2018 Cowboys Draft Watch

[dbair1967]

They should probably wait to see who all declares before they go rating the draft class as a whole.

They're idiots, they'll probably try to be smarter than everyone again and trade down for more picks they can throw away.

They can try all they want but everyone knows we have the cleverest FO around. We sign guys off CFL practice squads. Come at me Cleveland!

21. Dallas Cowboys
Record: 5-3 (.424)
Top needs: TE, DT, RB
The skinny: Jason Witten will turn 36 shortly after the draft and it's time to find the player who'll replace him. Adding a talented defensive tackle who can get upfield could be in play. Both Alfred Morris and Darren McFadden will be free agents, so adding a backup RB should be a possibility.

We might have to start rethinking that draft position.

especially since 99% of his routes are within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage

I was referring to the #21 overall part.

Seems like we destined to be top-10 at this point rather than bottom 10 or so.

I will be at the Coliseum Saturday night to watch Darnold and Rosen battle in person.

and then the next day I will witness Kellen Clemens (Phillip Rivers - concussion) vs Nathan Peterman (Tyrod Taylor benched) up close.

Woo hoo!!

Any chance Rivers will miss the Turkey Day game? Short week.

i like this guy. last year, he was ALL about carl lawson. wanted dallas to take him. and now lawson has 5.5 sacks for cincy. i do believe lawson had some injury concerns, but jonah was all about him from the start.


another guy i like for draft stuff is john owning.

I liked Lawson also. I think the knock on him was that he was a tweener - too short and stocky at 6'2" to play DE and that he didn't have the arm length to keep OTs off him. He's playing as an OLB for the Bengals I think.

Edit - no he isn't. They play a 4-3 and he's listed as a DE.

you might be thinking of one of the alabama guys that came out?

Possibly. I do know that Lawson is only 6'2" though (and that is being generous).

He ignores the TE position but I cant argue the rest.

He actually mentioned pass catching TE in the "receiver" area.

I like the potential of Noah Brown, but if somehow Calvin Ridley found himself on the board when our pick rolls around I think I might have to rush that card up there with his name on it.

I think Dez is a candidate to get whacked after the season or at least be forced into a major paycut.

2018 NFL draft big board: Updated top 25 prospects | The Draft Wire

7. Roquan Smith | LB | Georgia
This year’s Butkus Award winner and MVP of the SEC title game, Smith is reminiscent of Reuben Foster, who was a top-10 prospect in last year’s class. His combination of range, athleticism, instincts and physicality will make him a dominant player in the NFL.

Derwin James declared for the draft today and said he was skipping FSU's bowl game.
