, I hate the Cowboys.

Right, because eachh team makes the best decisions all the time, each team is just as likely to win the Superbowl based on those decisions lol no team has ever made a questionable decision that came back to bite them in the ass later down the road.....that's just not possible is it.  So I shouldn't even bother discussing it, I should just shut up and accept every decision that's made because there's no possible way for me to voice any type of intellectual opinion.  Right.

You can't change it and I'm sure the team doesn't give a rats azz what you think about it. And judging from most of the responses to your attempt to convince everyone here you are right and the GM is wrong that pretty much no single person here gives a crap either. I was just trying to spare you from getting an ulser over it but by all means go ahead and worry yourself sick about it.

anyone that says that they are is a liar, an idiot, and/or permanently attached to Gettleman's sack.

To me the BPA at 28 was Teddy Bridgewater.  

 

And we definitely needed a WR, there's no maybe about it.  You're kinda contradicting yourself by saying we didn't really need one....and then going on to say he was the BEST player for the Panthers...

 

And that whole nonsense about their not being one worth taking is just that, nonsense to me.  When you get into the later rounds the players you pick are picked because of their potential, you pick them with the hope that they'll work out.  Maybe they have character issues that caused them to fall, maybe they weren't tall enough or fast enough at the combine, that is already understood.  That doesn't mean you just go out and say they're not worth drafting, so I'm going to keep drafting players for positions we already have filled.  Think about this, when you draft late and draft for need you're hedging your bets.  You're not putting all your eggs in one basket, you're simply spreading out your risks. Which makes complete sense to me, Gettleman doesn't determine who is " worth drafting" because simply the drarft process is a lot like the market place.  DG might pass over someone, becaus he thinks he's not worht drafting, but then when someone else thinks other wise and drafts him and that player turns into a stud....then what?    

 

You guys are being kinda ridiculous trying to justify a roster with Chandler and Bell at our tackles.....and no one else?  No back ups?  So when we sort through all the free agents and undraftables, they will then become magically worth it?  Just not worth drafting?   Maybe I'm not seeing something, but I think everything I have said has some reasoning to it, and some good questions.

[Cpt slay a ho]

furthermore anyone talking about KB or Ealy being the Bpa is delusional because they haven't played a snap, and VICE VERSA we won't know until a couple years from now..........

 

people need to quit acting like Gm's don't make mistakes yearly no matter how decorated there resume is..............

 

 

those are 100% trues

 

as an opinion, we have 2 probowl de's with good depth behind them why draft a de??? that would be equivalent IMO to drafting a rb or dt in that same round it's not really bpa when you have the best possible guys starting at that position............that move IMO was way too premature

Where did I say I was worrying myself sick about it or anything like that?

 

This is an internet forum, I've been using them for over 11 years now, do you honestly think I am using this forum to try and convince everyone that what I'm saying is correct?  Do you honestly think I believe that the Front office comes on here and checks to see what I or anyone else is saying and takes that into consideration to make moves?  Do you really think I go to sleep at night upset that people I've never met don't like what I have to say?  Get a clue. 

 

I know the purpose of this website and the purpose of a web forum, and it's for open ended discussions.  I don't expect to get any hard concrete answers, I simply post my view points and respond to people who respond to me. It's not a big deal at all, but simply a way to communicate with other fans of the same team, etc.  I honestly don't even get what you're trying to tell me, you didn't really add anything to the topic.
