That means we wasted the top draft pick from the last 3 drafts essentially, assuming we let Amari
Cooper walk (which is very likely now).

2017: Taco Charlton
2018: Leighton Vander-Esch
2019: Amari Cooper

Factor in who we drafted after the 1st round, and it’s starting to look like a crippling series of draft classes. Chidobe Awuzie, Conor Williams, Trysten Hill, etc.

Our drafting trajectory is headed towards early to mid-2000’s...not good.

Or maybe we should feel bad for LVE?

Williams is far from a bad pick
It was a terrible pick. They used a premium pick on an injury prone player and then forced him at a position he's not suited for.

They literally got signficantly better play from Cooper/Leary who they didn't even spend a pick on for crying out loud.

Williams saving grace now is maybe being a swing tackle next year. You don't spend top 50 picks on freaking swing tackles (especially a team like the cowboys who need top picks to start since they refuse to get starter level free agents)

This is getting ridiculous. Where is it being reported that LVE's career is finished?
Nowhere.

But what is being widely reported is that he has spinal stenosis, is having surgery and another injury could end his career.

That should be troubling to most. But probably not if you are an obsessive compulsive diseased optimist like the ones who run this organization.

What a surprise. A team that can’t even get a coin toss right messes up while drafting. This team is a complete joke. I’ve seen clown shows more put together than this team :facepalm:.

I am starting to question why I still follow this team. I know, old habits die hard but I am completely sick and disgusted with being fed a bunch of high hopes every year to end up in complete embarrassment. Its a good thing I don't live in the USA. I would be utterly shamed and embarrased to wear any cowboys gear in public outside of Texas. I wonder how the business at Official Cowboys stores at DFW are doing? Still open? Are they selling Patriots gear as well just to break even?

All I want to know is whether this is Will McClay's fault.
The beauty about how Dallas does things is that it is all a "group effort".

So nobody is to blame.

Taco Charlton instead of Watt? Oh we all decided on that together. Trysten Hill instead of a variety of better players? Nope, we all talked about it and were aligned.

Everyone takes a bullet, nobody bleeds for it though.

Not sure that it is his fault that he may get blamed for it anyway but we all know who pulls the strings Jerry ain't fooling anybody but himself

What’s funny is MOST of you were in TOTAL lust with LVE last year. The fact is Cowboys fans on here are in love with you until you show any decline whatsoever, then they’re finished with you. I don’t always agree with him but, It’s no wonder Stephen A Smith hates Cowboys fans

You forgot Jaylon Smith instead of Myles Jack. Zeke instead of Jaylon Ramsey.
The one that pissed me off the most was Taco instead of the utterly obvious Watt choice.
