to draft Tyler Smith in round 1, but it was Jerry who was not
on the show yesterday who decided to show it in
a different way on draft night. Take a look at this little clip
of Jerry Jones talking about
the Cowboys draft board and making the mistake of showing
the draft board on draft night. Here it is.
Let me put it like this. We have both of them.
It was printed three days ago, below him.
Both of those players are below. It. Can you see that?
There's I'm dead serious.
No, we really did. Have them ready to blow it. No, we did
really did both of them.
Put that sheet down, take that away for and and it's been
deciphered. How do we, how do we do this? I already know this
for sure. Like
they just know what that says there. I mean, how I don't
understand.
I don't know that takes higher level skills than I have.
I don't know if they somehow unscrambled that but I think
it's combination of the context. The length of
the name. The length of the school
like you can see Cincinnati. See we're sort.
Gardner is, and you see, there's an extra long, extra
long name of school. And then you've got, you've got two
names, Notre Dame. That's Kyle Hamilton.
So I think it's educated, guesswork
tube rebuild, that draft board based upon
the image that was captured. But yeah, don't don't show your
draft board at a press conference. It is fair game.
Some would say. Oh, how dare, somebody do that? No, it's fair
game. If you're going to hold it up for a camera,
if somebody can figure it out. So Bit. So they had Tyler Smith
at number 16 and they drafted him. I think with pick 24 so,
you know, they got him, they got him. Yeah,
they got him higher,
then then they had him and they were asked about Kenyan your
green and Zion Johnson and that was the point. Both of those
guys were lower than Tyler Smith
on their board. Now their board could be wrong. Yeah, right
there board could be flat wrong, but
now they did have your guy your guy
Lewis sign higher than Tyler Smith, and I'm
Walker, they're adamant
13. He went 32. They had him at 13.
He's a hell of a player. He really is. I mean, he's I think
your Vikings got a steel there at 32, for sure. And
the Cowboys were a team that, you know, got some safety needs,
but I think they probably looked at it and went man,
offense of line. We got to go there
and listen, Tyler Smith. I know there's been a lot of talk
about this is he is, you know is is perfect, maybe as Ian
Johnson or Kenyan green, you know? Know? Are they are there
film? If you watch it with me, Mike, you'd go. Yeah, it's
a little bit better.
But they're taking what the Cowboys in the draft in my
opinion is they took some shots like Smith has incredible
Talent, Mike incredible.
I mean, he might be the most physical lineman in the draft.
He's a really good mover. I mean, he's athlete athletic but
he's all over the place. Mike, sometimes in pass protection.
It looks like he's playing defense on a
basketball game and then, you know, next time he's pulling
down the line of scrimmage and he's doing
Carioca is he's going down there and it just so that's where
you know, I think a lot of evaluators on man. We love this
kid. He's got a lot of the tools. You want to be
a big-time player, but there's going to be a little work here
and refinement here,
and I think that's probably why people were a little surprised
with that pick. And even their second round, pick Sam Williams
from
Ole Miss and credible, like, physical freak off the ball,
but not very good at anything else. So they like it kind of
took risky homerun shots, and
we'll see if They work out for the Jones family.
Assuming that the high-level CSI Dallas assessment of
the image of the draft board was accurate. What do you think of
the Cowboys having Kavon Thibodeau at number one? Well,
you know, me that that makes me think that they, you know,
too many fingers at the Keel of other evaluating. I don't know.
I don't see that, you know, but this is why this draft was
amazing because I know people were you see, Evan Neal. He's
their number two guy. In the board. Most teams had
Egham equiano's their number gotten number one, lineman on
the board and it's so
that's where I think it was crazy draft is,
you know, you got team, like you see here, the Dallas
Cowboys are the Giants where they, obviously thought
Thibodaux was high up with their board, but I know other
teams, like you've heard me say that had him fourth fifth sixth
best pass rusher.
And that's what I think was a little bit of a different year.
There wasn't as much of a consensus on some of these top
guys as maybe years past.
They got to be pissed at the Giants. Got both guys at
the Top here, draft board, right? Number one, and number two. Now
on the New York Giants, one of our top Rivals. Gee, that's
great.
Yeah. No, that is great is great. I love it G-Man. Let's
go.
