Grade the Cowboys performance in the draft through round 3

Poll forthcoming...

I don't know. I like a majority of the picks, but at the same time I'm feeling a little underwhelmed.

Not a huge Frederick or Wilcox fan. Think they are solid. Terrence Williams is OK and you all know that I'm a big fan of what the Packers do seemingly every year, taking a WR sometime in the 2nd round.

The only selection that I really love is Gavin Escobar.

 

[Midswat]

Gave it a C, but feel I'm being slightly generous.

I love the Frederick pick.

I can be sold on the Escobar pick, based on what I've read about him.

I don't get the Terrance Williams pick. We seem fairly stacked at receiver - Miles, Dez, Harris is decent. Got Escobar now. Still have Witten. Oh, and the coach said he wants to run more. Still only 1 football..... I don't get it.


I hate the JJ Wilcox pick. This literally feels like a wasted draft pick. I'm so tired of these project players. Ugh.

good players B+
ignoring glaring needs D

that somehow averaged out to a low B for me.

 

[Mr.Po]

Don't hate the players as much as the methodology of where, when, and why we took them.

The only pick I wish was a complete do over is Escobar.

I kinda agree. I don't dislike the players. I just don't think Dallas got good value on any of them. Frederick is great, in the late second/early third. I expected a much smarter draft with more attention to the trenches. I would have liked a DE to replace Spencer and backup Ware. I have a very bad feeling about this draft.

 

[Theebs]

F of course.

 

[cmd34]

Drama queen.

Come on sir, you are better than this.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Anyone kind of worried that our FO went crazy over the JJ Wilcox selection?

 

[bbgun]

Loathe the Escobar pick. Not a pressing need, and I fear he's too tall to be a nimble pass catcher.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

He plays TE, bbgun.

You just need a long gait, a wide wingspan, body and great hands..

 

[bbgun]

LaFleur says hi.

Just trying to fit in.

all u cool kids say we blew it and u are all so much smarter than me.

So I am just trying to fit in.

Escobar is a great athlete but who cares when you have Witten.
Terrance Williams is a slick one dimensional WR but not when you have Miles, Dez, and Harris who are multidimensional.
Frederick is a solid pick but not in round 1.
Wilcox is like a having a player start his NFL career with only one year at his position and only one on defense.

C stands for con man. Garrett is buying himself another year while making the excuse that once these players develop, he will start winning.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

LaFleur says hi.

Didn't injuries ultimately do him in?

Oh, and Jimmy Graham and Rob Grownkowski say hi.

 

[Mr.Po]

Oh, and Jimmy Graham and Rob Grownkowski say hi.

They can say hi all they want but with this current team and offense structure he won't be close to matching their production much less targets.

 

[jnday]

You have a good point. This is not the Patriots offense. News flash..... Dallas has had more than just Witten at the TE position and they never have been able to make an impact. I.see the rookie TE as an eventual Witten replacement, not as an added offensive threat to be used at the same time with Witten.

That would be the equivalent of Dallas hitting the lottery. You should pray he's even half as good as those guys.

Haha...

I hope you aren't right, but one thing I don't like about this draft is all the emphasis on offense. The message is clear that they thought the only problem on defense was coaching while the offense simply didn't have enough talent.

I don't agree with that at all and it's scary that JJ could be thinking it.
