You know, after doing some diving into the draft, I think I would love to trade back and accumulate a couple more picks. This is a deep draft at RB and it's too heavy w OL and DL. Wondering if we shouldn't go trenches early and RB later.

Also, I think there's an interesting name in FA. Darius Slayton from the giants is a FA. He would be a guy that would be interesting paired w CD. He's had four seasons of 700+ yards w a terrible QB situation in NY.
I wouldn't mind moving back a little and then drafting Nolen or a Michigan DT.

Slayton would scare me. He has talent but he seems to have a knack for dropping a pass in important moments. He can't be anything more than a WR4, IMO. I think it was 2022 when he had an all time bad drop%.

I think WR4 is a bit disrespectful of slayton. 700 yards 4 years in a row w that QB is pretty good, IMO.

I think it could be a case when a guy gets away from a bad situation into a good one w a good QB and a top tier WR so there's not as much pressure on him to be the guy.

McCarthy pulled out of the running for the NO job. Sounding like Kellen is the favorite there.

Don't want to make this political but Jerruh is turning into Biden 2.0. He is starting to just ramble incessantly and make super off the wall comments like his whole "Glory holes" comment from yesterday. Can the NFL Owners come together and vote no confidence or whatever and force jerry out?
No matter what!

Im sure most of the owners enjoy watching the train wreck as long as it doesnt make the league look bad.

Becoming a huge fan of Marshall edge Mike Green. The Cowboys Draft Show interviewed him this week and he comes across as super likable dude.

Then there's this from this morning's 1-on-1 drills at the Senior Bowl

Wow, it just dawned on me that I had no idea what Will McClay actually looked like. I thought he was an old white guy.

I knew what he looked like, but if you only listened to him in a radio interview you would absolutely guess a 60-something white guy.

Between the mick last name and the way he talks on the radio, I thought until about 2023 he was a mid-60's white guy who happen to have a young kids on accident because he talks often about his kids not wanting to move etc. To say I was shocked by reality was an understatement. In my mind he had white hair, a white mustache, and looked the type of guy who lives on steak & beer and never wore a tie.

after hearing multiple sources, including Albert Breer today, seems obvious that Jerry never thought Mac would actually walk.

If that's the case, Jerry sounds exactly like my old boss 20 years ago. Constantly making my job more difficult, constantly treating me as if anything bad was all my fault, and then he wants to sit down and talk about the future... That look on his face when I handed him my formal resignation instead!!!

I bet Jerry had the same look on his face when Mike said, "no thanks, I'll just leave". It was possibly the best decision I've ever made. It felt AMAZING at the time and I've had nothing but success ever since then. I bet Mike feels the same!

Jerry seems married to that old cliche, "deadlines make deals."

Watching an old man who has built an empire as a deal maker just get thrashed over and over is sad.
Dak, Mac, Zeke, and Lamb have all stared him down.

Another interesting thing I'm seeing as more folks diving into the draft. This is a good DT draft. Big Walt is getting great buzz and I saw a guy today say that graham out of Michigan is one of the best interior DL he's ever scouted. Maybe we need to go DT early.

I don't think he'll fall to us but getting Graham at 12 would be like getting Parsons at 12.

That's prob true.

I suspect Nolen would be the interesting one. Most of what I've seen leading up to this indicated that 12 would be a bit early for him, but with him showoing out at the practices this week, 12 might not be too early.

If Graham was available, I probably couldn't run to the phone fast enough to draft him, but people seem more and more confident he's going to go between picks 5-7. Stinks. A year where there is some no brainer elite talent just within grasp of the Cowboys, just so happens to be one of the worst QB drafts we've seen in almost YEARS, making them out of reach. I really question if both Cam Ward and Shedeur are both going to go top 10. It just seems like such a risk when their are no doubt future all pros on the board like Abdul Carter, Travis Hunter, Mason Graham, Will Campbell, Jalon Walker etc.

I also have heard that Big Walt is really climbing up peoples list. He, like Shemar Stewart, is a physically talented as they come.

ETA: for our Aggie purposes, I am really starting to see Nic Scourton fall out of the first round from a lot of different outlets. He's going to have to test really well to climb back in.

Well, he should be the GM. But other than that, yes, they didn't screw it up.

heard a draft guy say it was the best running back draft, depth-wise in recent memory.

I will say, there is some question about his motor, but when's he's motivated, he's a beast.

What was that guy's name a few years ago. David Irving?

Lol... Talk about unstoppable beast when he wanted to. What an animal. Too bad he just wanted to get high.
