The Dallas Cowboys weren’t greeted with fanfare or praise when they made their selections in the 2022 NFL draft. From their first pick to their last, they raised eyebrows and drew the criticism of many fans, draftniks, and media members.

Dallas’ draft class stood as a stark contrast to the crowd-pleasing 2020 haul which they stumbled into bargain after bargain after leading off with CeeDee Lamb and Trevon Diggs. And the steady 2021 draft class that added 11 players to the roster (one named Micah Parsons), all of whom are still with the team today.

As Jerry would say, suck on that all week, haters.

They didn't even mention Damone Clark and how he wasn't even projected to play this season.

One of the exciting things about a good rookie class is their improvement in the 2nd season. I think all three levels of the defense will be better as a result fo the rookie presently in those squads. I'm talking about Williams, Clark and Bland

You take the good with the bad. The FO constantly ignore the NT position, and they dumped a WR1 without replacing him. The drafting is good because of McClay. I really like the upside of the last 2 drafts. One more good draft would be able to put this team into true contender status.

See Hankins and Hilton. Lamb is the number 1 and they are as much of a contender as any team in the NFC. They already won 5 games against playoff teams this year.

Ok, but they had Lamb and Cooper..it's still a void there hence courting OBJ n signing Hilton. They signed Hankins and that was a good move, but they cut Ridgeway and don't value the position in the offseason repeatedly. I here ya, but they have to win in the Playoffs.
