Cowboys predraft rating of current players

[Verdict]

DSoes anyone have any knowledge of how the Cowboys had current players rated predraft, by grade? For example, it would be interesting to know what round the Cowboys had ranked a player like Ratliff, pre draft.

I may be wrong, but I highly doubt the team would release that information.

yep, the cowboys arent going to release that information because then other teams would know what players they are interested in, figure out the cowboys draft board etc,

No I am referring to after the fact. For example Scandrick was said to have a 3rd round grade. We weren't aware of this fact until AFTER the draft.

Wait around. It may pop up on the internet again.

That's not likely something you'll really know much about until after the draft happens.

there is not a list of all players out there... i.e. they aren't handing out their historical draft boards but you can get info about specific guys.

i believe they told us ratliff was a 5th rounder for them but couldn't find any evidence of that on the web. it was probably what jerry said after the draft so may need to be taken with a grain of salt.

i will say many, many people felt ratliff was a huge sleeper prospect.

Yeah, I still don't think the team would do a universal dump of its whole draft board, even after the fact. It would give other teams a big insight into the way we rate and prioritize players.

As JT said there are usually comments on specific players and such, usually crowing "We had him as a definite 3rd rounder, can't believe he was there in the 6th!" which may or may not be true. But I've never seen a comprehensive list to my knowledge.

Heck I'd love to see what the heck they were thinking on some of these guys....

Wasn't he on the cover of ESPN the magazine with all his fellow d-lineman and being touted as the best dline in college football?

In 2002, the Cowboys had Andre Gurode ranked as a first-round pick and Marc Colombo ranked as a third-round pick.

He's talking about players CURRENTLY on the roster.
