Convert him to tackle. He's probably better than Brown already.

I've already said I would be good with it. I'm surprised he's still on the board. There were rumors a number of teams had taken him off their boards for medical reasons.

In a vacuum I love Downs for the slot, but Kincaid is going to take a lot of those snaps.

He could be the next Jason Peters. Maybe he's sliding because of medicals, I dunno. All I know is the fella can block. I hate the second round. Benton is a nice pick. Steelers getting value.

Seriously, Washington could be your future LT. If he's there I'm taking him.

Don't really want Torrence or Jones. And there goes Mauch. He looks like he needs to be carrying a Claymore.

I think you have Mims right. I'm thinking Day 2 and not simply round 2. For round 2, I am strongly hoping there is some worthy oline help available.

Though Mims is pretty good. If we needed a slot, I like Downs. Kincaid and Shakir covers it. I want OL and I suppose DT.

I like him as a second round pick. He does have a high ceiling.

Damn dirty birds. Really like Bergeron.

Judgment is prudential. Beane tends to be a straight shooter -- this is what I think after listening to interviews for a number of years and comparing what he says to how he acts professionally. In this circumstance, I don't think there is warrant for suspicion in his regards. Maybe you do. The Cowboys need a TE and numerous folks think they wanted Kincaid. Looking at the body language of the Cowboys war room and the length of time they took to make the pick, I believe they did indeed want Kincaid and that Jones created a narrative to save face. Jones also has a long history. He is not an inveterate liar, but I can believe in this particular circumstance he has reason to fib and that he is in fact not telling the truth. And in general, discernment is finely calibrated to the particularities of a situation, though the norms of human nature guide practical judgment.

Discernment of human nature. Do you always accept at face value the public statements of public figures? Lots of commentators have concluded the Cowboys wanted Kincaid, not just Skip Bayless. So, it's a matter of judgment. No one is hooking Jerry Jones up to a lie detector. If you believe him, I think that is naive, but you are free to maintain that judgment.

Trenton Simpson and Drew Sanders are still there. I'm not sure they get to 59 or even in range of a trade up. I like Mingo and Hyatt at 59, but unless you're trading Gabe Davis, I don't see how one could justify a second round pick on WR given the distribution of available targets now that Kincaid has been added. Adebewore, Benton, Pickens, Dexter, and Ika (lot of good to decent DTs available day 2). There are some good veteran FAs still out there at edge, so I think Beane will concentrate in the middle. Honestly, I've thought about this. I think he might be a Jason Peters story if he is open to it.

Ahh, I think Jones is one of those problem big guys. If Beane packaged 137 and 59, by the standard chart he could get to 55. I'd trade up for Mauch or Schmitz. Like Ika at 91, btw.

I have felt for a while that they are not that worried about LB. I think they'd like to add DT. I hope they are willing to trade up to get quality help on the oline. Bergeron, Avila, Mauch, Tippman, Schmitz among the names I would target.

I prefer the narrative where Jerry Jones is secretly seething and crestfallen.

I'm sorta worried that I'm agreeing with Einstein, but you have to respect truth where you find it.

I think you are ridiculously credulous if you are taking that explanation straight. Cowboys wanted Kincaid and the Bills got the jump on them.

They also sound like perfectly acceptable names for the lead character in a B movie Western back in the day.

Bergeron, Avila, Mauch (all probably gone before 59, alas), Tippmann, Schmitz (might be there.) Duncan and Steen in the third. Some solid day 2 talent for the oline.

You can say that again.

Thanks. They don't call me Blind Squirrel for nothing.

Fella is allowed to develop, just like players.

I'm not sure. I'll ask. @Sherlock Holmes

Sending you to that special clubhouse where Airseven and his pals hang out.
