2015 NFL Draft

[irishfan]

Smith seems legitimately more muscular than Will.

If Fuller adds that kind of strength to his body he is going to be real damn good.

Oh ya. If he ever gets to being 195 like Smith/Agholor and keeps his speed he should go Top-20 easy.

So my Cowboys picked up some interesting UDFA's. George Farmer WR USC and Deontay Greenberry WR Houston. I'll be interested to follow those guys through camp.

I think those were two nice invites here. I like what the Cowboys are doing at receiver, and I would suspect at least one of these guys surprising.

Couple good pickups I think. I like what the Cowboys have done the last couple years with their roster.

I really liked the Byron Jones pick as well. He's more than a Combine freak, he had some really good film.

Yup Byron Jones was one of the players I really wanted the Eagles to take. If we didn't take Agholor I think we would have taken him.

 

[Luckylucci]

Agreed, no downside but both have some real upside. Irishfan, I was also a big fan of Byron Jones relative to be taken at 27, plus they think he can play both CB and S. I'll say that for the last few years they're drafting much more solid character guys, for the most part. Look at the last 3 1st rounders and they're all RKG's if you will. I think Garrett has a pretty good vision of what he wants to coach. I've been happy with what they're doing for the most part but not taking an RB in the draft has me a little nervous.

As nice as having RKGs has been, getting Gregory when they did was even a better pick than Jones in the 1st IMO. RB was a head scratcher though.

not at you but GTFO.....if it is purely based on physical appearance...he should be dominating people at his size/speed etc and is NOT AT ALL

A couple of 5 star recruits if memory serves. Goes to show all 5 stars aren't ticketed for a big payday right out of school. Perfect example of why these kids should be working towards a degree. If they (and many others like them) don't make the squad, what will they fall back on. I bet Greenberry got sold a bad bill of goods as part of the recruiting pitch that landed him at Houston.

The Cowboys may have gotten 3 first-round talents this year.

I just don't get the Robinson stuff.

Replace him with Fuller and it makes sense.

Yeah, me too.

After 2014 I wouldn't have Hackenberg that high either.

I absolutely HATE psu but that would be like judging jimmy clausen in his 1st year..their oline is the worst at pass pro..

God, that sucks. Hopefully, Fowler only tweaked something!

Also, I thought I've read before that they can't do 11 on 11 this early....?

that doesn't look at all like a tweak...his knee buckled right before any significant contact w/ the tackle and then gets worse

 

[Huntr]

And boom goes the ACL. 15 minutes into your 1st pro practice. Man that sucks.

Yeah that is really bad. He will still get a ring though when the Jags win the Super Bowl (italics).

I'm not hating on him as a prospect. I'm just saying you want to see if he can do some things he wasn't doing in the 2014 season before you use that high of a pick on the dude.

Because they will fall at home in the AFC Title Game.
