CFZ I don’t think we really improved our chances for a Championship

People here always complaining about something with this team the last few years was we never take a big DT early in the draft so this year we take a bit DT in the first round and now the complaints are we didn’t take a playmaker you can’t have it both ways an offensive lineman or a DT aren’t the pretty picks but that’s how you win football games

LOL! The last day of the draft hasn't even ended and we're already calling this draft a bust.

Maybe it wasn't an amazing draft? Maybe it'll turn into an amazing draft? Who knows.

This is like pulling the cake out of the oven after one minute and declaring it terrible. Atleast give it time to bake.

Good post Slam, totally agree. I think MM and Dan Quinn had this draft all planned out and it was carried out accordingly. They got just what they wanted. Of course had we been able to pick earlier than 26th they might've chosen a little differently, but I think they still pretty much got what they wanted and I think this will prove to be a successful draft, especially for the defense. You can't pick 26th and think you're going to get 7 fantastic picks like some people want. There's 25 other teams out there ahead of you competing for the best players.
Nevertheless, we always have people who hate every draft every year. Oh well.

If that fat sack of doodoo can distract two lineman. Then yes the team has improved.

"Fat sack of doodoo"? SMH Not only is that so called "fat sack of doodoo" rated as an excellent run stopper which is exactly what we needed, but we gained a heat seeking missile of a LB who also has played Safety, so he's versatile, plus we picked up an edge rusher with a motor that never stops and they say he has versatility position wise.
Sounds to me like the defense has definitely improved from this draft. The offense? Well we'll see. I like the sound of the TE we got, and we'll see about the RB we picked up.

9-8 or 12-4

We all know how the season ends.

It must suck being you. Spend so much time and energy on something you are so miserable about.
Why are you doing this man? The world has millions of things you can participate in. In fact I saw some folks dressed up like stuffed animals at a hotel a few weeks ago. The said they were called Furries, they seemed happy with their chosen past time. More so than you.

Google it. You could find a new interest that brings you more than misery and negativity.

Cheer up man. Life is too short to be so negative over the crap you can't control.

Imagine thinking someone is miserable because they don't believe a football team is a great as you do lolololol

Sure we may have drafted some good players.

This draft was a total nuts and bolts draft. It’s cool we improved on a already elite NFL defense.

But…

Dallas biggest weakness was offensive playmakers and all we really did was add Brandon Cooks.

The guard spot is still weak.

I think if they go with their best 5 then that means Tyler back at guard and Tyron back at left Tackle.

I just don’t see a team as it’s currently constructed that’s competing with the Eagles for the division or the conference.

My hope is they have something up there sleeve.

It’s hard for me to believe that Ronald Jones is really going to be their #2 back.

The Cowboys are also really giving Tolbert an opportunity to shine with not giving him any real competition.

My hope is that Dallas will somehow pull off a miracle trade and get Derrick Henry in here.

The Titans are not a contender and Henry kinda changes everything for us. Immediately makes us a legit Super Bowl contender.

I keep coming back to this and thinking. Doesn't help.

But knowing we're moving to BigMac's West Coast I figured maybe we could see some parallels between what he did there and what he plans to do here.

Biggest thing I see is we have more talent here, today, in Dallas than he had on any of his Green Bay teams. Rodgers is on record complaining they never drafted a top flight receiver.
In 13 years, Green Bay had 5 Pro Bowl lineman, Wells, Saturday, Sitton, and Lang. Saturday made 2 and Sitton 3, but only 5 Olineman made the Pro Bowl in 13 years. So much for the idea of having 7 blocks of granite.

In those 13 years he only had 3 losing seasons, one 6-10, one 7-9, and the final, 4-7-1. In all others he averaged 10 wins, with a 15 win and a 13 win mixed in. But only 10-6 the year they won the Super Bowl.

Take it all into account, they didn't have the best WRs, the best lineman, seldom had 1000 yard RB,.......how were perennial winners?
Not to say he didn't have NFL talent, he just didn't have the best NFL talent.
Even with an Aaron Rodgers football is still a team game so Rodgers didn't do it all by himself.
To me his record proves you can get the same production with lesser talent.

And I'd say they succeeded by playing as a team with a scheme that put players in position to succeed.
Teams with the best talent don't always win (boy do we know how true that is!)

Either way, you've made an excellent observation that requires careful thought with regards to the emphasis one places on talent vs scheme and how BigMac proceeds.

It's his neck if he's wrong.
