Which draft pick are you most excited about? Which one was the most surprising to you? Which player was the most disappointing to you given the others? – Walter DeBell/Troy, New York
Nick Harris: The most exciting pick, in my opinion, is Cooper Beebe. Beebe, an absolute bastard at Interior, will provide significant competition for the center position this offseason. The most surprising choice for me was Marshawn Kneeland. With running back, center, linebacker and defensive tackle sitting at No. 56 as big needs, Will McCray and his staff stayed true to their board and selected the best players available. In my eyes, the most disappointing pick was number 87. I was surprised to see them take a linebacker who had a Day 3 performance as they still had a quality running back. That's not a criticism of Marist Liufau, but rather a criticism of him giving up on returning midway through the draft and leaving his position with so much uncertainty heading into the end of the offseason.
Mickey: After not using a first-round pick on center and not being good enough to get a second-round pick, the Cowboys used the pick they acquired in a first-round trade down. , drafting Cooper Beebe with the ninth pick in the third round was great. Move. They needed another center prospect on the team, but also a player who could play guard as a backup plan in case Tyler Smith needed to be moved to tackle in an emergency. Beebe seems like a smart, strict, no-nonsense lineman you'll fall in love with. What is the most surprising thing? We don't know that because they didn't have a fourth rounder and were limited to 39 players.th 5th out of 41 picks. All the picks made sense from a position standpoint. Are you disappointed? Rather than being selected over others, the Cowboys waited until the sixth round to take a wide receiver and needed another depth position.
