For years this team was relying heavily on the Parcells guys - Romo, Ware, Witten, Ratliff, Austin, etc.

Now they're steadily adding young talent like Smith, Lee, Carter, Claiborne, etc.

You don't have to hit a home run every draft but it's imperative that you don't strike out.

I don't disagree with you. I just wanted to make sure. Seeing somebody give credit to Jerry is kind of like seeing Haley's Comet. You need to do a double take to make sure your eyes are functioning properly.

Good point. They must have locked the liquor cabinet when they were trying to keep Witten's status under wraps.

No doubt the team has hit on some better picks recently. But remember, this is the same guy who gave up so much for Joey Galloway once upon a time...and then did it again with Roy Williams. I have no ties to the team, no experience in the talent evaluation game, and even I knew that had disaster written all over it. I mean, how much credit are we willing to give a guy who makes such an absurdly stupid move?

I honestly think Jerry's days of trading for wide receivers are over.

Oh and kudos to our scouting department for getting 1st round quality guys like Lee, Carter, and Murray for steals.

As much flack as we give the front office, gotta give em props on that move.
A steal talent wise? Yeah probably. But there is a big reason he dropped down to the 3rd round. And we are seeing it this year and last. You can't count on him at all to stay healthy. You can have all the talent in the world but it doesn't mean a thing if you aren't on the field.
