That's fine. Kiper knows little to nothing about the draft. If he doesn't have much good to say, then I feel better about the haul. Brugler has more knowledge in his little finger than Kiper is his entire oversized
empty brain.
Amen!

I tend 2 always go with the opposite of whatever Mel says. He is never right. CBS sports has a completely different take. Espn is agenda driven and biased against all things Cowboys.

I agree with you on Kiper but In this article they did mention how he rated the 2020 class 4th overall and last years top 10 so he’s not always slamming us.

I actually agree with him on points. All these guys have incredible upside but there is a lot of unknown

Lmao.

Isn’t the draft a bunch of unknowns and it’s based off potential???

Guarantee this draft has at least 3 starters by seasons end (Smith, Williams, Tolbert) and multiple role players.

you cant guarantee anything, its the draft they might all suck

They will start. I didn’t say Hall of famers
I think we will def. have special teams contributors and a small handful of starters/rotational guys, and yes, cuts. All teams whiff on picks. Camp tends to sort these things out. Micah as great a he is, we had 0 idea he was this talented and off the charts versatile until training camp last year. Then basically DQ was stunned! He was giddy. We cant judge this class until we get to camp and start seeing where they fit and what they can truly do. Watch this scrappy Fryfogle kid at wr. Just sayin.

every draft is filled with unknowns. Its darts man.
It can happen even to college elite quarterbacks taken in the top ten of the first round.

Didn't Sister Golden Hair Surprise (Trevor Lawrence) nevertheless disappoint relative to the Jaguars dysfunctional offense? He was the first pick of the first round. I won't go as far as stating he will be a bust, but some of his turnovers were quite reckless and stupid beyond rookie mistakes, like throwing into triple coverage on your end of the field.

He is 100% right. As Cowboy fans we want to defend our team but the draft was awful as bad as the off-season.

and those writing him off as a hater or idiot he loved our last 2 drafts. Was he an idiot then?
free agency was a different animal. That was terrible. The draft wasnt sexy, but we drafted physicality and need. Lets see what camp brings. Cant truly judge it yet....and Mel is a narcissist. Every now and again he gets it right.

I think he's a functional NFL QB but not even close to the level of Herbert for example.

i don’t think they are biased but…. They do know that Cowboys = ratings. So they play good cop Marcus Spears.. Bad Cop Stephen A. they looking for a reaction either way.

Even known Cowboy hater Prisco gave us a thumb’s up, and here’s another sign: many of the CZ Eeyores are strangely quiet.
Exactly! When Prisco gives us the ole thumbs ^, we must have truly done something right. I agree. Most outlets,except espn, are giving us solid draft grades. But like everything, I take the good and the bad with a grain of salt. Im all about getting to camp and THEN judging.

Dave Birkett Tweet from last years draft-"Mel Kiper: If the Lions stay at 7, they should look at WR over defense. Kiper said 7 is too high for Micah Parsons." Also didn't like it when we picked him wasn't super negative but wasn't positive either.

He his 50 50 at best. Risen is better than he is IMO
