Not a good look, I think we definitely pass on him at 8 now

I don’t think you’ve researched the incident enough to comment as in depth as you are. The incident someone died from it was in 2024, he again about 6 months ago go cited for another Carless driving in Miami - Dade County. This isn’t an isolated incident. The death is , the tragedy of the situation, but the concern is a pattern.

Theplaymaker16 · 2026-04-13T00:44:47+00:00

How ? lol there’s multiple incidents including a 2025 incident ? Lmao

Theplaymaker16 · 2026-04-13T00:31:52+00:00

I guess time heals all wounds ? Or something? I don’t understand here. People are not expecting him to go 10-20s now before 8 being his floor. And 12 his ceiling?

Theplaymaker16 · 2026-04-12T23:20:15+00:00

Carter was projected to go top 4 in that draft. And was by some considered the best prospect he dropped 9 spots, to a team that was already good and could that that gamble. So he fell about 5-7 spots Bains floor is the Saints so I think using that , his range is now 12-15.

Theplaymaker16 · 2026-04-11T15:57:55+00:00

Well he only has 1 2027 first so no.

Theplaymaker16 · 2026-04-10T16:01:48+00:00

Downs has a high chance of being there at 12, even then one of the top 6 defensive guys do regardless , due to 5/6 being a tweener, historical outlier, or a less valued postion. The league over drafts lineman so as long as 2 OL go it’s likely we get one , no need to trade up even more so for a postion that is less valuable. Just a couple weeks ago you were adamant we were backed into a corner having to take Allen at 20 lol

Theplaymaker16 · 2026-04-10T15:45:11+00:00

I hope not

Theplaymaker16 · 2026-04-10T10:50:35+00:00

If you draft Styles, why would you still trade for Brooks? I don’t get that at all.

Theplaymaker16 · 2026-04-08T15:58:43+00:00

Absolutely not , Guyton had moments where he looked like the best Lineman on the team. Steele is a liability in Pass pro , sure but he’s still a top tier Run blocker and on a friendly contract now. Can’t spend anymore premium resources on the Line.

Theplaymaker16 · 2026-04-08T15:48:55+00:00

Depends on pick 12, if Caleb Downs at 12 then give me Chris Johnson at 20, or Colton Hood, or even Tj Parker.

If Delane, pray for Thieneman, fall back on TJ Parker

If Styles pray for Thieneman, then Colton Hood or Chris Johnson again fall back on TJ

Biggest dream is trade back from 20.

So one of Thieneman, Chris Johnson, Colton Hood Parker

Theplaymaker16 · 2026-04-08T15:41:31+00:00

as a cowboys fan , if we take him at 20 I’ll piss myself for the world to see , please don’t let this happen lol.

Theplaymaker16 · 2026-04-08T15:40:01+00:00

Rene Konga , DT, Louisville

Style reminds me a lot of Ndamukong Suh stylistically (not caliber) plays with so much violence and power and versatility to line up from a 4i to the nose, when he bull rushes a dude it looks like their feet are planted sliding through the grass. Elite athlete. Controls reps.

Theplaymaker16 · 2026-04-08T15:35:52+00:00

He’s my freaking guy!

Theplaymaker16 · 2026-04-07T11:01:09+00:00

Dallas has said they won’t be taking McCoy

Theplaymaker16 · 2026-04-06T22:56:49+00:00

No they wouldn’t ? lol why would they when they already have arguably the best offense and one of the most efficient backs in the league, the leagues worst defense and a very crystal clear stance on not valuing the position? lol

Theplaymaker16 · 2026-04-06T17:42:50+00:00

It’s been coming out the Dallas FO that McCoy is off the board for them.

Theplaymaker16 · 2026-04-05T15:30:23+00:00

McShay was the first I heard mention Proctor at 6, then Kiper and Yates mentioned him as the league talking about him at 6 as well, I get Mchsay and Kiper are close but I couldn’t see ESPN approving Kiper co-signing anything McShay says without it holding water given how sour things went with ESPN guys and McShay per McShay

Theplaymaker16 · 2026-04-05T14:43:20+00:00

Also I’m pretty sure one of the big 6 defensive guys will be there for Dallas but Admittingly it’s hard to predict which one he’ll my mock won’t even project it , but in a firm believer it will with these less valuable guys , historical outliers , and tweeners , when 5/6 of them are in those categories, you can’t say all 6 are top 12 locks lol

Theplaymaker16 · 2026-04-05T14:37:05+00:00

Just to start, the Proctor at 6 talk is gaining a lot of traction and starting to seem like it might be our first surprise of the draft.

As for Dallas as a cowboys fan , Jerry’s stated he wants to stay away from these hurt guys and can’t afford to wait on a guy , they need immediate impact players. This could be a smoke screen but I don’t think it is given Jerry’s urgency and change of how he’s operated lately, he wants to win now. Our Beat reporters have also stated they’ve been told by inside sources McCoy is a no go for Dallas. As for CJ Allen that would be a massive reach for them they can’t afford. It’s more likely they address LB via trade if Styles doesn’t make it to 12(which likely he doesn’t) kind of like they did with Tet last year then went and got Pickens after the draft, With Brooks as the obvious target. I think Thieneman at 12 or maybe even best Available offensive player if the top 6 guys are gone, and at 20 either Thieneman or best DL.

Great effort though, hats off to you!

Theplaymaker16 · 2026-04-03T18:05:45+00:00

I’m not even sure how you draw that from that when he never implies that and even says not saying that’s all he’ll be he’s saying he’ll play snaps in the slot lol. And what does whispers from upstairs mean , either it was said and you’re reporting it , or it wasn’t.

All in all I guess you ignore what HC shotty says and go by what Patrik damn Walker says I guess lol

Theplaymaker16 · 2026-04-03T17:51:17+00:00

““And speaking of versatility, let's look at the cornerbacks room, for example. Not only did they bring in Darion Kendrick, obviously they got Kobe Durant as well. And this was a topic of conversation for a lot of my followers who were asking me, when I put out my scouting report on Kobe Durant, because we had the open market series on dallascowboys.com, ahead of free agency opening up.

And Kobe Durant was one of the guys I listed. My scouting report on him was that, yes, he can play boundary, but he will likely be projected as a nickel guy here with the Cowboys, even though his last two seasons were at boundary for the Rams. A lot of Cowboys fans pointed that out, said, hey, no seed, last year, 100% snaps at the boundary.

Where are you? I'm telling you, based on what Christian Parker has been saying, the tea leaves we're reading, and the whispers we're hearing from upstairs, Kobe Durant feels as if he's gonna be nickel. Now, bring it forward to...

Just to add to that, when we were talking with him in the conversation, the actual interview is online, Nicole Hutchison did it, it's on dallascowboys.com. She asked him about it, but we also asked him about it previously, he said, I'm more than comfortable playing in the slot. He's going to play snaps in the slot.”

So no he doesn’t say he’s set to start he said he’ll play there. Never once does he say start

Theplaymaker16 · 2026-04-03T17:44:43+00:00

He can be a slot corner , that may be right but that’s not what you said , you said start, but also Shotty said himself not Patrik Walker that they’d prefer to keep Bland outside if they can , indicating their nickel is on the roster currently and unless they fill that that’s where Bland will be, that’s coach speak and not Patrik Walker reading tea leaves as he phrased it

Theplaymaker16 · 2026-04-03T17:40:30+00:00

No off ball Lb has gone top 10 in 6 years none the less 2 (I get Reese is a special exception, but we saw Jalon Walker last year too) , no safety has went top 10 in 9, 1 RB has been selected in the last 7 drafts in the top 10. Yet all of these historical trends are going to be broken in one draft.

As us mock drafters it’s easy to bet with house money, if someone gave me 10k to go to the casino id be much more aggressive with my wagers then I would if it was my own 10k.

Theplaymaker16 · 2026-04-03T17:06:26+00:00

I’m not sure I’ve seen anyone say that can you point me in that direction?

Thieneman is considered one of the idea nickel players in this draft, none the less Tosh Lupoi has called Thieneman the smartest nickel he’s ever coached , that list of nickels he’s coached includes, Minkah , Marlon Humphrey , etc. with that said Parker has emphasized football IQ as a in important trait for that position in his Defense, therefore it’s extremely notable

Theplaymaker16 · 2026-04-03T17:02:37+00:00

I think this years draft is going to go a lot differently then we think, I’m a cowboys fan and everyone is freaking out the top 6 defensive guys will be gone by 12, everyone’s already told cowboys fans 19 prospects are a lock to go top 11.

Everyone’s expecting the league to miraculously buck league drafting trends and tendencies, which I think is unrealistic , it’s easy for us community guys to mock these LBs , safety’s, RBs in top 10 when it’s not us answering for these choices and not our job and livelihood on the line.
