2013 Draft Looking Great!

[ConstantReboot]

1. Travis Frederick, center - Starter. Possible probowler.
2. Gavin Escobar , TE - 1 TD already. Future starter.
3. T. Williams, Receiver - 5 TDs this season and counting. Made some big plays to move the chains.
4. J.J. Wilcox, Safety - Starter. Playing pretty well. Those big bombs downfield has stopped.
5. Joseph Randle , RB - Backup running back. Has made some big runs this year. See Seattle game.
6. Devonte Holloman, Linebacker - Injured this year but was doing well in preseason. Will be a productive player for us for years to come.

B.W. Webb looks like the only one that didn't pan out and was cut. At where we took Randle and being a backup to Murray, I think he's a STEAL (pun intended).

But looking at the rest of the players that we selected, it seems that Dallas did very well in the 2013 draft.

It sure does...but DeVonte Holloman retired.

It's nice to finally have a draft where we have not only starters but solid contributors top to bottom...

Great job by the scouts and everyone who is associated with that draft keep it up

 

[Dcowboy84]

definitely looks like a good class...Frederick and TWill are already great picks. Randle and Escobar are kind of "wait and see" how much they continue to contribute but definitely positive. and Wilcox is definitely showing good things considering his lack of safety experience.

Holloman is gone now he retired due to the neck injury so that's unfortunate

 

[Zordon]

steelers must not be the steelers of old if bw webb has made it 5 games on their active roster.

 

[Fletch]

Too bad for Holloman. He was coming on; no telling how good he could have become. Wish him well in life after football.

There secondary is atrocious.

Doh my bad. I thought it was just out for the year. Thats unfortunate.

Not drafted, but don't forget Ron Leary too. Getting a starting G after the draft is big.

He was 2012

Yeah that draft class is really doing well. Still not sure about Escobar overall. He probably actually hasn't progressed like expected. When you have a 6 person draft class and 3 solid starters from that class. That's a winning draft class there. Not many teams have that sort of success rate with 10 or 11 draft picks this quick.

Last years draft is already paying off for us as well. Hitchens looks like a decent LB, and Zack Martin is already getting praise as a top guard in the league as a rookie. We'll see how good DeMarcus Lawrence is soon. If he works out that's another solid class.

Escobar blocking alone has been an improvement. Right now it will be hard to feed him the ball very much when you have Dez, Witten, Williams, Beasley, Harris and the RB who are running and receiving. Main thing over any stat is going in and doing your job when your called on be it in the receiving game or making a block. Escobar has been doing that

You can't mentioned the 2013 class without mentioning Jeff Heath...


Nyuk, nyuk....

 

[Plankton]

Randle is looking like a real steal in the fifth round of the draft.....

 

[DTown214]

Only problem I have is that we could've taken Eddie Lacy in the second round instead of Escobar... then we wouldn't have to worry about paying Murray, even tho I'd love to keep Murray around. But imagine the 1-2 punch between those two. It'd be like a way better version of Julius Jones (Murray) and Marion Barber (Lacy)... and with this o-line? We'd be unstoppable.

He did play 12 snaps on defense against the Seahawks.

Murray is a very different style of runner than Julius. Murray can lay the wood as well.

 

[NickZepp]

I don't think Lacy is way better than Marion Barber. Lacy is overrated and overall not that good.

 

[NickZepp]

People forget how good Barber was for the first 4 or 5 years of his career.

Wow. Lol
