Dallas had a horrible draft.....

[ElGatoGrande]

Gosselin had alot of kickers rated above Henery. So did some of the other draft guides that I saw.

and yet Henery, the most accurate field-goal kicker in NCAA history, was the first kicker drafted,,, sounds fishy,,,

have no idea why, but when Gossselin did his position rankings Henery wasnt listed as K or P

and several other guides didnt have him as the #1 guy either

lastly, if NFL success for a kicker was predicated on accuracy in college, finding kickers would be simple for all the teams...

That is surprising because Henery is the best college kicker I've ever seen,,,, very impressive. Maybe Gosselin/ Mayock just don't do kickers.

The only thing we can hope for is a that the kid has a Folk-esque mental meltdown or some freak toe-caught-in-the-shower-drain accident.

First thought was pickers seem to make 99% of the fg attempts against us anyways. So it doesn't matter if he was the least accurate kicker in NFL history lol.

Second thought is Bruce carter was a fg blocking phenom

don't know why you are such a contrary individual but, bottom line, I say this kid is going to be excellent based on the eye test, his leg strength, and the fact that he is the most accurate field-goal kicker in NCAA history. Apparently the Eagles think so too. We will see,,,

I have no opinion on him to be honest, just going off what the others said

Nobody with a lick of sense drafts for need the way you advocate...

I'll be thankful that you have nothing to do with the building of my favorite team... LOL...

I know right.

What are you talking about? I mean, in the 2000 draft the 'boys NEEDED CB's and they drafted 3 that year. They got themselves Dwayne Goodrich, Kareem Larrimore and Mario Edwards. Seriously look at that list of HOFers right ther....... er...wait....

Yeah, drafting for need MAY not be the best route to go.

Thank you for saying what I was thinking without the four letter words

The Eagles drafted a phenomenal kicker yesterday, that kid is money from long distances and he's a great punter too,,, major rue-age that we didn't take him for years to come!

Who Goose didn't even have listed on his kicker or punter rankings.

Bottom line, we burned draft picks on Folk and Buehler recently and with our needs, we weren't going to draft one this year.

I use to think Cowboy fans were football intelligent.

The shine came off that thought quite a while ago.

 

[munkee]

Troll someplace else

 

[visionary]

look up the top 5 kickers of 2010 in the NFL. Only one was drafted and he is on his third team now after being released from the other two.
So drafting a kicker is kind of a waste. We spent two draft picks on kickers already, Folk and Buehler.
Kai Forbeth is a UDFA which I would like to sign once we are able to to give Beuhler some competition.

i would just sign akers

The point I was making when drafting always draft guys that have chance to start not special teams or career back ups.

 

[casmith07]

Going in the draft boys needs were as follow :

OT, FS, CB, K, DE, AND KR..

Out of those need positions cowboys only address one which was Smith. Because the boys did not address those positions I give them a D+.

I give this thread an F.

In two years there could be 5 starters:

Smith
Carter
Murray
Arkin
Chapas

We only had 8 picks.

The Cowboys have drafted for need in the past....his name was Shante Carver!

People on this board have complained for years that Jerry should quit reaching for players in the draft and take the BPA. The Cowboys did exactly that the last 2 drafts, and yet some people complain that the Cowboys should now draft for need.

I for one am very happy with this draft.

 

[jobberone]

In three or four years we can grade this draft.

Jeez, how many times does JG have to TELL everyone that THIS YEAR DRAFT was going to be different because FREE AGENCY was going to be AFTER the DRAFT this year.....jeez, this forum is full of idiots...thank God I live in Indy...I like the Boys but the HATERS in this forum disgust me and other Midwest Fans.....later
