Confused by the 2nd rb pick unless we get rid of one of the vets. On that topic tho... Fred Taylor's son looks way too good to be a 6th rounder. Picked right before us at 211.

Can't get rid of anyone. Smith won't be playing this year. Hell, Smith may never see the field again. Nerve damage in his knee could ruin his career before it started.

The doctor who performed Smith's surgery is the Cowboys head physician, so I'd put money on him playing in 2016 before I'd bet on him missing his entire career... The Cowboys know his situation better than anyone.

I have no prob with the smith pick. I said the 2nd RB pick, the 2nd running back. I like the guy when I saw his highlights though. I was simply referring to us now having a boat load of running backs and one prolly needs to go.

--Edit--
I'll add in that I have no problem with the Smith pick because if healthy I personally thought he was the best player in the draft. And both edge rushers available for that spot were taken as well. And I actually like how it turned out. I like what I've read about Tapper.

When healthy, yes, he was probably the best player in college football last year. He has a significant knee injury though. Smith was seen wearing an AFO brace which would indicate foot drop, a nerve ailment that prevents people from lifting the front part of their foot. I'm not saying he can't come back and play, but to use a 2nd round pick was a huge gamble for a team with glaring needs. I'm not a Cowboys fan, but I'll be rooting for him. Nerve damage can ruin a career though. Just ask Marcus Lattimore.

That is all.
