Kiper:
Smith – 30
Schoonmaker – 79
Overshown – 94

McShay:
Smith – 38
Schoonmaker – 71
Overshown – 89

Solid picks. Getting a run stuffing DT is the cherry on top. These players wouldn't have lasted until the next round. Emphasis on stopping the run on defense and improving the run offense. Love that! Excited to see what Saturday brings!!!

Never forget

“If Jimmy Clausen is not a successful quarterback in the NFL, I’m done. That’s it. I’m out.”

Replied McShay: “What is your time frame, Mel? When do we make that assessment?”

Kiper: “I want eight years.”

McShay: “It will only take three years, Mel. We can tell inside three years.”

Kiper: “I want eight.”

Maybe it's just me but it seems this draft is all about our division, especially the Eagles. Think about it, we currently have the worst DLine ( especially interior ) in the division. What we do about......draft a tech 1 with a 1st rounder, something we have not done since 1995. Our 3rd round pick drafted an LBer over RB. Hell, raise your hand if you it coming........TWO of our first three picks would be defense.

BTW......take a look at MM rosters with the Packers. You won't see a lot high drafted players .........his entire offense was based on Rodgers and his scheme.

To me it looks like the draft is about Philly and San Fran.

Three players who look like they can contribute at positions of need against two teams we play.

Exactly.........we can pi--- in the wind all we like but at the end of the day, they are better teams until proven otherwise.

Okay, so let's take the average of Kiper and McShay's scores, not to say that they are the draft Oracles, but just for an exercise.

Smith 34 drafted at 26 34-26=8 lost value points.

Schoonmaker 75 drafted at 58 75-58=17 lost value points

Overshown 92 (91.5) drafted at 90 92-90=2

So, according to Kiper and McShay, the Cowboys lost a total of 27 points. A total round in the draft is 32 points.

The Cowboys lost almost a total round in draft value according to Kiper and McShay.

It's almost as if the Cowboys drafted an equivalent of a low 2nd, another low 2nd, and mid 3rd pick instead of a low 1st, low 2nd, and low 3rd.

.......according to Kiper and McShay.

I think it's easier than that. We lost Schultz and didn't replace him in FA. We lost Watkins and didn't replace him in FA. We lost Barr and didn't replace him FA. These were the positions we used our first three picks on.

All other positions, we added some kind of replacement: Elliott/Jones II, Washington-Hilton/Cooks, McGovern/Edoga, Brown/Gilmore. We didn't lose any DEs, Ss, QBs.
