Ready for a break? 0:00:22.079 --> 0:00:24.200 Yeah, and so much for that. 0:00:24.400 --> 0:00:28.639 It's time for The Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:36.559 with Mbar Garcia, Brian brought us, Patrick Walker, and Derek Eagleton. 0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:42.479 It is Wednesday, May first, twenty twenty four, Season twenty, 0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:45.800 episode number five. Welcome to the latest edition of The Break. 0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:48.240 We are alive from this WVC Mortgage Studios at the Start, 0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:52.600 presented by LG and today we recap the NFL Draft. 0:00:52.640 --> 0:00:57.800 Cowboys had an interesting three days. We'll get into our 0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:00.639 thoughts on each of the different picks and what they 0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:04.320 bring to the Cowboys upsides and where there are risks 0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:07.360 and all those sorts of things. We'll go pick by pick, 0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:10.440 but before we go through that, just overall, and this 0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:12.000 is not again you don't have to get into the 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:16.040 specifics of particular guys, but just overall, looking at how 0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:19.040 the Cowboys conducted themselves throughout the weekend. 0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:21.880 Well, your initial thoughts. Let's start first with you Patrick. 0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:23.080 Oh, I was gonna let the draft network. 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:25.280 No, man, we're all good. You're the one that called 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:26.119 that Detroit trade. 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:27.680 He didn't call it out. We got to give him 0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:28.119 a little lot. 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:32.600 So, first and foremost, thank you Cowboys for not only 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:35.560 striking a trade in the first round, but you were 0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:38.800 able to still remain in position, striking position to be 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:41.720 able to get a starting offensive lineman and that became 0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:44.440 Tyler Guyton. But then you were able to also parlay 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:47.319 that into the seventy third overall pick, which became Cooper 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:50.520 bb who I am a massive fan of. So yes, 0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:53.160 you lost Graham Barton, but losing Graham Barton picked you 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:55.240 up guyten and BB. I can't be mad at that. 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:59.640 So I think that the first round they handled it magnificently. 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:01.880 They were even on the phone lines taking calls at 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:05.280 pick twenty nine to consider moving back further, maybe thirty one, 0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:07.720 thirty two that had Kansas City on the phone. But 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:10.160 I did say last week that I didn't see a 0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:13.000 scenario necessarily wherein they'd be comfortable moving out of the 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:15.840 first round. Why because they wanted fifth year control. Because 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:19.880 they're not typically an organization that gets deals done proactively. 0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:22.520 That fifth year of control comes into play as Stephen 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:26.280 Jones about it post draft. He said, exactly absolutely, they 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:28.480 want the fifth year, so got that on Tyler Guy, 0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:30.519 and I would have liked to see them come away 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:33.360 with another trade back, try to get back or maybe 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:35.079 get back into that fourth round. I wanted to see 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:38.120 them use next year's draft collateral draft capital to be 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:41.120 able to do that. They weren't comfortable doing that. That's 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:43.480 one of my only knocks in that they let the 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:46.040 fourth round go by without them getting into it, because 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:48.160 what did that cost them? A running back? You saw 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:50.240 that run on running backs in the fourth round, and 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:53.120 that had to kill them to see that, and that 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:55.200 led to them not drafting or running back at all. 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:58.600 So those are my only knocks. But overall, when you 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:01.520 look at what they came away with talk about Marshawnneeland, 0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:04.080 I think that although he's not one of the bigger 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:06.880 names in this draft, which is why Cowboys fans are like, 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:09.480 who's that guy? Go watch the film, there's a reason 0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:11.880 a guy like Dame Brugler had him ranked I believe 0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:14.600 thirty second in The Beast. If you don't subscribe to 0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:16.960 the Beast and you're missing out there, But overall, you 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:19.720 triple down on the offensive line. You got yourself a 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:23.040 quality linebacker, got yourself a sleeper and Ryan Floor. Now 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:25.600 I like what they did. If they even got the 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:28.079 big boy and Justin Rodgers in the seventh round. Granted 0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:30.520 that's a flyer, but he comes from a big program. 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:32.520 He was impact for the big program in Auburn. 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:33.280 I like it. 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:33.960 I like it a lot. 0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:37.720 They coveted to tackle more than the center. They liked 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:41.320 the linebacker more because of what they went through last 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:43.760 year with the problems they had, more than the running back. 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:48.880 They were able to recoup. Well, let me put it 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:52.280 this way, they found the right right team to trade 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:55.800 back with. Detroit was super aggressive in this draft and 0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:59.520 they were willing to give up an overpay to get there. 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.839 They were giving up picks, multiple picks anyway to move 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:06.160 around there. So to me, you know you're going in, 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:07.800 you're trying to figure out, okay, how we're going to 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:09.600 help you offensive line, How are you going to help 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:12.480 the linebackers. I think that they did that with both 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:15.400 their picks right there. I think instead of forcing a 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:19.719 running back late by taking the corner from wake Forest, 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:22.919 I think they showed great discipline there. This kid's a 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:24.520 heck of a football player. And I know we're going 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:27.120 to get into all these kids and talk about them, 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:29.520 but overall, I think you have to give them a lot. 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:30.200 Of credit. 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:34.880 Their ability to be patient in some areas, their ability 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:38.680 to work the phones, and their ability to grab players 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:41.200 that they feel like can help them. 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:44.560 Now, me personally, I love the Guide and Pick. 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:47.359 I think I love the BB Pick more and I 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:49.680 think bb is one of these guys. And we'll see, 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:53.960 we'll see about the potential transition from the guard to 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:57.760 the center. But if you talk about a guy that's 0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:01.120 in that mode of plug and play, Beebe's that guy, 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:03.680 maybe a little bit more than Guidon is right now. 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:06.440 Guiden's Guiden's good player, but he's just gonna need a 0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:07.480 little work in some areas. 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:09.520 Yeah, That's one of the things I seem to have 0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:12.800 heard a lot as I've read different people's takes on 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:15.000 the Guidan Pick is that he's a bit of a project. 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:18.839 Whether that how much of a project he is not. 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:21.400 To the not to the point of project where you 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:23.760 would like, you're just gonna have to totally remake the. 0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:25.520 Kid, Right, He's just a couple of things, you got. 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:27.560 There's there's some things that you're gonna have to deal 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:29.320 with with the hands and the feet. But we heard 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:32.440 the same thing about Tyler Smith, you know, because Tyler 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:35.279 Smith led the nation and holding calls and it was 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:36.920 his hands. A lot of his hands were you know, 0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:39.240 his hands were a little wonky at times. But but 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:41.200 to your you know, I'm sorry, I mean to interrupt 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:44.680 you there, but it's not that project where you're like, I, 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:47.040 we're just taking a guy here and maybe we can 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:49.160 make it work. Now this this guy's got a little 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:51.200 lot of really good traits to his game. 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:51.599 Yeah. 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:54.559 And I say this on in the post draft pod 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:58.119 and Ambar was there as well. Uh, money on the table. 0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:00.400 I believe Geten is you're starting left tackle when week 0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:02.040 one comes around. I think they put him through the 0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:04.320 crash course. I don't think this is a Massie Smith 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:06.640 situation where they're like, okay, well you know, we have 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:08.720 you learned behind the veteran in this situation, be like 0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:10.320 chewing when you dog or something like that. I think 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:13.120 they throw gutting out there after this training camp and 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:15.520 they say, hey, it's time for you to learn by 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:17.440 hooker by crook how to play left tackle. But to 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:20.479 his credit and like Brian is saying, he's not a 0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:25.240 completely raw prospect. Right. So, he has played effectively at 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:27.840 the edge, albeit right tackle with Oklahoma, but in speaking 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:30.280 with the young man, he said he prefers to play 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:32.279 left tackle, which sounds like he wish he would have 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:33.760 gotten more burned there at Oklahoma. 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:36.520 So he was checking the blind side of the quarterback 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:37.960 because it was a left handed question in this. 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:41.039 Quarterback right right, So he sounds like a guy who's 0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:43.479 kind of tamping at the bit to get to left 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:45.559 tackle because he actually wants to be on that side. 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:48.200 So I could see him just soaking up every single 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:50.320 thing that he can to make sure that he's effective. 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:51.479 Here's the magical question. 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:53.320 When you say you expect him to be the start 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:56.240 of week one, is that because of his level of 0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:59.520 ability or is that because of the level of competition 0:06:59.560 --> 0:06:59.960 he will. 0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:02.200 Be left tackle? The answer is yes, yes. 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:05.240 The answers yes, I think it's more you know, to me, yeah, 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:07.440 it you could. I guess you could say yes there, 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:07.960 But to. 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:10.720 Me, I I don't think anybody at left tackle is 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:11.920 proven right there. 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:13.760 To me, that's that's where you know. 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:17.920 They they clearly had a need to draft a tackle 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:21.400 and they got one, and they you know, they they 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:23.920 plug and play guys, and so we'll see. I mean, 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:26.600 I'm I like the pick, I really really do. 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:26.920 Man. 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:29.760 I was Fitanu was coming down the board that kid 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:32.080 from Washington. I'm thought, man, the draft guys are about 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:32.480 to throw. 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:32.920 Them one here. 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:35.360 You know this is this is a seedy lamb kind 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:37.600 of about to come down the board at him, and 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:39.720 it just didn't quite get there. But Guiden is a 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:43.000 very very good uh selection for them. 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:43.240 Yeah. 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:45.480 And then when you think about it, and we talk 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:48.400 a lot about Austin Richards for example, uh, and I 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:51.320 don't know, right he's going into his second year. If 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:54.200 and this is not to say awsome Richards cannot move 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:56.400 forward and maybe be a quality swing tackle, but if 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:59.080 they felt like he could be a starting tackle in 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:01.680 the league effective or two, they wouldn't spent a first 0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:04.760 round draft pick on a tackle. So when you talk 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:07.960 about the level of competition, it's your incoming first round 0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:11.600 pick versus former fifth round pick last year. Austin Richards, 0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:14.440 a veteran at chumy DOGA Matt will Letsko who has 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:17.520 a high ceiling, but his shoulders don't like to play nice. 0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:19.600 Josh bald is going to be moved to the inside, 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:21.360 So he's going to have a hill to climb because 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:24.000 now he's going up against you know, the Tyler Smiths 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:25.920 and the t J. Basses and the Broad Kaffins of 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:28.200 the world, much like Bbie is going up against the 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:31.280 broad Coffins of the world. So yeah, it's it's ability 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:35.640 a high ceiling on guy in combination, I should say, 0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:38.160 with the fact that the competition just isn't as strong 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:40.480 as as you know it probably could be. Otherwise. 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:42.520 We got to welcome Ag to the show here. 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:43.120 She made it. 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:47.600 Yeah, a fresh offer, fresh off a trip to Minnesota, 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:49.720 and I'm gonna drop a little nugget for y'all. She 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:51.880 was working on this project we got coming up for 0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:54.800 Deep Blue teasers, and I'll just say Mary and the 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:57.520 Barbarian That's all I've got to say. 0:08:57.640 --> 0:08:59.520 The Barbaria is involved in. 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:06.080 I know that's a fan favorite. It'll be a little 0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:08.200 I think people will be excited about that. But anyway, 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:10.319 we're talking about the draft, i'd like you to give 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:12.440 me your general thoughts. Obviously don't have to go through 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:14.120 play by player, We're going to do that in a second, 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:16.560 but just overall, What were your thoughts on how the 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:17.920 Cowboys approached the weekend. 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:22.120 I think overall it's uh. I like the picks that 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:24.800 they were able to make. I like the trade and 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:26.840 the fact that they were able to get two players 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:30.679 out of that trade, which was very important, especially at 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:34.839 the position in the O line. And overall, other than 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:38.920 the running back debate and dilemma there, I do like 0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:43.120 how they came out out of the draft. Now I'm 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:50.520 hesitant to speak on and Guidon because and I don't 0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:54.120 know why, and I just I don't like the feeling 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:55.040 or my opinion. 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:56.680 I don't like my opinion right now. 0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:00.800 And every time everything I've heard from everybody, he has 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:01.840 been very positive. 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:05.480 Meeting the guy and listening to him. I love him. 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:10.360 I absolutely love him, love him, love his personality, love 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:13.920 the the will like you can just tell that he's 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:17.480 gonna get out there on the field and really work, work, work, 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:21.120 and work really hard to get to where. 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:21.560 He needs to be. 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:27.080 But something inside me, it's kind of very I don't 0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:30.160 feel great about it. And maybe it's because the amount 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:33.960 of expectation, the amount of pressure that you're having to 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:38.120 put behind a guy, and we've seen it before where mentally, 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:40.640 it can really take a toll on you. And you 0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:44.839 can look physically look like the guy, the right guy, 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:49.080 and this guy is his arms are freaking long, Like 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:53.760 it's insane how big this guy is and the length 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:57.560 length that he has. But something inside me is just 0:10:57.679 --> 0:11:02.400 very feels very uneasy easy because of the spot that 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:04.920 he's having to be put in and the amount of 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:08.320 pressure and sometimes yeah, we've we've seen it before and 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:11.520 it just makes me uneasy, even though I hear people 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:14.200 being very very excited to what he's bringing. And you 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:17.600 love to hear a guy say, hey, I prefer play 0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:18.800 left tackle, which is. 0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:21.439 Great, but I don't know, man, I don't know. 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:24.319 I just so do you because I feel like and 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:28.120 I understand exactly what you're saying. But when you look 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:31.240 at the hit rate for Will McClay and the Will 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:31.880 m clay. 0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:32.800 Era, that's another thing. 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:35.840 Right, So yeah, brought has made a good point a 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:37.839 few minutes ago when it comes to Tyler Smith. When 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:40.840 Tyler Smith, when that was the pick cowboys got dragged 0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:43.040 on social media for that pick. Who's this kid and 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:45.760 he leaves the nation in holding and he's coming from Tulane. 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:47.120 That's not a program right. 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:48.560 By the way the Cowboys are. 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:51.079 The Cowboys are coming off a year where they were 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:53.480 having issues withholding, and so it's like you're just making 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:55.280 one probable word and whole and. 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:58.160 Then what happens. Tyler Smith flies right out of the 0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:00.839 gate as a left guard and then he saves the day, 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:02.960 helps save the day at left tackle, and then you 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:04.720 put him back at left guard and he's an all pro. 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:07.440 So and I mean, we're talking two years in, so 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:10.840 I think when again, I understand the concern and we 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:13.440 were just talking about our concerns as well when it 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:16.640 comes to God. But I think the overall consensus is 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:20.480 that not only does he have the physical ability to 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:22.000 do it, not only does he have the will and 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:24.320 the want to do it. Also I'd be remiss if 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:27.360 I didn't mention his support system and just how strong 0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:29.679 his support system is and how much he's leaning on 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:32.120 that to be great, not just at the NFL level, 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:35.960 but there's this extra oomph by being the Cowboys. When 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:38.760 having conversations with his father, Hell looking at seeing how 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:42.640 emotional this father was at the pickup in the locker room, 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:46.360 tears his dad laying on the start in the Star 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:49.160 of Facilities, so I think when you have that type 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:51.480 of support system kind of pushing him to be great, 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:53.720 I don't think. I don't think Tyler's going to settle 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:54.200 for anything. 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:58.600 That's also potentially add to the mental pressure of things. 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:01.520 And again, maybe it's just that the anxiety and me 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:04.560 and the panic person that I am in nature, because 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:06.880 when you talk about the success that the Cowboys have 0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:12.360 had drafting linement O Linement specifically, it's been great. But 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:16.439 in my mind, I'm like, well, what law of probability? 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:20.040 At what point did they actually miss one? And again, 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:23.320 I'm not trying to be pessimistic, and I want to 0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:26.640 be very optimistic about everything that he can bring in 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:29.559 the trust that I put in Will McLay and his team. 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:32.640 But since you guys are forcing me to be on 0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:37.040 the show and speak and speak something inside me right 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:40.240 now at this moment, Yeah, still still fair. 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:40.959 It is fair. 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:43.560 I wonder where they have this is just me, the 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:46.120 scout in me. I wonder where they had Tirian Arnold, 0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:48.000 the corner from Alabama. 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:49.559 On their board that was the one who was picked 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:50.200 by Detroit. 0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:53.440 Yeah, because I know on my board he was my 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:56.120 seventh overall player. And if you were playing the game 0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:59.840 of best available player on the board, Terran Arnold would 0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:01.920 be and should have I mean, and if you were 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:05.000 doing if you didn't have, say, you didn't have the 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:09.800 need to tackle a corner cornerback. To me, you know, 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:11.680 that was one of those things that all of a sudden, 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:14.520 you're picking potentially at twenty four and maybe the seventh 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:17.240 best players on your board, and you're like going they 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:18.640 talk about the blinking light. 0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:21.520 To me, that was a blinking light if. 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:24.720 You didn't have the need and maybe this first pick, 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:27.040 this tackle pick was about need. 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:28.120 Yeah, I think it was. 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:31.280 But I think the need was was not necessarily just 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:33.960 the or the overriding need was not just necessarily a 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:36.400 boy just getting a tackle. I think the need was 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:39.640 we need another pick. We got too many, we got 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:42.440 too many holes we got to fill. We need options 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:45.280 like and so I think for them, I think trading back. 0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:46.920 For me, even if you were going to look at 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:49.920 someone like Terry and Arnold, the question becomes, would you 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:52.760 take him or would you take two guys a tackle 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:56.440 and the center potentially as opposed to taking the I think. 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:59.240 If Troy Fatanu from Washington was on that board when 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:01.800 at twenty four they wouldn't have got the seventy third 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:04.480 pick gonna they were gonna hand that card in. They 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:06.480 were gonna think, Okay, maybe we can do it some 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:09.360 other way down the line. The fact that they were 0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:12.520 offered the seventy third pick, I think is a huge deal. 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:16.120 But I think if a certain a certain player or 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:18.760 two was there, I don't see them trading back. 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:19.520 I will tell you this. 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:22.640 Going into the draft, and we heard some some things 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:25.000 that came out of the war room, it was it 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:27.960 was a high percentage chance as far as the way 0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:29.920 they were looking at going into the draft that they 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:30.640 were going to trade back. 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:31.240 I think their. 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:34.680 Expectation was, we are trading back and we're gonna find 0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:36.880 the right partner to be take an extra pick. And 0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:38.640 not only did they find the right partner, they found 0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:41.000 the right part of that got them that overpaid to 0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:43.200 come up so they could get a guy like Cooper Bebe. 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:46.440 I had a Detroit fan argue with me though about 0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:49.680 this and any not argue, but made a point the 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:52.960 overpay by the Lions actually for what it would have 0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:55.920 cost them to go from twenty nine to get Arnold 0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:57.080 say at seven. 0:15:57.680 --> 0:16:00.680 Is actually a deal. Yeah, no doubt they for the 0:16:00.720 --> 0:16:01.960 player that they got. 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:04.360 You know, I was thinking about you know what, Yeah, 0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:07.360 it's overpay on the chart, But for Detroit to go 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:10.680 from twenty nine to potentially where this guy was projected 0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:14.040 to being taken in the top ten, they got, They 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:14.600 got a deal. 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:16.600 You paid the price for a higher quality play. It 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:18.920 did right, and it worked for everybody. I think this 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:20.760 is one situation work for everywhere. 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:23.640 And there's also the thing to consider in that, Yes, 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:27.520 they ended up getting gout in offensive tackle, high area 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:29.560 of need, but if Darius Robinson was still on the 0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:31.200 clock at twenty nine, was still on the board at 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:33.480 twenty nine, there was a great chance they were going 0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:35.800 to pull the trigger on Darius Robinson. They were very 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:38.120 very high on him, and I'm told that was a discussion. 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:40.400 He was in that discussion as well, So keep that 0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:42.000 in mind, ladies and gentlemen. But he went off the 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:44.080 board at twenty seven. So that kind of solved the 0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:45.920 problem there for the Cowboys, and there was guy in 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:46.720 steering them in the face. 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:48.480 So all right, we're gonna take our first break when 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:50.440 we come back. We've talked a little bit about Tyler 0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:51.960 guid and we're going to go through this list of 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:54.560 the other picks that the Cowboys made and give you 0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:56.560 some scottery reports on what we think of these other picks. 0:16:56.600 --> 0:16:57.880 We'll be back Dallas, Cowboys dot com. 0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:02.000 Ragod thought it would be secure to jog in the cheatah. 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:05.120 Savannah Todd believed the big cat repellent he bought online 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:07.919 was reliable.
