That's fine. Kiper knows little to nothing about the draft. If he doesn't have much good to say, then I feel better about the haul. Brugler has more knowledge in his little finger than Kiper is his entire oversized
empty brain.
Kiper should know about "too many unknowns". He's an idiot that "works" for espn.
He's the fortune cookie of the NFL draft.
Ask me in three years.
He is 100% right. As Cowboy fans we want to defend our team but the draft was awful as bad as the off-season.
and those writing him off as a hater or idiot he loved our last 2 drafts. Was he an idiot then?
Lol They drafted jake Ferguson and Mel was like “ugh I guess he can figure out how to put his shoulder pads on correctly. He could at least do that.”
Agree. I think we found 2 in UDFA's. The kicker and this Fryfogle kid. That would be 5 starters day 1. Thats pretty dang good.
WIS does not turn out TE's that can't block. They might not be the best at it but they can get in the way, Every player on the offense at WIS has to block, including the QB.And he was full of crap about his blocking ability. He made Ferguson's blocking ability out to be subpar, which everyone knows is rubbish. Ferguson's blocking ability is solid. Not elite, but solid, and that's what we need out of him.
Well that was disheartening

OF COURSE you do.The Draft Godfather has spoken.
I agree with him
The only thing these people do that is more useless than power rankings is draft grades right after the draft. And it is all based on their previous rankings prior to the picks. Pick my guy, I luvs ya.
The Cowboys went into this draft based on needs and they addressed them 1,2,3,4. Did they upgrade from the OG, DE, WR and TE they lost? Way too early to tell about that and right now, we do not even know how many of these picks and UDFA's will stick.
One thing I am concerned about is that they went into this draft with the same problem that has plagued this defense for years, stopping the run. I do not see that fixed with this draft class. And they will face teams that want to run. The league leader is in their own division. Their pick at DE is a pass rusher.
I do think they helped their run game because as rough as Smith might be, he's a more powerful force at the point of attack than Willams or McGovern were.
case and point. If we did a redraft of the 2021 draft, Micah would be the 1st overall pick or maybe 2nd. Mel isnt an expert.Dave Birkett Tweet from last years draft-"Mel Kiper: If the Lions stay at 7, they should look at WR over defense. Kiper said 7 is too high for Micah Parsons." Also didn't like it when we picked him wasn't super negative but wasn't positive either.
He his 50 50 at best. Risen is better than he is IMO
