lol pay attention to Barber during that play. He trips over himself, blocks no one, and then gets fucked up at the very end.

A pro-bowler isn't absolutely necessary at any position. Teams have won without pro-bowl QBs, RBs, WRs, TEs, etc. on down the line.

If you think he's going to be a pro-bowl type OL and you're faced with picking between a pro-bowler at a position of need or a player at a different position that may or may not pan out, I'm taking the pro-bowler.

I agree with all of that but he was acting like there does not need to a discussion regarding Decastro and his value to this team.

I have no problem with taking Decastro but I don't think he is this lock multiple probowler people paint him to be and he certainly is not a Larry Allen type player.

I don't think he is head and shoulders better than Cox and DE is just as big of a need so IMO the pick is a no brainer if both are available.

I do like Decastro over all of the other names but I also think there is great value with guards later in the draft and trading down needs to be on the table.

Lemme guess, those who don't want us to take Decastro want Barron or Cox? We've not been able to hit on a Safety since Woody and you think we'll get this one right? You think Cox won't be another Spencer? The no brainer, money in the bank pick is Decastro... Now do I believe he will be there when we pick? Hell no.

How would Cox be another Spencer He plays a completely different position.

And yes, I'd tak Fletcher over DeCastro. He's the only one likely to be available when we pick that I'd take over DeCastro.

Hmmmm...

Interior line play has been a weakness for this team for years.

We can't get any push on short yardage run plays and Romo is often pressured up the middle and has to do an Irish jig just to get the ball off.

DeCastro helps solve that.

He's a no brainer at 14.

Again, overvalueing a pick because it fits a need.

lol at the Larry Allen comparison. DeCastro isn't going to be man-handling people at the next level. He gets by on athleticism, hustle and positioning.

Yeah, I don't see how that is hard to understand.

I mean, we won 3 SBs without a pro-bowl player at many positions, but if you have a choice, you take the pro-bowler or potential pro-bowler in this case.

Everyone slated in the top 15 has a good shot to be a Pro Bowler in time. Guys like Poe who may fall just outside of it, have the potential to be a Pro Bowler.

Pro Bowlers come after the 1st round too.

Cox plays DE, so I don't know what you're talking about.

I'd probably take Kirkpatrick over DeCastro too.

I didn't compare him to Larry Allen. I was exemplifying how having a pro bowl guard is a massive addition to the team and using Allen as that example.

If you had read the thread, though, you would already know that.

Bob might actually be on to something.

Then why did you inject Larry Allen into the discussion?

And I am sure Bob read through a thread that is barley 3 pages. lol

I've explained it twice. See if you can find it.

I will give you plenty of time.

Larry Allen is a hall of famer, doofus. He wasn't some run of the mill Pro Bowler that DeCastro might end up turning into.

You would have been better served mentioning a guy like Carl Nicks, or Jahri Evans.

btw, Emmitt was doing just fine before they drafted Larry Allen. So your argument...probably not.

I'll make you a deal. If we do take Fitzpatrick over DeCastro, I will call you Jerrah for a week.

That's fine.

I'll go on a limb there, seeing as how making a bet on the Cowboys passing on the DeCastro period is too easy a one. For me.

I can't believe people are going ga-ga over an OG who won't be near the biggest, strongest or most talented OG in the NFL.
