C
Day one brings it up to a C
However during TC this will change, same for 3 years from now.

I was also thinking about making Polls for each individual pick, but I don’t want to blow up the forum with polls. So if yall into that idea let me know and I’ll make them over the next few days.

Great draft for us.

I think every pick makes the team this year. That's impressive considering we drafted 9 players.

 

[Jipper]

Id say B for Value, A- for needs addressed, sounds like a solid B+ that could go up if austin and jihad pan out...happy at the end of the day for sure

No worries. It eliminates the troll votes, cause no Cowboy fan is gonna give them an F.

 

[cowboyec]

B+.....with a chance to be an A.
don't hate any of the picks,personally.
I think we added 3 day1 starters in LvE,Williams and Gallup.
Armstrong,Schultz and Wilson could be special.
Love Bo.
curious to see Covington....dont think Ive seen an IU game in awhile.
Solid draft....cant wait to watch'em.

I thought we did a pretty good job. Another one of those years where we consistently found value. One of those years where I think most of the players make the team.

This team consistently fills holes in free agency that let's them draft pure. Dez and Witten situations could have seen them panic. They didn't. Signs of a strong draft culture.

 

[JackOfNoTrades]

surprised no safety picked, maybe something with ET is still in the works for a 2019 pick, etc

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Not enough defense. Can't really say much about the picks since I don't know much about them.

Mostly cause of Barbie Vander Esch, If I'm wrong the grade goes up quite a bit

I truly don't get the comparison with Vander Esch and Bobby Carpenter. He may not be Urlacher but he also isn't Carpenter either.

"A" grade draft!

I don't either.

I don't see Vander Esch as the kind that avoids contact... To me his biggest flaw is not being able to get off of blocks as efficiently as you would like.

 

[Sydla]

B-.

Some bizarre picks IMO.

 

[Hardline]

Too soon to tell. They haven't played a single snap in the NFL yet. Ask me again three years from now.

 

[Sarek]

I don't know enough about the players to give serious grade but in the spirit of playing along i went with a B-

I like the LB, haven't decided about the G yet, I think both WR's and the QB have potential.

Will the TE even play?

I got worried about them panicking with Witten retiring, glad they didn’t.

 

[LifetimeBoysFan]

Based on draft projections as a pro I say a B+. Based on reality it's an incomplete until at least this time next year, or 2020.

 

[RodeoJake]

Could be an A+ or an F- or somewhere in between. Kinda like drawing a bronc and hearing all its tendencies. You just never know what it's gonna do once that gate opens.
