I think that all of the draft picks will make it. That will give them 8 and 1 on the PUP list to start the season and I think that 3 UDFA guys will make it. I think that Garibay, Bell, and the center from Boston College will make it. That will give them around 20 players that are in their 1st or 2nd year and they should have around 9 draft picks next year and Clark will be on the team as well. I like how they are loading up with the young players,

They should, I don't see how they wouldn't.

You can’t be making that call when you haven’t seen them in OTA’s, training camp or preseason. The Cowboys value experience. In 1975 the Cowboys had 12 rookies make the team but they had a lot of aging players. We don’t have near the age on this current team. We have a number of 2-4 year players we’re still developing.

Which is more of statement of how poorly the roster was put together before the draft than it is about how great Dallas actually drafted. I like some picks, but any time an entire draft makes your roster, you have much greater problems.

All 10 made it last year. Maybe 1 or 2 of them will get cut from last year, but I think all of the new draft picks will make it.

I don't think that it was poorly put together. I think that they did it on purpose and know what they are doing.

Ah, the old "bait and switch". Suck on purpose to make things better in the future.

You think they put the roster together poorly on purpose?

Goodness, how can you be so lost? You're Stockholm'd.

Not likely
Someone will get a medical red shirt if not more
That’s the second PS lol
A couple will be on actual PS
All the draft picks who are healthy could make the team though

No. I don't think that they put a poor roster together. I think that they have a good roster and will win the division again. You can't even read.
You also said in another post that we "upgraded" from last year, but went on to predict that we have less than 12 wins.

Here in reality an upgrade means better, not worse.

I don't think you have any idea about anything.

Someone here posted the recent draft numbers on this. It’s old school to think half our draft picks will be gone. Or even a few. And no, I don’t think it’s all because we have terrific drafts, or because our roster stinks. I just think it’s because the NFL is all about parity nowadays and talent levels are much closer than they used to be.

I think that it makes sense to have a team loaded with 1st and 2nd year players with the way the league is currently set up. It caught my eye that the Cowboys are trying to build the team that way.
