The Detroit Lions select C.J. Dippre, TE, Alabama

The New York Giants select Raheim Sanders, RB, South Carolina

We’re getting this done tonight, aren’t we?

Content now that they have added Hall of Fame DNA to the team (and prepared for the inevitable move of firing Brian Schottenheimer after the Cowboys fall to the worst record in the NFL, trade Dak Prescott, draft Arch Manning 1.1, and hire Deion Sanders as HC), the Dallas Cowboys select Jalen Marshall, Jr., CB, Florida.

The Cowboys are done. Here is their haul.

12) Dallas Cowboys - duncan_idaho - Matthew Golden, WR, Texas
44) Dallas Cowboys - duncan_idaho - Princely Umanmielen, DE, Ole Miss
76) Dallas Cowboys - duncan_idaho - Kaleb Johnson, RB, Iowa
149) Dallas Cowboys - duncan_idaho - Dylan Fairchild, G, Georgia
174) Dallas Cowboys - duncan_idaho - Caleb Ransaw, DB, Tulane
204) Dallas Cowboys - duncan_idaho - Kyle McCord, QB, Syracuse
211) Dallas Cowboys - duncan_idaho - Jackson Hawes, TE, Georgia Tech
217) Dallas Cowboys - duncan_idaho - Jake Majors, OL, Texas
239) Dallas Cowboys - duncan_idaho - Shilo Sanders, S, Colorado
247) Dallas Cowboys - duncan_idaho - Jalen Marshall, Jr. CB, Florida

To me, I think the Cowboys are setting up for a teardown/tank, without admitting it.

I can see a Dak Prescott trade, before training camp, where they eat a big part of his contract.

With this draft, they add a speed threat complement to Lamb in Golden, add more speed and bend to their DE group, to work off Parson, add nice depth at the DB spots, and get an interior OL who I think will prove to be a very fine player and pass protector in Dylan Fairchild.

It's all set up to be the worst team in the league this year, take Arch Manning 1st overall in the next draft, and hit set starting in 2026.

I figure they trade Dak Prescott to a team despreate at the QB spot (the Pittsburgh Steelers seem like a good fit there, honestly, though I would be tempted to work with the Jets because they're a stupid organization) for some extra draft capital in 2026 as well.

The Saints select Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, T, Florida

Billay next, so not sure who I am DMing?

The San Francisco 49ers select Ahmed Hassanein, EDGE, Boise St.

Seriously. Somebody want to tell me how the blue **** a city of under 100,000 people is going to host the goddamn NFL draft?

TELL ME. I DEMAND TO KNOW.

Anyway, with their last pick, the home team Green Bay Packers select Marcus Harris, CB, California

Cackling in the War Room once again, looking extremely rested after their long break in the middle of day 3, we see a pleased Brett Veach talking on the phone. "I told you this guy would make it to us. He's your clone. Go announce the pick, I'll call it in."

He sets his iPhone down and looks at an extremely pleased Dave Merritt. "So, remember, don't tell them they're announcing a guy who probably is going to replace them next year." Merritt nods.

At the NFL draft, where Green Bay fans are filling the Day 3 doldrums by chanting about what a stinker that Aaron Rodgers is, Jaylen Watson and Joshua Williams walk on to the stage. Watson is on his phone as he enters, and can be faintly heard saying, "Hold on real quick, LJ, I gotta announce this pick, then we can talk playing the market for a trade and contract!"

Watson and Williams step to the podium.

Watson: "You all know nobody works Day 3 DBs like our man Brett Veach..."
Williams: "So why do you keep letting him do it, guys?"

In unison: "The Kansas City Chiefs select Fentrell Cypress II, CB, Florida State.

There’s a guy the Chiefs have met with that’s available that I really want Duncan to pick for us

Just checking - is John Marshall, Jr, at Pick 205 the same person as Jalen Marshall, Jr, at Pick 247?

I see a Jalen Marshall on my lists, but not a John Marshall. I'd assumed that maybe John was Jalen back when Pick 205 was made.

The San Francisco 49er select Jalen Travis, OL, Iowa St.

Yes, it appears Gloucester accidentally put John Marshall instead of Jalen.

I'm going to go ahead and change Duncan's pick but if he comes back soon and wants somebody else, no problem.
