2016 Draft - Never too early

[Mr B]

And Andrew Billings stock is soaring after the combine. Hall of famer, Bill Polian says he is the best DT and steal of the draft. More music to my ears.

Really? Everything I've seen shows that Billings stock is falling for some reason. Most "experts" that do top 100 player lists have him falling and most mocks I've seen now have him going in the late 1st to early 2nd.

If that's the case, and what you are saying is true, then I may just get what I want. Myles Jack round 1, Andrew Billings round 2. It would be major yee-haa material for me. I would be in heaven. Myles Jack is the best LB in the draft and a top 6 player in the draft. Not only is he a freak of nature LB, but he is great in coverage and can also play safety. What versatility he brings playing next to Sean Lee. Saw some film on Jack recently and he reminds me so much of Hollywood Henderson. Plus it was just reported that Bosa is quite the party animal. I'm all done with those type of players. Myles Jack also has a solid background and is of absolute high character. ONE injury doesn't mean he is injury prone.

If it wasn't for Jack's knee I'd be all on board for taking him. I'm just tired of the Cowboys drafting injury prone players. Having Lee and Jack starting really scares me.

And I'm sick and tired of drafting low character, high risk thugs. Hopefully the Cowboys will find some common ground for guys like us in the draft that can make us both happy.

Agreed! I'm really starting to come around on the DT's. Especially Buckner.

That figures. Jerry loves the high risk players. That sucks. Just what we need, another party animal.

It's safe to assume that most of the players will participate in the party scene, right?

Most do party however most also know how not to get caught.

As someone who put 14 years working in the human service field, I can't find anything healthy to defend these statements. I haven't seen too many positives parting all the time, substance abuse, hanging with the wrong crowds and strip clubs, sorry. If I was making 8 million a year I could find a lot more healthy ways to spend my money and putting myself in poisoning situations and environments. That's just me though.

You use to service humans?

Yea there aren't too many positive living that kind of lifestyle. Especially if people know you have money. You become a target. For most people they can go out and have fun but they know that limit they can't pass. But people like Manziel and Adam Jones (when he was younger) need to just stay their ass at home.

Depends on what you mean by servicing, lol. The way you phrased it made me feel like it was something sexual.

Colin Cowherd: Dallas Cowboys have unbelievable leverage in 2016 draft dlvr.it/KjPCJM pic.twitter.com/FBZI2kAGA3

[bluejerseyjinx]

I agree we have great leverage here. I feel there are at least 4 teams desperate for a QB. That's why I posted a few weeks ago we can make out like bandits here if the right deal comes along. WE just need to send Jerry to Guantanamo, Cuba for the draft.

You guys know anything about this RB from La Tech named Dixon? Heard we are interested in him. Todd McShay went on record last night and said Cowboys WILL Take RB by round 3.

I know he demolished North Texas damn near on his own last year (my grandson goes there) with 6 TD's. I also remember his 99 yard TD from two years ago. You look at his stats and they are impressive. According to my grandson - he passes the eye test too. Above that - it appears he can be a 3 down back. Caught 30+ passes each of the last two years.

87 career TD's is nothing to sneeze at. If he's there on Day 2 it might be hard not to consider him. Reading up just now it appears other teams have noticed him too.

Yea he has the potential to be a 3 down back. I mentioned in another posted that his running style is very similar to McFadden. He can run between the tackles and finishes runs well but he's a much better outside runner. He's also a very good receiver. He's also probably built more like a WR. He's got more of an athletic frame. Not very big in the lower body like a lot of the shorter RB's.

I personally think Devontae Booker from Utah would be a better compliment to McFadden. Booker is more of an inside runner. He's also a very good receiver out of the backfield though. Booker has a similar running style to Arian Foster. A 1 cut runner. He likes to get going downhill fast. Not a lot of dancing around. He is very good though at making guys miss in traffic though.

No surprise on compensatory picks. Cowboys awarded additional pick in 4th (135), and three in 6th (212, 216, 217).

Due to Romo's fragile bones, I would put a lot of stock in a RB that can block in blitzing situation. That would be a high priority for me.

Elliott is the best RB in the draft at blocking and picking up the blitz.

I hope he doesn't fumble like Foster.

I'm not interested in Foster either. That is a status quo signing that brings little to the table. I'm not interested in a "compliment to McFadden" either. If Dixon is sitting there in the 2nd round, I'm perfectly fine taking the kid at that point.

And - I'm with you. 1st round is spent in the D-line if we stay at 4. If we move... all bets are off.

I read up on this guy over the weekend. He sounds impressive. I never saw him play so he hasn't passed my eye test, so I have to take your guys word on him. I have no problem taking one pick for offense as long as it addresses the RB position. We are in good shape on offense.

I won't mind taking an offensive lineman with one of those supplemental picks. I'm of the opinion you can never go wrong drafting one every year. That's one place where getting old can cost you in a hurry.

As we have seen in the past.
