After looking through countless mocks and doing them myself over the past few months, I must say we have came away with one of our dream mocks that would never happen. This is the best draft we’ve had in quite some time. The zeke draft was great but we picked #4 so it was kind of hard to mess that pick up. We got a top 5 talent that fell to 17 and a top 20-25 talent that fell to 51! Ready to see these rooks develop
Couldn’t agree more. This draft went so well that everyone is shocked these guys fell into our laps

Let’s see how this turns out, but it could end being better than the famed 2016 draft. The Cowboys didn’t reach at any position, it was BPA up and down even into the later rounds. Now go out and sign Benito Jones, Kekoa Nawahine and Hunter Bryant. They only had 7 picks but I would have liked them to address tight end and safety.

They’re already significantly better but if they go out and make these signings, I think it could be the best draft class in decades.

A+ draft. It went better than I ever anticipated. My hat is off to JerryJones and his FO. Coach McCarthy, I can't help but think it was your influence that made this draft so much better. Congratulations to all of you. :clap:

We got lucky. Everything seemed to fall to us at the right time starting with the Lamb pick. The Biadasz and Anae picks were truly shocking.

I can see Lamb, Diggs, and Gallimore as being core members IF their heads are screwed on right and they want to become great. These guys all have the natural talent. They just need coaching and Lamb doesn't need much of that. The later picks are just good solid players, like Biadaz, who don't necessarily have the talent but have good work ethics.

biadaz was mocked as a first rounder prior to this season. Injuries pushed him down

I think Biadaz is a good pick but not to be TFred's replacement. He just isn't good enough for that. He isn't strong enough (and likely never will be) and isn't mobile. TFred was elite in both of those categories as well as being super smart.

Tfred biggest knock in draft was he was slow and immobile

I dont understand how this draft was any indication that Garrett's firing was justified. When it comes to HC's, their record pretty much determines this. The firing was more about a performance issue. The team culture did not emphasize an urgency and increased level of performance in the 4th quarter of close games

Ironically, many here were insisting that Garrett had very limited participation in choosing the players, it was McCoy and the Joneses.

Now that the team underachieved, the narrative had been switched to Garrett being a 21st century Ceasar whose authoritarian grip on the franchise has been dealt with.

I'm pretty sure the truth is somewhere closer to the middle.

I thought our first 3 pick were excellent, then I thought we might drop the ball, but NO! Our Later picks have been Awesome!
Everyone of these guys can contribute immediately.
I especially like the DE from Utah. Can you say intensity and technique. Polar opposite of Taco, and we got him in the 5th round.

Agreed! I really like all of our picks. We did well.

Homerun? Honey this draft was a grand slam. Did you know the last time Dallas drafted a wide receiver this early, they went on to win three Super Bowls.

We MAY have 2 or 3 impact starters in the first year! Surely 4 within 3!
