Brugler ranks the draft classes

[Risen Star]

Philadelphia 4
N.Y Giants 7
Washington 9

10. Dallas Cowboys

Favorite pick: Marshawn Kneeland, Edge, Western Michigan

I’m surprised the Cowboys didn’t draft a running back, but I really like most of the eight selections they did make. With picks 29, 56 and 73, respectively, Dallas drafted my No. 27 (Tyler Guyton), No. 32 (Kneeland) and No. 38 (Cooper Beebe) overall prospects. Kneeland is an impressive athlete at 270 pounds and rushes with balance and heavy hands. Pass rusher was an underrated need for the Cowboys entering the draft, and they landed an ascending player with his best football ahead of him.

Day 3 pick who could surprise: Caelen Carson, CB, Wake Forest

The Cowboys have one of the NFL’s best starting corner duos in DaRon Bland and Trevon Diggs (who is coming off major injury). But depth is a major question mark, so Carson could see meaningful defensive snaps as a rookie. My 102nd-ranked player (drafted at No. 174), he is a solid athlete with high football IQ and inside-outside versatility.

Seems fair. I was hoping we would have a strong UDFA class, but that appears really weak. It appears that there wasn't much real talent undrafted this year.

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

Our whole division drafted well

 

[Carson]

Our whole division drafted well

Well two picked top 10 and the other is always good in Philly

It was a weak draft overall past the 4th/5th rounds due to Covid and other factors. Supposedly should be deeper next year.

this would be a good draft if Dallas took Lloyd instead of Marist Liufau - who I happen to like as a ND fan but being in desperate need of an RB and having Lloyd, who some ranked as the best RB in the draft sitting there is awful. I can't understand this. Also, might add that there wasn't another pk until late in the 5th when all the RB will be gone.

 

[Silver Surfer]

If he thinks the Cowboys drafted well this year, just wait til next year when they have a top 10 pick!

Pretty easy for Washington and New York since they were picking so early after terrible seasons for them both.

hope he is right about Kneeland

It seemed like Philly and the Skins had 3 draft picks in each round, lol

The Diggs injury is kind of an underrated point heading to the season.

NY may have made a big mistake passing on McCarthy

 

[Jipper]

Every year the media is all up on Philly, sick of it

I mean we were pretty terrified of them last year after adding the Georgia team but they fizzled out. And they seem to struggle developing CBs worse than we develop DTs

I'm not sure I'd consider the Eagles draft great outside of getting the top corners in the first and second round. Maybe they deserve praise for trading around and accumulating picks, but they could have done more with what they had if they used those second-rounders.

They did. Danny Dimes isn't the long term answer.

 

[darthseinfeld]

They did. Danny Dimes isn't the long term answer.

He isnt even the short term awnser.

Either way, Dallas and Philadelphia should be playoff caliber for next 4 years. If Daniels hits, Washington will be right there with them. No matter what they (outside finding a legit QB) NY will stay way behind. Sanders is probably the best QB next year, and McCarthy is probably a better prospect

 

[khiladi]

They did. Danny Dimes isn't the long term answer.

Watching their offense was a disaster.. it was just running the ball with Jones…. That’s no way to develop a QB and an offense.

 

[CowboyStar88]

Nick makes a great point.
