Oh boy....the memories lol......but I stand by this to this day.....Cowboys signing Brandon Carr and drafting Mo Claibonre made complete sense and I'd do it again. At the end of the day.....I Think those injuries every single season in training camp hurt Mo more than anything. Mo was a hell of a corner in college.

Stupid to judge people this way.
Almost everyone thought Claiborne was going to be an elite NFL corner and going by his college tape you would've been a fool to not have that projection.
His only red flag was his wonderlic.
This is just pure hindsight / Monday Morning Quarterbacking.

Agree. Just goes to show that the draft is a gamble.

Only in Dallas would you pay $50m for one corner and give up huge draft capital for another to run a press man scheme. Only to scrap that scheme and change it completely the next year. Every GM not named Jones gets fired for such inept team building

I remember when we drafted Witten and people were upset we didn't draft Lee Suggs.

You're not lying. Even with the wonderlic that wasn't stopping me from drafting Mo......I really didn't see that coming.

For Mo it wasn't. He walked in, signed his name, turned around and walked out. He knew taking that meant nothing.

If it were to do with the team like he is retiring as a Cowboy I could understand, otherwise this is just straight nonsense being in the fan zone. Even overtimezone is a strange.He was a Cowboy Karen.

The problem with the Claiborne pick is what we gave up for it.
Horrible and costly move to trade up for him.
As for Mel liking MoClai, a lot of people did.
Not saying Kiper is the best, but even the very best miss on a TON of prospects.

Fair enough but it’s a total 2nd guess and the pick at the time was rock solid.

Yeah, that's my point. The draft is a gamble.
