Dallas trades their pick to the Lions

Dallas trades the pick.

 

Maybe they have targeted a 4th rnd WR.

From Sportingnew Warroom:

 

Marcus Harrison

DT, Arkansas

War Room analysis

Strengths: Gets moving quickly at the snap. When aggressive against the run, shows the strength to deliver hand punch to jolt blockers upright. Shows the quick hands to defeat offensive linemen with arm-over move, and shows a good burst to finish plays in the backfield. Shows the strength to hold his ground at the point of attack against the run, and flashes the ability to torque blockers off their feet and make tackles on runs at him. Is strong enough to fight through double-teams. Shows good athleticism to get off the ground after being cut and get back into the chase. Consistently gets inside "reach" blocks, keeping offensive linemen on his back while chasing the ballcarrier.

 

Weaknesses: Is a bit inconsistent. Must learn to attack every play. Tends to get upright and become a non-factor. Lacks explosiveness off the snap to shoot gaps. Does not consistently use hands to shed blockers or protect legs from cut blocks. Lacks a variety of pass-rush moves.

 

Bottom line: Harrison is tough to evaluate but shouldn't be written off. He has good size and rare athleticism, and he is a disruptive player when aggressive. Harrison will be a little up and down early in his career as he adjusts to the NFL, but after a season or two, he will become a productive starter who makes impact plays.

He's right. Walker is a Texan.

Cowboys trade pick to the Lions....

[dew1679666265]

Prediction: Colts take Cliff Avril, DE, Purdue.

 

You may be right that they were targeting him, but the Lions just grabbed him.

Jinxed. I must not have been the only one to think that.

Oh, my bust. I wonder if this means that Green is getting cut on June 1.

Well, they don't want Manningham. Caldwell is still there. They might take one at the top of the fourth.

 

It is interesting.

I am hoping its for Roy Williams :wink:

Dallas gets the Lions fourth rounder this year and a fourth rounder next year.

For the amount they're paying him and for his lack of production he's given them, I wouldn't rule that out.

The Cowboys got a 4th this year and next year from the Lions.

Possible. Though Walker wasn't good enough to be the feature back and neither is Slaton, in my opinion. They may keep Green and go with RB by committee.

here goes anthony collins

[dew1679666265]

Colts grab Phillip Wheeler.

 

Good pick, he's a solid linebacker.

[dew1679666265]

Pats take Kevin O'Connell, QB out of SDSU

 

Must be giving up on Brady.

With Brady, they can take a project QB. I heard a lot of scouts were high on this kid.

[Flames24Rulz]

Giants take Manningham.

Yeah, I thought it was a good move.

 

Giants take a chance on Manningham. Decent choice.
