This isnt team with alot of holes. Makes no sense to accumulate late round picks. Dallas tried this years ago and players just didn't stick. Instead of accumulating 6th & 7th rounders why not angle for 5th rounder in 2020. D- after first three selections.

I'm happy to ultimately be proven wrong, but I'm giving this draft a solid thumbs down to this point. Missed opportunity after missed opportunity.

That title should have been finished after "it"

They aren't getting good grades except for first pick. I think they are forgetting priorities.

Striking me as being arrogant. Like they think they know better. When it looks like the exact opposite.

Safety and cornerback still unaddressed while they took two backups to sit behind the two best players at their position in the league in Elliott and Martin

:banghead:

This front office has earned my benefit of a doubt.

So, I'm not going to bash their decision-making as-if I would have done better.

But...

The point is well-taken that it doesn't seem there's much thought to trading this year's slot for the same round next year, as opposed to trading down.

But...

Did I mention this front office has earned my benefit of a doubt?

I'm trying to do the same but my faith is being sorely tested.

It's not worth getting bent out of shape at this point in the draft. You aren't going to be able to fill needs any at this point, and any player you draft that's even a marginal contributor is probably a better pick than 80-90% of the remaining players.

They’ve blown the draft really..


I think the lack of a first rounder really did a number on their enthusiasm for the draft just like it did with our fan base.

Our 2nd round pick was pre-meditated and they completely screwed up the 4th round.
