Talkin' Cowboys: Bold Draft Predictions!

gonna think some crazy things on Talking Cowboys. It is Draft week at the Star in First go in the s WBC studios. Welcome in, everybody. Rob Phillips, Isaiah stand back, het Ma Harrison. I'm Kyle Yeomans, and we are fresh off the pre draft press conference a little bit later today than are no normal talking Tuesday time slot, but Rob lots to talk about from the pre draft press conference. Apparently Taco Charlton was a selection straight from Steven Jones.

There was a Taco reference. There was a Taco Charles forty five minutes. Yes, I don't know if that's a good thing to joke about. It was. It was a jab man dab straight up jab talk about the draft plenty is of course we are just under or just around. Oh it's Taco Tuesday. Hit the hit the Mario sound for yourself there it is, Rob, What what did you get out of the press conference? And you actually went to the walk off as well? There was no walk off.

There was no walk off. You didn't miss anything. Um, so you're saying the Cowboys gonna get crazy on Thursday nights. That which sounds like that is that? It was that a quote directly from jeffs directly. There's nothing dangerous about thinking crazy things. Apparently they've been running through the scenarios about trading up, trading down, drowned one, round two, round three, they've done it all to this point. Apparently they always

do that. They always do that and look like, I'm not going to be a cynic here, but do it. These pre draft press conferences are what they are like they they're there's some gamesmanship being played every year during this and it's always about forty five minutes and there's useful information that comes out of it, but there's a on a certain level, they're not going to give us anything you know. I mean, Mike McCarthy was asked about certain positions breaking down positions. He just flat said, no,

I'm not going to do that. Uh. You know, Stephen Jones was asked about certain interior offensive linemen that we've talked about that David did ask that question. It was David Moore. There was a Todd I think it was Todd. I was like, somebody's getting straight to the point, and Stephen just you know, Dwight Powell rejected that into the third roads that we're not going to talk about. Go MAVs, baby,

go MAVs. Um so like. But but that being said, I mean, they're they're There were some some good items of information that kind of, you know, give us an idea of maybe where they're leaning towards. But basically what I took out of it was sure, twenty four could be some nice players available, but we could trade up, or hell, we could trade down. You know, they're not ruling anything out, and that's usually how these press conferences go.

Not ruling anything out, but also not showing your hand is ultimately what it is, right, and they didn't necessarily do either one of those things. Throughout Isaiah, I know, you were listening to anything stick out to you. Yeah, I mean just sounds like I mean, you know your to your point, Rob. I mean, you can dive into

this as much as you as you want. But I think that this, the rhetoric than language around this press conference and leading up to this press conference, is kind of leading you to believe that Dallas is more willing to move around in this year's draft and draft and they have in recent years. And I'm not even sure if they're going after players. I don't I don't even know if that's I know a lot of people are

thinking about who's going to get drafted. I think that they're in I think Steven Jones actually kind of solidified it for me today when he started talking about how they're not done yet, free agency is not done. How players you know, obviously we know who's available in free agency, he said, not just the draft picks. But so that leads me to believe that they're looking at other guys that are possibly not being talked about, that are sitting

on other guys rosters right now. And I think that they're going to address that office in line, you know, the holes with some veterans in that regards. So when you start talking about draft picks and trading up or trading down, start thinking about players that can get traded along with those draft picks well traded, Like to your point, you know Robert Quinn trade happened. I think after the

draft a few years ago. Yep. And I think Stephen referencing generally speaking on the fan last week, that there's guys that will find themselves off of rosters a week or two from now based on what other teams do in the draft, when other teams do as far as filling needs, so like they're, yeah, they're open for business to keep adding heck, on top of they're trying to make play that like they're not relying on nine draft

picks or however many draft picks. It ends up being plus college free agency as the only way that they're going to get better or address needs between now a training camp now. Stephen is committed to not making any hasty decisions this offseason, and all of his decisions have

pretty much yelled that. But just looking off at all three of those guys sitting up there for the press conference, he was Mike McCarthy that I had a lot of my attention on and I thought it was interesting that Jerry made the point that in draft's past he's been all about everybody being all inclusive in it and having an opinion on it, and then talking about Mike and his experience with drafts being that this is really unfamiliar territory to him, being that in Green Bay, I believe

it's Ted Thompson, the gym that was there didn't allow the head coaches or any of those guys that have any input on the players that they brought in. So it really really kind of speaks to how new Mike McCarthy is at all of this as well, having input on players that he wants in the draft, and also having Dan Quinn here as well, being able to have that head coaching brain with his to match to be able to get through this process and bring those players

in that build your culture. You know, the guys that are locker room guys right now, there's you have the foundation of your team built, you think through your leadership, through your young players, but how can you bring guys in that are going to add to that? And I really think that a lot of this. I know people think that it's just gamesmanship, but I think they were really honest about their approaching what they're thinking about in this draft, because it's true. I mean, who's calling, what

offers are going to be out there? And if there's a guy that you covered on your board and you have an opportunity to go up and get them, I'm gonna go get them. But if I have four guys that have the same draft grade, I'm a trade back because I'll have an opportunity to get those guys later.

So I thought that was excellent. That's that's you're absolutely right, like they don't know what's gonna happen, they don't know who's gonna be there, they don't know who's gonna fall potentially, they don't know who's gonna call, you know, and and so that's that's a big part of it. And Jerry had a nice fishing I love a good fishing reference. He said, you know, we'll throw some chum out the chum, we'll see what's in the water. But you're right, like

they're they're not gonna know. They didn't know Michael Parsons was going to be sitting there at twelve when they traded back, or before they traded back, which gave them the opportunity to trade back, thinking, ah, well, we'll still be able to get him and pick up an extra pick.

So much of this is difficult because they're like, like you were just saying, thirty two teen thirty one, other teams doing the same thing that you're doing, and everyone has their draft board together depending on where you are from one to ten, right, And I think once we get through Thursday, the earlier part, and we see how the draft board is going to go, because something crazy

is going to happen. And the reason I say that, guys is because of COVID, because of the amount of players that are in this draft because of the COVID year. And Stephen even talked about guys that have six years of playing experience and how the middle of this draft is going to be so thick with those levels of players, And that's where that was useful information, really good stuff. Like I didn't expect them to say how many first round grades they've got on guys fourteen to sixteen. He

says he's less than normal. He said he also has more or top of the second round grades on players than he ever has been or ever has had in any other draft along the way, and that actually is in line with There was a report from Tom Pellicero with the NFL Network that there's a lot of teams that have a dozen maybe give or take a couple of picks or prospects with those first round grades, and

that's that is lower than usual. I mean, the Cowboys probably on average are twenty first round grades, I would say on a given year. So and Stephen said first second round kind of thin compared to past years. But the meat of this draft, the real depth would be

third through the fifth round. So that's like if you want to read the tea leaves and say, well, maybe that would depending on how the board falls, maybe that you're inclined to keep your picks and not trade up and make sure you've got a good volume of draft picks of draft capital to to you know, build on that depth. Yep, that's there instead of going up and getting a guy. But again, you don't know how it's

gonna fall. You don't know who they love. You don't know who they love that might be falling to the late teens or something like that where they're just like, damn it, we know we got this guy's rated so high. Like a ceedee lamp style, we're gonna go up and get him. Well, he just never know to go up

and get it. In Jerry, of course, having the fishing reference he was in a country moved today because he had a country music reference as well, saying, if that phone's not ringing, that's me calling, and that means if that thing isn't ringing, that means he's already on the other line, rolling and trying to make something happen, either trading back or trading forward to go get a guy. And if they only have the fourteen to sixteen first round grades on players, does that make you feel more?

Do you feel like it's more likely to go up and get a guy, or maybe hey, stay put to twenty four, see how the board falls, and then you trade back if it works out in your favor. In that regard, you know, I'm not a country music guy at all. I was confused. I thought you were all saying I didn't get that right. It's an old country music song ofinitely, yeah, like it's gotta be. I had no idea. I was like, what if it's the phone? I mean, man, I was lost, but anyway, I mean,

I just bars. It was just one of those deals. Where I was confused. But man, when you talk about the exactly about what you just mentioned before about the first round grades and having only fourteen guys where you would typically have twenty and you're at twenty four, what does that say that the guy you won't isn't gonna be there at twenty four? Possibly? And it just all depends on what they do with those first ten picks. I just believe that there's gonna be a team that

is going to reach on a player. Maybe it's Detroit, we talked about it last week. Maybe it's Detroit. Maybe it's Jacksonville. Maybe Jacksonville doesn't have the edge rusher as high up on their board as we think. Maybe the edge rusher from from Georgia isn't picked as high as we think as well. So there's gonna be so much that happens. But if you get to the point where the guy that you want is there for you and a team is willing to dance, you gotta do it.

Boom possible. What are you at? What would you either do, Isaiah, go up and get a guy, stay put or come from blank check this year? This year? Right now? What would you rather do? If I know the board has to fall as saying, generally, if there's an opportunity to go up there and get your office alignment and go grab them, go grab your office alignment. If you if you're not going to grab office alignment and trade your butt down and get some quality and get some draft picks.

The reason why, for the same reason Rogers said, there's the meat of this draft is not in those you know, in the second half of the first round. It's not it's not there, right, Everybody kind of has that same consensus that it's just not that deep at that in the in that first round takes twenty through sixty or

very very yeah. So being that there aren't that many guys that are just like yep, sure thing, sure thing, sure thing, Like it's gonna get crazy because of that, right, and everybody's grading and they're all the scouts, and everybody's gonna have their own speculations and what who's the best players? I think it's gonna get crazy. So if you have an opportunity to go grab your guy, if you don't have your guy, you have to trade out and you

you accumulate as many draft picks as you possibly. You take the New England Patriots approach, and you just you know, these guys are still accumulating picks before the dog on draft. I just saw these guys. I mean, that's what they do. You just horre draft picks. They traded a fifth round pick for a sixth and a seventh. Yeah, that's like all that's just the most Bill Belichick move of all times. Just trade one fifth for a six in and seven.

That's just because and that's what you do. I mean, look at Dallas has a third, fourth, fifth, fifth, fifth, fifth, sixth, yep. Just hold them, just hold them. And if you have that, then you're in a position to go out there and grab some guys that I can kind of come out here and compete. And you talked about they heard those guys talking about the versatility and how many how much guys can contribute. You know, it's not just hey, can you just play your position? Can you what else can

you do? On special teams? You need impact in multiple areas. That's where you're gonna get those guys at right, Yeah, you hold them or or maybe one or two your package like the Tyler Beotish thing. What a couple of that was fourth round, but a couple of years ago to move up a little bit to get you make sure you get your guy in those middle rounds. So I agree with you there for sure. Um so, but yeah, there,

but there is gamesmanship. I mean when Stephen said we don't have any muss in this draft, then yeah, yeah, maybe maybe they really look they haven't. They have not done a lot in free agency. So I and I said this last week. I mean, what we say, what we see about their roster, where there's a whole here, whole here, they don't maybe don't feel the same way.

But yeah, I think that's that's an example what I'm talking about where it's like, well, we're not going to tell you we really need here, here, here, the positions we've talked, everybody's talking to take your determined that that was a lot right, right, They're not gonna tip their hand and they're gonna give us some stuff, but not

not everything. I did think something that, going back to Heckmu's point, I really did feel like they were honest in a couple of different ways because it lines up with the way they've drafted in the past, and it kind of it's one of those where they're smoked, there's fire sort of deals and one of those is positional value over need and where it lines up in the draft.

And the question was asked to Stephen Jones, how much do you weigh need and best player available and back and forth, and he basically went down the line and said, if it's a similar grade on a prospect, then you might lean toward the need. Depending on where those prospects lie, you go to that need. That was encouraging me for me to hear, because you don't just go willie nilly

drafting the best player available a lot. You find a way to fit that into those holes that you have, even though there wasn't any must's quote unquote from Steven Jones, there's a lot of holes on this roster, and you're gonna see the early draft picks fall into those holes because there are needs in those specific positions. Yeah, it was laughable when he said that, Peek. I think everybody was kind of in the room saying, man, come on, now,

we know what you need. Must the must, right, But you're right, but he's got a need, yeah somewhere everybody for sure. Yeah. But but Kyle, what you're talking about, I think you're you're they hit the hit it right on the head with that, because you look at this offensive line. If there is an opportunity for you to go up and get a guy that you have in this book that you say, look, this is a this is a dog. You know, he's gonna be a fit guy. He comes right in and he's ready to play right now.

Why not do that? But if you have five or six of those guys, don't don't don't take reach. Don't reach because you don't have to, you know, And so much of this draft has been based off of best

player available. In all those philosophies that come into what you're gonna do with this this time period, we understand that this team is maybe one offensive lineman away from putting this thing back together, or maybe a linebacker away on defense, So that even with those even with those situations that you need, it's only going to take one

either through the draft or through free agency. Yeah, I'm really I think Dallas is in a position where they're hoping that the rest of the league is really kind of gravitating towards the flashy, big play type type of players. Hey man, I think Dallas is hoping that everybody gets caught on that, right kind of goes down the road of without the Rams and some of these other teams

in the Kansas Cities of the world. I hate get the big, the big, flashy player, like go go grab that guy, because Dallas needs to get back to their idea, to their identity. Okay, that's an interesting point because you you might think that that's what they should do. Is it actually what they're doing because they get as much so as the rest of the thirty two NFL teams, they could also get caught up on the flashy prospect. They love Drake London across the lay wide receiver out

of USC. They absolutely love the need though too. It is to a certain extent receivers top two needs in mind leading up to this draft. You're I think this year more than any year in recent history. I'm no historian in the NFL, but in terms of my history player, you're realizing that players are touchable. There's no there aren't many players in this league that are untouchable. I think that if there's ever been a year that you felt that in the NFL, I think this is probably the year.

So in terms of somebody have I got If I have my guy, heck him over there on the squad and he's one of the beasts on somebody else's team. I'm not afraid to ask, is he available this year? This year, I'm not afraid to ask. I'm not afraid. I'm gonna I'm gonna make that call, and I'm gonna throw that question out there. Win in recent years, I think, Man, I ain't eve gonna waste my time with that. This year, players are available, you know, guys are available. Guys that

are already proven are available. So that's what I'm saying. That everybody's looking at draft picks and I'm like, Okay, that's cool. Look at some of he's cassing are on rosters that you could say, hey, I got a couple of fifth rounders for you. What what you what? You want? What you want? You want to move this catter? No, he's not gonna sign back with you next year. You might as well go ahead and give him to us.

A great point. Nikki Minn has said this for years, and I agree they could maybe stand to do more of that that that. I've referenced the Robert Quinn trade a couple of years ago. That's a great trade. I mean, it has to work. It has to be a situation where Okay, he's not gonna be back, he doesn't fit in their new scheme, that kind of thing, And we don't know how involved they are with that. There are reports. I talked about it last week. You know, Brandon Cooks

was a guy that they reportedly called about. Um, I'm missing Anne, Yeah, Okdarius tell yeah. But there there are reports they've called on a couple of guys. I'm missing the other guy, Brandon Cooks and DeVante Parker was another guy that they were rumored to be linked to. We don't know how involved they are with that. I think

that is that is another route position. But then you see something happened immediately after that rumor, and you think about what's happening today with the rumor and then the window between Green Bay and possibly the Vegas Race exactly. So I mean, this is this There's something too what you just said, and so making that call and saying that, But I want to go back to something else you said about players that now the flashy pick what team is gonna make that mistake? And I've always met I

call him the Valentine's Day guys. The guys you started hearing about on Valentine's Day. All of a sudden, this guy becomes a name you know, and you hadn't heard anything from it before. He has a super agent, and all of a sudden, this kid is bigger than life. And I'm like, I know, I watch a lot of football. I don't remember your name. Jermaine Johnson's one of those you know, Florida Sutton. Nobody knew who he was. Then he goes to the senior Valentine's Day guy blowing up. Yeah, hey,

now he's a top fifteen pick in the draft. Combine always helps with that too, Combine guys, I mean DeVante Wyatt's and I mean you can talk about some of these receivers in that regard as well. It happens every single year. Now Wyatt is a kid from Georgia. Yeah, now he's a baller. Yeah, Andy and Jordan Davis, and they're interchangeable. They're both ballers. If you play for Georgia, you probably probably say with Bamaeah, it all works out, Okay.

Trent McDuffie's just a total gadget player, not a very not very big on Kyler Gordon say that about George Davis, Reagan Stock capital day. For all right, let's take our first break. When we come back, we continue looking ahead. What are some sneaky positions of need for the cowboys that they need to address come draft weekend when we returned with more talking cowboys.

For more details, visit Dallas cowboys dot com slash Draft back. You were on Talking Cowboys and out my draft show Polo with the Miller Lite logo in the back. I got it, got it upstairs, got a big box. I'm pumped out a mock draft today. I hear we heard part of it. You want to

hear how it went? Go for it? Okay, so Arnold Ebba Katie was the pick at number twenty four out of Penn State edge rusher, but it was Kansas City that made that pick because we traded down to pick number twenty nine. We picked up one twenty one and a seventh round pick who we later used on Cade York, and we took Kenyon Green at number twenty nine, offensive guard out of Texas. So we traded back, traded back, went from twenty four to twenty nine and made that

work from there. So that's how we ended up working. Hey, it's a it's not a bad thing to think of crazy things. As Jerry Jones likes to say, it's my favorite line. I'm gonna use that all week long. I'm telling you right now, all right, let's take a look at some positional sneaky needs. Dollar sign quote? He had what was that one? The dollar sign quote? It has anything to do with a dollar sign and then it

comes and it comes through me. I decide, and if it comes in and if it goes out, I'm responsible. That's exactly what he's say. You're Jerry Jones impression. Yes it is. It's pretty good. Actually, there you go, all right under the radar draft needs. How crucial is it for the Cowboys to find some depth at these positions. I'm gonna start with HECKM. Harrison on this one because I know you feel some sort of way about this

linebacker position. How important is it? Because if you look up against maybe edge rusher, wide receiver, offensive line, it may not be the top need in the draft, but it's pretty crucial that the Cowboys come out with at least one linebacker at some point. But where do you see them going to a linebacker first? So let's just say we have Lvee, Luca Gifford, Michael Parsons, and Jabril Cox and DeVante Bond. Those are high linebackers right now.

We obviously know that we're gonna move Michael parsons around. Jabril Cox is coming off of the ACL, so that a lot of question marks around that. But we are really light at the position we should have. We could have gotten a baller. We didn't go out and get that guy. He ended up going to the Rams. However, in this draft you have an opportunity to go out and get a guy, and I believe in Nakobe Dean

would be the guy that I would be going. He's really just a quintessential linebacker and you need a dude in the middle to hold it down. And just the linebacker and position in general has changed because you want your linebacker to be able to carry tight ends and also cover running backs on the hash marks. So it's not just like back in the day you know thick neck, big neck, brac and all that, and you just in the A and B gap the whole time of those

you do you do exactly. You do have one of those, and I think that's another guy that's gonna be a little bit better in Dan Quinn's system. But when you have when you have the kind of speed that's out there at the linebacker position, you need a guy to be able to do that. In Dan Quinn's defense because

he asked a lot of his linebackers. Now, I know y'all talked about this a little bit last week as well when I was out, But you're okay spending a first round pick on linebacker over offensive line or is this just if you're wiped out at offensive line and there's other needs out there? So I was just going back to what Isaiah was saying earlier, and he's saying that, Look, you know you need an offensive lineman, but I don't have these offensive linemen as high up as a lot

of other people do, especially the guard. I'm not even looking at tackle because if I get a tackle and Tyron Smith can play, oh he playing, Tyren Smith playing, and Terren Steele has already proved, you've gotten rid of guys to have Terren Steel. So that's why I feel like Zion Johnson and Green. I just feel like they're in a situation because there aren't a lot of quarterbacks in this draft that they've benefited from that, and that's why teams are jumping out of the cake to get

them in the first round. I think with the third and fourth round you can still get quality offensive linemen. I know people don't think that you can, but because of the development in college, you may be able to

do that. That's all I'm saying. So back to what Jerry said, if I could get a Michael Parsons, I'm not calling the Kobe Dan Michael Parsons, but I'm saying the way that he feels that gap for you on defense, you could definitely get you a stud from for the future and also be able to satisfy some of your needs on the offensive line in the second and third round. I have the Kobe Dean ahead of Devin Lloyd as well on my board, but Devin Lloyd seems like he may be more of a fit from a size standpoint

and a player standpoint. Six foot two, two hundred and thirty seven pounds for Devin Lloyd out of Utah as opposed to the Kobe Dean who's five eleven. How much does that play into your factor? If you're in that room talking with Dan Quinn and he's standing on the table for a linebacker. Kid, When you evaluated Lloyd, did you think that he was kind of Michael Parson ish the way that they Yeah, I mean I just saw a similarity Michael Parson. No, No, let's not get I'm

talking about scheme. I'm talking about scheme the way that they use. He does. He does a lot of those things. Yeaht of them. I love that. Yeah, I love I love it too. But I already I already have one of those, and I already have a tank. And what I need is a real linebacker. I need a guy that I can say, when they come out with this read option offense, that my linebacker can cover and do all of the heavy things that I need my linebacker

to do. I mean, this kid is talented. I mean, you just gotta flip a coin now, you can't go wrong either way. So, heck is okay going the first round? I already got a tank. I already got a bazook guy. Are you okay? First round? Like? Heck to the NOA NOA no, because this team is never going to get past where they went this year unless they can move the ball. That's just facts. Jordan Davis is not going to be available to you, all right. You don't know

that he's not going to be available. You don't know he go he works for everybody's team. Okay, So there's no, no, there's no okay, doesn't work for our steam. You go ahead, you wet dream. He's not gonna be there. So that's one guy that you can. You would trade away a lot of picks to go grab that guy. He's not gonna be there, Okay, win at fourteen to the ravens in our see him going that low? I mean maybe he will, but I don't. I just don't see it

happening because because he fits everywhere. Devonte Wire by the way went nineteen to the same A man, A man can wet dream. You can. You need an old lineman? Need need I don't care what missus Stephen Jones said, you need an old lineman. Now do you reach and go get online? You don't reach for it, right, but you also can't expect it to fall to you. So if you have to move up and grab him, six seven picks more than you know, higher than what you

wanted to secure the bag. Because guess what inventory is low right now, there's a lot of stuff sitting out there the middle of the ocean. You might have to pay a couple more dollars to go out there and grab something that you need. So you need to go grab that guy if he's around. I agree with you because philosophy agree that you can. Our defense played amazing this year. Yeah, they played well, they played amazing this

past year, and it still didn't get you anywhere. So if you because you didn't run the ball, because you can throw the ball the way in which you wanted to. So everything always reverts back to, I know, defense wins championships with guess what offense gets you past the first round? Isn't crazy how much things can flip in a year because last year Isaiah was standing on the table saying, get defense, get defense, defense, and the offense is going

to figure it out. And now this year it's vice versa. Now you said Valentine's Day when he mentioned the guards, do you think do you consider those guys you're Valentine's Day guards where they haven't Because I think Kenyan Green was at some point in this draft process, very early on, was thought as a top fifteen pick. He wasn't even thought about being available at twenty four. He has since

slipped a little bit. Maybe that's because of guys elevating and because of some of those Valentine's Day guys that are just kind of working's favor. But my whole thing is is does this fit the scheme? I think he's a zone guy. I think he can definitely do a lot of those things. Um, look, inline blocking, I'm looking forward. What you're talking about? Can the guy fire off? Is

he doing all of those things? I saw Green move around a lot, so when tackle guard all of that and of necessity last year, right and and and I'm not and I'm not that's that's not then any dirt on him. I'm just basically saying the grade that they're giving him and the kid from ball. I just don't

see Zion Johnson how they're going that high. I think if any other any draft that you have and you have the right mixture of playmakers and all that, these are guys that are late late first early second round guys. And that's why I feel like it to your philosophy and your point, if I can trade back or I can get trade up in the second round and get a guy like that, I do it. I have the picks in the fourth we we got nine picks. We got nine picks, so it's not if we can go

up and get into Kobe Dean. He's a game changer, he's a playmaker. Get that. That's for your future. But this guard stuff, I mean, come on, man, they I believe there's plenty of those guys in this draft. That's all I'm saying. But your philosophy is right. If you want to move the ball, if you want to be able to pass the ball, you better have a damn

offensive line to get it done. Yeah, Isaiah, And I gotta roll with Isaiah on this one because I that's how I felt the whole way based on the last game that we saw, Dak wasn't protected enough and they could run the ball the last quarter at least of the season, last half of the season, probably half. Yeah, And I just feel like if you've and yeah, you don't want to reach because best player variable has worked out well for them the last two years in the

first round, absolutely Ceede. Lamb has been a very good player. They're expecting him to develop into a great player, multi Pro Bowls type of receiver. You know, Mica transform your defense in one year. You know, I didn't even play his last year at college, so BPA has worked out for them. But I do lean towards offensive line and finding one early because you you would like to have a walk in starter, check that box. And add some strength and some some size upfront to help Tyler Beardish

at center ideally. So it's crazy. You know that that kid you were talking about Lyndstrom, and I just kind of like that Alec Lindstrom. Yeah, from my round. Oh no, Linderm. I've been calling so many names, Lindam of them. Yeah, Dbaum, I went watched him. He is a dog, dude. I'm telling you, he is a Put him on the field right now. He can go player, right there's no that wouldn't be a reach if you got him, you know, and I've been against it, but then you're watching exactly

what you're talking about. Can we get a guy that can play? But that still doesn't help us with our guard position. We need a guard especially. No one is counting on kind of MC government to be that guy right now. I don't think we're confident in there. I absolutely love like your whole thought process here, because at this point in the draft process it feels like Cowboys fans and I mean we're all guilty of this too, being draft analysts, we're kind of pigeon holing offensive guards

the pick at twenty four. That's not necessarily the case. There's so many different ways you could go. And a linebacker with Devin Lloyd and and Kobe Dean both being there, are certainly going to be in the conversation. They were both available for that mock draft earlier today, not only at twenty four, but then they were both gone by the time we picked at twenty nine. So I mean it's a conversation to be had about the linebacker spot

because you're not set there for the future either. No, you bring up that's a that's a great point because I go back to two years ago, nobody thought they should take a receiver in the first round. Really linebacker either. I mean, corner was the position, and if and if either JC Horn or Certan had been there, I think that would have been would have worked out just fine for the Cowboys. But you're right, like they could wind up doing something none of us expected. I'm just when

I do these mock drafts. I mean, we got one more coming this week, and a couple of weeks ago we had ours on the website. I'm basic. I'm basic with my mocks. I just go down and based off of needs. That's my style. Okay, guarded Russia wide receiver, you want it, you asked about underrated needs, I would put tight end in that in that group. Give me that's fourth round, kind of a Schultze area. That's where they got him, you know, to add to that depth

like that's where I go. But but you're right, like they can go in a lot of different directions. I do want to hit some of those other under the radar needs. We've got about like eight or nine minutes until we hit that second break. What about running back? How late or how early do you take a running back? Isaiah? Because Tony Pollard's not a guarantee after twenty twenty two, technically, neither is Ezekiel Elliott moving forward after this season, you

might have some question marks at running back? Do you take one? Where? Where do you take one? Where would you feel comfortable? Fifth in the fifth? Okay, that's a realistic cancer. Where would you feel right? It would be way later than that. I mean, we took one in the fifth today. We took Brian Robinson Junior out of Alabama. Good player, tough runner, all around back, can catch out of the backfield. He gonna play special teams. Yeah, I keep hearing his DN talk. Okay, I don't know, I

don't want to switch it up on you. I keep hearing his DN talk a lot. That's pretty much a specific need. I don't. I don't feel that necessity. I don't. I don't. I don't know what Dante Fowler Junior and Dorance Armstre I'm comfortable with DQ having talent to utilize and be able to move around. I'm very confident in

Dcu's ability to be able to skiing things up. As long as you have talented guys that have a freaking engine, That's what I'm That's what I'm confident in, And I think having there aren't that many mano imano, I'm gonna beat you down, I'm gonna win every single time type of guys in this league. There just aren't that many guys at that position anymore. And so I don't feel the necessity even I mean even obviously we were lost RG like, I don't. I didn't see him as that guy.

I saw him as a guy that can when he when you really needed him to, when you really need him be like when he was pissed off. Like when he was pissed off, Oh he'll get off in your tail now. But he needed to be pissed off right. So I agree with what Jerry said today in terms of I'd rather have two guys and said it at one guy there. How many of those guys are there really in this league that you're just fearful when your

tackle lines up across from him? Well, they they, I mean, they thought Randy was coming back, like they had that deal yea almost done done. They wanted him back. I mean, and I I hear you. I mean and and I'm with you. I mean, gan Quinn found a way, Hey, Michael part since week two go play edge rusher. That worked out pretty well. He knows his player's talent. So

I'm with you there. I just I wish we could have seen more snaps than the handful of snaps we saw of Tank, Randy, Gregory and Mica on the field together. That was I mean, to me, it's not the same thing, but it's almost like I wish we could have seen

Kyrie Kde together. I'm just saying Ben Simmons stop next year, but but that's I do think Randy showed enough flashes of being kind of just that game wrecker and and they could use another edge rusher in this draft, in my opinion, to help Washington against But I mean, but it was. But to get that guy. History shows you got a draft and edge rusher early to get that guy. We referenced Tacco earlier. Tacco is a first round draft pick l overall that didn't work out because if you're great,

if you're Micah Parsons, you're gonna go early. I'm I don't know, man, I'm more of a maybe I'm just a boring GM you are, But I want to I want to control. Where's the game control? Because your old school in your approach. Listen here, man, where is the game control? It's a line of scrimmage, line of freaking scrimmage, without a doubt. If you own the d line, if you own the offensive line, you always have a shot. Always. Where did the Cowboys struggle this pass? Freaking in the trenches?

But you're not worried about that though, Well, I'm not worried about the ends. Control the middle, right, I have speed at the at Michael Parsons, it, d Law and all these guys. I got speed on the chance. Your point, though, is no, no, no, no. If you're going to grab a defensive player, right, it needs to be an interior defensive Linement. That's a complete doll. Okay, and I don't think that dog is gonna be there, or let's play,

let's play for tend here for a little bit. Then Cavon Thibodeau somehow falls to fifteen cowboys are gonna trade up. But also Jordan Davis is available. I'm going to get Jordan Davis. You're not gonna get Cavon Thibodeau. Who has a chance to fall, has a chance to slip a little. I want to get Jordan Davis. Wow, because without hesitation, without hesitation, if I have a shot, if somehow, some way he's sitting around it, I am. I'm signing off on trade up and get him. Aidan Hutchinson, I don't

know enough about Jordan Davis. I don't I like Jordan Jordan Davis. Will he will clog it up. Listen here, both guys, hey first pick in the draft. Baby wipes, non disposable baby wipes. Okay, Jordan Davis clogging it up. That will clogging, that will happen, Non biodegradable, that's for sure. He's clogging it up for your future. Okay, just know that two different types of baby wipes out here is biodegradable, and there's not. Kay, he is the not non biodegradable.

What he is gonna clog it up? I'm looking and guess what. Guess guess and guess what If they decide to go outside because he's in there clogging it up, he is gonna have the go juice to also join the party along with Michael Parson's Curse and the rest of the cats, which do what am I doing? You are putting sprinkles on my ice cream? Okay, but I'm talking to him. Damn, I apologize, I'm talking to him down. Don't listen to the shot. It's eleven on eleven and

you got one guy that's taking up three guys. I mean, hey, I'm not good at math, but come on, I'm okay signing off. I'm moving up to get him. But this defensive in talk, I'm just I'm not on board with it. I'm personally not like. I like your thoughts process, but I still think you're out of your mind without with putting Jordan Davis on basically the number one spot. Well, if you do that, though, if you trade it up to get a clog guy, the way to go got

through because you're not getting your guard. You're not getting there. That's what I'm saying. There's only two people that I'm going up to, two positions I'm going up to trade for. It doesn't even its JD right, I need big dogs, okay off top or I need it. I'm close enough

right within. If I'm obviously we're sitting at twenty four and we're down the say sixteen seventeen, and that guard is sitting there, and I'm looking at the other team's needs ahead of me, I'm like, you're probably not have to drive, You're probably not gonna have to draft the guard tight. I'm not. I'mably gonna be what I'm saying. But if there's if there's that guy, if there's that guard that you're like, hey, I can't miss on this and something, and you're hearing something that he's five six

picks away, I go secure the bag. I don't know if they go secure to back. I know, I know it's whole speculation everything we're talking about, but I'd rather I'd rather go secure that bag than the hope that it falls down to me. Right when you're in that position and you have a need, Mister Stephen Jones, Okay, you have a need, you go and you see you've sealed the deal, and then you worry about the rest of it because guess what, there's plenty of other depth

in this particular into draft. Yeah, I would, I would trade back before I would trade up. And that's not having a clue what your board is gonna look like, what's available, who's affordable to you at that point. But I just and maybe I'm just thinking of and you guys did that this morning, but what they said about if they really feel like third through three through five, it's deep. You only have three top one hundred picks

in this draft. You're gonna give up one to move up, and then you only have your I don't know your third round pick left, or instead of trading back and you can get two threes, you keep your your two and now you're if you hit on guys, now, now

you're building some depth there. Well, that's what I'm talking about in terms of hitting him, in terms when you know that there's that's your guy, like that's your car, right, that's right, you can't miss fourteen or is one of the fourteen to sixteen guys he's within grasp, don't freaking let it go through your fingers. Okay, don't let him be saying close the dog on fingers. Go grab that dog on thing and bring them into your or to your team because you need him. You need him in

order for your team to be effective. You know, that's your guy. Those those that's the two positions that I'm saying in this first round that you go and you grab if you're going to make a move like that, that doesn't require you going to sealing somebody from an existing team. Let's say there's two options only for the Cowboys, either trade up or trade down. I would put trading down as an eighty twenty possibility over the fact of maybe trading up after the first round, though I think

that nearly flipp flips. It'd probably be seventy five twenty five to go back up after the first round is over, just based off of the things we're hearing and basically the needs for the Cowboys and where they could fit moving forward. You mean trade back into the first trade up, in the second trade up, in the third trade up, in the fourth, something like that along the way. I think it's more likely they go up in the later rounds,

but down in the first round. I like what you said, Rob, because I think the value add in any draft, especially if you can be smart and make those middle of the round, middle round picks, is better for you as a football team. We've seen the Patriots be able to do things like that, and there's continuously doing it. But I think the back to what you were saying, Isaiah, with the ass rushers, I just think the NFL, those are the highlight positions. Who's making the most money the

ads rushings? Why do they make the most money because they are putting pressure on the quarterback. Tj Y. I mean, is a guy you could give me twenty sacks and you can control the line of scrimmage. Pittsburgh still has what it takes core nucleus to make a move. All they need now is a quarterback to make that thing go. So you know, for us, that's why I tank and Micah.

You have those edge rushers, the guys that you could put out there get after it and if you can bring in another guy or you have a guy like that already on your team, that bash them armstrong and and think about those guys is every last one of them are rotational guys. Dan Quinn is bringing these guys in and out. And if you have that power, that's why the top of this draft you see guys like Aidan Hutchinson, you see guys like Walker because teams need to threaten you by having a pass rush to get

out of you. So and by the way, you mentioned t J. Watt every time. Every year around this time, it just feels like it just turns a little no. No, you gotta live with that. You gotta slip in that bed real quickly, super quickly. Any thought to drafting backup quarterback on Day three anywhere? Potentially Kellen Moore was in Iowa State, maybe looking at Brock Purdy as like a late round guy and he boughts there, feel good with will greuse your backup? Cooper Rush as your backup? Yeah,

I'm all about competition at the quarterback. Okay, that's all we need to tell you. All Right, when we come back, we're gonna give our first round predictions for the Cowboys, and we're gonna give a bold NFL draft prediction. What's going to happen around the league.

That will be Rob p Let's go, all right, Isaiah stand back, heck my Harrison, Rob p Island himself, Rob Phillips, and Kyle Yeoman's Chris Beam in the back is always glad you're with us.

I'm talking cowboys. It's time to make some predictions, y'all, and I want to start with bold NFL predictions. This does not have to do with the Cowboys. It can be literally anything else happening in the NFL Draft or at least on Draft weekend. It can involve current players, involves current picks, involved anything along the way, but not Cowboys related. And it's a bold predictions. Something crazy it's not a bad thing to think about crazy things. Rob.

I'm gonna start with us with that love that quote God I'm living by. I'm gonna put it on an think differently. I was gonna say, you're about to be stable. I got a stable married man. I got another year. We're fine. Let's get all right. Is there a date that we haven't heard about? You? There is? You want to announce it? If I did, I did put a date on it, May seventh of twenty twenty three, Big date, May seventh, May seventh, Baby. Yeah, all right, Rob, we're

gonna start with you. Bold predictions on NFL Draft weekend for the league, for the league. Okay, we talked about trading back. I don't know what the record is, but I'll say a let's say five teams trade back in the first round because they just don't like the depth in the opening round five. There was a reporter around that earlier that teams are looking to vacate their draft area, right, Pelli sero, Peli sero? So he he report? Did it?

Do you have any teams that look like they would do something like that, like anybody in mind that you would think would be totally in for that, not necessarily, just maybe just from the perspective of what we talked about. The grades, however, well, I will say Cowboys picked twenty four. I would venture to say most drafts they don't have twenty four first round grades in a given year anyway, So um, it doesn't mean they have Oh we got a trade up to get a guy, but it's it's

a possibility, right, Cassability. Let's see, let's let's just get crazy. Let's get a bunch of teams trade back, trading back. Do you guys have a team that you think would vacate? He just threw the whole blew the whole thing out of the water. He just came with a whole historical fact. I mean I was thinking, like, yeah, prediction something simply I don't know what the record, the archive, what the record is, but I bet I bet that would be a record. I just feel like the Jets, because they

have so many first round picks. I think they have three first round picks, that they are the team that probably are going to get the most calls and then probably the most likely to allow a team to trade up. And I think if I'm looking at teams New Orleans is a team that's going to try and do get a splash pick and it may be a quarterback there, Yeah, to go up. And that's that's my only that's my or. And I guess the second one would be Green Bay

does something crazy because they gotta get Aaron Rodgerson weapons. Okay, yeah, it's it's not a typical trade up because you got to get a quarterback draft, I don't think unless there's teams that are just in love with a certain prospect, but it's not. It's not the class where five quarterbacks to go in the first twelve picks, you know, where teams are willing to trade up to do that. Okay, that's what makes this That's what makes this first round

a little weird, Isaiah. What's your bold prediction of happening this weekend? I see multiple star players for teams getting traded. Okay, that's what that's what I see. Um. I don't know if we can say particular names or not, but I mean you're making a bold prediction. It's not like you know anything got you. Okay, So, like like I say, Kwon Barkley, I think I think he gets traded. Oh yeah, I think there's gonna be some big names like that

that get moved around. Guys that are kind of disgruntled with their organizations that chances are they're probably not going to sign back the following year. I think those guys get moved around. Okay, I've got a specific one that's kind of right up that alley. Okay, how about Baker Mayfield. And you're gonna love this. Baker Mayfield. It's gonna be

a Seattle Seahawk. By the end of the weekend. Seattle's gonna trade their forty first overall pick to Cleveland because Cleveland does not have a first round pick, They're gonna take their second. Because Seattle picks back to back in the second round, they pick forty and forty one, They're gonna ship one of those picks to Cleveland for Baker Mayfield and he will be your quarterback. There's there's a great move in I see. I agree. I'm making this

up as I go. So if there's anything back behind that, I think there's a high probably the fact that he hasn't gone anywhere yet. Yeah, and they don't have a pick that they're gonna use on a quarterback either, So that's why I chose. Yeah, there's a high problem. That's my bold prediction that he's gonna be You heard something, Can I confirm nordction? Oh wait, I'm on this. Let's go. The rumors are happening already. And you know what. I feel bad for Baker, I really do. I don't like

the way that Baker got done. I mean, they gave they gave Deshaun Watson a twenty three million, two hundred and thirty six million dollars guaranteed contract. But I understand on the roster, I understand the thoughts process of Deshaun Watson over Baker Mayfield. But they did kind of do Baker dirty in the fact that he took them to a playoff appearance for the first time and god knows alcohol business man, and then they immediately turned on him.

He had injuries. They put him out there injured all year long. He played through it, tough through it, and then he's just I know, but here you laughed at him. They don't back in. Heck up, they don't feel bad for Baker too. You're on the team, you're asking for a contract, and then something happened where another guy comes free and you signed him for a guaranteed contract. Why you're still on the roster. First of all, the speculation

took place. Second of all, they said oh no, no, no, no. Once once Watson said that he wasn't going there anymore, he was like, oh you're come on back guy, Oh he's available. All yeah, get going gone, get gonna get and welcome to the NFL. Now that's cold. I ain't no matter how you look at all the fans out there there are wondering why guys are trying to get their guaranteed money. Boom boom, there you go. I'm back. I won't Baker to get some get back, but he will.

You know, that's that guaranteed portion. Boy. I was like, god, t th Wow, that's that's interesting man. All right, what's your bold prediction? Heck I made it? What was I wasn't move up? I said, Green Bay get to New Orleans. I didn't know. I thought you were just kind of adding on. No, that's I think that's a bold as bold as you can get. Is moving up. Seattle's moving up. I think New Orleans would move up with the Jets to try and secure a quarterback. I think that's what

they're in, which quarterback for some reason. I think they like Kenny Pickens pick it from Pittsburgh. But it wouldn't surprise me if they got Malik Willis. It really wouldn't. And teams he's he's I wouldn't call him a Valentine's Day guy, all right, I'm not calling him that. No. We knew about him when we called the little about the number one quarterback on the board at that point, and we were like, all right, cool, like the old

miss quarterback. There's just a lot of quarterbacks that I think, all of a sudden, they're saying that these guys are a big deal and I just don't feel that way. And this team start to get desperate, a move will be made, and I just I just feel like that's going to happen on Draft Day. Yeah, Okay, Now it's prediction time for the Dallas Cowboys. You are the GM, you are making the pick. You're making the call. What are the Cowboys going to do on Night one? At

the twenty fourth overall pick. We'll start with Isaiah on this one since we started with rob Blast and I'm off for you. Nobody does. That's what's fun. It's fun about it making prediction. Who you got Cowboys with the twenty fourth overall picks selects. M hm, select, I don't know what's the guard I was talking about the a un boy Kenyon. There you go, Kenyan, Texas, take care of a need. You're gonna plant the story today, planting it. But hey, are you moving up or staying put? Or

moving down? Or I think you're staying put? Okay, sorry, I'm planting the story. Planting the story. Jordan Davis falls no off the table man. He's just a two down player. I just don't think he's got a lot of gator ate. We got a lot of sadium, right, I'm trying to plant the story. Sorry, Now he's he's a really good player, but hey, he's just not that good of a player to go on the top pick. I think he's undraftable in the top twenty three. That's that's what my thought.

I undraftable in the top twenty three picks. I think that's that's about it. Yeah, hitching his GIDEO goal with it? All Right, So your prediction is Jordan Davis. I'm gonna go with Isaiah. I think it's Kenyon Green out of Texas, A and m Offensive Lineman. You get your guard, plug and play. He's gonna put you forward and he's gonna help out Dak Prescott, especially on the web site of the Linus Crimmage. I mean that was my pick two

weeks ago. Gig him, you know, and because it's yeah, yeah, I said, Rob like this, but I also like and I don't know if he really projects as a potential starting tackle in the NFL, more of a guard, but he did play it. I like the position flex to where if you were in a bind, maybe he could play that position as well. And I'll just say they

stay put very well. Could move back or up, I guess, but they have not moved back since Travis Frederick I believe in twenty thirteen, and they haven't moved up since like Mo Clayborne in twenty twelve. Usually they sit and pick. Now maybe this is well. They moved back last year technically, Okay, you're right, they did take a couple of spots, but um, this is a weird This is a weird first round, so so maybe there's going to be more movement this year.

A question, who's your pick? Real quick? Sorry, Kenny green Ken, Yeah, yeah, yeah, A question for you, what's the one pick that you guys think Dallas could make What position do you think that Dallas would take that will make you throw your your clipboard and your pencil across the room if they did it, if you're mad. Did you just just in the first round, Yeah, Bernard Ryman out of Central Michigan

offensive tackle. I like Bernard Ryman kind project player, right because he hadn't played a lot of football, and he won't play immediately either. It's kind of what Heckmo was talking about until Tyrn gets hurt at some point throughout the season, which is very likely, then he would play just just position. You say, so, offensive tackle, you would throw your clipboard across the room. No, I thought you were saying specifically. No, No, just justsition position. Oh, I mean,

I'm gonna say wide receiver, I would throw. I would run out the window. Really, I'm out there because because you know, because it's deep. Because that's that's one thing Mike McCarthy allowed, is that this is a deep wide receiver. Driver. You can wait potentially for that pack. You can you can get a starter wide receiver in the first round or the second round. You can say the same thing

for guard two though. So I'm not necessarily there. So Dallas took a receiver at twenty four, you're not pissed, no, wow, because because they have not finished addressing that position. I don't think. Yeah, I agree, it's still a wide open need. I'm not as crazy as taking a QB or something, right, you know, that's the offensive tackle we would be law. Linebacker would be lower. I'm okay with a linebacker, especially if it's Dean or Lloyd. Those are both really really

good players. I'm on the other side with this. With these wide receivers, man, I just don't think that a lot of did a few of them that can come in and play. The Burke kid from Arkansas I think is going to be phenomenal. But after that, the Alabama guy that has the ACL, I think it's a Williams. I think he's going to be phenomenal. But every other all the rest of those guys are project guys, Valentine'sday guys. To me, That's just how I feel about them. I

think they've had some numbers. I just don't they don't have the dogs that I'm used to saying, like, hey this the CD Lambs, the kind of guys that you're like, oh oh, he put the tape out there. We know what he can do. I just don't see any of those guys in this draft. I think there's five of them. Okay, you're saying position, throw your clipboard within reason, like they're not gonna take a QB and I gonna take a kicker throwing my footboard across the room. But they dropped

the receiver from the first round. I'm livid. I would be livid. Oh, I can't wait till they picked. But but, but but you you hated more than anybody, you hate more than anybody on this show. You hated that Amari's not here and feel like they haven't really addressed it. So I know you don't feel like they're good there. No, So it's first round pick. Yeah, first round pick. Though on a receiver with all the knees that you have,

it's a lot I'm living. But it's a top it's a top two need right, No, arguably, no, not not that early. You can when you do it, you can put a tick on that tell in the first round. You can have it. You have all the skilled position you want to. But if you can't move the dog on the ball, I agree, I still want off the same same boat on you better secure the upfront. I'm keeping notes on this one. Just wait till next week

because he's gonna switch this up. Chris Waba is gonna be across the hall and Isaiah's gonna be like, man, he's a faller because you all about wide open offense and that you're talking about we miss any there's five there's five guys that don't sub out the game. Indeed, Corner and the right guy? Are we running in the Star for college? He not? He not? No more? Who? Yeah? Come on? Who would I run for? Come on? Um? Probably Trayvon Walker, But I don't. I don't think that's happening.

So if they get David, I'm running to the Star from my house, I'll say it's on that. Chris said, there is, That's it there, it is. It's all we needed. By the way, Chris, you you do as much draft research as anybody else in this room too. Who is your prediction for the Cowboys? What? Um? You know? I ain't messing with that. I'm gonna take the guard, sorry, can you or Zion? It's just it's like quarter, It's the It's the most obvious thing they haven't done that's

why it's not gonna happen because your Davis here. I think I think Green can ultimately help he can't. Does that make sense? Yeah? Yes, I agree. Like if you whatever you see and be honest, you're like, oh man, we need to get a center. I think he could help that America. You just gotta Does that make sense from Chris Bean? Yes, Oh, next week we're gonna have either Jordan Davis and a very fit Isaiah, or we're gonna have Chris Olave and a very upset Isaiah, or

and we're gonna have a very happy Isaiah. We'll figure it out next week Tuesday, NA or No. Eleven am Central Time, as we're back at the normal slot. But that does it for us this week on Talking Cowboys for Chris Beam, Rob Phillips isis danback? Heck Myharrison, I'm Kyle Yeoman. See you next week, Go Cowboys on Draft Week from the Star in Frisco.
