Yeah that was even worse. I don’t care how good the prospect is, when they’re that old you’re basically losing an entire contract length of tenure. Why ever pick them over similarly rated players?
Right? I remember sitting there on draft night and thinking this was such an obvious pick and we just whiffed. I was so pissed bc I knew the Kentucky cb was nothing. He was a typical workout warrior who just never showed that on the field. Creed was a no brainer.
Thank you
Missing on Creed was a huge mistake. Kelvin Joseph was picked instead. What a joke
Hill was all on Marinelli and his “coach them up” mindset.
Although the business side of things is thoroughly unrelated to enjoyment of the game on the field... it is nice not to have center, along with Parsons, Lamb and Prescott as multiple high paying salary cap busting costs.
Marino was the 5th QB in his draft class. There were lots of OOPS picks before him.
JJ looked like a good call for a min @ least. Taco was a total bust
Greg Ellis was a good player. Not fair to lump him in with the garbage
I was a fan of the Pittsburgh Panthers because Pittsburgh alumn, Toney Dorsett, was a Cowboy in my pre teens. I followed Dan Marino throughout his career. I was praying the Cowboys drafted him. Tex should have called me.
Those who think we can easily replace a QB should realize a couple of the same guys responsible for that are still with us.
His skillset screamed 3rd round talent. He wasn't particularly quick or fast. And what makes a CB successful? Ahem....But he had the highest “draft grade” since Deion Sanders
You’re mixing up Hill with Mazi I think. Hill was 2019 draft, Mazi in LaPorta’s
He turned out to be a good player......... AFTER Parcels took over , changed the defense, and moved him to OLB at age 31. He finally recorded a double digit sack year and made his first pro bowl at age 32. He was just an average NFL DE prior to the switch. But, he will always most be remembered as the guy we drafted instead of Randy Moss. It was Jerry's biggest mistake and he even admits it. We had a big need at WR at the time, and that whiff set in motion a chain of events that the organization never recovered. ..... that period during the late 90's when the dynasty fully unraveled was just one Jerry blunder after another and culminated in 3 straight 5-11 seasons under Campo.
No I was referring to what you referenced. Hill was an awful pick pushed by Rod Marinelli. And then last season Mike and company were in love with LaPorta, and by the time we picked in the 2nd all that was left was Schoonmaker. We have a habit of forcing for need in that round. Awful picks generally outside of Diggs and Dlaw 10 years ago…..
