It's amazing that all of our starting skill players on Offense are under 30

[Woods]

30 years old.

So, that includes Roy Williams, Austin, Crayton at WR (our top 3).

At RB, that includes all 3 of our guys (who ever gets the start).

At TE, that includes both Witten and Burnett.

And Romo, of course.

That's pretty impressive, IMO.

 

[hendog]

Now we need to start adding some quality olineman in the draft. That's where BP really screwed us IMO. He can't draft lineman for ****.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

If we can get the O-Line more talented and younger now as well then we'd be in great shape offensively for a long while.

 

[burmafrd]

And show me where Jerruh has done any better? You want to blame BP and thats fine but we have stunk for years drafting OL. The ONLY two in the last 12 years that were really good are Gurode and the Hotel. EVERY OTHER ONE we have drafted has either been a JAG like Al Johnson or a joke like so many others. Peterman is the only one we have drafted that is still starting and that is for the worst team in the league. Even there BP did better then Jerruh and Wade so far. Free is looking like another loss and Marten is already gone and if WADE ONE MORE TIME PRAISES PROCTOR HE IS A DEAD MAN!!!!!!

Larry Allen was pretty good.

I agree though. It's a joke.

 

[Apollo Creed]

This draft is going to help that number. We have 11 picks. It wouldn't bother me one big if we went strictly ILB/NT/DE/WR/T BPA through the entire draft.

I just wish we had a more imposing head coach when they arrived to camp. Not even imposing, just respected.

 

[Trendnet]

Yea....

but...

from reading this message board, I get the idea that all those players suck..

And far less impressive that all of our starting OL are over 30.

Our OL is a disaster waiting to happen.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

We have fared poorly in drafting O-linemen, but as far as age, some of them don't come into their own until they are 30 or older. You need to develop them over the years, which makes our futility in drafting in that area even more troublesome. In fairness, guys like Free and Marten looked like awfully good choices at the time.

 

[Woods]

Our OL is a disaster waiting to happen.

We'll draft a couple OL this year, and other than Flo, the remaining starting OL should be fine for the next 3 years or so.

That's 2 - 1 bust 1 jury's still out.

I rest my case. In 4 years with 7 oline drafted by BP not 1 player is or was worth a damn.

Both of their records are abysmal.

To me, a "pro bowler" is someone who plays consistently at that level, not someone who has one good year and gets in because of that. Neither Flozell nor especially Gurode has consistently played at a high level. 2 good lineman in 10 drafts is hardly a glittering record for Jones.

Not that Parcells was successful in drafting OL either. Rogers would be the worst pick of the Parcells era were it not for Bobby Carpenter.

Martellus Burnett is going to be a stud!

Just giving you a hard time

 

[Common Sense]

Crayton turns 30 in a few weeks, actually.

Nice catch.

FA is on my mind.
