    Yeah, but people are already writing off this draft class as a dud and that's beyond stupid. I've been pissed off at plenty of Ozzie's moves in the past, but at the same time we don't know how their board stacks up. The rule is that you wait at least three years to judge a draft class (remember how excited we were after the 2013 draft?) so an hour into day two is WAY too early to start bringing in the doom and gloom. Let the draft pan out for crying out loud.

    Feels like we reached for a need in Stanley and now we got cute in the 2nd.

    We just have different outlooks

    What's wrong with waiting to see how the draft actually pans out though (much less giving it time to let the picks play)? The meltdown in here is utterly ridiculous.

    Just saying, the Ozzie riding is equally ridiculous. Recent draft classes don't give me much confidence in the strategy we're taking and players we're passing on.

    He lost the trust Ozzie stuff when his first picks in drafts are Upshaw, Kindle, and Elam.  

    Pure speculation on my part but I bet Decosta has had more say in recent years. Even to their own admittance they've not reach the earlier standards set. 

     

    Huge gambles they're taking.

    I heard Lynch but then Denver traded up. Cowboys could've got both Lynch and Elliot if they took a 4th from us so we could get Ramsey. Bad call for them. I am still happy with the Stanley pick he will make it so we didn't waste a 1st round last year in Perriman and waste 6 million a year on Wallace because now they will have time to get open. 

    Dallas didn't wanna risk Jax trading down. Surprised they were that high on Elliot while planning to trade up for QB in late 1st.

    Which would make sense, given that it appears it was the Cowboys who backed out of the deal.

    Of course we also don't know which 4th... we have four of them. Two of them can't be traded, so it was either #104 (likely) or #130.

    I actually don't blame Dallas for turning the deal down though. 

    Well Jerry Jones just oddly admitted trying hard to trade up for Paxton Lynch. If he would've took our 4th, it could've helped them out bigly with that.

    What we probably won't ever know is what our offer was (or what Dallas wanted). My guess is that it was for a third rounder, which maybe we didn't want to give up. I certainly think our offer would have been at least our early 4th.

    Probably never know... all moot now. Hopefully we will be better off.

    Read some place it was our 4th.

    He's immediantly better as a prospect than Oher was. Look at the technique! High football IQ guy. Smart guy. He lacks a mean streak? Sure, but he was easily one of the safest picks in the draft. Why do you not like him?? 

    I like his potential, just not reaching for him over BPA. 6th overall is a big deal and I don't feel he'll ever live up to it. Somewhere in the teens is where he belonged, IMO. Question my logic and I hope I'm just being an idiot, but when I watch games on him and listen to interviews, I think he's soft. For 6th overall he lacks the nasty I want in a run blocker. Won't be confident in him vs the premier rushers. I don't believe an OT should be taken this high unless they're damn near a transcending talent. He'll start for us and having reliability/durability at the position will be a major positive but I'm skeptical how better he immediately makes the OL. Man, I hope I'm completely wrong on him and look back at this laughing.

    Apparently we were close to trading up with Dallas for a only 4th but they wouldnt pull the trigger, unfortunately... I would've offered a 3rd for Ramsey. 

     

    Recent title games/SB trends show teams who have worked around not having a elite OL. Not trying to significantly devalue the importance of a good LT(our guys must put extreme emphasis on it) just a very high investment and I think we Buckner,Hargreaves or trading down would've been the wiser.
