Second Irish player for the Cowboys. Hope Smith is able to recover fully.

Stupid pick, contradicts the Zeke pick last round. Win now or the future? Shocking pick

 

[NinerSickness]

Wait so Cowboys drafted a guy who won't play till 2017 ?

I was terrified my mortal enemies would get Connor Cook.

Jags takes Jack. Congrats to him. That Defense could be nasty wil Jack and Ramsey

As I posted on the Cowboys forum:

Jaylon Smith, #34 overall. Linebacker, Notre Dame.

Grade: B/B+

I am simply blown away. I had Smith pegged as a 4th+ rounder for sure. So much that I bet a Cubs game beer on it with my friend. I never expected Smith to go this early given the injury.

That said, Jaylon Smith is probably the best player in the entire draft. The 2016 draft class is weak, but even if it was strong Smith would still be a top 10 pick without the injury. Smith has a HUGE football IQ and one of the best motors as a linebacker I've seen since Keuchley. There is no off field issues with Smith and he was the sole owner of the defense for Notre Dame.

With two friends from Notre Dame, I watched quite a bit of Smith game film and I can say he's the real deal. Great instincts, hits the hole tremendously and is excellent in coverage. If Smith recovers from his injury the Cowboys have easily stole the draft in terms of the linebacker position. Some people had Jack above Smith prior to injuries but I think those people were insane. Although both play different roles, Smith is the better on field leader and athlete.

This would be an easy A+ (and new ranking: "What drugs did Jerry use on every other teams' war room) if not for the injury concern (obviously). HUGE upside... Actually F it, I'll go B+ grade on this.

Jacksonville continues to stock up on talent

Remember Fowler Jr. is back this year as well. Jags could come out of nowhere.

Ramsey and Jack...

That's pretty insane defensive talent from one draft.

 

[CCF151]

Glad to see Jack go early in this round. Hope his knee doesn't need surgery early in his career.

 

[NWPATSFAN]

A run on injured players. You just don't see that everyday. Too bad NE doesn't pick next to keep the streak going.

 

[Duffman]

Jags go Myles Jack, good move once he's 100% healthy.

 

[purguy12]

A+ draft for Dallas and Jags. Especially Jags. They get Ramsey and Jack. WOW

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Easy A+ grade for the Jags.

I think that's the only time I've ever personally graded two back to back A+ grades.

Ramsey + Jack? Most people had Jack going to Jax with their original 5th. To snag both is absolutely insane. With how Bortles progressed, I'm actually glad Jax is in the AFC.

 

[purguy12]

Congrats to J. Smith just hate that he went to Dallas. I have to cheer a little for them when he plays. 1 more year to totally hate them. LOL

Jags are gonna be a fun team to watch

 

[NWPATSFAN]

Jags win the AFCS this year book it.

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

Surprised the took Jones with the other DT available

 

[bonham]

Maybe it's the vagina in me but I'm starting to feel bad about the boos

 

[Bolts]

Chargers take the top TE in the draft and needed someone once Gates retires, don't hate the pick but would have liked to move back if they were gonna draft him round 2.
