Guess how many Cowboys rookies made the OurLads.com All-Rookie team. If you guessed more than zero, you're wrong. Several teams who were already better than us, and had lower picks than us had multiple picks. That tells me once again that we are being out-drafted by too many teams. The ONLY way the Cowboys are going to get back to the promised land is to bring in the best personnel people in the NFL. I'll tell ya what, we aint got em now.
Here is the link: http://ourlads.com/2007allrookie.cfm.
Just a few teams & the players they drafted last year:
The one that bothers me the most is Dawan Landry, FS, Geogia Tech, who was taken by the Ravens with the #146th pick in the 5th rd. Dude is 6-0, 220, and played FS like a future Pro-Bowler. We took Skyler Green with the 125th pick, and Pat Watkins with the 138th. Landry was available both picks. Our FS problem could be over with had we had the kind of personnel talent that Baltimore has in Ozzie Newsome. He taught Phil Savage everything he knows, but instead of Jerry Jones hiring him, the Browns grabbed him a couple of years ago. Did it help? Well, two Browns rookies, Kamerion Wimbley & D'Qwell Jackson, were two LBs selected to the team, so you decide.
Another player on the All-Rookie team who could have settled our FS dilema was Ko Simpson, FS, S.C., 6-1, 200, 4.45. Ko has a 41" vertical, and was a first-team All-American selection by the Football Writers Assoc. & CBS Sports in just his sophomore year. He started all 16 games for the Bills, & had 77 TT, 2 ints., and a sack. We could have taken him with either our 2nd or 3rd pick, although I would rather trade Fasano for him than Hatcher. He sure would have looked good with a star on his helmet, and with his speed, I doubt we would have gotten burned nearly as many times as we did with Watkins at the FS helm.
Lastly, taking Fasano, who, by the way, was not on the team, instead of one of the many talented OTs sitting there waiting in the 2nd rd. still burns my butt. Here is the list of all of the OL that were there for the taking that made the All-Rookie team:
We've got to do MUCH better THIS April. The only reason the Chargers aren't strolling to the SB is that they did enough stupid things to lose two games. They are still the best team in the NFL & sooner or later, will draft so many great players, even their stupidity won't stop them. We can't get that good if we keep passing up great players for players we already have, or for lessor players.

- Nick Mangold, Jets...Was there in the 1st at #18.
- Marcus McNeil, Chargers....My biggest beef. Was there at our original #49 pick, but we traded it....for the pick we took Green with
. Of course, S.D. once again out-drafts us & gets the right player. - Andrew Whitworth, Bengals....Was taken two picks after we took the much needed Fasano.
