Cowboys awarded 4th, 2 5ths and 6th round comp picks

[Section446]

Morris Claiborne trade continues to look bad. In the end, we got a very late 6th round compensatory pick for the 6th overall pick in the 2012 draft.

LOL at fans here who thought he was better than Patrick Peterson.

Heck of a draft day trade Jerry.

Worst pick in modern history.

Look at it another way. We got 4 extra picks, the Giants get 1 and the rest of the division gets 0. Works for me.

And the reason for that is because we basically did nothing in FA and didn’t improve the team. There is a “cost” to getting comp picks.

And I am sure the Eagles would trade potential comp picks for their SB.

All the fans at the draft get 4 extra chances to cheer.

Meanwhile, after Drew Pearson last year, every single Eagles player/representative on that stage is going to rub our faces in it.

Every. Single. One.

 

[cowboy_ron]

Compile all our comps and move up to #1! Who’s coming with me?

Puff, Puff, Pass

 

[Vinnie2u]

Well the Draft runs thru Dallas! 10 picks and the event in Dallas. Who needs a super bowl when we got this!

 

[T-RO]

Yay comp 4th.
Come on down Skylar Green
Come on down Tashard Choice
Come on down Stephen Mcgee
Come on down Brandon Williams
Come on down Akwasi Owusu-Ansah
Come on down David Arkin
Come on down Matt Johnson
Come on down B.W.Webb

GO COWBOYS

Since Will McClay things have been different.

Here the talent landed these guys in the 4th-7th rounds past 3 years:
Ryan Switzer
Xavier Woods
Noah Brown
Dak Prescott
Anthony Brown
Kavon Frazier
Rico Gathers
Geoff Swaim

 

[Ken]

Good to see the negative nancies out in full force.

We have a boat load of picks, we have been very good in the draft...this is a good thing.

We now have flex to move in the draft or trade for a player. I likey.

Here we go with this fantasy notion that the Cowboys have been very good in the draft again.

Whenever we break it down it's proven that hasn't been the case.

 

[Risen Star]

Well, good for us.

We got the draftniks' top defender, yet we never bothered to visit with him.

That trade up along with the Carr signing, set us back. But at least we got Rob Ryan his cornerbacks.

I remember how horrible of a person I was saying the 2012 offseason was one of the worst in the Jerry era.

What a complete waste of resources. Any other front office would have been fired.

Meanwhile...our Defense got better purging a ton of salary and playing with a bunch of young players. Yup, destined for failure.

 

[T-RO]

What does that list mean to you?

It rationally means we get players that contribute in rounds 4-7

Dak is above average QB--despite what you think.
Brown is a very nice 3rd corner.
Frazier is pushing his way into PT
Rico might have something
Swaim has been plug and play contributor
Switz was on all-pro as return specialist and is just warming up

 

[Alexander]

Rico might have something

You are really really reaching with the Gathers thing.

Until he plays a regular season snap, I fail to understand how you can count that as a win.

 

[Risen Star]

Not that good a group of first rounders. Go look it up

Cowboys gave you good drafts in 11, 13, 14 and 16.

Let's check that out to see if it's true.

2011
1(9) Tyron Smith T USC
2(40) Bruce Carter LB North Carolina
3(71) DeMarco Murray RB Oklahoma
4(110) David Arkin G Missouri St.
5(143) Josh Thomas CB Buffalo
6(176) Dwayne Harris WR East Carolina
7(220) Shaun Chapas FB Georgia
7(252) Bill Nagy G Wisconsin

Two studs in Smith and Murray and not much else. They whiffed on their 2nd round pick and on day 3 of the draft they completely struck out minus a decent return man.

-

2013
1(31) Travis Frederick C Wisconsin
2(47) Gavin Escobar TE San Diego St.
3(74) Terrance Williams WR Baylor
3(80) J.J. Wilcox S Georgia Southern
4(114) B.W. Webb CB William &Mary
5(151) Joseph Randle RB Oklahoma St.
6(185) Devonte Holloman LB South Carolina

Frederick speaks for itself. Williams is an okay 2/3 in the league. Wilcox never developed. Another whiff 2nd round pick and nothing on day 3.

-

2014
1(16) Zack Martin G Notre Dame
2(34) DeMarcus Lawrence DE Boise St.
4(119) Anthony Hitchens LB Iowa
5(146) Devin Street WR Pittsburgh
7(231) Ben Gardner DE Stanford
7(238) Will Smith LB Texas Tech
7(248) Ahmad Dixon S Baylor
7(251) Ken Bishop DT Northern Illinois
7(254) Terrance Mitchell CB Oregon

Martin's an All Pro. Lawrence has 1 great year out of 4. Hitchens is just a guy and the only other player worth anything in that group turned into a player for the Chiefs.

-

2016
1(4) Ezekiel Elliott RB Ohio St.
2(34) Jaylon Smith LB Notre Dame
3(67) Maliek Collins DT Nebraska
4(101) Charles Tapper DE Oklahoma
4(135) Rayne Prescott QB Mississippi St.
6(189) Anthony Brown CB Purdue
6(212) Kavon Frazier S Central Michigan
6(216) Darrius Jackson RB Eastern Michigan
6(217) Rico Gathers PF Baylor

Everybody's OMG epic class that took a giant step back in year 2. There's no denying Zeke. He's a generational talent. Prescott's flaws and lack of skill were exposed. Collins and Brown regressed. Smith is still in a brace and a fraction of the player he was in college. Rico's making records. Tapper's in hospice. Hey, you got a nice special teams ace and box safety in the 6th round. The reports of this class' greatness have been greatly exaggerated.


The Cowboys have drafted well lately if, and only if, you want to believe that. If you really look at it objectively it simply is not the case.

 

[G2]

Can we make a "Comp" stew, throw 'em all in one package and do something?

 

[visionary]

All the fans at the draft get 4 extra chances to cheer.

Meanwhile, after Drew Pearson last year, every single Eagles player/representative on that stage is going to rub our faces in it.

Every. Single. One.

Bottom line is that any cowboys fan who STILL thinks that Jerry and Stephen have any idea how to build a championship team are totally blind or really really 'simple'

I don't see how that would make a dent unless your master plan is to trade up into the fourth or something.

 

[Nightman]

Church should've been a 4th and Claiborne a 5th but they only went with 5- 4ths this year and 12- 6ths

Last year they gave 11- 3rds and 3- 6ths

NCarroll and Paea had absolutely nothing to do with the comp picks and their placements

 

[Proximo]

Good to see the negative nancies out in full force.

Lame jokes and snarky comments galore. Welcome to the offseason, where those who are "happily unhappy" thrive.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Why WOULD we get good picks? I guess the league's scared we'll end up with another Dak.
