(Steve Walsh) The Dallas Cowboys surprised observers by selecting Walsh with the second overall pick in the NFL Supplemental Draft,[2] even though they had already selected Troy Aikman number one overall in the 1989 NFL Draft and had to surrender by rule an equivalent pick in the 1990 NFL Draft, which would turn out to be the number one overall selection.
That was the 31 years ago.

Wow! We've got eight picks. I don't ever remember having that many. Most of the time we work with around half that number. The scouts are the most important people in the organization right now. Let's hope they earn their money and a bonus! :p

More picks to use to move up and get those special players that they have identified.

Jaelan Phillips - DE University of Miami

6'5/260 good closer with speed and range. Very good against the run as well. Legit first round talent, could start and be productive from Day 1.

A few scouts compare Jaelan's skill set to ---> CAM JORDAN.

Best DE in the draft. Fits our profile to a T. Buuut... he’s one concussion away from retirement. He already retired once in college.

I just can’t see how they don’t go for a CB. Even trade up judging from past drafts. Of course I never have been correct about predicting Saints drafts.

Wonder what we could get for the dancing bear Mr. Glass?

Your Mr. Glass has become more of a Mr. Reliable the past two seasons. What we would get is a hole at left tackle.

Whatever we got would need spent on a new LT as I doubt you get more than a late 1 early 2. The big benefit would be in the cap but it's a bit late for that now

It wouldn't be a help in the cap at all. His base salary is only $1.12 million. The rest are all in bonus guarantees which we would get hit with. With his restructure bonus he counts $8.299 million against the 2021 cap. If we trade him we get hit with a $20.18 million slam.

No way at all we can move him even if we wanted and personally I think that would be beyond foolish as he is one of the best LT's in the league today. They are rare.
