Biggest Impact in Round 1 is on the Defensive Side of the Ball

Red zone efficiency is essentially a myth and an outdated concept. Because red zone success is primarily fluky, and typically judged on short samples. The only thing that matter is how a team's offense is overall. I'll start worrying about a lack of rushing TDs when the NFL starts awarding more points for them than passing TDs.

You could have had Tebow for a 4th round pick. Then you can run the single wing on the goal line and get as many rushing TDs as you want. A running qb will cause more rushing tds than a guard because you outnumber the defense.

Just wondering guys... did we get an impact player? Boy was I wrong about us getting Cox, but we got close enough.

I'm a bit sad about not being in the 2nd round, but we did ok and should be able to get back on track in the 3rd at least.

Yeah, I guess people forgot we the Cowboys gave up the second most passing yards in team history in 2011, one year after setting a club record for passing touchdowns allowed. Or that we gave up 3 4th quarter leads of 12 or more points, after only giving up 2 in the franchises previous 40 years combined.


Would not expect that to happen next year.

Yes, and don't forget the grocery store clerk who adds more mystery to the pick.
