Whoa! That draft class… Ugh.

That's exactly what I said

Is playing smart too much to ask?

Was Mike Hamlin this week or last week?

by JimmyK on Oct 15, 2010 2:06 PM CDT up reply actions

Tuesday this week

The 2009 class are dropping like flies

I think we only have Buehler and the 4 LB's left now

Gosselin has been saying

’09 Draft class may be worst in NFL history. DAL certainly doing its part.

Wow. This just gets worse and worse. The O line drafting, and lack thereof,

is a disaster.

by Fernie67 on Oct 15, 2010 2:02 PM CDT reply actions

And there I was hoping that Brewster would at least be an option at guard

I’d given up on him as a tackle some time ago.

by One.Cool.Customer on Oct 15, 2010 2:03 PM CDT reply actions

so sam young is better?

by ratware on Oct 15, 2010 2:18 PM CDT reply actions

Yep

Brian Broaddus per ESPNDallas during camp:

Offensive tackle Sam Young has outplayed Robert Brewster so far in camp and this doesn’t surprise me at all given Young’s college background. [For Brewster] a move inside to guard might be in the works.

by One.Cool.Customer on Oct 15, 2010 2:23 PM CDT up reply actions

I'm kind of surprised

They could have cut him before the season. Great job managing the OL. He should have never been moved to Tackle. The guy would’ve had a better chance at Guard, I think.

by APerfectStar on Oct 15, 2010 2:23 PM CDT reply actions

this is really quite surprising

considering some of the utter dross that has accrued vested veteran status while littering the OLine depth charts the past few years (mcquistan, proctor, berger, al johnson, hell even tyson walter). i’m really hard pressed to believe there aren’t other behind the scenes issues that factored into this (i.e character issues) simply more than the staff realizing he can’t play, considering that he was admittedly drafted as a project, is still only in his 2nd year, and #71 still has a roster spot despite his demonstrated level of play.

by NinoP on Oct 15, 2010 2:29 PM CDT reply actions

Oh my God

12 picks in that draft. 4 cut, 1 on IR forever, Phillips on IR, Brandon and Jason Williams complete non-factors, Manny Johnson practice squad, Buehler on his way to get cut and McGee still unkown. WOW

It All Adds Up to

1 and three

by Iowacowboy on Oct 15, 2010 6:04 PM CDT up reply actions

this is just

a horrible draft class. I guess they are rethinking that they should have traded up instead of down. 5 cut (Mickens, Johnson, Hamlin, Smith, Brewster) 1 on PUP (Hodge), 1 inactive each week (after being on IR last year) (Williams)

Only time will tell for Butler, Buehler and McGee.

Phillips is the only gem of this horrible class and he currently sits on IR!

by textaz03 on Oct 15, 2010 3:34 PM CDT reply actions

Not horrible at all

Jerry said he traded down to get value and that is true. He doesn’t have to pay their salaries anymore.

I guess

that’s one way to look at it

And who said nobody reads fanshots?

by One.Cool.Customer on Oct 15, 2010 3:41 PM CDT reply actions

Actually I usually don't

But every time a cut comes up it gets here first.

I know

not many people do come to this section, but I found it unusual that this fanshot already has 19 comments and counting.

by One.Cool.Customer on Oct 15, 2010 3:51 PM CDT up reply actions

Are Hits Counted?

Or is it only guaged by the number of comments?

We are horrible at scouting Olinemen.

I hope they rethink their whole template and strategy.

by Luke. on Oct 15, 2010 4:00 PM CDT reply actions

I wouldn't be surprised...

to see Brewster reappear on the Practice Squad if he clears waivers.

Rabid and luvin' it

by lonewolfz28 on Oct 15, 2010 4:16 PM CDT reply actions

Brewster was the 75th pick of the 2009 draft

Brandon Tate, WR/KR went at #83
Mike Wallace, WR went at #84
Ladarius Webb, CB went at #88

you can do that with almost every team in every draft

by mahuebel on Oct 15, 2010 4:57 PM CDT up reply actions

and for 2009, you can do it for almost every Dallas pick

Just thought it would be of interest to Cowboy fans

god what a f'n waste

im not even gonna name all the players we could have a guy we just cut
why cut him cut Barron Brewster might be a good guard

by Archie Barberio on Oct 15, 2010 5:25 PM CDT reply actions

This starts to become an indictment of Tom Ciskowski

Looking back at the 2007-2010 drafts, people have to question who we took and why, given our obvious needs on the OL and at safety. Even the picks we liked might need to be re-examined. Would you take Spencer over Ben Grubbs, Joe Staley and Lamar Woodley? we did.

Not one of those picks from the Jerry-Cisky drafts would crack the top 5 players on the team (Ware, Witten, Austin, Romo, Ratliff) who were all acquired during the Tuna era. The talent we have acquired since Tuna left has not been enough to propel this team to the next level.

very true Blings

and things are shaping up for a big shakeup this offseason. I need the true draftniks to tell me if there were any stud Lineman drafted after the 75th pick last year. I see a few talents at other positions that could have freed us up to draft linemen in other places. Obviously its all hindsight as the guy drafted the pick before Brewster retired from football (Coffee).

by KD Drummond on Oct 15, 2010 6:14 PM CDT up reply actions

Andre Caldwell was right after Brewster

But he’s not really a stud, and he’s playing in a ZBS, I didn’t see any that stood out, but I only looked at it for 5 minutes.

please stop con that tuna stuff

he drafted bobby carpenter, stanback and fasano just to mention a few

by ratware on Oct 15, 2010 7:26 PM CDT up reply actions

I agree that the scouting has to do better.

You can’t have a draft like 2008 (a draft that picked two known-at-the-time backups – Felix and Marty- in the first three picks) and then just follow it up with a whiff in 2009. That is an not a great average. I still hold hope for 2010 (Dez, Lee, and Akwasi give me hope), but I really have to wonder what they think about their O-line template. The one guy they drafted with decent feet (Free) turned out well but they keep drafting stone-footed lineman. Is the causation of that trend really hard to see?

Got a little exclamation point happy did you? I kind of agree...especially when I see how New England always has a crap ton of trades...

There is an artcle for someone to write…How the many teams draft well, how many choices they get and how they utilize their current “stock” to gain more ground. I bet the Cowboys would be middle to bottom of that list.

Even a turd in the bowl can occasionally score a goal...

by UTexan on Oct 15, 2010 8:22 PM CDT up reply actions

I have to Agree

The Cowboys management is giving the appearance that they don’t know what they are doing.

They try to patch a need with the most (2nd?) penalized player in the NFL in Barron. Then that player comes into a game and gives the worst performance that I can remember any Cowboys player give AND he single handedly costs them a game with a brutally stupid penalty. The Cowboys coaches then seem to excuse his play and keep him on the team. BUT they waive a project OL? Not to mention their handling of their need at FS by not doing anything during the offseason to address it.

What are the Cowboys doing? They are looking foolish right now… and I’m not even refering to their poor play.

by playactionman on Oct 15, 2010 10:34 PM CDT reply actions

You're right

Cowboys management doesn’t have a clue what they are doing at all. I hope Jerry and his giant sized ego are happy with this mess he created. I said this during the past draft on the ESPN board they needed to address their lousy OL and that they needed to trade up even if meant giving up extra picks. I wanted Iupati or Pouncey but i said we needed to at least draft two OL last year Jerry thinks Sam Young is a NFL player please he’ll be cut next year if he ever makes it that far.
