This guy really looks like a player, but their interior DL is still weak.

There were a couple of good value DTs at 12, or a few picks later. That's probably how they should have gone.

But I don't hate the Edge pick because it's a good value. He could be around and be a factor if he pans out as hoped. He's probably a big step up, but the numbers at the position are weird now.

Might cut the FA pick up or even the Missouri dude from a few years ago who was injured last season.

Their massive needs coming in were WR/RB/DB and they didn’t get either.  
 

They have 1 pick left to really address 3 spots.  Well I guess you could take 2 RBs in the 5th they would be an immediate upgrade too 

And a 4 probably could have gotten a good RB, but they shit that away already.

Right. Even if they had taken an upgrade DT it would have been worth it.

The sooner you guys realize we’re in a full rebuild, the happier you’ll be. Stack trench players that don’t suck (Guyton) and let Dr Doolittle be RB 1 until we can get an actual franchise back

this.  it is obvious they don't give a shit about skill position.  Guyton was such a fucking stupid waste of a pick.  He's from OU and light.  he can't play unless he can hold.

Man I the cowboys didn’t have a massive lack of speed and playmaking on offense, this wouldn’t be a bad start to a draft.  
 

oh well.

Of course they draft a guy who tore his ACL.  I swear to God they let the team doctors and trainers make at least 1 pick a year 

Ya, especially for a CB.

I don’t like this pick.

 

I think an RB or WR would have been much better choice.

I’ve been preaching it all draft. 
 

however, In this case this was the last plausible starting caliber CB left.  Torn AcL or not.  
 

there are still tons of RBs left dnd they can double dip in the 5th if they want. 
 

WR is the issue.  There isn’t anyone left who’s a stud.  We gotta hope they have some miracle trade lined up.

I hope I'm wrong, but I would have taken Noel instead 

I would have too. I just don’t know he’s a difference maker. I’d have liked to see thogh. 
 

the Texans are overloaded at WR now.  And Dallas can’t get one.

He'll be gone in 3 years.

same shit with Mingo.  gave up a 4th round pick to get a guy drafted in the 2nd round.  VALUE!

The steadfast refusal to draft a RB is really incredible. 
 

There’s only one RB on the field. You can’t afford to have a JAG on the field at all times. There’s 5 OL. There’s 4 DL. You can afford to have one or two JAGs there out of the 9. Dak really has to be like WTF.

So the consensus so far is that the draft hasn’t been a disaster. But I’m really wondering what the Cowboys’ plan to win games is with exactly one offensive skill position player worth a shit.

The way forward is to suck this year and then really suck the year after to guarantee the #1 pick for Arch.

I don't think it really matters.  We've had skill guys with Dak and sometimes good and sometimes not good.  the playoffs, Dak may play good with the better skill guys but the D shits the bed, or the other way round.  Not to mention we are at a big disadvantage in the headsets.

We'll have to wait Dak out and then hope we hit on the next QB or a coach that can bring a lights out D to Dallas.  It's a dismal place to be.  I guess building the lines back up is probably the best bet when we have to go hire a new coach in 3 or 4 years.

I am very certain that I am going to get really tired of perpetual "Schotty" nickname, though.

PFF said they would have given the Cowboys a good grade if they took Ezeiruaku in the 1st round. 

Mcshay said Revel is a 1st round talent. 

My biggest complaint about the Cowboys drafting has been drafting for need every year (and not even the right need) and getting average players. They went for most talent this year; so I can't get mad.

The 2025-2026 Cowboys aren't winning the Super Bowl. But the 2026-2027 Cowboys should have more talent to build around.

The biggest failure has been not acquiring another mid round pick with a small trade down. Really, the biggest failure has been the pre-draft trades with which they shit mid round picks away like they were Burger King coupons.

Walker DT from Kentucky was a dude I was really hoping the Cowboys could pick up cheap. Big dude can move and mess shit up, super high ceiling. He gone. Fourth round. Furk.

The Mingo trade pick is...

Trevor Etienne, RB Georgia. Probably more of a complimentary back, but a pretty good player.

I don't haver high hopes for Mingo, but I'm not writing it off either. He has skills to be productive if he has any kind of brain to match.  They didn't have much time to work him in last season. Odds aren't great, but he needs to be worth this pick, even as a competent third guy.

Running backs coming off the board like free samples at Costco.

yep.  RB round now is 4th unless you are a Jeanty/Bijan type.  to- bad we don't have a 4th.  could probably pick up a decent RB.

Unless another 10 backs go off the board there will be one there in the 5th still. Maybe 2.  
 

and they’ll probably pass on him for a DT or tackle. Ugh

Not a bad round for a DT or right tackle, but still a crapshoot.

Yeah, there will be a RB in the 5th, but it's not gonna be the guy you wanted in the 4th that was more talented and a much better fit.

Waiting out the fourth round with no pick is a fuckin' beatdown. Compensatory picks added another 10 slots, and you're seeing some good quality fly off the shelf dirt cheap.

I'll go ahead and curse it, but Ollie Gordon at some point later could be intradesting. Seems like a type they could use.

True, but guys in the 7th would probably be an upgrade over what they have now as well. Not a great situation for a team allegedly dedicated to running the football.

This draft just shows how valuable 4th round draft picks can be for a team, and Dallas has been throwing them away. Ugh. 

That's the desk I've been pounding for months. Even tossing out some of the extra later picks for backup roster fodder screwed their ability to move up and get another four.

Ugh browns have Judkins and Sampson from this draft. Either guy would be amazing here. 

That’s what happens when you trade away 4th round picks for practice fodder.

Draft is fine. That’s not the problem with this franchise, nor is Dak for that matter, but it’s not worth it anymore to argue, I’m just following along hoping to be surprised some year.
