Devin street?

Devin street?

I actually kindof like the pick. There is good value at WR in this draft, and the Cowboys might have picked a guy up that can play on the outside. He won't start, of course, but may become a valuable contributor in the event of an injury.

I like Street a lot.

Broaddus was saying after we made that stupid LB pick earlier that Street was rated way ahead of him. I think they are saying they had a 3rd/4th grade on him.

Like this player.

We traded up to take Street?

 

[cmd34(work)]

what did we give up?

 

[Midswat]

I don't know anything about him but he's got good size compared to some of our other backup receivers

 

[Midswat]

What did we give up in the trade?

 

[wyvrn]

David Moore saying that in recent drafts, Cowboys haven't taken more than one player at the same position group more than once, at LB. So when that player doesn't hit, then there isn't anyone else to fill the gap from the draft.

The Ticket analysts are discussing that sometimes you have to bulk up at certain positions, such as DL and OL, in the draft to make your team better.

I've been pimping Street all year. Props to me.

seriously, like the pick it looks like we gave up our top 7th rounder for him? Was that all?

Still f'ing hate the 4th round pick.

 

[dbair1967]

what did we give up?

Our 5th and one of the 7ths

 

[wyvrn]

Minnesota picks up David Yankey in the 5th. He isn't an All-Pro, but he likely starts early and has a very solid career. That was a value pick in this round and shows you can get solid quality guards on day 3 of the draft.

Yep.

They should have drafted Street's QB with that 4th rd pick instead of that bum LB

We're so money at DT and S so it doesn't even matter. UDFA Linebackers is what we need.

In the deepest draft in years, we took a 4th round linebacker who is nowhere as good as the linebacker we drafted in the 6th last year.

That was my thought exactly.

Worse thing is the position coach admits they have no idea where they are going to play him. Drafted an awful talent and don't even have a "plan"

And McClay and Eberflus both were just whooping it over this guy once the pick before ours went in.

 

[Midswat]

So we like the street pick?

 

[cmd34(work)]

I do. He made plays at Pitt the 3 or 4 games I watched.

We don't need starters with our talent. Just backups and special teamers after the second round. We are just that good.

 

[dbair1967]

Street is a good player. Value where we got him.

Wont surprise me at all if he's our #3 guy at some point this year.
