Thoughts on the Cowboys? I’ve seen 17 teams in the league so far in training camp, I don’t think I’ve seen a better one than Dallas. I haven’t seen NO and Green Bay and Minnesota yet, but Dallas has the most talent of teams I’ve seen. Especially at the skill positions, and by the end of last...

SAN ANTONIO - Don't count out this 2009 draft class. Remember? The Cowboys' 12-pick platoon that, unlike the famed "Dirty Dozen" in 1975, never really got its hands dirty last year? It was more of a developmental group to begin with. The highest pick, third-rounder Jason Williams, had...
