Anytime you have two 1st round picks and neither player gets a 2nd contract, you've had a bad draft.
The 2009 class was an abortion. 2012 an F-.
This notion that the Cowboys are now much better at drafting is an extreme exaggeration. Maybe better than the horrific 95-02 era but still pretty awful.
The argument that a 2nd contract is a measure of draft pick success is heinously faulty.
By that argument Cliff Avril, Chris Canty and many others were BAD draft picks.
It is simply untrue and based upon nothing but your opinion.
Good draft picks provide value on the field and against the salary cap.
not all those guys will remain after the value is altered via free agency.
Thus is life in the NFL.
Was Marion Barber somehow a better draft pick because we paid him a fortune to fall off a cliff? Or was sit the value he provided on his rookie deal that made him a great draft pick?
Mike Jenkins did not get a 2nd contract in Dallas but he did make a Pro Bowl at CB here. He was a starter on a division winner.
