31. Dallas Cowboys (D)​

An organization that’s allegedly “all in” uses its first-rounder on a tackle (Oklahoma’s Tyler Guyton) with tremendous upside but who may or may not be ready to play immediately. And while the Cowboys needed help in the trenches (second-round DE Marshawn Kneeland, third-round G Cooper Beebe) and potentially filled a hole with third-round Notre Dame LB Marist Liufau, what’s the plan at tailback? Run it back with Ezekiel Elliott? All … in?

Jerry will never live the "all in" comment till he dies wen he clearly knows we will never again go all in with Stephen in charge.

 

[baltcowboy]

All in was a catch phrase to keep the Cowboys in the media. Jerry is going to make Dak and CeeDee earn those extensions.

I think he loves it too. He love being quoted something so stupid and then trolling us all lol.

He’s not. If Lamb got hurt first week of the season guess what? Jerry still would sign him.

This draft all relies on fillling our holes on OL. If we have then it’s a B+to A-.

If we’d got a RB in 3rd with 2nd pick which Marshawn from USC was selected after us then could have been higher grade .

I have the feeling it will haunt him after his days on this earth are done. Years from now people will still bring it up.

Just like you hear HOW BOUT THEM COWBOYS over 30 years later.

This grade makes ZERO sense. Talk about clueless.

I think it makes total sense! Not bc that's what the cowboys deaerved ( they definitely should score higher) but bc it's designed to piss off cowboys fans and get clicks...

Rag on Dallas and you get more eyea

 

[Diehardblues]

This grade makes ZERO sense. Talk about clueless.

It’s all rides on our 1st and 3rd OL picks . If they become starters filling two huge holes for us then it’s going to be a successful draft regardless what the rest does .

 

[ThreeandOut]

ESPN must be player ratings as they are generally declining with each round.

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

The Draft Grades are stupid....not because of the obvious (we won't know how good they are for 2 years), but because these sites that hand out "grades" only give out A's, Bs, and occasionally Cs.

CBS even gave ATL a B- for Penix debacle.

So, if you see a C, that's the equivalent of an F.
C+ is like a D-
B- is like a C-
B+ is like a B-
Etc etc etc

 

[Jimbo123]

The only draft grade that matters is the one from the CZers. A+ BABY

 

[Havic]

Something to talk about I guess. I thought we got some good value in the later rounds. Swap out that lb for wright / Lloyd and I think the draft would have been a B to A-

I think a lot of publications, gurus and fans went into the draft with a simple minded list of position that the Cowboys should pick like it's Walmart. RB didn't get checked off so the grades and complaints will reflect that.

To me this is a draft that if the players pan out helps us from being bullied in the playoffs. Two OL and run stopping DE and a LBer? I'm a BPA guy and assuming they went at least somewhat BPA I'm good with the strategy and positions.

Agreed. The men and women who run the 32 NFL teams don’t know how their teams’ drafts will work out yet. How would writers at “USA Today” know enough to be able to assign grades? Liufau will be the first to provide significant contribution because of the position he plays. If I were to bet, Kneeland will be the one that emerges as the biggest “get” from this draft. This was a sensible draft. And there wasn’t a great college running back to be had this year. Last year there were two, but nothing like those guys this time around. I agree it would be prudent to consider who might be able to be signed before TC and don’t know if Elliott is a particularly wise addition. Teams that did draft a RB in this draft will still be looking at potential signings at the position.

 

[_sturt_]

I've stopped caring about the grades thing over time, in direct proportion to beginning to sense more that the graders themselves tend more and more to be not all that credible themselves. You'd have to find me a group... not just one, but a panel... of former GMs who attempt that task for it to be meaningful. And even then... what meaning?... the proof will be in the pudding about 3 years from now.

 

[Rayman70]

I think when we judge this years draft class in 2 years, we will see 4 starters and 2 role players. This was a good draft for us. The reach at linebacker when we had Lloyd sitting there will haunt us. But other than that, we did well. Im loving the last pick we made with Justin Rogers. It was great value and well worth a dart throw. Hès a 344-pound trash can of dirt at the 1 tech.That kid might battle Mazi. Hes a gritty try hard guy and good against the run. Hes a guy to watch.

 

[Rayman70]

Nathan Thomas will end Ball's time here. I promise you. That was a steal of a lineman. Hes played alot of games. He might even push Edoga out the door.
