wasn't he a undrafted free agent this year? We should probably tap the breaks on that ;-)

Jon Randle came from A&I...and went undrafted, too small, and untalented by almost all evaluators and fans. Guess what? He has a bust in Canton now...

Carliff Taylor has gone from undrafted free agent to anchor in the middle to potential hall of famer in a matter of 3 posts... I'll take it. ;)

Who you trying to kid with a school yard comparison?

I played with David Hill, Ernest Price, Levi Johnson, Dwight Harrison, Eldridge Small, and Don Hardeman...who all went into the Pros. But get this, they were from a single team playing NAIA football. Texas A&I...and nobody but us were watching. Oh, and they were there two seasons after Eugene Upshaw was drafted from the Javelinas by Oakland.

All but Hardeman played in a Pro Bowl!!

he will be a good player to play in last preseason game so that the guys who will make the roster will not have to play. also maybe he might be good enough to be a practice squad.

Someone wins the lottery every now and then too, I guess......

I hear ya, I would never (in seriousness) knock a new aquisition based solely on draft status or experience. I know that any one of these guys has the potential to be a star (numerous examples have played on this team alone).

What do you suppose the over/under is on how many players the Cowboys FO signs before the season starts? They sure are busy little beavers.

Turning over every rock looking for somebody who needs the right setting to shine.. And some depth...
