Last year left a lot to be desired.

I like getting Frederick, and Williams off the trade as for Escobar that was a surprise but then again Witten is not getting any younger so I would hold off on calling Escobar a waste. The other picks I was not unhappy with still we will see how much they advance this year

I like getting him too, but they could have had him in the 2nd round and not had to trade down. Escobar was a waste of a draft pick, I hope I am wrong, but taking a te in the 2nd round was a mistake.

there is simply no way to know that, now is there? he was rated at the top C in the entire draft and i do recall hearing many teams were also interested in him. given the run on the OL overall last year, i don't think it was the reach the haters make it out to be.

I don't think so not with a record number of OL players going that was 1st time in the history of the draft that we saw that many OL players off the board in rd 1 so odds of Frederick being there at our 2nd was not likely at all. Escobar again I think given the fact Witten is up in years will prove to be a wise pick

Escobar Pick Analysis: "Maybe the best ball skills of any of them. This kid's got great ball skills. He's a gifted hands catcher. He will be a great short and intermediate catcher for the Dallas Cowboys." -- Mike Mayock

This off season according to reports he is adding more bulk and I expect to see him getting more playing time
