Thanks for putting that together. Lots of homegrown talent on the roster...now just have to figure a way to keep the good ones.

I'd be really curious to see how that compares to other contenders like the Eagles, Rams, Pats, Chiefs, etc.

Not that I'd ever ask anybody to compile this. I know I don't have the fime to do it.

 

[J12B]

Will Mclay, the front office and player personnel department has really done a nice job identifying talented players over the last 5 years

good list but how does that stack up to other teams percentages..looks like we are doing agreat job with Drafts and UNFAs making up a large percentage of the team..

not bad for NOT A football gy at GM needing hardly any actual outside FA or trades..we are young and a playoff caliber roster..

 

[CATCH17]

Dallas is probably the best in the league at drafting and they would almost have to be with how they ignore free agency.

Thanks for doing this. Very informative.

C,mon, just say it already, you know you want X to compile for you ....

 

[LandryFan]

Dallas is probably the best in the league at drafting and they would almost have to be with how they ignore free agency.

I think it's more because they draft well that they can ignore FA. Back in the day when JJ was a relative free-wheeling GM (FA and trade-wise), the team wasn't that great when drafting (when compared to the current Will McClay era).

Nice breakdown X!

Joe Thomas wasn’t a draft

Our FA strategy is much better than it used to be!

 

[Section446]

It's pretty impressive that they've built a contender (minus QB) mostly through the draft.

I'm pretty sure Redmond was claimed off waivers, not a trade.

That's what ourlad's shows:

09/18 BUF waived
09/18 DAL w/claim f/BUF

Looks good, yet more proof that there has to be a big problem somewhere.
