My daughter got married this weekend and as a result, I didn’t see much of the draft. I caught the first round and that is about it.
I see several different schools of thought going on here, which are lumped into a few categories:
1. The Cheerleaders. Every pick was wonderful. Home Run.
Me:
That’s doubtful, but OK
2. The Cowboys suck. Jerry never does anything right. I have never heard of any of these guys. They must suck because I haven’t heard of them.
Me: You didn’t know about any NFL players at some point in time.
Also me:
On the other hand it IS frustrating as hell when the Cowboys pick a no name player over a guy everyone has heard of and expects to be a hit, and later on the no name gets cut, while the named player does what we expected him to do—succeed.
3. I love the fact that we addressed defense with almost every pick, our defense sucked last year.
Me: Hmm. What are the odds that a defender was the best player available at each of the first seven picks. Not likely. I smell reach.
4. The Cowboys draft totally sucks.
Me: Shouldn’t we at least wait to see what comes from this draft class before we declare it a bust?
5. I LOVE THE PARSONS PICK.
Me: Slater WAS on the board. He was also highly ranked. The talking heads and most people on the board had him rated higher. CW sucks. What happens when CW yells “Ole’” and Dak is out the rest of the year. Can Parsons play T or G?
I’m partly poking fun here. I knew that this year the ratings of the players would be more diverse than ever because of the opt outs and the limited playing time some players had. But it doesn’t make me feel any better that most of the players we picked in 2-4 screamed reach.
I guess its a wait and see game, as it always is, but I feel pretty uneasy about the 3rd round picks especially. We passed on what seem like really good players to draft some people I haven’t heard much about. I hope the Cowboys know a lot more than I am worried that they know.
