well, folks want to dismiss previous years and look at everything in silo. so if last year we drafted a Tackle, then lets draft a tackle this year too because its the best player on the board, and if next year same thing happens lets just draft another tackle....should we look in the 2026 silo when the time comes and if the best player, best OL man is a guard and then draft another guard, trends and previous picks be damned!!
so yeah, trends and past matter. matter specifically on how you go about building a roster and a team.
this one year, silo is a spin and excusing the poor drafting of the cowboys. facts are we could have picked a guard in lower rounds, maybe 3rd. what would be the impact of drop in play and ability for a RG from 1st round to 3rd round?
everyone is assuming that Booker is a future HOF (based on what I read) and all these other player have question marks and will not do well...essentially saying we can't evaluate talent, so we played it safe and drafted a guard....which in fact if that's the case, then speaks volumes about Cowboys incompetence.
there was a reason Parsons dropped to 11. and davis to 12. yet, we see their impact. we saw Philly destroy KC and Mahomes.
so in roster building, was RG the highest need and most impactful position we needed to pick at 12, a very premium draft pick.
in fact I would have picked Warren over Booker, because Warren could be a Kelce, Kittle type player specially looking ahead with Ferguson at the end of his contract and becoming a FA.
now, without googling, tell me who the RG is with KC and SF? both of whom have played in recent superbowls and CCGs. but I am sure the response will be Warren had question marks.
