    Do they go for a record on 1st Rd picks for defense? Put in a waiver claim on Taco Carlton and switch him from DE to outside backer?

    Hmm.... you do make a good point. Pittsburgh also brought the House to Michigan's Pro Day that year. In addition, Tomlin's and Colbert's comments regarding Devin Bush date back to 2017 when they first had interest in him.



    Personally, I would not rule this out. It would be odd given Taco's unathletic but unreal physical dimensons. 34.5 Inch arms are nothing to scoff at. The issues though would be his transition to a 3-4 OLB. To start out, he would have to lose quite a bit of weight. For two, take some time learning the defense. For three, why was he so unproductive after being billed a 4-3 End by trade and one of the top prospects of the 2017 Draft Class?!


    Quite a bit of uncertainty for sure. It is a bit of the roll of the dice. That being said, signing Taco Charlton could likely mean the beginning of the end for Bud Dupree. However, this also indicates that the team does not believe in Olasunkanmi Adeniyi either.

    I know he played in a 4-3 defense but couldn't he replace Bud? Since all he does is rush the passer.

    Dude! Taco Carlton is the Dallas Cowboys' version of Jarvis Jones.

    I was going to ask my older brother about him since he is a Cowboys fan but I just remember him as being one of the names kicked around a lot during the lead up to the draft in 17. He is still on his rookie deal so someone will put a claim on him since it doesn't hurt to kick the tires.

    He sucks on the Dallas squad but they have a talented defense. He’s probably better than bud lol

    I was telling a guy at work today(Niners fans btw) that after trading for Fitzpatrick if this defense was run by Greg Williams the might rival the 85 bears and I don't like Williams but the man knows how to coach a defense and make a game plan. Yes I'm exaggerating but still that much talent on defense it boggles the mind that they can't teach them to play better

    I’d rather have Wade Phillips, but I doubt if he would look at Pittsburgh considering how the Steelers owned his dad’s team

    They theoretically can be top 5 with a good DC.

    I know. When I think about ownership I just think how can you not see this? Maybe not top 5 but better than this! It's like he wants the challenge of purposely handicapping the team.

    If they wait till he clears waivers, Dallas will have to pay his contract the next two years and we could get him cheap. If we take him off waivers, Dallas is off the hook for his two year contract.

    Bum had a lot of respect for the Steelers and vice versa. I suspect Wade is okie dokie with the Steelers.

    He’s also 72. Not the age you normally start somewhere new.

    I live in dallas, We do not want this guy. From day one he has had a extreme arrogance to him. It is well known that he walks around with an attitude of being "the Stuff" and has never done anything other than being a first round pick (now a first round bust). Trust me this guy will not be in the league for very much longer.

    Best description I heard of him was on ESPN local today. When the position you play has two players out and you cant even get a uniform on game day as a first round pick that says a hell of a lot!
