Cowboys FanPost Of The Week: Post-Draft Edition

Hey BTB-ers, I'd like you to join me in welcoming back an old friend who used to make people very happy (and probably still brings a smile to Chia's face whenever he looks at the FPOTW trophies on his mantelpiece), but has been away for a little while, scared off by the frenzied proliferation of player profiles, top-ten position lists and mock drafts. Yes, I'm talking about our FanPost of the Week award, who makes a triumphant return to the bright lights with a deluxe edition dedicated to all of the post-draft frustration euphoria, and analysis that has filled BTB's pages in recent days.
Okay, lets get to it. I think its safe to say that the most perplexing, unpredictable, and therefore divisive segment of the draft was the second day, which featured rounds two and three. In both instances, the Cowboys drafted players or positions--or both--that had Cowboys Nation up in arms. A perfect example of this was offered by one of our west coast brethren, BigDinLA, who sought to temper any second-day enthusiasm with a post attacking all the "Koolaid drinkers" who failed to see that Dallas had failed to address their pressing issues in the interior of the offensive line. Other posters echoed this theme: the draft didn't address what they perceived to be the Cowboys' primary needs. BTB member JimmyJohnson gave the draft a "D" for precisely this reason.
