Yeah when they talked about that on todays pre-draft i was surprised. They made the correct call obviously.
His talent was wasted with Moorhead as our coach. If he’d been in Leachs offense I’m sure he’d been a 2/3 rounder.
not that this means anything, the original mock draft posted in the draft thread had biadasz as a 1st rounder, so you know he's been highly regarded before
End of the day it doesn't mean a ton. I have seen all kinds of crazy takes from the wildly loyal to dez crowd to the "88 has always been a DIVA/THUG number! Dont saddle him with that!" Dez is one of my all time favorite cowboys and there is a small part of me that is sad that someone else will be wearing the number I so closely associate with him but if Lamb balls the fuck out I am fairly confident I will quickly make peace with it lol
I mean I am a lifelong fan and obviously love Irvin and Pearson but im 30 years old. Dez was drafted when I was like 20 so for the part of my life where I was a conscious fan watching and understanding every game, he was #88. Not like i view him as "the true 88" or something just hes "my" 88 I guess?
That's a nice pickup. I know Dak is pretty reliable as far as health goes but it never hurts to have a solid backup.
