Curious what Philly’s strategy was. They seem to be trying to mimic what KC did. Throw a bunch of speedy, short WRs out there and then have Kelce wreak havoc.
C'mon Scrooge. You wanted Anae in the 4th, we got him in the 5th. Did you really hate the double dip at CB that much? You were talking 'A' heading into the day.
How did the Cowboys get a B+ and the Eagles got a B- that is flat out dumb. The eagles had the 2nd worst draft (behind the packers) and it’s not even close.
This is far more accurate: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl...-best-worst-classes/2bs9w101joku1lruu8r1xwt9f
True and I noticed that as well but with his statement about rocketing up draft boards I take that as he is letting us know he is apart of the group where the rocketing is legit and he put the stamp on Robinson with his most improved athlete comment in 2019. Either way still solid draft with talent on both sides of the ball. As a fan I’m just taking this as a positive move in the right direction this team held true to their draft board. For me I don’t care if you have a F grade or an A it’s what they do on the field that matters. Still walking around the house today with a smile on a pretty positive weekend. I just saw you have it as a A- so it looks like you have a smile as well. Thanks again for all the informational work you put into these drafts.He had Reggie Robinson 216th overall. I'm surprised he didn't rip them for that pick.
I’m not sure how you get a higher grade.
Every pick was rated higher than where we selected.
Filled every hole needed. Slot WR, CB, DT, CB / S, Edge, C.
But every pick wasn't rated higher for him. Diggs and Robinson were lower. Our 7th round QB didn't even make his top 300.
What would we do without Mel Kiper.?https://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2020/...per-all-32-classes-best-picks-steals-sleepers
Dallas Cowboys: B+
Top needs: DB, DE, WR, C
Jason Garrett, who had been the coach of the Cowboys since 2010, is gone after Dallas went 8-8, but you really can't blame the offense for what went down. Dak Prescott looked like a legitimate superstar. Ezekiel Elliott and Amari Cooper had great seasons. There are still a few stars along the offensive line, even if Travis Frederick has retired. It was the defense that was the big problem; Dallas had seven interceptions, tied for fewest in the NFL.
So I was pleasantly surprised Thursday night when the Cowboys stuck to their draft board and took the best player available, with wide receiver CeeDee Lamb falling into their laps at No. 17. "You can't have enough playmakers," new coach Mike McCarthy said. And I agree. Now Cooper, Lamb and Michael Gallup will form one of the most talented wide receiver corps in the league, and this offense should once again be one of the league's best. The Cowboys have made some upgrades on defense in free agency but still have holes. It's going to be interesting. But credit McCarthy and the Dallas front office for stacking a strength on a strength and deciding to figure out the defense on Day 2.
I wasn't as high on cornerback Trevon Diggs (51), but I'm fine with him in the middle of Round 2. He would have been a reach in the first round, which is where some teams graded him. Neville Gallimore (82) has some potential as a penetrating 1- or 3-technique tackle. Cornerback Reggie Robinson (123) was rocketing up draft boards over the past few weeks, and he was one of the most improved players in the country in 2019. Bradlee Anae (179) is one of my favorite Day 3 picks -- I had him ranked 89th overall and he went 90 spots lower. Dallas also added a potential Frederick replacement in Tyler Biadasz (146).
Again, credit Dallas here for sticking to its board and getting value. If Anae and/or Biadasz develop into starters, this could be an A-plus in a couple of years.

He seems to give the Ravens an “A” every year. They did well this year with names but I don't believe they drafted a star. They hit and miss like us for the most part.Mel was the lowest on Diggs that I've seen. Gave him a 3rd round grade. Actually had Gallimore rated a little higher.
He only gave out one A though. To his Baltimore Ravens.
Good choice. I thought Baun was gonna be are second round pick.I give it an A-.
I really wish we wouldve traded up to get Baun. Would be a perfect Sam in this defense and can get after the QB

His system is still in effect and Harbaugh is a good judge of football talent.Balty did have a nice draft. I’m amazed as I though a lot of that was Ozzie Newsome, but it’s just the same.
