Misc 2017 Draft Notes
Fred Ross, WR, Mississippi State ... He'd be an inspired choice to takeover TWill's spot. Part of Dak's success with the Cowboys has been attributed to similarities between the Mississippi State offense and Linehan's offense. So why not take a receiver who has the same thing going for him... -
Misc 2017 Draft Notes
Interesting players, of course. The bust/underwhelming potential of high picks in general makes me wonder if trading a boatload of picks for a top 7 or so pick makes sense for a non-QB. Maybe a team is better off taking a few mid 1st round to mid 2nd round choices at the same position... -

Jerry's story about the Ravens - my first reaction was, shit, if I were the Ravens I'd be pissed that Jerry was relaying a private conversation about what we wanted to do in the draft. Given how secretive teams want to be at draft time, it would seem like a significant breech of trust. So for... -

If I had only two choices at 34 ... picking Henry or Jaylon Smith ... I think I'd pick Henry. The 3 year contract going to the guy who'll miss the first year, take the second year to get up to speed, and then has a good third year, just in time for free agency when another team makes him a... -

Yeah. I don't think the team is rudderless. My guess is that there are too many rudders in the water. I assume that Stephen won the RB decisions last year (on the grounds of fiscal responsibility and his fixation with "value"). This year Garrett was in the enviable position of having to... -

Many years ago, before Midswat was eating solid food, Tony Dorsett was a rookie and it was Landry's responsibility to phase Dorsett into the offense. Landry was patient and conservative. ... and during that first season it seemed to take forever before Dorsett got much playing time. I don't... -

I wonder what the aggressive attempt for Lynch says about what the Cowboys think about the next two QB prospects, if anything. Maybe it says more about the potential problems of drafting a developmental QB as a backup on a 3 yr contract. I'd rather go with a defensive player myself. At least... -

Check out the post-Zeke press conference on dc.com. Garrett (and Jerry) were saying all of the right things about the importance of a dominating running game. We'll see what happens, but they sounded like believers last night. -

I'm relieved that the Cowboys got a top notch RB to go along with their top notch OL. To have one without the other would be a waste. Elliott didn't come cheap and a lot of folks are concerned that he wasn't a "value pick." Fair enough. Reasonable people can disagree on the importance of... -

Two hopes for today - 1. Cowboys get DL help. Twice, even. 2. Derrick Henry doesn't go to an NFC East team. -

Wild-card factor always in play with Cowboys: Could Dallas go in unforeseen direction with draft's No. 4 pick? By Brandon George, Staff Writer IRVING -- We all know Jerry Jones' penchant for making a splash. This is the man who thought long and hard about selecting quarterback Johnny Manziel... -
Who'd be happy with Jalen Ramsey?
As much as I'd like the Cowboys offense to be transformed by an elite running back like Elliott, Ramsey at 4 isn't a bad outcome at all ... especially if the front office manages to pick a high quality RB on Day 2. -

If they can't stop what you do even when they know what's coming, versatility doesn't matter much. -
Who'd be happy with Jalen Ramsey?
Beyond his physical talents, Ramsey is apparently one of those natural team leaders who inspires his teammates. I heard someone compare him to Ronnie Lott this morning on the radio. Plays with a lot of intensity and expects his teammates to do so too. -

Yes, the coaching is marginal at best ... so that's a problem, but a young QB could do worse than playing behind the Dallas OL. The WR group is decent. Add a higher quality RB to take some of the heat off .... It isn't a terrible situation. -

I feel the same. Maybe the Eagles will work a trade with the Browns and pick up one of the QBs instead (although that could lead to other problems). -
Dallas Draft Top 3- Ideal and Nightmare
I'm not a fan of taking Jack at 4, due to the health questions. I'd be pleased with Ramsey and Henry in the first two rounds. Paul Perkins is an interesting player. If the Cowboys took him in the 4th round, I wouldn't be too despondent if the team failed to draft an RB in the first 3 rounds. -

FWIW 2002 No. 1 pick David Carr explains why brother Derek is a better NFL QB By John Breech | CBSSports.com July 3, 2015 7:55 pm ET There aren't many big brothers out there who like to admit that their younger brother is better at something, especially when that something is a sport both... -

I think I understand what you are saying. I've heard other people make a similar point ... that the strength of an outstanding OL is that it allows the team to get good performance out of lesser RBs ... and because you can get good performance out of a lesser RB, it would be wasteful for a team...
