Wait, what? Frederick is a top 10 pick in every 2013 redraft. And they were able to trade down to almost the second round and still get him. That was one of their best first round picks ever. I can't believe people still buy into draft day narratives 4 years later.Quote:
Frederick is great but still not first round worthy. He's already gotten paid (too much at that).

Hanna was a 5th RD pick and before injury was their number 2 in front of Escobar.
Julius Jones was a first round bust under Garret and that was his call.

Byron jones and mo Claiborne are great first rounders? Jury is out on jones, mo is a bust.

Zeke, Tyron, Martin. Hard to argue those 3, but that's only 3.

Yeah, but it wasn't LeFluer's fault that his QB sucked... Garrett could have at least develop Chad Hutchinson into a serviceable QB!DannyDuberstein said:
It all went wrong when Garrett drafted David LeFluer with the #1 overall.
It definitely was. Never doubt the influence of Jerry when it comes to picking Hogs.Seor Chang said:
Garrett was still the OC when Felix Jones was drafted. That always seemed like a Jerry pick all the way.

FYI the trade deadline is today at 3:00. Doesn't sound like Dallas is going to do anything on the defensive side of the ball. Not surprising.

Will we get anything for McFadden? 6th rounder maybe?

Felix was absolutely greased lightening early in his rookie year. Played sparingly in pre-season like most guys but he flashed when he got the ball. In his first game as a rookie he almost took it to the house on his very first carry (guy got the tip of his foot)... but he ended up scoring on a 5-10 yard run later in the drive anyway.Ag Natural said:
Ironically, both Julius and Felix were pretty special as rookies and then declined after that. Lets hope that doesn't happen to Zeke.
They picked up Bjornson in the 4th round about 2 years before Novacek was done. But once Novacek retired in '96, they were desperate to find a replacement. So they focused on Gonzalez and LaFleur, which included sending Aikman to throw passes and work them out. Aikman liked LaFleur and they ended up trading up a few picks to make sure they got him.TMACsDaMan said:
I thought Eric Bjornson was the Aikman pick?

Reportedly Cowboys passed on Richardson due to price.
Yeah, isn't Sheldon Richardson the guy who got arrested for going 120mph with a baby in the back seat?jr15aggie said:Reginald Cousins said:

I'm assuming you are talking about Sheldon Richardson? And by price I assume you mean asking price.
If so, then good for the Cowboys. D-line is a big need for them, but it has to be for the right price. No way I'm sacrificing a top draft pick for a guy the Jets are willing to part with. I know little about the guy, but my understanding is he's talented but his off the field stuff and/or locker room stuff makes the team question if he's worth it.
And before we go off saying he'd be worth the risk for a 6th or 7th rounder, we got Anthony Brown in the 6th round this year.
