Grade the draft class

[stiletto]

I gave it a C just because they finally drafted a 1 Tech early. The rest of it felt very Special Teams-ish to me. Hopefully it ends up better than I am thinking. Very ho-hum for me.

 

[RS12]

It certainly seemed they wanted to make coach in waiting Dan Quinn happy. C+

Meh, C- at best, some of these picks were bizarre.

 

[gimmesix]

Agree. B with D without including the Vet trades. So, I averaged it and went with C.

Best pick- Duece

Worst pick - the stiff CB that runs a 4.7. We traded away a 5th to move up in the 6th to draft a player they likely could've signed after the draft. Head-scratching.

He doesn't run a 4.7. He runs a 4.7 with a hurt quad. His speed is somewhere around 4.49, according to him.

I'd feel better about this draft if the Cowboys brass could adequately explain why they passed on Torrence at 58. I guess the same could be said for Zavala or Bradford at 90 as well. I'd like to know where all three of those guards were actually ranked on the Cowboys board.

This goes to shwo you a lot about the internet. The people who actually post tend towards a C or lower whereas the poll is far and away a B.

 

[big dog cowboy]

there's a very good chance we get one starter out of this class

I'll easily take the over.

 

[Hennessy_King]

C+

Mazi is it. I think ferguson better than schoonbummer

 

[Hardline]

"F"
Let's not put lipstick on a pig.

 

[ICP]

I voted C thinking C- but after reading through the posts I'm starting to lean towards D.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

B+ with the vets
C with out

 

[Cowboys1966]

Not terrible. I think it feels worse than it was because of what the Eagles did. Solid B.

 

[Jipper]

It's a C

But let's remebwr the first round pick makes a huge difference

A top team doesn't need an a draft to go over the top

 

[Dalmations202]

I give it a B+ and can make it to an A.......but could also bottom out if the 3rd rounder doesn't pan out and one or more of the starters on the OL have health issues.

I think the draft picks used on veteran players should be added in to that year's draft. Otherwise where did those picks go?

So feel free to add in Brandin Cooks, Stephon Gilmore and Johnathan Hankins if you want. Or don't, if you don't agree with me. It's your call.

If you want to add a + or - to your grade post it in the thread. Too many options for a poll.

1(26) Mazi Smith DT Michigan
2(58) Luke Schoonmaker TE Michigan
3(90) DeMarvion Overshown LB Texas
4(129) Viliami Fehoko DE San Jose St.
5(169) Asim Richards T North Carolina
6(178) Eric Scott Jr. CB Southern Miss
6(212) Deuce Vaughn RB Kansas St.
7(244) Jalen Brooks WR South Carolina
Lost 2024 5th Round Pick (Kansas City)

Not ready to grade it yet...still taking it in. Initial first blush is a C though.

Mazi, Schoon, Fehoko and Deuce are all winners. Not crazy about the rest.

 

[Hennessy_King]

B+ with the vets
C with out

The vet trades i lean as free agent acquisitions not the draft. Leave them out of it

 

[Hawkeye19]

B- (including Cooks, Gilmore, and Hankins as additions)
