Cowboys Got Great Draft Value This Year

[Verdict]

How many times he gonna run 40 yards? his 10 yard split was above average

Slow guys are handicapped from the start. Makes it harder to succeed.

Gallimore was the 3rd of 3 excellent draft picks. Gallimore will prove to be a quality investment.

Reading on GAllimore is interesting......seemed like going into the college season he was considered one of the best DT prospects...

 

[MRV52]

Gallimore will shock all of you.

I really think this draft had Big Mac written all over it. "Get me the best players available and we'll find a way to use them."

Hard to say for sure but it's definitely a possibility. One thing for certain, I've watched a lot of drafts through the Garrett years go to waste. But suddenly this draft with Garrett out of the picture turned out to be the most impressive draft class I've seen for the Cowboys.
A mere coincidence? Hmmm.

 

[TheHerd]

Agreed. I think he maybe a huge find. If it wasn’t for his forty I don’t think he drops this far.

Love that.

 

[TheHerd]

Haven’t been this happy after a draft in awhile. Good job Cowboys FO, McClay, and MM and staff. Can’t wait until the season starts.

I feel like they finally drafted their board instead of letting old man River let them take those no production DL pet projects

As it should be
You have to factor need but the most important thing is talent
It’s easier to find a different way to use a talented player than to make a bad player better

I think it similar to what we have done with that exception
You can’t make a guy with no heart into a player

 

[CowboysDrew]

Yeah, I think Anae had the most overall value for spot available.

However, Dallas got a half to a full round better value on most of their picks.

It was a talented draft but the boards fell just right to have the Cowboys needed talent also be BPA when the time came. Can't think of the last time that happened considering Dallas was in the middle of the round.

 

[Williamsboys]

Can anyone explain the difference between the previous two drafts and this one?? Why such a big discrepancy between them, light the brass really cared about doing it's homework and it paid off. We have the same people , wonder if Mike McCarthy had some influence on our picks??

 

[Verdict]

His 40 time is probably why he fell. The same was said about Taco. Let’s hope that the result is better with him than Taco.

For the record, I like the value of the pick, as much as you do. But I try to keep it real.

 

[big dog cowboy]

The Cowboys with each draft pick? They did this!!!

CRUSHED IT.

One after another, after another, after another......

I think it has happened before but the Cowboys were not as consistent in sticking to their board. They did do that last year with Connor McGovern.

 

[Doomsdayblitz]

The top 3 picks are great value, but the best value of the three may be Gallimore. I really think he was highway robbery in the middle third round.

That's what the draft is all about-value. No one got better value in this draft than the Cowboys. Best draft in years!

 

[Outlaw Heroes]

Anae was probably the biggest steal. Picked 179th and is a guy that can compete immediately. Everyone had him graded 3rd round pick the latest

I think a better way to measure how big a steal we got is to use the Draft Pick Value Chart and measure the points differential between where the player was expected to be taken (roughly) and where they were actually taken. This would confirm that CeeDee was our biggest steal, which better accords with intuition in my view.

We had so much value this draft you could pick all our picks 1-5 lol

Thats what happens when you go BPA and not reach for need.

No this is what happens when other teams help you get lucky and your needs line up with BPA.

 

[Verdict]

yea Brugler said on air that we got Anae almost 100 picks from where he had him on his board....

There was a reason he fell. Other teams passed on him and allowed him to fall that far.

A guy can fall 15-20 picks based on circumstances beyond that player’s perceived value. But they won’t left him fall 100 draft spots unless all the teams are evaluating him lower than Brugler.

Brugler may be spot on with his evaluation (and I love hearing that sort of stuff) but his 40 time most likely was the reason he fell.

 

[Verdict]

Lol. Ok. If you say so.
