1) 31 teams a year are choke artists.
2) The Cowboys still don't have a pass rush *specialist.
3) The Cowboys are replacing most of their secondary with young highly drafted guys.
4) Ezekiel Elliott seems like a jackass, and he may eventually pay for it all while leading the league in rushing and TDs scored.
5) Elliott's body takes (and dishes out) a lot of hits so this may show up in year 4 or 5.
6) The Cowboys' OL suddenly has some potentially glaring holes like the ones they drive in the Eagles defense.
7) The Cowboys' good offensive linemen have stayed almost impossibly healthy because they are good and tough.
8) Jason Witten continues to decline as we all over 30 do a little bit every day.
9) Dak Prescott had EVERYTHING going for him his rookie season and it all returns except he gets to prepare as the starter all off-season and gets the starters snaps.
10) There hasn't been an NFC East repeat champion since 2004until this year.

LOL wow that guy is a complete tool.

He was basically trying to find reasons to hate on our draft, and then graded it as a "D". LOL at his "evaluations" of Maliek, Brown, and Prescott.

What a goober.

He wanted us to take a lesser talented rb in the 2nd round over Elliott, because the recent past draft had more rb talent for us to choose from. lol.

That grade does make him an idiot, true.

Only thing he hit on in that article was us taking small school safeties, why we kept doing that I have no clue. Heck Jones is from UConn, Woods from LTech, not like they are powerhouse teams. Guess if Landon Collins was from Delware, we would've took him.

1) The Cowboys are choke artists
Well, Romo isn't here anymore, so no.

2) The Cowboys still don't have a pass rush
True, and we don't have a DC that blitzes

3) The Cowboys are replacing most of their secondary
True, yet people here are acting like it'll be in immediate upgrade. It won't be.

4) Ezekiel Elliott seems like a jackass, and he may eventually pay for it
This is just reaching.

5) Elliott's body takes (and dishes out) a lot of hits
True. But this equals dumpster fire? Ok


6) The Cowboys' OL suddenly has some potentially glaring holes
Holes? Collins is an upgrade. Guard? Maybe

7) The Cowboys' good offensive linemen have stayed almost impossibly healthy
Um, when did O linemen have a history of injuries?

8) Jason Witten continues to decline
Slower? Yes. Who in the history of the eagles has been a better TE?

9) Dak Prescott had EVERYTHING going for him his rookie season
Hard to argue, but I hate the whole "Dak would be nothing without his offensive line" argument. EVERYBODY, including Brady needs protection. Unlike Wentz, he can actually throw accurately past 20 yards.

10) There hasn't been an NFC East repeat champion since 2004.
Valid argument. This, and the fact Garrett is our coach, is why I doubt we'll win the division.
