Many people seem to hate this draft because we skipped on some name guys, especially on the offensive line and at free safety.
However, if you look at it, the Cowboys feel pretty comfortable about those positions. We have Beariult, Williams, Davis, and Coleman at safety. Williams is the star and we just need Davis or Coleman to be solid.
On the line, the Cowboys obviously have a ton of faith in Kosier and think Petitti, Fabini and/or Colombu can take care of the RT spot.
So, Jones and Parcells didn't consider those areas of need in this draft. Thus, we went after the Best Player Available.
Everyone always calls for the Cowboys to do that, but now that they have done it everyone is upset.
Why are you guys upset? Simply because YOU didn't know about Fasano and Hatcher doesn't mean they are bums.
Look at Rick Gosselin's top 100 player rankings (which most people agree is one of the best available)...
He had Carpenter ranked 18, right where we took him.
He had Fasano ranked at 54 and we took him at 53.
He had Hatcher ranked at 88 and we took him at 92.
That is pretty good value. We went by our draft boards and we took the player we thought was the best player available when we selected. If we saw a couple guys we liked then we traded down and then picked up one of them.
We have 6 picks tomorrow!
I must admit, this draft wasn't sexy. I was hoping for a guy like Ko Simpson (until I heard he is dumb as dirt) or Brodie Croyle (OK, I dated a girl from Alabama once) or some other guy that I had heard talked about and that I thought we needed to fill a need. But hey, that isn't what happened.
These guys spend a heck of a lot more time scouting these players than any of us do. They watch countless hours of tape instead of buying a few magazines and discussing players on message boards.
We had a good, solid draft and we are in a position to pick up several good players tomorrow. Nothing sexy, but meat and potatoes works in the NFL more often then sexy.
