Who does our scouts like at RB? Which did we bring in for interviews?

Jonathan Brooks, Trey Benson, Bucky Irving, Braelon Allen.

Jonathan Brooks has been heavily mocked to Dallas in the 2nd.


You think he will be there at 24? Most have him as RB1 in the draft.

Possibly. There doesn't seem to be a lot of RB needy teams and positions of more value are still available. Plus he tore his ACL I believe last season which may scare teams away. The Dallas team doctor did the surgery so the Cowboys will know the most about it…kinda like Jaylon Smith's surgery.

I think for the Cowboys it's going to come down which LBs are available. Big drop off in LB after the 2nd round but they can use that 3rd from Detroit and still get a nice RB like Trey Benson or Jaylen Wright.

Steele has a big contract. He is playing RT. Guyton will play LT and you can do things to help him. The middle of the OL should be really good w Smith and Martin.

Playing players because they have terrible contracts is what bad teams do. I could care less what Steele's contract is. If the OL is better with him at guard or as the swing then that where he should play. It's makes no difference in what you're paying anyways.

If we don't like Guyton we can always call him gayton.

Joke for those of you with a 3rd grade sense of humor.

A good number of quality CBs left, with so few defenders taken in the first rd hopefully the 2nd starts with a run on defense and RBs stay on the board.

I'll trade Dak for Cousins from the Falcons right now. Never will win a championship with current QB.

Wut? So you'd trade for a 35 year old QB coming of an Achilles injury, that has less playoff wins than Dak and just signed a 4 year $180M deal? Oh yeah let's just forget you'd have a dead cap hit of $25M the next 2 years and $11M in 2026. Stahp

I like watching these paid professionals fill up post draft coverage with comments like "This was Chicago's night hands down".

You don't say, the team with the #1 and #9 pick did really well! That's completely new information.

Yes. I like winning. Tell me Dak is the answer and if it happens I'll pound sand.

Dak has won 65% of the games in his career, Kirk 52% . Has Dak struggled to get Ws in the playoffs, yep. Everyone knows that, but he wins a helluva lot more than Kirk Cousins.

They are not better w him at G. I truly believe Steele will be fine. He was playing less than a year removed from the ACL.

With much better talent than Cousins. It's cool, Cowboys will do them. Sad.

Tell me who on the Cowboys is better than Justin Jefferson and Hockenson? Cook and Diggs were no bums either,

It's YOY talent. Dak isn't a rookie. Agree to disagree.

Let it go. Some people get so frustrated with Dak in the playoffs that it makes them say dumb irrational things

I'm sorry that this is going to appear like I'm calling out one person... when in reality this goes back years.... but for the love, can we just talk about the draft without somebody *****ing and moaning about the Cowboys current QB.

The 1st round just happened, perhaps we can just talk about draft stuff in the draft thread.

I think they should go

Smith
Bass or Steele
Hoffman or draft pick
Martin
Guyton


Steele is your swing if Bass wins the guard competition.


People really have to stop trying to flip Tyler Smith to tackle. You don't take an all-pro caliber player out of his all-pro position.

Larry Allen was a good offensive tackle. He was a hall of fame guard, possibly the best guard in NFL history.

We've seen Smith play LT. He was really good. We've seen Bass play guard as a rookie, he was good. Maybe it's just me but I don't understand why it's so controversial to want play those two where we've seen them excel before and keep Guyton (a RT in college) at RT. If Steele beats out Guyton, great. That just provides more depth. I just want the best 5 on the field, contracts be damned.

All they had to trade for it was 15 years of below average results

I know we're all disingenued fans, but if there's one position group I trust the cowboys on it would be OL.

Serious question, what is the last real cowboys OL draft bust? I'd bet the cowboys have done OL better than just about anyone the last 10-15 years.

Probably Jacob Rogers in 2004. 2nd rd pick but a big miss.

Guyton feels like a very solid pick.


In other draft news, bills giving chiefs a speedy WR when they have no one seems like not the best strategy.

The cowboys have set themselves up extremely well to really do whatever they want in the second and third rounds. I'd personally like to see them obtain an additional second round pick to go and get a difference maker or two on defense. I think the talent level starts to fall off a little bit towards where the cowboys are at at 24.

If you have me someone like Braden Fiske and Payton Wilson, I would be all over that and say we're winning the draft.

The Bills will have their pick of either AD Mitchell (who screams NFL WR), Lad McConkey or Keon Coleman, who I think are all great.

Pretty sure the dripoff at OT is pretty steep after Guyton. He was the last of the elite OT prospects. I think there is another iffy guy from BYU, but after that is a bunch of backups that might develop one day.

Definteky still a need pick, but at least we took a need pick at one of the most important positions (unlike our DT need pick last year).

Not a fan of the pick. Word is Powers Johnson blew the 30 visit. Guyton doesn't have the physicality or technique to be a pro bowler but has the traits of an AllPro. I think he's a charming guy that won the underwear Olympics. I don't trust our OL coach to be able to fix him. Hopefully Duke Manyweather can.

He seems like a good kid and I'll be rooting for him.

Voch Lombardi is the best OL evaluator on Cowboys YouTube. Guyton is the LAST guy they wanted the Cowboys to pick.

He's trying to be so positive about the pick in this video, it's hilarious

I'm with you. Great kid, but I'm iffy on him. I love having more draft capital this year, but I'd have preferred to not trade down and take the sure thing in Barton.

One of the weakest first rounds in recent memory. Where were the ****s in cocktail dresses? Looks like the prospects brought their kid sisters to the party instead.

I don't like or dislike the Guyton pick. I love getting more draft capital in a draft that is deep through the fourth and fifth rounds (thanks Covid, for something) and he has elite elite physical tools, but, he is incredibly raw and incredibly inexperienced, plus he played RT in college, and if they flip him to LT, that could be a massive adjustment.

Also, if they are truly going to keep Tyler Smith at guard, we didn't need to take a G/C in the first. I just don't think the value is worth it in the back half of the first when you can trade back, get an extra pick and get a prototypical tackle build. The latter just seems like the better value.
