Consider this: Witten is a 3rd rd pick that already is a multiple Pro Bowler and one of the top 5 TE's in the game.
Canty is a 4th rd pick that is a starter and despite the lack of respect 3-4 DE's get looks to be a fixture for years.
Watkins is a 5th rd pick and looks like a steal.
Petitti is a 6th rd pick and how many of them start at a critical spot like RT?
And while the jury is still out McQuistan is a 7th rd pick that looks like a keeper.
Yes we busted on Rogers and looks like we may be disapointed in Peterman.
But just how many teams get starters later than the 4th rd? How many get gems like Watkins in the 5th? Every First RD pick we have gotten under BP is starting right now.
Actually the only place that we seem to have problems is the 2nd rd. Except for JJ and what looks like a good pick in Fasano the 2nd seems to be a bit of a problem.
I dont know. Way to early to judge the drafts under Parcells a success.
The only sure things so far are Newman, Witten, and Ware.
Not to say James, Petitti, Canty, Spears, Burnett, Carpenter, Fasano, Watkins, J Jones, and etc wont prove to be the next generation of great Cowboy players.
For now I would not count those chickens until they hatch. Interestingly it could be that the lackluster or flat out bust of Peterman, Rogers, and A Johnson, that really hold the Cowboys back this year. Not saying that the Cowboys will not have a good year this year, but obviously the Cowboys biggest question marks are on the OL. Good drafting there would have been nice.
X 50.
