wow no butter for us.
what a disaster, though jones may be good as a CB.

Sigh.

What grade would you give that draft class

 

[revospeed]

Geoff Swaim is the gem of the class.

 

[CowboyStar88]

Epic fail

 

[LocimusPrime]

Are there guys that you would have rather picked? Of course hindsight is 20/20 but just for funzzzz

 

[MojaveJT]

How many of those are on the active roster?

right now D

 

[waldoputty]

How many of those are on the active roster?

Jones, Green and Wilson - not a bad number.
the problem is the quality of their play

 

[bayeslife]

I see 4 contributors to the active roster. No it’s not a great draft but at least these guys are playing. Some of our drafts have been a wasteland

 

[LocimusPrime]

Remember this is just 2 years ago...and the assumption is that Dallas has gotten better at drafting with McClay and co

Now the 2016 isn't so bad looking

 

[BobSacamano]

How you get a special teams draft without even trying.

 

[Nightman]

Byron Jones- B+
Randy Gregory- INC
Chaz Green- C
Damien Wilson- A-
Ryan Russell-F for us but starting for TB
Mark Nzeocha- C but not for us
Laurence Gibson- F
Geoff Swaim- A

If Gregory ever comes back they have 3 years of service time left

Pretty good assessment. Averages to 1.875 or C-.

Jones needs to play CB, Gregory probably turns into a F, Green needs to stick at OG or that turns into a F, trading for Swaim was a good deal.

In 2 years it's easy to see that overall grade dipping to a D.

It was just two years ago, I'd sure hope that they'd be "playing".

But even by that low standard, I see two that are actually "playing" anyway. And even those results aren't anything to feel great about.

 

[Stash]

Byron Jones - C - Year three and he's being phased out of the lineup for younger players. Would anyone pick up his 2019 option at this point?
Randy Gregory - F - He's done nothing other than being suspended
Chaz Green - D injured or awful, that's been his history
Damien Wilson - B - After a rough start, I think he's exceeded expectations
Ryan Russell - F - pretty big indictment that he was flat out cut so soon
Mark Nzeocha - D - never did a thing here but get injured. A lot.
Laurence Gibson - F - never stuck
Geoff Swaim - B - doesn't play all that much, but has exceeded expectations based on where he was drafted.

 

[BobSacamano]

Anything more than a C- grade for Byron is being generous. When they need to bring in players to pick up the slack because of your play, that's almost to the point of regressing to your 1st NFL training camp.

He's nearing his option year and instead of going forwards in his development and career, he's going back. Unbelievable.
