Hopefully he let them know pre-draft.

Cowboys' pass-catchers situation looking pretty grim right now. At least we'll see if Rico Gathers is for real?

Hurns/T-Will/Deonte... yikes. Maybe ya'll can trade for Seth Roberts? :D


I'll take the risk that Mark Andrews is available in the 3rd Round... or Goedert falls to 51 (which I doubt)

As far as Rico... I hope he's as good as he says he is. I'm not exactly brimming with confidence.

I guess the 2nd pick wasn´t unavailable but the Giants didn´t get a good offer. They did the right thing, get the best player in this year´s class.

The Jags were better without Fournette last year, and although he is talented there is no way he goes close to where he went in a re-draft, same with Elliott who is much better than him, but Dallas would take Ramsey without question in that position, heck, they would have drafted Dak 4th if they knew how good he was gonna be

Gettleman comes out as really outdated and limited when it comes to scouting, the good news is, 75% of the NFL operates that way, the fact that they stick to a board and aggregated draft grades is ridiculous :lol:

Way off here. Dallas would still take Zeke over Ramsey. Having an elite back is of great value. Look what happened to Dallas last year without him. Dak was sub-par without him.

Take the elite RB every time. Le'veon Bell, David Johnson, Gurley, Zeke & Saquon are difference makers.

Saquon also has the makings of being a legit superstar. Just from a marketing perspective alone (as much as we may not want to hear that) him being in NYC makes complete sense. He's probably going to be in the top 5 in jersey sales this year.

Barkley was exactly what we needed. Eli has been playing behind a poor line with no running game for years now. We still need to work on the line, but adding a play-making running back to the team was huge. We definitely lucked out the Browns did not take Barkley first, crazy on their part.


Eli is 37 and isn't good. The fact that the Giants don't think that is a problem is hilarious. I don't care if Barkley ends up being the next Adrian Peterson. It was a short sighted decision.

I'm not necessarily disagreeing that RB's for the most part replaceable, but the top of the top, the Leveons, Elliots, David Johnsons clearly find ways to separate themselves from the pack. Absolutely no way Dallas takes Dak over Elliot. Dak isn't very good TBH, can't imagine him ever winning a super bowl.

I've never been overly impressed with Dak either. Seems to be a product of the larger system. He's very mediocre IMO.

it would be nice for one of the guards to fall to the vikes, unless there is a nice spot to move up

otherwise i don't want them to force things - just not another corner
