Can live with this assessment. 17-19 were "ehhhhh" drafts, at best.

@eromeopolk Nice list. Thanks for posting.
The 2021 draft is just plain amazing. 11 Players drafted and all 11 players made the team. 9 Are actively playing every week. Ball and Joseph are the two exceptions and they are basically chilling on IR-Short Term due to roster numbers in my opinion. Both Ball and Joseph could be very good in the future.
Has there ever been a team with more draft picks making the team in one year than the Cowboys with 11? Truly a home run draft.

Everyone? I have been raving about Will going back three or four years. Anyone can scroll through my post history if you want, have at it. And yes every GM and/or player personnel exec has had some misses. Just look at the great Bill Belichik or Parcel's for giving us Bobby Carpenter, he didn’t even want to draft Ware.

We have drafted well for quite sometime
and every team misses on picks ......we cant even use the Randy Moss one because more than 10 teams passed on him
Aaron Rodgers?
they had to take him in the back because he almost fell to the second round he was expected to go top 10 if not top 5
weve built a great team through the draft

A certain poster on here has made countless smarmy, sarcastic posts about all of the talent accrued over the years by McClay.
He’s been conspicuously quiet this year on the roster building.
That said, no one or no team is perfect and there are plenty of busts all over the league including Dallas, but the Cowboys have been very effective in the draft.
The 2021 could be the one that puts us over the top.

I agree. McClay has not been the target of many threads. I haven’t seen many complaints about McClay or the job that he is doing. It sounds like fake drama to me.

Overall, looking at the 3rd rounds and later I think the Cowboys got excellent value for their picks, regardless if that player was on offense or defense.
In the first 2 rounds though I'm not sure you could say that for the defensive picks, with the last two years being the exception (PLEASE BE GOOD Bossman).
Great picks down the line IMO for offense.
And the team IMO reflects that: Offense has generally been good while the defense has been up and down.

2017 isn't an F.
you made 6 picks starting at slot 28 in each round and found 6 NFL players.
1 starts for you, 1 has been a long term back up.
Chido is playing well elsewhere after giving you plenty of starts.
2017 is a realistic C- draft.
You guys are just spoiled.
Compare drafts over the last 5 years with any team in our division and we will beat them mercilessly which is why we are runaway favorites.

Give it up to McCarthy. He wants the best football players on the team and not just a scheme fit. That scheme fit stuff is for coaches who are stubborn and don't believe in adapting the scheme to best fit the players.

Very impressive list when you look at the holistic picture.
The biggest problem the Cowboys had was Jerry hanging on to old players and not playing the young ones to have them contribute or see if they can contribute.
