These last 2 draft classes

[AmericasTeam81]

The average score for a janitor is a 14. There are guys that went to college for 3 or 4 years and stayed eligible to play football, but still can't read. Incredible.

That's because they don't teach at colleges, universities, or schools in general anymore, they indoctrinate.

The sad thing is that a 34 should be average for a person that went to college.

I've taken the Wonderlic and I would be very depressed if I only scored a 34.

I would like to take it out of curiosity

The issue for a lot of that it is timed, not the difficulty of the question

Yep, the big fail when they drafted Claiborne was that they didn't investigate his mental makeup in detail (The scout didn't think he would be an option so they didn't do the work).

God yes I remember this.
I think we have really for the first time in a long while, got our scouting department humming. From McClay on down (He is the facilitator that molds it all together) - and these last couple of drafts really show it. Now, some scouts may come and go, but Jerry and Co. really need to make a concerted effort to keep this group intact. Including especially McClay, keep that man happy !
As to Claiborne, I remember it the same way. The scouting department did not due their due diligence as they thought he would be long gone. FAIL.
And then after the draft and his wonderlic came out, I remember Claiborne's excuse was that his people told him it did not matter so he did not take it seriously. Now, knowing what we know now, that just goes' to his elitist college mentality (if, in fact that is true and he is not just dumb as rocks) as why would it not matter ?
I feel really good about how the scouting dept. and the F.O. and coaches are all working together, the continuity of all 3 department's really benefit the Cowboys right now.

What does this even mean?

I don't think we can compare this year's draft to the epic one of 2016, but I'm excited to see what these young players can do.

There are obviously plenty of reasons to be excited for the last two draft classes. Clearly the Cowboys front office deserves a ton of credit. McClay, Jason, Stephen and the rest really know what they are doing.

Having said that here is something to consider:

The Cowboys have 10 draft picks next year.

Jaylon has the potential to really take last year's haul to legendary status. Note that we didn't draft a single LB his year...that, to me, says that management is extremely confident in his recovery and ability to contribute in a major way this season.

Great post...I was pretty confident we'd draft a LB this year. The fact we didn't shows that they are pretty confident Jaylon is ready to roll.

[cowboyddrippler]

so you are saying we regress this year because we finished 14th last year.

I didn't say 15th. Top 15 can be from 1-15. Remember 4-5 new rookies or 2nd year players will be starting.

 

[Cowboy06]

Holy hell!

Once you get down that low, it really doesn't matter. A 4, 6, or 7 is all about the same, lol.

you outta quit! lol...funny...but just so wrong...but so funny....
