How did we all feel after 2016 when we drafted Zeke, Collins, Dak, Jaylon, Anthony Brown and the great Charles Tapper lol? I remember the posts...not sure if it was form you but some said the best draft in the past two decades.

Dak alone would be a great draft.

No, you did. I correctly said it was horrific.

Jury's still out. You have two definite starters. One great and one who should be solid. A probable starting C and a maybe starting DT.

In a couple seasons they might lose a few of them because they overpaid Dak.
Or we might not
The cap is still growing
And we didn’t over pay dak
You have to pay market value or lose the player
The hardest position to replace in the league is QB
You get one you better keep him

And of course we might get obliterated by a comet, but I’m not gonna spend what precious time I/we have stressing over possibilities. You’ve heard of having the ability to “always find the silver lining”? You have that same skill—in the opposite direction!

2020 draft already looking like a great one.

Lamb
Diggs
Gallimore

Robinson
Biadasz
Anae
Denucci

Already 4 starters by the 2nd season. The Robinson was a head scratcher from the start.
Front office has a lot of issues.
Drafting is not one of them.

How in the hell is it close if Lawrence and Amari make on average 20+ each? Y'all say some of the most outlandish stuff on here just for no reason and then will press reply lol.
EXACTLY why I don't reply back. What's funny? I didn't reply about Dak making more, I simply replied about Dallas NOT "losing a few" recent draftees because of Dak's salary.

It simply went over their heads. I just move on shaking my head lol. They act as though Dak's the only NFL quarterback making good money. Sheesh!

Over paying the QB is Market Value. . . but it is still over paying. . the Fact that Dak cannot put a team on His back and carry it is a conviction against Him.

Every time Cowboys spotlight Dark we lose.

At this point it doesn't matter either way to me but stop with the BS.

We over paid for Him but we got to "KEEP HIM" which is all the Dak Fan Boys wanted.

Others are not Fans Of Dak more then we are Fans of the Cowboys.

Put You Dak Fan Boys want it Both ways . . . You wanted to keep your Hero and act as if it won't affect us keeping and acquiring talent.

You people are so disingenuous and when those of us point out the obvious trade off of Paying this Man all that money (LOSING PLAYERS) You all wanna attack us.

Dont worry the Honeymoon will be over after the year is over.

I can't wait to see who will be the escape goat this year

While I’m not a fan of giving ANY player such a large chunk of cash, and I’m still not 100% sold that Dak can lead us to the promised land, I still think we need to give it more time. It appears like we devoted a larger percentage of our cap than we should have, but we don’t know all the roster moves they can make to lesson the pain, how the yearly caps will play out, what contracts get restructured, etc., etc. My priorities are simple: be hopeful and optimistic and keep it light. Enjoy football, avoid stress, and center your outlook with logic and reason. Honestly, my priority is NOT endless debate, being “right” on internet fan forums, then being snarky about it to validate my views, and I’m not being facetious. I’m also not directing this at you or anyone else—just generalizing.

A declining RB after two years in the top 5. A complete bum LB in round 2. A jag DT and bust DE. Dak friggin Prescott and a depth corner.

Horrific draft. Welcome to what I already knew years ago.
You said NOTHING about Zeke being a bad player when we drafted him and you had nothing to say about Jaylon. Your issue was with Dak Prescott because you didn't "envision" him as the Cowboys quarterback because he didn't look the part. You wanted someone who looks more like.....Jason Garrett.....which is why you clinged on to Cooper Rush and Andy Dalton....and that crappy quarterback in Philly.

I considered this 2020 class the McClay-draft ,while i considered this recent 2021 class, the Dan Quinn draft.

Robinson wasn't a head scratcher with me, at the time he was drafted because he has the physical traits per size- speed, man coverage press skills and he collected 4 INT his final year -
as McClay was looking for INT ball hawks, but it became a head scratcher when it was announced he was being moved to safety, and even more of a head scratcher when he
simply the coaches had zero faith in him, ..not even as a special teams guy.

You think Quinn has say in who we draft?

When you have nothing, lie and see if that works.
