Transcript
00:00okay we start here with the c-note with dak at the children's cancer gala gala uh friday night
00:06talk to football with reporters who were there to get dak's thoughts and troikman's thoughts on
00:12everything the headline uh making quote from prescott was on pickens quote he's been active
00:19looks great leaving all those contract talks to the front office not only a reference to how things
00:27went wrong with micah last year but with what dak and cd have recommended to their teammates after
00:33going through it before is just like man let your agent handle this you don't want to get involved
00:37but i mean could we be lucky enough to have this go smoothly with george just focusing on football
00:43showing up for training camp i don't think he's going to show for otas or the offseason i don't
00:48really care about those i i just care about his mindset and his presence at training camp and i
00:53think so far those things are going fairly smoothly but you just can't take anything for granted
00:58considering who that agent is yeah man i i think it's it's very much so up in the air and
01:04you're
01:04playing a bit of a dangerous game and maybe inside those walls they will get a little bit more of
01:08an
01:08assurance uh about you know george pickens showing up to training camp but i i wouldn't i wouldn't be
01:15betting on it no i wouldn't be i wouldn't be betting on it either but um you know i i
01:20i think
01:21you know george probably respects dak and cd's advice quite a bit yeah and if they're telling
01:28him dude you know if you if you relax you're going to get all the money like the agent's going
01:33to take
01:33care of you if you can just focus on football you know once you go into i'm pissed off at
01:40the team
01:41because they're not giving me what i'm worth now you now you're talking to yourself every day about
01:47being disrespected and there are a lot of damn days i just saw from scott hansen the other day
01:52there's 150 days until the return of red zone it's awesome do you want to wake up pissed off at
01:57the
01:57jones boys for the next 150 days because once you engage and like do a deep dive on what you're
02:03worth
02:03with your stats compared to what the market is saying and what they're giving you you can think
02:08of the millions and millions of dollars that you're not getting and it's going to be difficult
02:11you know jerry jones at the press conference when they dealt micah parsons said everybody
02:16will flash when you start talking about their personal finances right there's a look across
02:21their face of suddenly their emotions they're in a fight now you want to wake up in a fight every
02:26day or or do you want to enjoy football and let your agent handle it clearly the best option for
02:32your happiness and your pocketbook and staying with the cowboys is option b and once you're in that
02:37mindset leave me alone moligeta yeah i got practice to get to yeah like call me crazy i think
02:43i think he's going to show up because i just don't see the real gain for him in not showing
02:49up the rest
02:50of the league's basically told you we're not interested they've had time to negotiate they
02:55haven't wanted to the cowboys might be just totally content they're like do it again we want to see it
03:00again we want to see how y'all are on and off the field we want to see the production
03:03again before
03:04we're willing to give you that deal so the rest of the league's still holding the narrative and
03:09some of the immaturity and some of the bad egg label that's been thrown upon you are you going
03:13to add to that by now i'm not going to show up and now i'm not going to hold out
03:16like i don't know the
03:18real benefit in george pickens case that there is to hold out now after you've gone the entire
03:23offseason and the cowboys basically said like hey open for business if somebody else really wants you
03:28go ahead make an offer and nobody did and then the league saying yeah you're not worth
03:34more than a second round pick like you kind of know your market and it's not as high as you
03:38want
03:39it so go out ball out again on a franchise tag believe in yourself bet on yourself like dak did
03:44and got rewarded for it and we'll circle back and do it again next year i just from the micah
03:49standpoint
03:49here it was a different thing right like mike had done everything you knew the cowboys wanted to pay
03:53micah and if the cowboys didn't there was going to be a lot of suitors that did green bay did
03:58but
03:58for george it doesn't sound like there are yeah it's it's difficult to get that kind of leverage i think
04:03the only downside would be the risk of injury if i'm george that's fair but the point you bring up
04:07might be more powerful yeah like you have a chance to flip the narrative yeah and wait i mean how
04:12many
04:13times do you see guys get banged up when they skip training camp you know it's like you try to
04:16hold
04:16your leverage and then you show up for the season now all of a sudden you're you're coming out of
04:19the gates a little bit slow i do think everything you just said walchuk makes a ton of sense
04:23yes sir it does okay uh at 877-881-1053 if you'd like to chime in on that the franklin
04:30frankel
04:30injury attorney text line is open for you we go to the twitter account of nick harris fort worth star
04:35telegram says call me dumb when i'm wrong i think the cowboys two first rounders are going to come
04:41from this group right here mansoor delane caleb down sonny styles jordan tyson colton hood brandon
04:47cisei chris johnson tj parker kildrick falk and malachi lawrence so that's what nine different
04:56names and some different scenarios the jordan tyson one is the only offensive player in there
05:02the arizona statewide receiver posting clips of his workout they look good man it looks like his legs
05:08just operate differently than everybody else's don't they he's got some justin jefferson to his
05:12releases i i mean like i could i i'm nervous about him his injury history because it's it's been
05:17a consistent issue in college so why is that gonna not be an issue in the pros but if he's
05:22healthy yeah the dude is absolutely a top 10 type of pick he's he's fantastic i don't think the cowboys
05:28are gonna go that direction i don't think he's gonna be there at 12 but i love the malachi lawrence
05:32being on that and daniel deramaya throughout today he's heard some buzz that the cowboys could be a
05:38sneak i think that's a trade back i don't think they'd take him at 20 but the only name on
05:42there that
05:43would scare me is tj parker i think they'd take him at 20 you do i do okay what are
05:46the strengths of
05:47malachi lawrence this is the edge from ucf yeah he is a he's a tall long rangy type of guy
05:54gives you
05:54no hitting surface he throws a lot of different counter moves at you he's one of those guys that
06:00we always talk about the one trick pony he's not one of these guys he can get small when he
06:05has to
06:05he can get up the field he retraces really well he never kind of goes past the quarterback and then
06:11has to like circle around he always arrives at the area he plays the run a lot better than you
06:17think he does for somebody that's up the field he knows how to get back i think he's got a
06:22good feel
06:22for how to read blocks and then take advantage of what guys are trying to do but he's always
06:28throwing some type of counter move he's always got a plan with the way he rushes really good athlete
06:34very good athlete yeah so what's his weakness it sounds like he should be in consideration for top
06:3810 i have an undrafted grade yeah he's he's a seventh round pick i give him a 179
06:48all right thanks jim uh but yeah that to me this is this might be one of these guys through
06:55the draft
06:55process and i know zach has talked about him when we've done stuff whether it's on the stack over
07:00there at crown global media and stuff he's talked about him i know on our airways we probably have not
07:05talked about him nearly enough because we've talked about mesador and people like that i just
07:10don't think they're going to draft mesador i i don't think they're going to draft mesador and i
07:15think the age is a concern to them so with that being said now where's where's the where's the
07:22others i mean i think the arm length is a problem for texas a&m because his arms are shorter
07:27than
07:27baines for cash is how cash is how i think that we were talking about how we were talking about
07:32mesador we're talking about i think physically and age and all that now you're starting to slot
07:38uh uh slot our our guy here into into that 20 hole i'd be so pumped and coach brim who's
07:44on the
07:45staff coached me ucf so he's got a sponsor yeah in the building i'd love malachi 6-4 247 you
07:51want an
07:52edge that that's your guy right there i'd love that but what is he that he doesn't do what is
07:55the
07:55thing that where he could bust you know i mean i guess like you can probably find out that he's
08:01not the heaviest guy at 247 he's light yeah and and he did play ucf i mean he was in
08:05the big 12 he's
08:06all big 12 first team but i mean you could not he's just he's a taller version of what bailey
08:11is
08:12bailey's like a 250 pound guy yeah so i mean he the thing the thing that that could get him
08:18in trouble
08:19man it's hard to say because he there's so many things he does well as a pass rusher
08:25but the run defense stuff is it's pretty solid is run defense might be better than bailey
08:31when it comes to the way ways way he plays yeah i mean he can improve this could be one
08:36of these guys
08:36this could be one of these guys that should probably be selected somewhere between 12 between 12 and 18
08:43and he and now he's you know now people maybe the media scouts have not gone on him like they
08:49should
08:50have whereas the team scouts are kind of like nah man you guys are you guys are missing out on
08:55this
08:55cat he his film is fun to watch 6 4 253 with a 4 5 40 yeah wow that's uh
09:03it's quite a uh uh an
09:05endorsement and a scouting report that you've given us on on him that would be exciting if the cowboys
09:10can add him okay uh mel kuyper's favorite linebacker perfect fit for the dallas cowboys
09:17this is uh michigan's jimmy rolder yeah kuyper dubbed his favorite linebacker prospect quote
09:23he has versatility and the speed to close on the qb as a blitzer but i have him graded as
09:29an off-ball
09:29linebacker 6 3 238 rolder has the iq the diagnosed skills and the burst to drop in coverage and he
09:37wraps
09:38up as a tackler kuyper goes on to note that rolder will be a steal in the early parts of
09:45day
09:45three where the cowboys are are picking fourth there at 112 you like rolder i gotta give jonah
09:50toles a lot of credit for this guy we had him on love of the star i hadn't watched him
09:53yet and he's
09:54like man jimmy rolder i got a third round grade on him he said watch him against michigan state it's
09:58one of the best films that you'll see and he was right i mean he led michigan with 73 tackles
10:03now he's a
10:03one-year starter gavin so i know you brought that up with arvel reese he was a lot of special
10:07teams
10:07yeah he had to wait his turn to play but brian i mean he aggression physical his ability to take
10:13on blocks and shed is among some of the best linebacker tape you'll see in the class i think
10:18he's got a little bit everything to his game really well-rounded brown well-rounded player i think the
10:22coverage is actually pretty good for him too yeah it's it's 6 3 238 you'd be hard-pressed to watch
10:27like washington ohio state michigan where a tackle he missed a tackle i mean he he's one of these guys
10:34that is constantly when he's in position he's getting his guy to the ground i i think to me
10:39though that when you when you watch this guy play the thing that really is so impressive about him
10:45is how he's so efficient getting to the ball i mean there's not a lot of wasted movement or or
10:51steps or
10:52anything with this guy he's got really good uh he's got really good awareness he's got really good
10:56change of direction uh and he and he finishes tackle i mean he rarely you do not see him like
11:02sitting back and waiting like he's he's a running go he goes and goes and gets the football yeah
11:08i would be surprised by the way i know they're talking at four i i think that somebody might
11:12take this guy in the third i agree steven jones last week with knc talked about how much better
11:18of a chance a guy has of having a successful career the more years that he's been a starter so
11:24i think that's worth having an eye on as we have this new coaching staff and we're trying to figure
11:29out exactly what they're looking for but once you get to the end of day two or or into day
11:34three
11:35you know i i i think projecting traits probably but you know obviously in in the first round if
11:42you have a guy who stepped onto campus and immediately became a starter and never came
11:46off the field for for three or four years that's one that the cowboys are going to bonus in their
11:50eval
11:51watch
11:51you
