What grade would you give defensive drafting under Garrett (2011-16)?

[DeaconMoss]

Defense Drafting - Grade Z

They have absolutely bombed at getting players that could make a difference

 

[dallasdave]

Dallas is #1 in the league in offensive spending. We spend $84.2 million on offense ( 54.74% of our cap).
Romo is down, but we should still be scoring. All that money.

Dallas is 29th in Dline spending.

I give Garrett a C based on the zone bell curve.

the old bell curve

Lol so he replaced it with younger crap. Id take that 2010 defense over the current trash we have now.

when wade was fired they put pasqualoni in charge of the defense. He played a ton of zone and all of a sudden the defense played really well. Wade was in constant man defense and that is where we were giving up all the points, simple big plays by a guy getting beat in man to man.

I would have kept pasqualoni over what they have hired at defense. The rob ryan thing to this day makes zero sense. None.

I will second the "D" rating for defensive drafting - Garrett, F.O. Marinelli, it makes no difference.
Saw today that Timmy Jernigan is flourishing in Baltimore - remember that whole debacle ? It seems more and more to be the whole defensive philosophy.
The Sheriff Floyd, Fletcher Cox, Timmy Jernigan - not quick twitch theory. All are contributors for their respective teams, with Cox being a stud and Jernigan becoming one. Floyd is a solid contributor in Minny. And ALL would be welcome here on our Dline. Our DT's are undersized, our DE's are undersized, our LBs are undersized. Is it any wonder we are being gashed in the run.
Sure they try hard, but the philosophy just seems floored... So, for me, a solid D.

Garrett isn't drafting

 

[CowboyRoy]

The backup quarterbacks were an embarrassment (as most are), and the defense couldn't hold up. But the story is MUCH bigger than just 1-12.

Lost to Drew Brees in overtime.
Lost to Russell Wilson by one point.
Lost to Philly in overtime.
Lost at New York by 7.
Lost at Tampa by 4.
Then it just became pointless.

Oh, and Dak Prescott just lost by one point to a two-time world champion.

Wrong..............it should have told you that Romo is the key and Garrett cant coach his way out of a paper bag.

 

[Zordon]

This is root of the problem. Defensive drafting has been putrid under Garrett.

As for star free agents......it will get worse, once JJ post game conference gets out there.

I didn't like the Tyrone Crawford extension and I'm not in favor of doing the same with Lawrence. These guys aren't stars. They're just not as bad as some of our other guys.

 

[JBond]

I am not gonna blame Garrett for the draft.

Why?

[waving monkey]

Why?

because he doesn't need to slam Garrett. It's a committee and the committee is doing a good job IMO.

 

[TheHerd]

With a craptastic offensive line, it didn't matter one iota.

The shot gun snaps were the best.

Yep, the Crawford signing was mind numbing. I have always been very leery of any player that only really performs well in his contract year. Hopefully the FO has learned their lessons.

Much better in recent years.

 

[mardwin]

I blame the same people that drafted Felix Jones in the first round
