Grade the Cowboys Day 1 and 2 haul

[darthseinfeld]

OG Tyler Booker
DE Donovan Ezeiruaku
CB Shavon Revel

 

[My3Sons]

If they had traded back to get a 4th and took Booker. This draft is an A+

I gave it a B

 

[darthseinfeld]

I went A

Individually I had them like this

Booker: B. Day 1 impact player, but I know the position value. It was also a bit higher than I expected

Ezeiruaku : A. Very good value at a need and Money 5 position

Revel: A+ Potential top 20 player at money 5 position if he didnt hurt his knee. Potential #1 CB

Averaging them out doesnt cleanly give them an A. I rounded up because they got get value at two Money 5 positions on defense.

 

[Dalmations202]

A for talent
C- for upgrading the team

Booker replaces Martin but they already had a replacement.
Dono Ez not sure who or if he replaces anyone if Kneeland replaced DLaw.
Parsons, Donovan Ez, Fowler, Kneeland, SWilliams nice depth, but ......

Sharon replaces Lewis. Lewis will be better for a few more years.

Where is the upgrade? Where do they stop the run? What Mike controls the D and leads?

Good players but not sure the team is any better.

 

[Hawkeye19]

Love the players, but we have not improved at some very critical positions.

I gave them an A- because they have added some quality talent to the roster.

Gotta hope some good players fall into their laps tomorrow. Gonna be a long wait until we are on the clock again.

 

[darthseinfeld]

but we have not improved at some very critical positions.

That would have been the case no matter who we drafted

 

[StuckMojo]

Just too many needs that needed to be filled.

 

[Carson]

I went B.

Love that they landed 3 first round players in 3 picks. M

Wish they traded down. Still no clue why they refuse to get a RB or WR2

 

[McCarthyMustGo]

C+ Simply because of team needs not being addressed. Grade gets better if Revel is healthy and doesn't look like Jalen Smith running.

 

[Kingofholland]

Overall they got some good players that fill needs. I feel like this is a class they'll get more out of than the last couple years.

On the downside they didn't address DT, RB, or WR. I'm OK with not drafting a receiver because other than Hunter and McMillan I don't think this has been a strong productive class. Sure guys like Golden and Burden are intriguing but I'm not sure they contribute more than some of the guys already here next year. I maintain they should go out and look at Keanen Allen, Tyler Lockett, and even Amari Cooper who could potentially contribute more than any day 2 receiver.

There are still some RBs out there that can contribute, but it's clear next year will be a committee approach and they missed their chance to get an instant bell cow. Probably the biggest disappointment so far.

For DT, I would just use a couple picks on them on day 3 and hope 1 is ready to contribute. This is still a big position of concern.

B. Absolutely love Donovan Ezeirukau pick. But with drafting Revel in 3, we are going to rtrot out the exact same offense as last year, with a new G and minus Cooks. We NEED to make a move at RB and WR.

 

[bleachedwheat]

Very good draft thus far. The last time they got an A grade from me was the CD and Diggs draft. 3 1st round talents so far. Make good picks on Day 3, keep it up.

 

[daveferr33]

A for me. Brought it up from yesterday today.

 

[big dog cowboy]

A

3 first round players.

 

[Carson]

I believe they trade for Breece Hall tomorrow and then sign a Keenan Allen next week

 

[TasteMyScythe]

I gave them an A. They stayed true to their board and didn't reach. Some will argue that Booker was a reach, and or that we didn't trade back is irrelevant simply because we have no clue what their board looked like. All three players are players of need. but they were also ranked as arguably one of the best players at their position.

 

[RS12]

B plus. If Revel pans out it goes higher.

 

[J12B]

I went B.

Really wish they had found a way to draft a RB.

If they make a deal post draft for Breece Hall, for like a 2026 3rd Round Pick, I'd give this draft an A.

 

[Shredd1]

B- If you’re building for the future those picks are great but if you’re wanting to get to the SB which we haven’t seen in how long, you need a top RB or WR that might provide instant production at 12th pick. What good is protection if you have only one main target?
