I can tell a lot of fans had become attached to certain players during the pre draft process. Guys like Surtain, Horn, Moehrig, Barmore and Milton Williams.

Those guys (Surtain, Moehrig and Milton) were literally picked right before our 1st, 2nd, and 3rd round picks which is what sucks.

But come on, we got 5 new players. Gotta give them and Quinn a chance.

Guys like Sherman, Avril, Chancellor and some other members of the LOBwere all taken rounds 4 or later and I'm sure Seattle fans at that time were confused and frustrated as well.

Gotta just let it go and move on to day 3.

When you get your targeted player picked not once but 3 times (Surtain, Horn, Moehrig) right in front of you that does not mean you were unlucky. That is a sign you werent prepeared.
Your draft team should know what the needs of other teams are and what they tend to pick.

To pick Seattle as an example is bad. Even if they picked players fans may have been confused by, they clearly made their homwork on them. This cant be said about us. We again took high risk on players. And the Joneses dont learn anything from it.

If you hit on a risky pick it means you were lucky not smart. Risk is controllable but in a very low range. Thats why it is called risk. But the Joneses think they are smarter than everybody else. If you make a mistake once its ok. But to resist to learn from it shows you are either caught in your own ego which makes you incompetent or you are just stupid which makes you incompetent also.

I guess we again will lose good people (McClay, other good players) to FA and the open market. Just because this FO is so bad nobody with talent and ambitions wants to work with them.
 
It was just a frustrating night. The franchise spends a lot of time on preparing for the draft so we will need to wait. The final grade will be how these guys play. Although looking at past years when the team goes against the grain in the middle rounds of the draft, they very rarely outsmart other teams and draft experts. They usually fall on their face.

I feel like chasing a CB in the second round really mucked things up. Last year the draft fell to us. This year it didn't and it appeared Dallas was step behind all night.

Joseph looks like a classic boom or bust pick. It is concerning that he only has 9 career starts. He is the type of guy where the front office gets attracted to but never lives up to the billing. If he is not a good starting corner, this draft goes downhill really fast.

At least Dallas drafted some defensive lineman, but both appear to be high character guys with maybe limited upside. Lets wait on both as they appear to have some interesting characteristics. But again, these are the type of players who Dallas has overdrafted in the past as well.

No idea with Wright. That pick better be right. It certainly appears last years 4th in Robinson is already a wasted pick.

Give them a chance
We have done above average in the draft the last several years

I like how you state your opinions as fact, that's cute.
 
"Post day 2 draft day blues" sounds like a Bob Dylan song that has been playing on a loop for the last 25 years around here.

LOL.

You can’t drop this nugget without an explanation. What about taking a 7th round prospect in the third makes it one of the best drafts we have had?

Or taking a guy like Golston who is redundant to Armstrong and Anae?

I seem to remember guys like that Anae pick last year....
