Linebackers and edge rushers not on the visit list? Ebiketie, Mafe, Dean? Who else? Thibodeaux? We've been hearing he may slide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they’d trade up, but I don’t get the vibe that’s what Watkins is referring to here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think the most likely scenario is they just sit tight and take Kenyon Green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matts4313 Posted May 4, 2022 Author Share Posted May 4, 2022 The man in charge of the Cowboys draft is tired but pleased with the work his staff was able to accomplish last weekend. Will McClay, the Cowboys’ vice president of player personnel, knows the questions about first-round pick OL Tyler Smith and second-round selection DE Sam Williams won’t stop until they produce. That comes with the territory of putting the NFL draft board together for general manager Jerry Jones. “I think we were prepared just as we were last year,” McClay told The Dallas Morning News on Tuesday afternoon. “When you go in the second round, when it wasn’t as — at least we deemed it — as much of a top-heavy starter level draft. [It was] more so a backup/compete-to-start [round]. You just had to find the right vision for a guy. I think our vision for what the guy could do and what are his areas of concern.” --------------------------------------------------------------------- “We do have to take those [off-the-field] things into account. But we’re also not stupid. We take into account all of the things that he’s done since, where it came from and the reasoning why and trying to find out about the person more so than the story that’s going to grab headlines. We try and find out about the person that tells us about the player.” The next phase is for McCarthy and the coaching staff to morph this talent into something that’s going to compete for a division title and push this franchise beyond the divisional round of the postseason. It’s not a smooth task. “I think like anything, I’ve always looked at the collection of talent as the starting line,” McCarthy said Saturday after the draft. “The connection of the talent among your football team is where the real money is at and what you’re focusing on.” You can thank Will McClay and his staff for that. https://www.dallasnews.com/sports/cowboys/2022/05/03/cowboys-vp-of-player-personnel-will-mcclay-on-how-dallas-found-right-vision-for-2022-draft-class/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pf9 Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Surprised the Cowboys weren't chosen to play Jacksonville in London given their popularity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextyearfordaboyz Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 We let it get to the wire on Tank, Amari, Dak, Gregory, Schultz, Gallup, Etc. Have to be smart about who you pay, but would love to get back to signing guys early. CeeDee and Diggs, come on down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only person on the roster that I think we can lock up right now on a seriously discounted deal is Steele. Diggs is coming off a 40 year old INT record. Lamb knows what we all do, he is going to be the crux of our passing game. Schultz maybe? If he will negotiate for less than high end money.

Matts4313 Posted May 4, 2022 Author Share Posted May 4, 2022 So many of you know who Tom House is? Right? Considered the QB whisperer. There is a guy named Duke Manweather. He is considered the OL whisperer. He just tweeted this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I understand, he wont stick with one team. But I think we hired him for the offseason, maybe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a lot of value to be had in negotiating a deal early, even if it doesn’t give you a huge discount on average annual value. Lower guarantees, for example, or longer contract length. We can’t sign CeeDee or Diggs now anyway, so my example was bad. But next offseason, getting handed a $50M check a year early would definitely lead to getting beneficial contract terms for Dallas. Certainly better than when they are about to hit the open market and things have gotten ugly. Also, the contract will just keep going up. Market value today will be less than market value tomorrow. For this offseason, Tony Pollard might be an interesting name, if you are planning to move on from Zeke next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
