2023 draft picks have contributed nothing to this team

[LonnieElam]

We're so used to that P.OS Jerry, anyone slightly better is viewed as a God. Us being the best drafting team is a joke. Just stop.

Watch out for Schoon later this season

McClay has killed it over the years, the disrespect....just wow.

I should be banned from following the cowboys anymore. Ya know…. As punishment…..

 

[Gambit]

Contributed to a above average team not - CLEARLY - a championship team but then those who bleat about season wins care not for actually winning it all.

Can't win it all without in season wins, random factoid to keep you up at night.

This doesn't bode well going forward.

And we keep hearing how well the Dallas draft have been in recent years. The past many years, the 2nd rd picks have been complete busts. You can say Diggs but outside that. Booms

The draft picks you listed were Mazi, Schoonmaker, and Richards. What have they contributed?

Mazi helps stop the run. He has played in every game. Schoonmaker has 1 touchdown and he has played in every game and has provided blocking. Richards has played and is a backup. Also the 7th round receiver Brooks has also played some and been on special teams. The other rookies Aubrey, Bass, and Luepke have contributed a lot .

Cool story

Give em time

 

[JoeKing]

Overshown on IR and Schoonmaker has been limited by injury but both of these guys are great draft picks and have a great future ahead.

 

[PAPPYDOG]

McClay has killed it over the years, the disrespect....just wow.

Tell us how he killed it.
Parsons fell into their lap after the DB went to Denver.
Diggs CB is the name that pops up beyond him tell us how is he killing it????

When a team is stuck with a GM who doesn't see the need for proactive roster building, you can't field a championship team. It's a situation of a built-in disaster being guaranteed from one year to the next. As long as Jerry Jones insists upon being blind to the sad truth of his and his cheap son's incompetence, the Cowboys will be doomed to mediocrity. If that's not enough to convince one and all of the plight facing this franchise, it's a lost cause for a highly productive season to ensue. Changing the staff as a solution makes success even more unlikely. Sadly, it's just the awful truth.

This doesn't bode well going forward.

So, you hate Will McClay?

Since McClay was given even more influence in the draft process following the team's subpar (and controversial) 2017 draft, the Cowboys have been among the best drafters in the NFL. During that time, they have landed players like Leighton Vander Esch, Connor Williams, Michael Gallup, Dorance Armstrong, Dalton Schultz, and Cedrick Wilson (2018), Connor McGovern and Tony Pollard (2019), CeeDee Lamb, Trevon Diggs, Neville Gallimore, and Tyler Biadasz (2020), Micah Parsons, Osa Odighizuwa, Quinton Bohanna, and Israel Mukuamu (2021), and Tyler Smith, Sam Williams, Jake Ferguson, DaRon Bland, and Damone Clark (2022). That's half of the team's expected starters in 2023, as well as five more players who were previously starters but moved onto other teams.

All of which is to say there's a reason why, when McClay speaks in the draft room, what he says carries a lot of sway. So it should not be surprising that when the team was on the clock with the No. 26 overall pick, McClay was able to bring Cowboys brass along to the selection of Michigan defensive tackle Mazi Smith, whom the team was considering alongside an offensive guard (rumored to be Syracuse's Matthew Bergeron, who was eventually drafted at No. 38 by the Atlanta Falcons).

TJ Bass looks good.

I understand the sentiment of "having patience".

But when the organization relies so heavily on the draft, they need as many draft picks contributing at once as possible to get over the hump.

That's the downside of not getting quality contributions yet from your rookies.
