No an idiot is a man that thinks he knows all the answers but doesn’t work in football but cries on message boards that he knows more than a highly respected man who has spent his life in the game. Sound like anyone you know?
The CowboysZone Awards threads ended years ago in the Off-Topic Zone. I must admit this thread is kinda inspiring me to bring the awards back for the upcoming offseason.
Hitting on first round picks is no given , but I get your point.
Kofax with the sinker!
So I understand every personnel guy not associated with the cowboys has hit on every draft pick from the 1st round down to the 7th round. No one but McClay has had some clunkers? Lets talk about DTs, he added Maliek Collins everyone here thought he would the next coming, he added Gallimore everyone here thought he was also the next coming. He Added Hill, Odiggy, Bohanna etc. You can complain they have not panned out or suck but he has added guys. Low 1st round and 2nd round players are probably the hardest players to grade, they have obvious faults but also have talent levels with guys drafted above them call them high floor low ceiling players, the one thing the draft process that is subjective is getting a read on a players work ethic once they get to the NFL. It is hard to figure out which guys will coast after get a few million dollars sprinkled into their pockets and the ones that can't settle for the 1st contract.
oxy and booze is one helluva combo I hear.
I think you should stop the "everyone" thingie.

Why avoid the question, you are the one saying not using the right draft capital to draft DTs. I gave you a list of DTs drafted in the 1st 3 rounds for the last 5 years. Which one of those tackles would have helped that Dallas should have drafted? There is what 3-5 over that 5 year period that are All-Pro/Pro-Bowlers. Vea, Payne, and Q. Williams being the best of the group but were off the board by the time Dallas drafted.
I'm not, just been over this many many times before. Your question is more of a copout than a real question. You're approaching it from the wrong angle. Your way of thinking is that it's hard, so don't even try.
