Stephen jones coming up on the fan

[Theebs]

Steve is going to be on with elf and slater in a few minutes.

I think u can listen online..

Said the draft is light in the top 10 picks, then there is a lot of talent.

We want to play young players and stop adding hold the fort guys, we have to play these young guys.

We won't stick our head in the sand on questionable players (honey badger) in later rounds.....but it's hard to bet on these type of guys, we like to take cleaner players.

If Austin is the best player on the board we will take a long hard look at him. If he is bpa. Never know when u will need a player at that position. We had a long discussion with Jason on the importance of playing the players we pick.

If the first tier of offensive lineman are gone we could move back to the next tier of lineman.....this was his answer to the lineman projected in the second round.

 

[ThoughtExperiment]

I liked the part about Austin... That if we take a player like him we'll have a long, hard talk with Jason about making sure he gets snaps like a starter would.

 

[GloryDaysRBack]

When he says move back to the 2nd tier of OL did he mean via trading down and taking one or at 18...or round 2..

My belief that we're going OL in the first is strengthened. Good.

But don't reach for one.

 

[Midswat]

Also.... at having to get on Jason to play the guys that are drafted.

 

[Theebs]

He said they already had meetings with Jason and the staff I assume that the players drafted have to get on the field and play.

I wonder if they are as frustrated as the fans are that guys like lee, carter, Murray and Johnson last year don't play much.

Breer thinks Austin is viewed higher by actual teams than analysts and I think he had him today in the top 10. Broaddus thinks after listening to Jerry yesterday we are taking a dt who can play then one technique.

So someone like Jesse Williams or hte guy from Georgia?

Not sure tbh. He was asked about the 2nd round for offensive lineman and he responded that if the first tier of lineman were gone they could look to move back and get a lineman from the 2nd tier.

Don't put to much stock in it, he was avoiding specifics.

 

[dbair1967]

Good to hear.

Mentioned Williams again. He just posted the story on the website on the mothership

Mike fisher coming up in a minute with some inside stuff...

So he says

What? We need a three-technique DT. Dumbasses.

 

[Theebs]

Fish says

Jerry announces the cowboys will trade down seems like a bluff, only 16-18 first round grades on players. Says no use on using the 18 th pick on the 16th rated player.....(fish is a moron). Dont have to take a lineman no matter what in the first round.

Need a willing partner to trade up. Jerry doesn't know what will happen yet, no idea on claibourne at this time last year.

Says they will wait till pick 17 before deciding on trading down....team desperately hopes someone wants a qb, wr high....

Says 2nd round lineman hit at 82% and 2nd round qb's never do, like 17%

cowboys will trade down if all that is left is eifert, claims two 2nd rounders to move down ?

Justin Pugh is only mentioned with the cowboys because he was on the fan yesterday, he does not have a first round grade and cowboys will not take him at 18 in any way.

 

[Iamtdg]

What? We need a three-technique DT. Dumbasses.

That's actually what Jerry said. He didn't say we needed a 1 technique.

Wait, wtf am I doing defending Jerry?

What the hell is wrong with this world?!

 

[Midswat]

Need a willing partner to trade up. Jerry doesn't know what will happen yet, no idea on claibourne at this time last year.

Wasn't it said that we had been in talks with St Louis for weeks, and that the move up for Claiborn if still available was discussed relatively long before the draft?

I don't remember.

Fisher isn't the greatest source of info so take it with a grain of salt.

 

[Theebs]

Bob sturm just said there is a ton of buzz at valley ranch on tavon Austin who they love and Kenny vaccaro.

I guess his people told him they love both players, said he was told they would love to have Austin on the field with Dez and miles.

If this happens I feel bad for brad, babe and kristie. They are going to have to differentiate between miles Austin and tavon Austin.

 

[cmd34(work)]

Austin definitely adds something to whatever offense he goes to. I just hope Austin can get open while Mackenzy Bernadeau barely stands in the defender's way on his path to Romo.

 

[Cowboysrule122]

I won't mind drafting a skill position at 18 if he's the BPA. I'd prefer it were a OT or DT though.
