BTB: Cowboys 2013 Draft Board Leaked... All Seven Rounds (Link Post #21) *Merge*

[JackWagon]

The problem isnt following your board. Its when you do follow your board your talent is only 8-8.

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

Wow, I can see why they feel they had a heck of a draft after seeing their board.

 

[Nation]

I find it interesting that after the first 42 picks of the draft there wasn't an offensive lineman that they had graded 3rd round or better. If Frederick is a solid starter that should bury any "reach" talk there.

 

[erod]

Though cool to see, we must ask the question, how in the world does Jerry allow himself to be photographed in front of the draft board.

You just don't do that.

 

[arglebargle]

Risen's got to be conflicted that the Cowboys went against BPA to take a beefy offensive lineman.

Nice to see an official draft board again, gives some official weight to the draft arguments. Wonder who 2013's Navarro Bowman will be....

 

[Nation]

What do the stars mean on the players they are next to, any idea? Looking at this on my phone so apologies if I skimmed something.

 

[ThreeandOut]

I said this in the related thread in the Draft Zone, that they likely wouldn't have taken an OL in this draft if they hadn't taken Frederick at 31. The only OL's after Frederick where the grade matched up with availability were Khalid Holmes in the 4th, Ricky Wagner in the 5th or Reid Fragel in the 6th. But they would have sacrificed a higher rated player on their board to select one of these OL's.

Some of the grades they are giving players are real head scratchers. Jonathan banks as a late rnder? Desmond trufant in the 3rd?

yea would love to see some other teams boards to see how they matchup

I thought this was already a thread...

YUCKKKKK

Pretty clear, that they did what they had to do to get a top OL. I'm sure they were praying Warmack or Cooper would be there, but they weren't, and the team was wise to at least get someone who could play up front.

Teams miss on guys all the time. It's all in the eyes of the scout, and Banks and Trufant might be mediocre at best. Who knows?

Curtis Enis, Rashan Salaam, Ki-Jana Carter, Felix Jones, Blair Thomas, Ron Dayne, Chris Perry, Tim Biatkabatuka, DJ Dozier, Michael Haddix.....

All those running backs were drafted in the first round. How'd they turn out?

Cooper or Warmack would have been ideal but that dream died by pick 10. So they almost had to take Frederick, even at the cost of getting the 5th rated player on their board (Floyd).

Exactly. I completely understand their thinking after seeing the board.

The choice was clearly a)Floyd and no good OL or b)Frederick and an extra 3 (which they clearly valued because of the depth in this round).

Wise decision IMO

 

[visionary]

Intersting thread and was already a thread

Looks like we got many players we rated highly but that is meaningless since our drafts are notoriously bad
Let's see how they actually pan out

Perhaps I am just unaware but how many teams allow their draft boards to be leaked out?

Seems like bad planning and oversight once, but twice?

Can someone provide actual draft boards from the Ravens, pats, giants or niners?

Smacks of a front office that has no idea what it is doing

 

[WoodysGirl]

Didn't realize there was a thread in the Draft Zone...


*MERGE*

 

[RS12]

No wonder they were desperate to trade back into the 7th for DC Jefferson. They had a 3rd round grade on him. Lets see if the Cardinals got a bargain.

 

[ThreeandOut]

Magee's size might have something to do with it.

I think they realized that Magee wouldn't be a fit for a lot of defensive schemes so they could get him later.

It looks like the Cowboys had a pretty good handle on the market value of these players. There were several cases where the Cowboys selected a lower rated player (Escobar/Williams, Wilcox/Webb, Magee/Holloman) but were able to come back and get the higher rated player later.

 

[birdwells1]

What a great thread, and terrific job by the researcher.

If their board is correct, they hit some home runs on Williams, Randle, and Wilcox.

And it also shows that they were committed to an offensive lineman in the first round no matter what. When the run on lineman went, they took Frederick and passed on Floyd.

I feel better about the draft than before, and I was already pretty good with it.

I agree, to me they went by the board but we really needed a olineman more than a dlineman imo.

 

[jterrell]

can't argue with the results according to their board.

you get guys you had ranked 22,25,26 and collect like 9 guys ranked in your top 5 rounds after UDFA.

floyd was ranked 5th and would have been a great get at 18 but terrance williams was a real steal and the value of the draft was depth not star power at the top.

the run on OL left Dallas in a bad spot. either take one at 18 or potentially miss all the day 1 starters. so they tried to make the most of it by trading down.

would i feel better about justin pugh then frederick plus williams? not a chance. i thought pugh was overrated as is and thought kyle long was terribly overrated.
