Twitter: Kiper draft grades

[MarionBarberThe4th]

I can see them cutting Jaylon simply bc some of the tape on him is honestly screwed up. Like avoiding contact in a middling season to protect himself. Taking the game for granted or just flat out too scared or re-Injury to ever be ho self again.

LVE maybe should switch to tight end or something. Before he’s paralyzed. It ain’t working.

keanu I wish they would play at safety it seems like they need him more there.

I think its time to turn in your Kiper card, McShay, mocked Jones all the way to 15 to the Pats.

Blind squirrel gets a nut.

Dallas Cowboys: B

Top needs: CB, DL, OL, ???TE???

Did he actually say that TE was a top need?

 

[Corso]

True, but it's nice to know somebody thinks we did OK.

I can't say I was thrilled with all of our picks, but that's mainly because of all the angst I kept reading. Earlier I had said they seemed to have a plan, but I was starting to doubt myself.

Now this is something I can get behind.

 

[DandyDon52]

I can’t wait for training camp to start

sorry you have to wait !

 

[DandyDon52]

I care.

I'm not interested in getting the best players. I'm interested in getting the players that will make this team the best.

With that said, getting good players only matter if the coaches know how to utilize them, teach them their system, and prepare them so they will succeed when they play.

The real grades come at the end of the season in the form of a regular season record and level of success in the playoffs.

The draft gets an "A" if the Cowboys go deep in the playoffs this season.

yeah plus lets say Fehoko has great TC and PS , coaches may not let him on the field , except for maybe 6 plays all season.
They will stick with their guys who are designated starters, and stars, and are already ranked in some order.
And jerry will want cooper and lamb to get most of the targets.
All that is stupid, I would play whoever is looking good that week.

He probably based it on Jerry's comments about liking Pitts.

I don't know about that. Coaches are judged mainly by their win/loss records. McCarthy may not be walking on eggshells, but I bet he isn't complacent yet. If he isn't successful here, how good are his prospects of landing another job?

 

[Redsfan_83]

no help for the OL.

the Marshall kid is raw.

We passed on Slater.

OL will be a major buzz kill this year once our usuals go down with injuries early in the year...bank on it

Blind squirrel gets a nut.

I don't think I like the way you phrased that.
On second thought, it was good enough for a Like.

For the record there are no such things as blind squirrels, they have very, very short lifespans. The only one ever recorded in the wild fell out of the nest and actually landed on a nut. Thus the saying goes.

 

[ChronicCowboy]

If I knew we were gonna get Cox in round 4, I might have taken Slater over Parsons. But I feel good about LB now.

At least we are ahead of the curve on this one, instead of going into the 2022 draft and everyone knowing we need LB. It is even possible both Smith and LVE will be gone.

Wentz isn't an Eagles anymore. No need to overvalue what they do.

What did the Colts get for a Risen draft grade? A+++++++?

Too many reaches IMO....

well Mike may surprise me, but he also knows if he pleases jerry his job is safe .
Depends on if there are PS games though, otherwise the guys like udfa's dont have any chance to show what they can do in a game.
Even if they do, it is usually not respected as it is a PS game. But that is their main shot at showing something.
That is why I like PS games and think they are needed, not for the regulars , but the guys trying to make this team or some other team.

I give them all a C+ lol
they all got at least one impact starter. And the rest only time will tell, how many will actually help their team.

I don’t know man! I had been on the LB wagon for awhile we needed help at all 3 levels and I considered it as big of a need as secondary

our LB corps were and are horrible. We in 2018 were talking bout having the best cast of LB in the league and then the wheels fell off

I was stoked when they grabbed Parsons and I don’t think the drop off of Joseph from Surtain is that large . I said on Thursday I did not feel like they could mess up pick 10 because we needed help everywhere.

The cornerback class being deep certainly help with going there. My thought process with the linebackers, though, is that we picked up Neal to add to LVE and Smith. Yes, there are questions about LVE and Smith, but we have seen what level they are capable of playing at and we are returning to a similar scheme to the one where they experienced their greatest success.

At corner, the only thing we did was resign a nickel corner after losing the starter, so it was the greater need. It worked out, though. The only thing I'm not satisfied with is the defensive tackle spot. We were awful inside last year, against both the run and the pass. I think we definitely improved against the run, but I'm not sure we did on the interior against the pass. Of course, this draft class didn't offer much there. I just felt like there were some opportunities to take a stab at better run/pass DTs than the ones we got. I would have felt better about it if we'd taken a shot at Marvin Wilson late rather than the guard. He may prove that he was only worth going as a UDFA, but other than strongly addressing the position in free agency or early in the draft, I'm for hitting the position heavily in hopes of someone emerging as an interior player who isn't a liability against either the run and pass.

Well apparently I have to brush up on my squirrel knowledge.

Smith and Dickerson will dominate. Williams could. I'd take either of their two late round pass rushers over the guy we took in the 3rd round and arguably their 6th round DT over our 3rd rounder too. Gainwell could be the next Tony Pollard. I probably exaggerated about Gainwell.

That was the best draft class in the division. Clearly.
