Congrats!

Jerry called, he just named you the GM of the Dallas Cowboys and your first task --> Building the Big Board. The scouts have submitted the reports, now it is up to you to build it.

Is this Barmore? And is he the last 1st round grade we should have? Does this make it seem the draft is really deep & not top heavy or am I missing on some obvious answers?

Darrisaw, AVT, Newsome, Ojulari, Parsons are still 1st round grades in my book. Lance, Barmore, Moehrig more like 1/2s. 

[eagles suck]

Lance definitely is a 1st rd grade

Man, something about Parsons that just unnerves me. 

I am leaning towards Darrisaw.

[WizardHawk]

Darrisaw for me.

I’m totally unnerved by Parsons, and maybe his biggest hater here. But he’s a still probably my last 1st round grade. 

[plan9misfit]

I went with Darrishaw.

Positional value and every tool you could ask for.

QBs are an impossible part of this exercise for a fan base that has their QB already. As a GM and/or coach, at some point you are going to have to stake your career on a QB. Is Lance a worthy gamble? I say yes.

In which case, he’s a clear first round pick.

We both know why, though. He’s an off the ball LB who is still learning that position, opted out in 2020, and is rumored to have character issues and doesn’t seem to love playing football. Lots of risk, there.

The only two “knocks” on him (if someone ones to find things to pick at) are the lack of on-field experience and that he’s coming from a lower division, which makes him raw and harder to evaluate. Even still, all of the tools are there, and his physical metrics are exactly what you want in a QB; big, strong, nice arm, athletic, good decision making, and he doesn’t turn the ball over. The only thing that is still relatively unproven is the leadership aspect, which is due to the lack of games played at the position. To me, he’s a mid-1st round pick.

Darrishaw and then Barmore

Yeah, I’m avoiding him. Especially for Dallas. If I’m a fan of New England? Or Baltimore? Or Pittsburgh? A place with really strong coaching and culture? I’m a lot more willing to bet on that upside.

We need guys who can help create a culture. Not guys who need to be molded by one.
