Drew Shelton OT from Penn State


The first move of the weekend i dont like. Either dude is super slow w stone feet or the film they've chosen to show for him is selectively unfair to his real ability

Developmental OT with first pick of the 4th.


Better than a developmental OT in the 1st.
This guy will start at least one game for us next year.

The names are not who I expected, but this is the direction I figured they would go. Offense/Defense with 112 & 14.

Still feel like RB with the next pick could be big time value if the right guys fall. Legitimate chance to not only make the team, but be our #2 back..

Lots of value at S still on the board also, but I'm not sure the fit with Downs and our FA moves.

With the Cowboys 7 picks away, Harold Perkins Jr sure feels like a typical Jerry-gamble. Relatively low risk but very high upside

Don't hate the pick, but I'm not sure how well Perkins fits after the Barham pick. Same reason why those smaller Nickel players didn't get a look after we took Downs.

There are limited roster spots and despite the popular opinion, it's not like we have 10 open spots on D.

My Goal for this last 4th rounder is get a guy that can legit compete for a roster spot and possibly win a role as a rotation guy.

He needs to get stronger. He is a finesse tackle which I hate but he already has better technique than Guyton.

Like they did with Dan Quinn, they turned this draft over to CP

Overton has all the tools to be great, but never put it together at either spot. But an interesting late 4th that could blossom

I would have liked LB Louis out of Pitt

So I guess we will get more LB help in FA?
I own rent free space in TPS's head....

yeah most of the picks at this point are crap shots.

The only thing I don't like about it is he's missed some games due to injury.
AND Kionte Scott was on the board. If this young DC can't figure out how to play Downs and Scott at the same time… get back to the drawing board.

I don't want to be that guy, but the Jags taking Boerkircher is all the evidence we need that this entire draft after the top 15 picks is a massive crapshoot guess.

I guess I should temper "all the tools". His explosive measurements kind of suck.

Overton is an OK pick I suppose for the 4th round. They will most likely lock him into a "hold the line" role. I think in this defense they call that the 4i spot.

His job will be to eat up blocks so that Lawrence, Eze and Gary can eat. I suppose maybe Sam Williams too assuming he's not jumping off sides or grabbing a face mask.
PooDoo

I think Dee Winters and Louis are very similar.

I like Burks WR from ou and Z Wheatley S from pennst better than Overton.

All in all, between the picks and the trade, this was an extremely productive 3 days that should address many of their defensive issues. This team could make a huge leap in 2026 because the offense is there. Just drag that defense back closer to average or a bit below average vs total dog****, and you have something (IF they can keep Dak upright - that is my main offensive worry)
chris1515

Agreed. I heard an interview with Darren Woodson and he seemed to think just having someone on defense to make sure guys lined up right would make a huge difference (Downs). Beyond that, it seems like they added some good pieces to add to the mix and see what happens.
DannyDuberstein
How long do you want to ignore this user?

Yeah, I think they could be a TON better on defense. Now they need to be a ton better, but they were so stinking predictable with their looks on the back-end and so stinking bad in general. With Parker + real talent, i'm hopeful to see a huge leap. Gotta keep Dak healthy though. Don't love either OT

I think Steele is perfectly fine / average for a RT. Look at it this way, if he were any better he'd want a lot more money that we might not have paid and we'd be dealing with some dude who really was bad.

Hard to get Scott and Downs on the field at the same time this year

He's got a lot of upside. That's about as much as you can ask with that pick. Nobody consistently good/great is still on the board.

If York doesn't get drafted anyone think Dallas brings him in as UDFA?
DannyDuberstein

Still smh at York declaring when he could have gotten a healthy payday to stay. For supposedly the most cerebral player on our defense, he's made what seems to be a very dumb, pre-NIL decision.

Looks like there will be real talent available for UDFA contracts. Lots of guys ranked by prognosticators 4-5 round may fall out completely

I don't know that it means there will be good talent as much as it means this draft was kind of crap. We reached "shrug, I dunno, all the options suck" earlier than normal
