Wrong to compare this draft to 2009?

Spent the rest of the time drafting backups/potential future starters and special teams guys.
Hope not. But I see McGovern being inactive all season unless they cut silo

Way too premature.

Hill is very talented. It’s his maturity that’s in question.

McGovern probably won’t be inactive. Sua’filo isn’t really even that good for real. He is just a JAG.

McGovern is drafted to be a starter for the team by next year. Overrated La’el Collins will be gone and fresh blood brought in.

I actually love the McGovern pick. I recognize it’s not an immediate need. But it’s putting the effort in, to keep our offensive line the strength of the team for the long run. McGovern is going to open holes for Zeke. I guarantee that.

We don’t even know what these players can do

We just don’t like the picks I don’t like the picks

Last time I like the picks we made we drafted Morris Claiborne I also liked the Bobby Carpenter pick....

I hated the Travis Frederick pick
I didn’t even know who LVE was
I was meh on zack Martin
I didn’t want jaylon smith

This question can only be properly answered in 3-5 years from now. Not today and certainly not with 4 rounds remaining in this draft...

What 2nd and 3rd round picks have started from day 1 and made a big difference lately?

Gallup showed something, but he was probably a liability early on, same with Williams.

Same thing with these two guys. They will be full time starters next season and rotation or quality backups this year. Great for 2nd and 3rd rounders.

That was a completely different draft....was focused on special teams players...so far we have picked up two guys that could be starters this year or next

Let’s not forget that we actually did use our 1st round pick. That’s why we have Amari Cooper.

Williams was a high ceiling low floor player who couldnt get off the floor. Brewster was a huge reach. After that the draft overall went very thin.

I wish 99% of the posters were as honest as you. Refreshing.

I hope not too. I think we should have picked Adderley at 58 because I think Hill would have been there at 90. No way it works the other way around. If Hill doesn't make it, take Knox. To me, Adderley and Knox have a better chance at working out. But I still think the two we picked will turn out better than 2009.

I think the first 3 picks will stick and may play this year. Everyone I don't know. Also don't forget the Cowboys will loose a lot of players next year.
