Grading Cowboys rookies

[J12B]

Lamb - A
Future WR 1 of this football team.

Diggs - B+
Had some rough games but ultimately he contributed a lot and was relied upon a lot by this team. He gave up some plays but he was never a liability.

Gallimore - C
Showed up every now and then but was not a difference maker at all for the dline. Still think he can develop into a solid starter for this football team.

Biadazz - A
For a 4th round pick he played great when on the field. Could use some work in pass protection but his run blocking was excellent.

Robinson - F
Rarely saw him play and I'm not even sure he was active for most of the season. If he couldn't compete with Woods then he must have a long ways to go.

Anae - Incomolete
Again, never really saw him on the field. He plays a tough position at DE and with somewhat decent depth at this position with Gregory returning I'm hoping the coaching staff just wanted to see what Armstrong could do since he hasn't had much playing time in his first couple of seasons.

Dinucci - F
He sucks. He'll never throw another pass in a regular season game. Unless only him and Wentz end up being on the same team someday.

How would you grade this year's rookie class?

Lamb gets a B because he still dropped the ball at times. Biadasz gets an Incomplete because for some reason they Wally Pipped him for the bum Looney.

Not a good draft class, gotta do better this year.

Not a good draft class?

Hahahahahaha

 

[Batman1980]

We got 3 starters in Diggs, Biadasz and Lamb but Lamb is a wasted pick unless we're getting rid of Cooper or Gallup.

Yeah 3 starters = not a good class..we were supposed to get 15 new starters in the draft

Id go

Lamb - B
Diggs - B
Gallimore C+
Biadasz C

The rest? Who cares

Lamb/Diggs can easily become A grades with a step up next year. Gallimore was a late bloomer, but showed he can be a force in the league. Similar with Biadasz, wish he got more reps, but he showed promise. I'd be shocked if he didnt start at C 2021. Really all four of those could become A/B grades.

Lamb: Has the knack for finding holes in zones and ball skills that you can't teach. Destined to be an awesome downfield receiver. Made some mistakes this season, but they're mostly correctable. He should be lined up for a monster year 2.

Diggs: Played a lot better after his injury than before it. Like Lamb, he has ball skills you can't teach. Not sold on his long speed, but he's shown signs of having some real game.

Gallimore: Picked it up hugely in the back half of the year as well. Has some real talent stuffing the run and can rush the passer. Will probably go into next year as the starting 3 tech.

Biadasz: Not sold on him. He showed more game than your average 4th round rookie does, but I don't know if his pass blocking will develop to starter level.

Robinson: If he played, I didn't see it.

Anae: Looked good whenever he got the chance. For a 5th round rook, just showing signs of life is plenty.

DiNucci - Well below replacement level; Garrett Gilbert showed up off the street and outplayed him easily. Not long for the league.



So far, I'd say Lamb is the only surefire future starter we have, but we have 4 guys that could easily turn into quality starters if they build on their rookie seasons. If you look back on past drafts, getting 2 good starters usually makes for an above-average class, so hitting on 4 picks would be killer.

 

[ClappingCarrot]

I didn't mind this rookie class. We seemed to have found four starters, since Gallimore got a lot of reps this season.

Don't think Lamb was an A or Diggs was a B, but they had solid rookie campaigns. A lot to build on.

You get two starters out of a draft and its a success, you get three you should be thrilled. I wouldnt sleep on Gallimore either.

[Pantone282C]

Eye test says the draft class was the best in some time.
5 of 7 are quality players who started, made splash plays, or came up big in replacement.

Cedarian Lamb
Tyler Biadasz
Neville Gallimore
Trevon Diggs
Reggie Robinson

Lol Lamb wasn't a wasted pick. He made an impact this year and the Cowboys needed a 3rd receiver to replace Cobb. Also Gallup has 1 year left and could very well price himself out of Dallas.

We need a wall at DT, not another slasher. Too many slashers at DT is 1 of the reasons teams run the ball so successfully against us.

A real 1-tech DT has not been drafted nor given a chance.

Eh, too many bad players is why we are so bad against the run. Get you a wall at 1T if you want, but Gallimore is exactly what you want in a 3T. 310 pounds with explosion.

Even the giant 350 pound DTs dont work the same in this league. You need do it all types anymore, not one trick ponies. At least get a pair of DTs that compliment each other. Olines are too adaptable, and blocking schemes have evolved. If a team knows a guy just shoots gaps theyll play your aggressiveness against you and let you over run the play. You get bigger power players teams will move the line and get them out of position. Poe could sit there and be a wall all day, but teams just worked around him with ease.

How would you grade this year's rookie class?

I would give Lamb a B+, an A would have to be the year Justin Jefferson had. Overall pleased with his contributions though.

Diggs gets a B, ups and downs but led the team in Ints, passes defensed in 12 games he played. Think he has a bright future.

Biadasz started what 5 games? Can't give him an A. When he played though he held his own, but couldn't take the job from Looney.

Robinson I would give an incomplete, the rest I agree with.

Jefferson deserves an A++++

 

[Batman1980]

Especially when you consider he didn't begin the year as a starter and who's throwing him the ball.

How do you get 3 starters and say it’s not a good draft class lol?

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Cousins is very capable of throwing the ball. He’s had 1k receivers all throughout his career.
