I would like to see the Cowboys be a little more aggressive in the middle rounds. Last year they had 3 3rd round picks and I was hoping they would move up and maybe grab Milton Williams.
This year they had 4 5th round picks and instead of moving up at certain points to grab guys who fell. I am pretty sure they could have moved up in the 3rd and grabbed Dean ahead of the Eagles. Even if it cost them 2 5ths, so what? They did not get anyone special in the 5th.
If you are not going to use Free Agency to sign good players then you better make sure you get good players in the draft.
They don't do any of that. You just named a few examples. I was thinking the same thing last year too. Sometimes players fall within reach. They don't reach out.
Next year looks like we don't lose much to FA, so this is where they can get ahead with the draft. This year is just getting back to status quo. Thibodeaux could have fell to pick 20 and the Cowboys would stay put. I'm not saying this is a bad method. I just don't like it every year and regardless of the situation.
