Cowboys Rank Next To Last In Brugler's Draft Class Power Rankings

[Alexander]

31. Dallas Cowboys
2019 draft class
2 58 DT Trysten Hill
3 90 OG/C Connor McGovern
4 128 RB Tony Pollard
5 158 CB Michael Jackson Sr.
5 165 EDGE Joe Jackson
6 213 SS Donovan Wilson
7 218 RB Mike Weber
7 241 EDGE Jalen Jelks
Favorite pick: Connor McGovern, OG/C, Penn State
The Cowboys drafted a higher-rated player in the third round than the second round. McGovern has experience at center and guard and gives the Cowboys a nasty run blocker with upside as a pass protector. His versatility will give the Cowboys options up front in the future, like possibly moving Connor Williams outside to tackle.
Questionable pick: Trysten Hill, DT, UCF
Without a first-round pick, the Cowboys weren’t going to be high on this list, but it is understandable why many fans aren’t excited about Hill, their top pick in the draft. He butted heads with coaches (and teammates) at UCF and needs time to develop. This pick felt like a reach because of their desire to land a high-upside three-technique in a draft with limited options at that position.
Day 3 pick who could surprise: Michael Jackson Sr., CB, Miami (Fla.)
Jackson was thought to be a top-100 pick over the summer, but he didn’t quite have the senior year many expected with only six passes defended and zero interceptions. But the size/speed traits are worth betting on in the fifth round, and defensive assistant Kris Richard has a track record of developing long, speedy corners into quality contributors.

You must have a bot that scours the internet for negative stories on the Cowboys because that’s all you post is negativity.

You can't rank a draft until the season unfolds. Seriously.

You can't rank a draft until the season unfolds. Seriously.

In terms of determining outright success and failure, perhaps.

But this is more about his own perceived value as it stands right now based on his final rankings. It is just an opinion.

So you have several choices, either ignore any speculation until the season is over and just wave a towel or you can look at what it looks like based on perceived value.

Chances are pretty good if the grades were an A+++++++++ from Brugler, there will be very little talk of just waiting and seeing after the season.

Perhaps? No, it determines nothing.
The funny thing about these predictions are that fans get use the "I told you so" excuse when a player flops, but tuck their tail if they're completely wrong.
Either way, No one knows how a drafted player will do and that includes ranking a draft well before a snap has been taken.

@Jake

I can only think you take Brugler's opinion "with a grain of salt" as well

 

[DFWJC]

I think the outlets or people who gave Dallas better grades--which was nearly everyone else--gave them at least partial credit for the Cooper trade.
I fully agree that you can't count him as a draft pick, but an honest assessment may at least take the use of that pick to get him into account. So partial credit.

I do think we reached hard on both Hill and Pollard.

Overall, I don't mind the players that we took, but we maybe could've been more efficient value-wise.
Honestly, people keep saying was it either Hill or Thornton (or other)….
I think it could've been Thornton AND Hill

Brugler is an idiot.

Who? Did he stay at the Holiday Inn Express?

 

[Outlaw Heroes]

Brugler is among the most knowledgeable draft analysts out there so his opinion should carry some weight.

But the thing is, I heard Jeremiah pimping Hill as a possible pick as early as the top of the second round during NFLN’s coverage of day 2. So opinions on where he should have been drafted obviously vary.

Jeremiah had him at #55 in his final top 100.

Why?
Just because he is knowledgeable on draft analysis of players does not make him always correct. It doesn't mean his ranking should carry the same weight.
Kiper is supposed to be a draft expert also, but look how often they all turn out to be wrong.

Not saying Dallas should be ranked in the top 10 or anything like that, but no way are the #31.

 

[Reality]

Outside of the Ezekiel draft, I think most analysts rate the Cowboys' drafts poor to average at best every year.

I would actually be more concerned if analysts said the Cowboys had an awesome draft.

 

[TexasHillbilly]

Brugler is an idiot.

At least we know how our #1 pick is going to perform. We got a rehearsal from 2018. Not many teams get to do that.

Opinions from Brugler are just that. I am jealous though. I would like to get paid to guess who is going to be good and who is not. Great way to make a living.

 

[WillieBeamen]

Brugler is an idiot.

There it is.


Criticize this team, get called an idiot. If he gave us an A, would he still be an idiot???

We know the answer to this question.

And it is not just him. It is any pundit.

God Himself could give us a C and you would see a ton of atheists suddenly pop up around here.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

A playoff team w/o a first pick........what you expect? I like our draft, nothing sexy or flashy but I think a few of the players will surprise some 3-4 years from now.

He and Risen have to be related.

 

[cowboyec]

interesting....yet he mocked Trysten Hill to us leading up to the draft.
we'll see.
