Prisco: Draft grades for 2004 - three years later

[peplaw06]

Great research. None of those were on the top of my head. So, what this means is that in the last 10 years, there are a handful of teams that have drafted 2+ QUALITY players.

A handful?!?! 75% of the teams I posted did... That's not a handful. A better statement would be that most teams have a draft in the past 10 years where they got 2+ "QUALITY" players.

Again, I never said that the Skins 2004 draft was the best in recent memory, just solid. Certainly more than a C!

Actually that's not what you said...

Sean Taylor and Chris Cooley. Off the top of my head, I can't think of a more successful draft recently for any one team!

This was on page 2.... From the research I did 75% of the teams had a more successful draft recently.

Here's the 2004 Draft for the Cowboys:

2 11(43) Julius Jones - Notre Dame
2 20(52) Jacob Rogers - Southern Cal
3 20(83) Stephen Peterman - LSU
4 25(121) Bruce Thornton - Georgia
5 12(144) Sean Ryan - Boston Coll.
7 4(205) Nathan Jones - Rutgers
7 15(216) Patrick Crayton - NW Oklahoma St.
7 22(223) Jacques Reeves - Purdue

Grade of "C" from me (factoring in Bills' 1st round pick which netted Spears).

Wow...that is a "D" draft at best. The scouting department needs some turnover -- Parcells helped big time over the past few years (thanks Parcells), but overall the team has not been that good at drafting in the past 12 years.

They've had hits and misses like anyone else.

One trend I'm starting to see is our late round picks seem to be panning out. Reeves, Crayton and Jones are still on the team. Then we got Ratliff, who will likely be our backup NT. We all know about McQ.

Gets me all excited about Ball and Brown.

I forgot Crayton come in the 7th.....takes a little sting out of those mistakes.
