McClay crushed it, imho.
A+

 

[VaqueroTD]

What the heck happened in 2023? Was McClay out of the office that week?

But yes, 2022 looking even better with time. Hope same will happen to '23.

 

[Momanpr100]

Pretty damn good

Mazi is going to be good, Brooks looks good for a seventh rounder, Schoon not so much for a 2nd ... we need to see Asim Richards, Demarious Overshown and Fehoko

Looks like that draft may end up A+. 4 starters and 2 important back-ups.

Yeah i love Tyler but when you get a highend starting corner, that makes plays, and is willing tackler on top of it. Right now in the A range.

 

[Tangle_Foot]

That's a damn good group. Best thing about it is, I don't think they've reached their ceiling. Definitely an A

May be our best draft class since 1975.

 

[ATXSRT]

Daron Bland, and Tyler Smith should be All Pros. Others are coming along as solid starters. A+

Over the past 15-20 years we’ve been pretty dam good at drafting in my opinion. Sure you have your bad picks…. Like taco over watt. But we’ve been pretty good at identifying talent. Just look at the oline… half the teams in football can’t find one good lineman. Yet we draft hall of famers

But you can’t deny what will Mcclay and our scouting department has done. I also think the narrative that JJ doesn’t listen is overblown as well. It’s clear he listens to the experts.

Why haven’t we won? My opinion is been coaching.

Yup your last line is spot on. Can’t beat equal rosters in the playoffs without high level coaching or HOF QB play.

Whoa there Rev. I like this class a lot too but I need to see this team win a divisional playoff game before declaring it anywhere close to the “Dirty Dozen” class of ‘75. They won 2 playoff games in ‘75 including a divisional playoff win, an NFC championship and went to a SB with that great class so that’s some tall cotton.

Hopefully the 2022 bunch can take us to similar heights.

Hopefully we can trade them all for a 4th

Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself, but not about Daron Bland. He's already made history. He was a real find.

A- Clark not showing anything yet and Tolbert is frustrating.

Clark leads the team in tackles and the other took a huge step from year one to two albeit from healthy scratch to WR4.

There’s a solid chance Clark becomes a real good starter and Tolbert becomes a good WR3.

Would really love to know Will McClay's total compensation package.

The guy has to be the most sought after exec in the business.

I know he is tight with the Jones' and says Dallas is home for him...im just curious what other competitive Billionaires are willing to throw at the guy to try and lure him away.

The 64 draft produced three Hall of Famers. That is hard to match.

Jerry has already made him the highest paid executive who’s not a GM. Obviously Jerry knows he’s the centerpiece of the team’s drafting success.

Without Will McClay, the father-son dual FO leaders will be back to their fantasy football drafts again so I sure hope JJ continues to back up the brinks truck to keep McClay here.
