Grade through 5

Today has been pretty stellar for the Cowboys, IMO.

I think this draft is a B.

Frederick is a great player... solid B+ at the end of the 1st round. Dock them a point for the trade down makes him a C+.

Escobar is a C only because we could (and should have gone with better talent at higher need positions on the roster). As a prospect he's a very good TE with a lot of upside.

Williams is an A for where we took him.

Wilcox is a B+.

Webb is a B. Not in love with the fact that we took a CB-- but he's a good nickel corner candidate and a good value where we picked him.

Randle is an A for a 5th rounder.

If we get a decent LB or DT in the 6th and sign Clabo or Winston-- I like this draft. Throw in our penchant for hitting on a few great UDFAs-- and I think we'll be fielding the best team in Dallas since 2007.

As for the Webb pick he's also a good returner so he adds to the special teams as well.

In three years time, I think at least 4 of these guys are starters, so A.

C

I would NOT have done the things Jerry has but he is the owner and his son isn't THAT much more of a football guy, so I must get used to it.

stong analysis... would read again

Jerry Jones has played the game of football at the collegiate level.
Jerry Jones has ate, drank, and slept football for the past 20+ years.
Jerry Jones has had his team in position to win the NFC East past 2 years.
Jery Jones has more money than you (and all your relatives combined, ever).

If you don't like Jerry Jones (and his son), wouldn't it be better if you just became a fan of whatever GM you think is great?

Jerry, is that you ? Jerry the GM has won nothing since Jimmy left. Jerry the GM is so bad he would have been fired over 10 years ago if not for his other role as owner. Now please pay attention from this point forward.

All these little factoids only further support the phrase, "You can't fix stupid."

Jerry Jones is football stupid. That is why he hasn't won a damn thing since he started listening to the voices in his head and stopped listening to people who could actually put two coherent football thoughts together. He surrounds himself with individuals who either agree with him or are too afraid to speak out for fear of losing their cushy position as Jerry Jones' pions.

Those who do speak out find themselves shoved out the back exit at Valley Ranch.

Money has never equaled intelligence so don't know where you are going there. There are many stupid rich people and many dirt poor geniuses.

It is too early to say this draft class will be another failure but don't spout off about how great a football mind Jerry Jones is. That will get you mocked (deservedly) because the evidence of the last 17 years proves otherwise.
