Ps. I dont necessarily agree that we are the best but it was interesting. Don't shoot the messenger.

On offense I'd agree but for sure not on defense.

It was a nice feel good piece. I really don't like a lot of our recent ( last 5 years) picks on defense

All Pro Selections are what matter more than pro bowlers.

We need to do a better job on balancing offense and defense.

And for a long time we prioritized skinny guys instead of fat boys.

Cowboys winning a popularity contest...go figure

Since 2012 we have drafted mostly OL and front 7 players in the first three rounds. Tyron, Fred, Martin, DLaw, Gregory, Jaylon, Collins, Crawford, Green, and Carter. That's 10 trench players picked early in the the last 5 drafts.

Before that we still drafted them but our scouting department was not very good at choosing players and then of course the RW11 debacle.

Apparently they still weren't good at picking defensive players lol picked the wrong guys for defense

Why is that funny?

I think the main issue has been too much of a willingness to take a risk on boom bust in the second round. Collins and Crawford are talented players.

I agree they need to stop taking boom or busts, busts and injured guys. I like collins. Crawford is ok but we all know overpaid but we know why. They need to find replacement's for crawford, dlaw and gregory.

I'm aware. I said "for a long time" we weren't prioritizing the big uglies. I'm glad that's changed.

priority is replacing the secondary then defensive line,offensive line

I'd be a lot happier our drafting turned into postseason wins.

The Tuna is way over rated as an evaluator of talent. It was he and Jerry Jones that got in a drunken stupor together before the 2004 draft and ended up drafting Julius Jones over Steven Jackson. How both of these lushes are in the Hall of Fame is beyond my understanding.

They are still keeping the tradition going. They got MO and dlaw.

Mo is a bust in Dallas because of his injury prone nature so I don't hang that on Jerry or the Scouts. As for DLaw... he may still workout yet. He's still a young guy.

Mo never looked good until this year. Dlaw has been a bust. Only thing we can hope for is to get a good season out of him this year and let him walk.

Mo played lights out when he was healthy, stop rehashing history. Am I hearing you right? If DLaw balls out this coming year like we drafted him to do, you then want to cut bait with him? Are you certifiably crazy?

So we keep an injury prone player and pay him a ton of money? Especially when he only looks good in a contract year. Besides a 5 game stretch 2 years ago. Not very smart. Mo''s never really balled out until this year. That goes on the scouts. If he's that talented it would've taken him so long to get it.

You are not hearing what I'm saying. I agree with the decision to part ways with Mo, I agree he was too injury prone. However, that 5 game stretch 2 years ago proves he had talent and "got it" 2 years ago but then he was injured again. He wasn't worth a damn trying to play injured or not being able to play at all. There is no way for the scouts to predict his injury prone nature so you can not put the blame on them.
