If the BPA for every Cowboy pick is a center, fullback, running back, guard,or tight end we simply do not need to pick that player. BPA at pick 28 is a center.....pass. BPA within reason based on what you need. The only expecting is if it's a generational player. Once in a lifetime type dude who fell
:thumbup:. That is a certainty with the 2nd pick!

Yep. BPA, is a load of crap. Clubs reach, its true, but they reach for what they need most. Are the Cowboys going to draft a QB with the 1 st pick...if he's deemed to be BPA?
Exactly...what is QB is BPA at 28, and the second best player rated at that pick is a Center....

Incorrect. If the best player available is at QB, then draft the next Joe Montana. If the best player is the next Travis Frederick you draft him and Trade Travis Frederick to the highest bidder. It saves you tons of cap and keeps your team young. If you can draft the next Ellliott, then draft the next Zeke. That much talent is a great problem to have.

If the best player available is graded as Marion Barber III then you try to trade out of that spot.

I didn't say that I was just asking a question. You've made excuses for why none of these guys have done anything. Maybe those excuses are legit but they are excuses. Am I suppose to believe that this is the first time in Maranelli's career he's had guys come off injury and try and contribute?

Just asking a question.

I haven't made any excuses at all - I have stated the circumstances that have taken place with the players. The Cowboy defensive line hasn't exactly been overflowing with pass rushing talent since he got to Dallas in 2013. If it has, please tell me who these people are.

If you are asking the question, clearly you have a feeling about it.

If you upgrade significantly over Doug Free, then the line can get a LOT better and the offense would add +7 points to its every game potential.
We scored at will last season. Only reason we didn't score more is because we used the clock to our advantage.

Personally I think Maranelli is getting buy because of his unit statistically is overachieving but with the eye test isn't. I think he should've got more out of Gregory and Hardy but those guys may just not be able to play in this league.

No I didn't but Free wasn't the sole reason for why that game ended up the way it did. No one played well.
he was a big factor,when you are getting beat by rookie DEs on every other snap then you really are bad.

:thumbup:. BPA is just an opinion.
:hammer: Yes! People always argue what the " best" pick is. Heck the scouts didn't even think Dak was worth anything. We got him easily at the end of the fourth after trying to move up for two other qbs

Exactly. I am always saying that BPA is a load!
