Just last year we had absolutely no business getting a Blue Chipper like Dez. You see this every year.

Yeah that's is true and another thing to note is that in 2003 the Cowboys had no business drafting Witten, in the 3rd round when he was the #1 ranked TE in that entire draft so those type picks you mentioned will happen.

A lot of people got cute that year and took a bunch of TE's before Witten...

Eagles chose LJ Smith. Couldn't believe it.

The Colts had the opportunity to draft Witten, in the 1st round but chose Dallas Clark instead not a bad pick at all with the career he's having in Indy when he's healthy.

The mock drafts are what they are and we really don't know who is going to go where until the combine and pro days are completed some picks does make you scratch your head sometimes like when the Dolphins in the 2007 draft took Ted Ginn Jr with their #9 pick in the 1st round.

As you said alot of teams will get cute and draft players for the sake of drafting them.

Watt is exactly what that Defense needs. He plays MEAN. I don't know about him at #9 though. Dallas could probably trade down and nab him.

That was that idiot Cam Cameron drafting a family friend. He should have been fired the second he made that pick. That was solely done for personal reasons and not with the teams best interest.

Wow I didn't know that.

Another pick I questioned when the Raiders took Darius Heyward-Bey, over Michael Crabtree in the 2009 draft with their #8 pick in the 1st round and then the 49ers took Crabtree at #10.

Don't forget these mock drafts (at least concerning the cowboys) always tend to forget that dallas will take a player or two from the 4th round to the later rounds that most people have never heard of.

That's true too like they took Ansah in the fourth of last year's draft and I never heard of the guy until of course he was drafted.

Really? You must not have frequented the Draft Zone last year, more than a few folks were mocking AOA to dallas anywhere from 3 through 5.

You knew about AOA but I didn't well I did see his name in the mock drafts but that was about it as far as a player didn't know much about him at that time.
