They screwed up on Taco and Mo.....I hate these type of tweets. Its like guys sit around and wait for something to knock them for. Go look at the Patriots first round picks since 2012.........didn't stop them from winning rings. Check out the Eagles too. Got themselves a ring.

Only really terrible pick was Taco.

Mo was decent but we gave up so much draft capital is what hurts
Yeah Mo never lived up to that draft stock but it would've been a decent miss if they didn't give up so much for him. Instead, they not only missed out on some guys they passed up but gave up a pick to do it.

Mo's career was hurt by the Jason Garrett/Dallas Cowboys defensive system. It put every db who played in it at a disadvantage every Sunday.

lol,,, outside of the President I don't think there's a human alive that receives more blame for every imaginable short-coming than Garrett. Mo sucked because Mo sucks.

They drafted him to be a man coverage corner in Robs defense then the following year they switch to Kiffin, known for the tampa 2 defense. Odd

For him to suck though...he should be out the league by now like a lot of other guys.

Mind you he never sucked in Dallas. He was just injury prone. There was a while he never even had a healthy training camp. He's managed to still be in the league to this point.

Nobody gives a damn about your draft pick history when you win superbowls.

Agreed. Claiborne didn’t suck. He wasn’t top 10 pick all pro level. But he was a quality starting CB when healthy. Unfortunately, he was just never healthy.

Throughout Garrett's entire tenure as HC (2011-2019) we were dead last in INTs and among the worst in comp percentage and qbr allowed. 9 full seasons of data speaks for itself.

Just think back to this time last year and how the descriptions on that list are significantly different.

2012: Morris Claiborne (gone)
2013: Travis Frederick (All-Pro Stud)
2014: Zack Martin (All-Pro Stud)
2015: Byron Jones (Good but not great)
2016: Ezekiel Elliott (ProBowl, 2x rushing champ, Stud)
2017: Taco Chartlon (Bust, Marinelli's doghouse)
2018: Leighton Vander Esch (Stud)

Yep and I know he's a Chief now not sure if he's a starter but his career starting off like it did screwed him. That was the time for him to develop and never could with those injuries.
