News: BTB: 2023 Cowboys rookie draft class given failing grade in NFL assessment

[buybuydandavis]

We are suffering mightily from Trysten Hill, Jaylon, Kelvin, and Schoonmaker. You just can't miss 2nd round picks over and over and over. Those should be major components of your team.

LVE. Mazi. Maybe Overshown.

Sam Williams? Why so many players whose best year is their rookie year?

usually when you end up with no players of note in a draft. good starters that contribute minimally, you are set back several years. worse yet, we also gave up a bunch of draft picks this year to get cooks, gilmore, so draft capital is limited.

To acquire WR Cooks, the Cowboys gave the Texans only a 2023 5th round pick and a 2024 6th round pick.
To obtain CB Gilmore from the Colts, the Cowboys exchanged only.a 2023 5th round pick.

Right acting like we gave a boatload of stuff to get those very productive guys for us that was a steal those guys contributed as starters for fifth/6th round picks...

we gave up bunch of others for other players. a 4th for lance. we have 5 picks total. 1st,2nd,3rd, 2 7th round picks.

that's peanuts. in essence we have to hit out of the ball park with the first 3 picks. not looking good right now

I know you have to wait a couple seasons, but i don't recall a class contributing less and ending up good overall. I hope Mazi develops and Schoon as well. My intuition is that Overshown becomes our only legitimate player out of this class.

You must not have been a fan very long if you cannot recall worse rookie classes.

For the first time in a long time we spit the bit like an old horse (see Jerry) who wanted to eat hay, drink well water, and lay on the ground looking disinterested. .

Cowboys will get an additional two compensatory picks from former players that left in FA last year.
CZ moderator Jazzcat22 researched a projection that Dallas will get a 5th round pick for Conner McGovern and a 6th round pick for Dalton Schultz, so they will have seven total.

Yeah that's not what I said.

 

[kskboys]

They picked late in a bad overall class.

The problem was counting on that for immediate help. Kings of misevaluation. They are excellent at that.

Looking back the big overall mistakes will be passing on LaPorta in the 1st, Torrence in the 2nd, and not getting a useable RB at all.

Who is saying how bad it is? KC got a quality WR late 2nd.

 

[kskboys]

The draft class isn't the only thing being bashed around here.

N deservedly so, mostly.
