The 2016 draft for the Cowboys was just straight nasty. If we don't win a Super Bowl in the next four years, that will tell you all you need to know about our coaching staff.

Besides Zeke he was the player I was most excited about last offseason. He proved me right. When you looked at his college tape you could see he had hands and quickness for a big man.

I don't know what people were watching last year if they think he can ever have anything close to the career arc Sapp had.

Never ceases to amaze me how far people will go with the outrageous predictions. Now if he turns out to be a pro bowl type........great. But to say he is the next Warren Sapp after one solid rookie year is ridiculous.

If the Cowboys dont get a pass rush they wont be winning the SB no matter who is coaching.

Dont you think its time to delete that quote about Garrett getting to the championship game in 3 years? Seeing as though that was 2011 and its now 7 years later?

Or are you just leaving it up as a joke?

Sapp had his third best season ever in 1997... two years before McFarland was drafted.

Sapp had 30 sacks before McFarland was drafted and 42 before McFarland ever started a game, and his rise in sacks coincided with the rise of the entire Tampa defense more than McFarland simply being drafted.

Sapp had 12.5 sacks in 1999 the year McFarland was drafted. McFarland never started a game in 1999.

I'd say that McFarland wasn't critical in Sapp's development. :rolleyes:

Collins had better rookie numbers than Sapp, so why not? Because he can't be that good if he was a 3rd round pick. Other teams would have taken him earlier if he was that good?

I think the guy we took in the next round offers some proof that we can be optimistic when it comes to potential of these draft picks.

Tom Brady, Bart Starr, TJ Housmazilly, Deacon jones, Richard Dent, Shannnon Sharpe, Zach Thomas, Steve Largent, Bo Jackson, Rodney Harrison, Jamal Anderson....

List goes on and on. Dont have to be a first rounder, to be a beast.

Everyone knows that Sapp was a JAG until he got to play next to a 270# Brad Culpepper!

5 sacks for a rookie coming off a broken foot is unheard of. Ok back to negativity...
