Bad picks have Jerry written all over them.Ok... so who's been in charge of these high round draft failures on the Dline..
Taco
T.Hill
Someone wanted them...who?

So if Marinelli is to blame for Taco and Hill, is he the guy to thank for Dak, Smith, LVE, Elliott, Gallup, Martin, Collins, Beard, Awuzie, Jones etc...
I don’t expect any improvement on the quality of the DL that are being drafted until Marinelli is gone. I think the type of DL that he prefers is outdated, to say the least. 280lb DL that has to face 330 lb offensive linemen every play is setting the whole DL up for failure. Undersized 1techs has hurt this defense for years. Remember the Golden Cock dominating? Of course you don’t, because it never happened. Dallas needs bigger, faster, quicker DLmen in the future. Hill is from Marinelli’s outdated mold as well and I have little hope for him. They need a quick 340lb one tech to start with and they need to build around him and the quality DEs that they have.
The entire organization is.
It is not just one guy.
At least today we have the assurance that the Great Will McClay is doing a deep dive into their process.
And that is kind of a bizarre practice at times.Exactly. The Cowboys aren't just handing things over to one guy and saying "you make the pick, and we don't care who it is". McClay and his group are involved, the coaches are involved, and the front office is involved. Ultimately whoever the pick is has to be endorsed by Jerry.

There is a lack of accountability in the organization.
A GM on another club may feel he could get fired for a first round bust.
Not Dallas. They all "collectively agree".
It is a great way to deflect criticism because the audience does not know who to throw the tomato at.
Talent, yes.Tell that to Aaron Donald. The reality is the Cowboys aren't the only team that doesn't have a 340 lb guy in the middle. Woods at 320 and Collins at 308 really aren't the small guys fans treat them as. The team really just needs more talent in the middle of the D-Line.
Gregory?Then Dlaw, Collins and Gregory are not good players?
NO, we didnt evaluate Gregory correctly.Is he a good player or not? Did we evaluate him correctly based on his talent?
Doesn't matter how good you are if you spend every Sunday watching the game from your couch because you have been suspended for the 145th time.It's either true or its not that Gregory was evaluated a good player coming out of college and that it is a fact that he is a good player. He not being able to play now has nothing to do with that evaluation of his talent coming out of college.
yeah and a 1st or 2nd rounder should show he can play and make some plays in his rookie season, if they make ,mistakes that is ok.And the same thing was said about Gavin Escobar, and Taco himself.
"Lol" indeed.
It's always a "rush to judgement" when it's critical. And then when those concerns are proven accurate, it's "time to move one, stop dwelling in the past".
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
I think everybody will agree that Donald is the exception instead of the rule. It is rare for a man his size to have his talents. The one tech has been a weakness for years and it is time to fix it with a big guy that can clog the middle.Talent, yes.
And it's not about size, it's about the ability to anchor.
