Cowboys Draft Board Leaked (interesting tidbits)

Picture is courtesy of Theebs.
From this pic, it looks as if the column on the left were our 1st round grades.. column next to it was our 2nd round grades, and so on.
Right under Jerry's arm it says "Dallas 2-55" and that's where we took Lee.
A couple of interesting tidbits:
-We had a 1st round grade on Navorro Bowman, who went in the 3rd to the Niners. He would have been our pick at 59 had we not traded up for Lee.
-We had the 2nd tier safeties ranked in this order: 1. Allen 2. Burnett 3. Mays.
-We had a 3rd round grade on Wooten... He went a few picks before us in the 4th, and that's when we traded down and took AOA. I think we take him if Chi-town doesn't.
-We had a 3rd round grade on 49ers 1st rounder Anthony Davis.
-Jerry's arm seems to be covering three names: Bryan Bulaga (judging from the 1-23), and probably Dez Bryant and Earl Thomas.
This is all speculation but I think it's a pretty educated guess based on the fact that Jerry said we had a first round grade on Lee, which matches up with the column in the picture.

this is really weird
I’m not sure what to make of it. It doesn’t seem useful in any way.
Your comment isn't useful in any way.
We’re getting a look at how our front office viewed this year’s draft class, round by round.
I meant the board, not the picture. I just couldn’t grasp what the significance of all the information was, but the comments are helping… Thanks for posting!
some more help.
Based on the layout, It seems like the original board was filled with individual magnetic strips with the players name and measurements (see Jerry’s hand). When the players were drafted their card was removed from the board and replaced with: players last name, first initial. team, round-pick (ex. Joseph, L. NYG 2-46). So, at the time when this picture was taken, all the remaining player cards represent players still available. Also, It looks like Jerry is in the process of taking Clay Harbor (Eagles 4-125) off the board. Dallas drafted right after Philly and took Akwasi Owusu-Ansah at 126. According to their board, Akwasi Owusu-Ansah was the BPA at the time (4-1) and, presumably, that’s part of the reason they took him.
The names in the 1st column are in order of selection
the numbers to the right of them are where they were ranked, by round and within each
round. So,
Maurkice Pouncey was 1-18, meaning 1st round grade, 18th overall.
read accordingly.

also,
it appears in some cases that the numbers on the left hand are marked in order of actual selection, not of ranking.
No, the names are probably in order of their likings
Then it says the team, the round and pick where they were selected. Pouncey, M Pitt 1-18; Wilson, K Jets 1-29;

I got it,
Needed to clean my glasses a bit to see it.
It’s pretty clear that unless there is a name above Bradford’s and Dez is the top player on the board, that the obscured names are probably
1-10: Iuputi
1-11: Bryant
1-12: Dez.
1-13 Bulaga
Now, if there are two people (Mosley and my source) putting Dez in either top 8 or top 5, maybe he’s above Bradford? That would put Iuputi 11th, Thomas 12th, somebody 13th, Bulaga 14th and Lee 15th, which makes “top 16” make more sense.
Who
Uh, I have Dez twice at 11 and 12,
One of those two is cleary Earl Thomas, My bad.
Except that it would be
Bryant, 1-24 (since he was the 24th pick)

I'd trade Sean Lee
in a second for Bowman, Morgan and Asamoah. And would have been possible. Move down in the 2nd into an early 3rd. Get an extra, early 4 for doing so. And keep our two late 4s.
Iupati is one of the names under his arm
Dez Bryant, Miles Austin, Jason Witten, Felix Jones = defensive coordinator's Kobayashi Maru scenario
Bulaga is under the arm, like you said
Then 2 names between Iupati and Bulaga, totally blocked
Dez Bryant, Miles Austin, Jason Witten, Felix Jones = defensive coordinator's Kobayashi Maru scenario
They had a 2nd rd on Koa Misi
Dez Bryant, Miles Austin, Jason Witten, Felix Jones = defensive coordinator's Kobayashi Maru scenario
2nd rd grades
Devin McCourty, Demaryius Thomas, Koa Misi, Jerry Hughes, Brandon Graham, Nate Allen, Morgan Burnett, Taylor Mays, (covered name), Dan Williams, Kareem Jackson, Ryan Matthews, Brian Price, Rob Gronkowski, Brandon Ghee, Jimmy Claussen
Dez Bryant, Miles Austin, Jason Witten, Felix Jones = defensive coordinator's Kobayashi Maru scenario

Vlad Ducasse had a 4th rd grade
Dez Bryant, Miles Austin, Jason Witten, Felix Jones = defensive coordinator's Kobayashi Maru scenario
Thaddeus Gibson almost became a Cowboy
Dallas had a 3rd rd grade on him, Steelers took him at 4-116 just before the Cowboys were up, Dallas traded pick 4-119 with Miami.
This is highly interesting. Thanks for posting it.

Looks Like Sean Lee
Was rated about their 14th best player in the draft. The arm obscures first round picks 10 through about 13. The first round ranking was:
1. Bradford
2. McCoy
3. Suh
4. Okung
5. Trent Williams (!)
6. Berry
7. McClain
8. Haden
9. Spiller
10. Iupati (best guess; all but the “I” is obscured)
11. Obscured
12. Obscured
13. Bulaga
14. Lee
15. Odrick
16. Pierre-Paul
17. Morgan
18. Wilson
19. Pouncey
20. Bowman
21. Best
22. Alualu
23. Gresham
What interesting is that Jerry said Bryant was a top 10 pick, and Raf said his source told him he was a top 5 pick. Assuming this list is in descending order, it contradicts both statements.
What is also interesting is that the list contains two running backs, one tight end and one probable OLB project (Paul Pierre). Makes me wonder what they would have done had any of those guys fallen to them.
11 and 12 are likely Bryant and Thomas
Maybe if Bryant was the #11 was why Jerry said he was a top 10 guy.
Also it looks like we graded the Iggles 1st round pick as a 2nd rounder!
And the Eagles
Overpaid to move up to draft a second rounder with pick 13. The media swoons all over their drafts, but their history is mixed, at best. We get more value from our picks then they do with theirs’. Gotta love it.
Thomas is shown on the second round list, towards the top, so I’m wondering if the missing first rounder is Weatherspoon.
I think that's
Thomas the WR from GT, not the Safety from UT.

Well, every team has their own board
the bigger question now is whose board is better?
We’ll know in 2-3 years.
Sooooo
Glad we didn’t get JP-P. That would’ve RUINED my draft day.
Also, maybe it’s possible that Jerry and Raf were actually both right, because maybe he was viewed as a consensus top-5 pick but with the suspension and all they dropped him to 11. Maybe that was where they dropped him because of the added risk of his baggage. I’m basically saying that given all his talent and all his baggage, 11th was the highest they’d go on him, but without the baggage he would’ve been a top-5 guy, which would support what both Jerry and Raf said.
I had the exact same thought about Dez' ranking
Its a combined ranking. Talent wise he was top 5 or 10. Character brought him down to 12/13 overall.
Unless (drumroll please)
the camera cuts off the top of the list, and Dez is 1-1.
That could be, I guess
but wouldn’t your sources be more likely to say “we had him as the best prospect on the board!” than “he was a top 5 pick on our board” if he were the number 1?
Or could that have been simple hyperbole?
when before he was suspended people
talked about him being top 3 talent

looking at the links of the white board below
I think they had Bradford as the top guy. The very top of the board has the Rams sticker, and no writing is above it. Right next to the Rams sticker is Bradford. I think Bryant was being blocked by Jerry’s arm.
But I’m tired and on pain pills from my dental extractions. I might be wrong.
I think they were right on about Davis....49ners reached big time on Davis...he is a 2nd or 3rd round tackle, but was overrdrafted based in need.
"Austin made the play, Austin saved the day" Brad Sham

Wow this is very intriguing
So the Cowboys must LOVE Sean Lee, and thought that ILB was a huge need. The guy is ahead of Pouncey.

There are 23 names, visible and obscured in the 1st round column
Hitzges reported there were 23,
I was told there were 25.
So, is that the full list in that photo, or are two names, one high and one low, obscured?
is Dez Bryant in the 11 or 12 slot, or is he number one?
Intriguing, no?
Nope, there are 23 players listed in the first column.
I have a higher res. pic but it wouldn’t fit, but it’s the same as above.
The only columns that extend further down that you can’t see in the pic were the 3rd and 4th round prospects.
Okay,
still, Dallas came away with two players from its top 15.
The last time it did that was two year ago, when Felix and Mike Jenkins were both in almost the exact same areas on their board.
Those two picks turned out well. Cross your fingers and hope history repeats itself.
BTW, can you forward me the higher res photo. I’d like to pore over it some more and my eyes are glazed trying to read this one.

Can’t tell any names from this link, but it can show you how far the columns extend:
Awesome
That is much easier to read. Thanks again for posting this.

by Cowboysaficionado on Apr 25, 2010 1:51 PM CDT up reply actions
What do you make of the magnet placeholders?
There are 23 first round names, then a magnet beneath Jermaine Gresham
There’s a magnet to the right of Jerry’s hand on the photo and one behind him,
in the 3rd round column which is obscured and another at the bottom of the
3rd round grades, just below the DE Neal’s name.
Are these players they ranked and then removed from their board? Strange.
Let me also add that by this board
nobody went crazier on draft day than A.J. Smith, who jumped up from 28 to 12 and gave up a mint to get Ryan Matthews,
who rates a solid 2nd round grade here.
So Ducasse and Linval Joseph were 4th?
interesting. Thats why we didn’t take Ducasse in the 2nd.
Where is AOA?? Either under Jerry’s arm in the second or one of the typed slips in the third (probably the typed slips lol)
and finally, I don’t think these names are in order. Bradford, Suh, McCoy? Berry at 6? this seems to just be a list of first rounders in some near order of where they’d go. It looks like a mock till you get down lower. I seriously doubt this is the order of our scouts grades.
Yeah, actually it is
It’s a board in progress.
Look at where the hand is reaching You see the laminated tags of players still on the board. You can see Clay Harbour’s and Carlton Mitchell’s.
As the players are drafted, the tags are removed, and the names are written in with marker, with the place where they were selected and the team selecting them, in the tag’s place.
ok
Yea, I see that. Looks like this board is around pick 118.
that doesn’t mean that this board is the order of our scouts grades though right? like it seems all we did was put our 23 first round grades in 23 draft slots somewhat according to mock drafts.
No, this is the board
go over and see where they rank guys. The top 8 -10 picks go according to their board and then it gets all crazy in the 2nd ten.
Look for Ryan Matthews and Brandon Graham. Top 15 players in the actual draft, but high
2nds on Dallas’ board.
tyson alualu doesn't look so crazy here
he’s 1-22 on Dallas’ board, right ahead of Jahvid Best and Jermaine Gresham.
not as big as Ryan Matthews
and what the Chargers gave to get him. Or Philly flipping two 3rds for Brandon Graham.
I just find it hard to believe
we have bradford ranked 1…Not Suh, McCoy or Berry? the first 10 look absolutely like a mock draft, then the next picks look (mostly) like a list of names and who should take them given our first round grades.
well he's a QB most everyone agrees will be good
by AustonianAggie on Apr 25, 2010 4:13 PM CDT up reply actions
so what?...
And actually from what I’ve read most think hes limited compared to other qb prospects. Its seemed nearly unaminous that Suh, McCoy and Berry are better prospects.
position can still carry enough weight to force him to the top
balancing the value that Bradford can bring to help a team win, he brings more the Suh or McCoy
by AustonianAggie on Apr 25, 2010 8:45 PM CDT up reply actions
sure, but we're not most teams
We have a qb, and I’d bet my house that if Berry and Bradford fell, we’d pick berry. And I would bet that most teams graded Berry better as a player than him too.
Maybe its just that we had no shot at these guys, but that top 10 looks too much like a mock for my comfort.
what I find interesting
is that if you look on the right it seems there were people we rated as 7th rounders that were being drafted when guys we rated as 4th rounders were still available
exactly
I’m trying to figure out how many players they assigned 3rd round grades.
they gave 23 1sts and
17 or 18 2nds, so the
3rd round grades began around pick 42 or so. this is why they whooped it up over getting Lee at 55. Not only was he the last 1st on their board, but the 2nds were pretty much all gone too.
I think
and my eyes are bleeding trying to figure this out, that they gave 30 3rd round grades.
so that means that they got a player they rated 75th on their board with that late 4th rounder. He was the top 4th grade on the board.
Can you guys really see his name on that
tag? All I see is a big blur.
by Cowboysaficionado on Apr 25, 2010 2:30 PM CDT up reply actions
You can see the "Ansah"
And it’s a three word name.
Wow, from looking at this you really get a sense of how differently teams value players.
I guess it all depends on scheme and profiles teams want there players to match.
Looks like McCluster had mid 3rd round grade with the cowboys and went at the top of round 2 to the Chiefs.
Interesting. Lets just hope that are board is best.
Crossing fingers
So true, T
I heard Hitzges say on Saturday morning that several reporters were asking Tom Coughlin why he took DT Linval Joselph over Sean Lee when they severely needed a top flight MLB. His response was that they liked Lee, but that Joseph was rated significantly higher on their board.
This is such a great point ... and one so easily overlooked!
Every team spends a ridiculous amount of time obsessing on the nuances of how each player’s talents will project to the next level. It’s an art and a science, and nobody is perfect at projecting. That Dallas had Lee rated as a top-flight talent and the Giants had him significantly below Linval Joseph speaks to the subjectiveness of the entire process.
Will Lee succeed at the next level? Based on his baby-faced looks alone, some people want to write him off. Others are sure that any Penn State LB is worth their weight in gold. The bottom line is that only time will tell. Recently, the Cowboys have had their share of hits … and busts.
My money is on Lee being a very solid contributor… and perhaps even a pro-bowl caliber LB that we’ll all come to love. Dat with a bit more god-given size and speed. But that is merely my own prayer … an opinion worth as much as anyone that’s sure he’ll be a bust and that JJ and Wade draft only morons.
Try not to get into a pissing match with a skunk :)
Does anybody see Charles Brown on that board?
I’m looking for the Oline prospects. Ducasse had a 4th round grade; John Jerry had a 4th as well; Roger Saffold had a low 3rd round;
Looks like Jerruh and his FO weren’t really fond of the Oline kids.
by Cowboysaficionado on Apr 25, 2010 3:07 PM CDT reply actions
yeah that's the impression I'm getting overall
they didn’t see a lot of value in the OL in this draft. more value other places
Most draft "experts" said that this was a weaker interior line class
But i’m surprised at Saffold. A lot of teams (Bucs, Chiefs, Vikings…) said if he was at their pick in the second round that he wouldn’t pass them. And he only netted a third round grade on our board.
quality inside info
depending on what comes of this board, I wonder if we can convince Dallas Cowboys to just make this info public every year after the draft. I’d buy it
This is the best I could do.

The fact that they had Veldheer as a 6th is another big wow for me. It makes me wonder if the Cowboys ever thought about drafting Oline outside of the 1st.

"Everybody wants something but nobody wants to pay the price" - Michael Irvin

Has to be. Veldheer, but a 6th Rd value? No way!
Veldheer didn't look good in the Texas vs. Nation game
he is more of a Joel Bell than a Sebastian Vollmer
2009 BTB Fantasy Champ... Deal with it
Thanks for the list
According to the board, the eagles were huge reachers taking Kafka, Te’o, and Graham a whole round earlier than our scouts had them.
Also I think I see that Dan LeFevour is a 7th Round grade, and Mitch Petrus is a 4th round grade.
It Says Something About
How our franchise views the Eagles’ ability to draft that we are willing to hand them more draft picks to make a trade. It’s almost like we’re saying, “here, have some extra picks, we don’t think you’ll be able to hurt us with them, and we’ll be able to hurt you”. That’s cajones!
Thanks for the extra players' names.

"We'll see." --Bill Parcells
Looking back it this process
I must say, I never really expected us to take an offensive lineman high in this draft. As others have said, history suggests we haven’t done this is nearly 30 years. Additionally, I was more excited about O-Line prospects of 2007-2009. These guys in this year’s draft weren’t MUST HAVE guys. Rather, they were blah to me. However, once our season came to a crashing halt a Minnesota, I started talking myself into the notion that we desperately need to go O-Line in the draft as opposed to just looking to upgrade the talent level of this team overall. In all honesty, it makes wise FO sense as well as sound business judgment to place value over need unless you can satisfy both with one pick. With that being said, once it became clear that most “experts” as well as Florio and Bill Simmons either had us taking Campbell or Mays in the 1st round I became more and more convinced that Dez Bryant, Iupati, or Earl Thomas would be the only 3 guys we’d make an attempt to get in the 1st round, and even then, I felt like it would be more plausible that we’d trade up for Thomas or Bryant when you consider we don’t take lineman in the 1st round. Overall, I love this draft and I think we will be fine this season and for many years to come.
Why do i look at Popivich with a arm around a player talking with 2 minutes left, and get jealous?
by semsemma on Mar 10, 2010 8:00 PM PST
In a way it is reassuring to see all these o-lineman having low grades.
It makes me feel good that Dallas wasn’t necessarily minimizing the o-line as a need, but rather drafting for extremely strong value (which the o-line didn’t obviously have).
If I had a nickel for every Super Bowl the Eagles have won, I would have zero nickels.
Anyone see where either C. McCoy to Tebow was at?
I am curious at what point would they have had t o slip for there to have been value for the Cowboys to pick either one.
JD’s like, "you want some fucking pitching? Here’s all the pitching you can stand. Now choke on it, bitches!"- RCCook
McCoy is there in the third, right by Jerry's watch
I don’t see Tebow at all – either his name is covered or ineligible somewhere or he wasn’t on our board
I think Tebow is one of the 2nd round obscured
look at the end of one of those names and you’ll see Denver
Firstly, I think this is pretty awesome, as a fan; however...
If I am JJ, I am pretty pissed this picture gets leaked. After all, why reveal your poker hand, even after the game? JBell, do you have any idea how Theebs got this? JJ appears to be looking directly at the camera. Do you have any more sourcing info?
Thanks for the great post.
Unless, of course, JJ released this himself...
Not what I would do, but then again, I don’t own a billion dollar enterprise.
If you watch below
I can’t recall which of these videos it was, but one of these videos is where the picture was taken from I believe. That would be a pretty big error if JJ didn’t want it shown.

yeah I was wondering if someone would get fired for this
FO should be able to identify who took the pictures.
easily
if that feed was taped, they wouldn’t have a problem finding out who took the picture.
So, would they have taken Lee in the first if Dez wasn’t available? Or traded down to the early second, picked up an extra pick or two, then picked Lee?
wow
this board would’ve exploded if we picked lee first
I was about to ask the very same question
Man, I would have been super pissed if we would have taken Lee in the first round. Super Pissed.
O Line
Frankly I cannot say that I am confident that this team has the slightest idea how to rate O linemen at all. Considering what I have heard from other sources what other teams have had to say (and this is from teams that have done a lot better growing their OWN O line) they had some of the guys (like Veldheer) much higher.
It looks like if Lee had not been available in round 2, we would have picked another linebacker Navarro Bowman
It is also apparent that since Iupati and Pouncey were the last well-rated OL by the Boys, they were not going to pick ANY OL high in this draft.
This is good stuff..even if I know my team's board looks nothing like this
I always thought Jerruh used a dart board :)
Interesting that he had my team’s pick, JPP at #16 (so apparently according to him…we did fine on the board)
But I know Jerry Reese had JPP as the #6 overall player.
And I highly doubt the Giants had Sean Lee as a first rounder or else they would not have passed on him in the 2nd round.
Either way, interesting to see how the acutal teams that rank players put them..instead of us arm chair GM/scouts.
