2024 NFL Draft Thread

[dbair1967]

Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb said in post-draft presser that trading for a couple veterans was definitely not out of the question. One would assume they are probably thinking of RB and DT. Cowboys will gain about 10 million or so in cap space on June 1st when Gallup's money for being cut is finally available.

Also as I noted yesterday, Nick Eatman reported the Cowboys were expected to sign a couple of former pro bowl veterans in next 7-10 days. One is expected to be Zeke.

Still don't understand the RB thing, but basically they screwed that up be turning down that end of the round trade last night where they could have moved from 87-95 and picked up a 4th. Huge run on RB's happened before we ever went on the clock with the 174th pick. Then there was another late run that wiped the board out.

That said, for the most part I liked the guys we actually did pick today. The CB and OT (probably moving inside to G) in particular had fairly high ratings for where we got them (Carson was rated as a 3rd/4th guy and def has upside, Thomas was rated as a 4th/5th rounder by most. Huge LT with long arms and huge hands, may end up at G but his school has producer several quality NFL OL in recent years). The WR has some real physical talent, good p[roduction and reputation as exceptionally hard worker. He was rated as a 6th. The NT we drafted from Auburn was rated a 7th/PFA type guy, ut he huge and fairly strong, doesnt have any pass rush potential but he almost cant be moved off the LOS.

Doesn't look much different than most of their draft classes in recent memory. Some potentially good players, but no one that's going to significantly elevate the team.
