2011 NFL Draft: Boyz Need Starters

I think the first three picks has to Start or they failed in their evaluations. These first 3 picks are in the top 75 in an overall deep class with all the top Juniors added. There is simply no excuse that at least the first 3 shouldn't walk-in and beat out what's on this Cowboys Roster in several positions. I feel very strongly that 1 New DL will start and at least 2 in the Secondary, so I don't know how you think only 2 will start because in my opinion that would be a flop.

1-OL, 1-DL/OLB and 2-Secondary, There's your 4 spots !!!

Well you can look through our recent history of draft picks and know that we haven't drafted 4 immediate starters in a very long time. Maybe this is the draft we can do it, but we haven't done it in recent times. Even the 2005 draft (we had 2 first round picks that year), probably our best draft of this century for us yielded 5 eventual starters, but they weren't immediate starters.

Some draft picks have to develop, we can't just expect to draft a guy and him fill a role immediately especially if your talking 4 players in the draft. We are still a good team, and thinking that a 4th round pick will start for us is a bit extreme.

or two OL, RT and OG, 1 secoondary(I don't see two starters in the secondary in this draft) and one DL.
