He helps to fill a major need for them if he develops into the NFL CB we know he can be. I thought if he dropped this far that the Cowboys would pull the trigger on him. He's probably delighted to both be drafted and playing close to home. Good Luck young man!
The NFL guys, the ESPN guys all felt Reggie was a steal where he got drafted. Highest graded player at the CB position in the context of the drills at the combine. You watch Reggie’s film side by side with Okudah’s film and there’s not a whole lot of difference in how they both play. Reggie is going to be one of those solid cover guys for many years in the NFL.
They've already overpaid Zeke and when he figures out what the Panthers gave McCaffrey, he'll hold out after the next season to get even more. And Dak...they'll overpay Dak. For what Dak is, they are going to way overpay him...and then they'll be cap-strapped again which is why they haven't won diddly since 1995.
They haven’t won anything since the salary cap and neither has the brilliant Jimmy Johnson.
This is true. Most of that lies with Jerry Jones and his insistence on being a GM (and now through his son). Jerry always wants to make a splash and wants to keep his superstar players and will overpay them to keep them in place. That usually means you don't get the 50-53 players on your active roster who are specialists and special teams players but you also feel confident can contribute on offense or defense if called upon. Of course you have to have "team guys" vs "me" guys and it's pretty apparent Dak, Zeke, etc. are "me" guys. I don't think Aikman, Emmitt, or Irvin were "me" guys but I don't think Jerry was going to risk that.
Jimmy's problem was not being given enough time to rebuild teams. I think he could have won with the Dolphins. I think it's the same problem with the Browns right now. Everyone wants immediate results. The Browns org was such a disaster for so long, it's not going to be an overnight thing. I think they can win with Baker and the pieces they're putting around him but they do need a good solid coach. But it takes time and if you're going to jettison the HC or any assistants each year, it's going to disrupt the continuity and what has been built.
