Specifically she tweeted that those are the “names to watch.” Obviously it’s not a guarantee all or any of the three are there. But they definitely all make a ton of sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextyearfordaboyz Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 People probably give Dallas too hard a time about how they draft on day 2. They are at or near the top of the NFL on day 1, day 3, and UDFA, so this roughly league average performance on day 2 ends up feeling like we’re constantly wasting picks.

Nextyearfordaboyz Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Per Jason La Confora: “At this point, I think Penn State’s Joey Porter Jr., who had a lot of buzz after the season, is at best the fourth cornerback selected. . . .” That would be interesting at #26… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not flawless, but I really don’t have a lot of doubts about his ability to be an alpha corner in the NFL. Under DQ specifically, he might really flourish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextyearfordaboyz Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Pretty good argument to be made we’ve gotten better return out of our 4th round picks than our 2nd rounders. Even a few guys we didn’t see a lot of value out of, like Webb and Wilson, went on to be quality starters elsewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallas94Ware Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 26: R1 P26 RB Bijan Robinson - Texas 58: R2 P27 WR Rashee Rice - SMU 90: R3 P27 S Ji'Ayir Brown - Penn State 129: R4 P27 TE Davis Allen - Clemson 169: R5 P34 G Andrew Vorhees - USC 212: R6 P35 LB Cam Jones - Indiana 244: R7 P27 K Jake Moody - Michigan Tried my hand at a fanspeak draft. I overall wouldn't hate this at all, but I really was hoping for some interior help on D. Just didn't turn out that way, especially with Bijan falling.

He’s not flawless, but I really don’t have a lot of doubts about his ability to be an alpha corner in the NFL. Under DQ specifically, he might really flourish. He is a prototype Quinn style corner. Tough, physical, long arms, great on the press, more than happy to tackle. I would not be against the pick, but I really would prefer they go elsewhere than Porter if going corner. Porter is a flag machine especially projecting to the NFL, and he is aggressive for the ball. We already risk a PI or a big play every down as it is, with Diggs out there. That physical, gambling style is a flag waiting to happen...and it allows too many long gains when you gamble for the ball. We can't have that from both starters. Now moving him to Safety, or playing him as a big nickel inside so he can help against the run and sit tight in zone (where he isn't really his best, mind you) might mask some of these potential problems. Could he possibly be coached out of this style of play? Sure, but then what are you getting? These are the traits that also make him such a great potential corner in the NFL... To me it's just not a great fit here. We need to aim at lowering the big penalties and big plays, not risk more (even if with that risk, we also have a chance to greatly increase the positive big plays such as turnovers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextyearfordaboyz Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Seeing Darnell Washington in the second round almost exclusively. I will lose my mind if we are able to pull that off at #58. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will lose my mind if we are able to pull that off at #58. He is a big dude with the athletic ability off line and down the field of a very small dude. He doesn't have a lot of polish to his game which will slow him down in taking over as a starter and being effective early, but once he learns a few solid routes and starts putting together a few NFL tricks of the trade to create openings, his career will take off. There are instances where I think I am shocked he isn't being talked up as much of a first round guy as Mayer is. But then instances where I watch him taper off a route or lack finish on a block, and I think, is that just lazy and lack of desire or just lack of experience and coaching? Either way, for a second round pick, there is far too much promise in what he can be to not be all freaking over him at 58. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you split TE traits into columns of things that can be learned and things that can’t, Washington’s question marks are all in the first column. Unless there are real personality/work ethic concerns, I’d honestly be 100% on board with him at #26. He can develop into a guy that causes real problems for defenses.

Nextyearfordaboyz Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 If the draft goes: 1) Drew Sanders 2) Darnell Washington 3) Chandler Zavala 4) Roschon Johnson You happy or upset? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
