After you consider the positions, the players must be considered next and they are connected as that's why the Lions kept picking WR's first, they were missing on the players.
What is surprising are the positions following WR's but that also relates to where they were picked. They haven't taken a DT high since Johnson picked Maryland or gone for a blue chipper in FA since Parcells got Glover. They simply do not place a high value on the DT position.
Booger is just following the ball and the money. What position is the most exciting in the game? WR Offense sells tickets and garners attention and he is concerned about putting an entertaining product on the field.
Therein lies the rub between owner and GM. All of the owners want an entertaining product; all the GM's want to win. I'd like to see a draft where no one but the owners picked in the 1st round. How many D players do you think we'd see?
One of the great bafflers for me here is the McClay love and this idea that the Cowboys are this top 10 drafting team. I see comments about players making the team or starting. What's the end result? There are a lot of players that could start on the DAL defense and many are backups on other teams.
The problem with the Cowboys acquiring players, draft or FA, is that they treat it like a checklist. Need a DT, OK, got one, check that one off the list. Wait a minute, not so fast. How good is he? They've been addressing the DT position from a positional standpoint, they don't have the players. I know some of you get excited about Gallimore, just like some got excited about Tapper. Remember him and all that "he needs to play more!"
Some here have that same ailment that Booger has. Whoever the player is automatically becomes better because he's a Cowboy and every player wants to be a Cowboy. This "talent" perception is a true mystery to me.
