Best Draft Pick

[ABQCOWBOY]

I think it's going to be Rob Pettiti. I think he's going to turn out to be a pretty good player for us. Easily best value. Right now, I'd say Witten is the best pick but I think it's going to end up being Ware. JMO of course.

After next season, I will immediatly change my pick to Brady Quinn, of course.

Best draft pick in terms of value for where the player was drafted is Witten. He has already made the Pro Bowl twice and is only 24 years old.

The best 5 players chosen overall are:

1. Tnew
2. RoyW
3. Witten
4. De Ware
5. Julius Jones

Another year another Draft.

So what was the best draft pick the cowboys have made since the turn of the centurey(2000)?

Answer and Why, please


Mine would be Terrance Newman. Basically a shut down corner in these Leagues NFL days. Aleady a great CB, and still has room to be even better. Young, and plays a position that barring injury, can play well into the 30's.

"young" is a relative thing. Wasn't he already 25 or thereabouts when we drafted him? I'm not dissing the pick, he has to be among our tops since 2000, but he isn't a spring chicken.

My pick would be Witten.

Obviously, value would go to Witten. As far as talent, it would be a toss-up between Julius Jones & DeMarcus Ware. JJ was rated as the 5th-7th best RB in the 2004 draft by many "gurus". He has proven that he is the equal of ANY running back drafted that year, when healthy. He has everything you want in a franchise RB.
DWare is obviously one of my favorite players already. Of all the so-called "rush" DEs we drafted over the past decade, he is head & shoulders above them all. He tied for the team lead in sacks with 8 his rookie season, & that was with changing to not only a different position, but a different formation as well. He will only continue to get better, with his super work ethic & superior strength and speed. I look for both to stay healthy this year & to go to the first of many trips to Honolulu.

Newman turns 28 at the start of the season.

He turned 25 at the start of his rookie season.

DeAngelo Hall turns 23, Jimmy Williams is 22... Wow. Atlanta has some young corners with some serious potential.

These aren't the best picks by any stretch, but it should be noted how well we've drafted in the 7th round, as of late. Crayton, Reeves, Ratliff, hell even N.Jones are nice picks so late in the draft.
