Damn you Alexander for making Brugler grade us so low.
Not directly but we spent this years No. one on him, so is a big factor in how you view our draft.Why would he factor in Amari?
Did we draft Amari???
Just the habitual haters such as yourself. The fact you don’t like it is a badge of honor. Thank you.You must have a bot that adds nothing to the forum except criticizing members for not pom pom'ing.
Brugler did specify that he didn't include trade acquisitions in the evaluation. So Amari Cooper was excluded, which puts the Dallas draft at a bit of a disadvantage. I understand the thinking there, but it has its problems (and I have a lot of respect for Brugler). if Dallas had traded a player to acquire a first round choice, that choice would have been included in the evaluation. So it seems logical to apply the same standard to picks traded for players. That said, I have Brugler's guide, and he is being true to his rankings. Hill was rated well below the spot he was taken. Brugler had McGovern graded higher than Hill. Of course, Brugler could be wrong.31. Dallas Cowboys
2019 draft class
2 58 DT Trysten Hill
3 90 OG/C Connor McGovern
4 128 RB Tony Pollard
5 158 CB Michael Jackson Sr.
5 165 EDGE Joe Jackson
6 213 SS Donovan Wilson
7 218 RB Mike Weber
7 241 EDGE Jalen Jelks
Favorite pick: Connor McGovern, OG/C, Penn State
The Cowboys drafted a higher-rated player in the third round than the second round. McGovern has experience at center and guard and gives the Cowboys a nasty run blocker with upside as a pass protector. His versatility will give the Cowboys options up front in the future, like possibly moving Connor Williams outside to tackle.
Questionable pick: Trysten Hill, DT, UCF
Without a first-round pick, the Cowboys weren’t going to be high on this list, but it is understandable why many fans aren’t excited about Hill, their top pick in the draft. He butted heads with coaches (and teammates) at UCF and needs time to develop. This pick felt like a reach because of their desire to land a high-upside three-technique in a draft with limited options at that position.
Day 3 pick who could surprise: Michael Jackson Sr., CB, Miami (Fla.)
Jackson was thought to be a top-100 pick over the summer, but he didn’t quite have the senior year many expected with only six passes defended and zero interceptions. But the size/speed traits are worth betting on in the fifth round, and defensive assistant Kris Richard has a track record of developing long, speedy corners into quality contributors.

Actually, anyone who grades a draft the day after is an idiot as well as anyone who takes the grade seriously one way or the other.There it is.
Criticize this team, get called an idiot. If he gave us an A, would he still be an idiot???
Fish said the Cowboys had McGovern graded higher than Hill. Brandt had McGovern as the 31st ranked player in the draft.Brugler did specify that he didn't include trade acquisitions in the evaluation. So Amari Cooper was excluded, which puts the Dallas draft at a bit of a disadvantage. I understand the thinking there, but it has its problems (and I have a lot of respect for Brugler). if Dallas had traded a player to acquire a first round choice, that choice would have been included in the evaluation.

Certainly makes it clear why they took McGovern rather than force a pick at another position.Fish said the Cowboys had McGovern graded higher than Hill. Brandt had McGovern as the 31st ranked player in the draft.
And why would they rank high? The ONLY value pick they got was McGovern.
On paper, this is a horrid draft.
So on the flipside, if Cooper was a bust and sucked here, our picks should get dinged no matter how well we did because of a trade that happened 6 months earlier???Not directly but we spent this years No. one on him, so is a big factor in how you view our draft.
In addition we don’t have to project how he’ll do in the NFL as we already have the evidence.

Of course as we spent this years first round on him.So on the flipside, if Cooper was a bust and sucked here, our picks should get dinged no matter how well we did because of a trade that happened 6 months earlier???
He and Garrett are buddies!Brugler is an idiot.
You can't rank a draft until the season unfolds. Seriously.
It doesnt work like that, sorryOf course as we spent this years first round on him.
The only real difference is we already know how well he plays in the NFL.
Everyone else has to wait.
Last year Brugler ranked our draft in the top 5. So I guess we're screwed?People rank draft picks before anyone picks one. That's how they decide on which one to pick. It's possible to disagree with that ranking.
Like to explain why it doesn’t work like that?It doesnt work like that, sorry
Because we didnt draft him. Simple.Like to explain why it doesn’t work like that?
Did we or did we not spend THIS YEARS first round pick on the already proven Cooper???
