So how did every team do compared to Mayock's top 100?

[Angus]

Looks like Mayock had Frederick as a 3-4th round type of player and Escobar as a 3rd rounder.

On one hand I guess we can be happy the Cowboys drafted 5 guys in Mayock's Top 100, however, also looking at these numbers it would also indicate the Cowboys 1st two picks were taken too high.

To high for what? For some by-standing draft snob's media guru? Or to high for their probable production as evaluated by professional football people who win or lose from the gamble?

 

[Doomsay]

Like they got their #1 target in 2009 Max Unger? Oops.

Would you prefer Max Unger in 2009 or all of the other players that the Cowboys drafted?

The poster was asking why the media was bashing our draft, I summarized what I thought were the most common criticisms in the media, I wasn't offering my personal opinion on the draft, hence:

These seem to be the most consistent media criticisms.

this is a good point
i am glad we got frederick

would have liked to get mroe in the trade down but that is what the market was

i am OK with frederick and williams and hopefully both develop into long term starters for us

The only guys we may have taken between 61 and 74 instead of Williams were Brian Winters (unlikely) and Bennie Logan (maybe).


61 versus 74 was the chart difference. I'm pretty sure that Williams would not have made it to 80 since 3 more wide receivers came of the board in 6 picks.

i agree with you
personally, i would have taken either of those 2 rather than williams if i had a choice

but it is what it is

I think Williams would have been the pick at either 61 or 74 so I'm not really too concerned that they didn't get 61.

You are probably right. I think Williams probably had the highest grade by a little bit, but Williams plays by far the deeper position. I think Logan and Kawaan Short were really the two guys that would have helped the tackle room after the Sly Williams at 29.

Yeah, I would like to think Short would have been an option at 47 and Logan an option at 80 had they been available.

It wasn't a terrible draft, it was just we didn't fill the needs.

We filled a bunch of needs, just not the ones short-sighted fans thought.
