BoTB All-Time Cowboys Final Draft Results: Four Writers, Four Teams... It's On!

by KD Drummond on Jul 17, 2011 10:36 PM CDT in Dallas Cowboys General

The final pick has been made, it's time to publish the results of the BTB BoTB fantasy draft. I took care of all the particulars in the last post, so this one we can dedicate to just the results. If you'd like a recap of the rules of our exercise, go here.

I think I speak for all of the writers involved that it was a blast participating in this, and it's only getting started. Following this post, each writer will have a chance to politic for support; we will submit a post explaining our philosophies in roster building. From there, we'll begin with the semifinals and on to the finals. Without further ado, here are the complete rosters.

Question to the panel

If you could what would you do over? and Why?….J/C…..

Here’s a theoretical play from last year: Snap. Tony takes 7 step drop. Tony looks left at Miles, who is doubled, and looks right to where Roy Williams should be…but instead sees Colombo on his back and a Defensive End foaming at the mouth jumping over Marc’s carcass. Tony proceeds to run like hell and look for Witten

For me, it was picing Witten too early.

I thought hard about taking Harvey Martin then, but thought either he or Haley wold be available the next time around, and I was wrong. As a result, I was the one guy without an elite weakside end, and my D-line played catchup the rest of the draft.

Keg's DL is ridiculous

by DEL1SLE on Jul 17, 2011 10:50 PM CDT reply actions

yeah...

though OCC’s LB core is insane!!!

by I am Ironman!!! on Jul 17, 2011 10:54 PM CDT up reply actions

and Rabble has a Sick WR/TE core

and Kegs OL AND DL are just crazy good!

While I think I have the most dominating OLine, specially for what my offense is gonna try to do, Rabble’s is really solid too, just with some less known names. I was upset to miss out on Mr. Dependable Tom Rafferty (was gonna have him center my line) and i would have loved to get Herb Scott, very solid guard. Also, for KD’s SeanPayton offense, he has some great passblcoking OTs to go beside his bruiser OGs when Emmitt runs his beloved lead draw with Richie leading the way.

I would like to state for the record

that my squad has five Hall of Famers…

for what its worth!

I wonder

if those guys that simulate thousands of games could put these lineups thru a series of games and see what the results are, should be interesting to see.

by DCowboy on Jul 17, 2011 11:31 PM CDT reply actions

Jesus those lists make me proud to be a Cowboys fan.

At first glimpse, I’d go with Keg. Great trench play, sufficient skill position, and good safeties to cover LB and CB deficiencies(?).
I can’t wait to hear each writer’s logic and stump-talk.

Give me UR calls! Give me highstepping by CBs and PRs entering the endzone! Give me screaming on the sidelines and headbutting! Give me Fortitude, Solidarity and VIOLENCE! Bring me CHAMPIONSHIPS!
Bring me Ridolin LOL! - B'nSB

OCC's ain't to Shabby

While his DL isn’t anything to sing to Mama about, his LB core and Secondary more than make up for it….
And his Offense is pretty Solid…Great QB, two very good RBs, and two above avg TE’s…..

by I am Ironman!!! on Jul 17, 2011 11:43 PM CDT reply actions

I like OOC's to win

He gets Garrett, Ware, Staubach, AND Sanders?

That’s just not fair. lol. That, and Cliff Harris is one of my favorite Cowboys (he comes from my alma mater, Ouachita Baptist).

yeah add that to

Greg Ellis, Chuck Howley, Ken Norton Jr, and Everson Walls? dude that is a sick Defense

Yeah

His offense has a lot of weapons, especially for hitting Payton’s deep pass plays.

lol I love how the QB's dropped after the 1st two! Build the trenches and the D, smart

Pessimists say the cup is half-empty, while optimists say it's half-full. Well, isn't it both? Realist Larry, 2009

by Realist Larry on Jul 18, 2011 12:30 PM CDT reply actions

yep

once Staubach and Aikman were gone, it wasn’t much difference between Romo and Meredith, although Romo holds a slight edge for me (which is why I ended up taking him). The gamble was whether or not Rabble would corner the QB market early.

The draft order helped.

Yup

Besides the fact that I was building a team that any smart and tough QB could find success, the list of available QBs made the decision to wait pretty easy.

I thought I lucked out by the draft order, loved the double picks at the end of the snake. The rosters were key. I had a team design that had a lot of great players in Cowboys history to choose from, and a reason I could wait so long before getting Landry some LBs, but positions like DB must have been a pain for teams that have to rely on them – especially after OCC cornered the market with his great secondary (which I kind of did with the DL – though that list is sooo much longer.)

by Kegbearer on Jul 18, 2011 1:20 PM CDT up reply actions

Indeed-- I was planning on the elite secondary after I picked Renfro and thought I'd be able to steal Sanders

because of his relatively low Cowboys AV (see my very next selection of T.O.).

I was handicapped because I have two ‘outsider’ coaches lol, but I feel like I have the offensive side in spades. I got 3 OL that are top 30 all time Cowboys AV, plus Free and Gurode. To block for Emmitt? With Anderson out the backfield? OMG… Romo would win every MVP ever.

HAHA

Yeah, I think your team is hands down the most explosive offense, but I’ve gotta say, I don’t know if any QB will have the time to throw downfield with my Front 7 dominanting the line of scrimmage. In fact, i don’t know how many QBs even survive the game against them, HAHA, but Tony is very mobile

by Kegbearer on Jul 18, 2011 2:55 PM CDT up reply actions

Rabble's O is competition in the explosion department

because of Hayes’ elite speed and the fact you just can’t stop Jason Witten. We have the offensive teams, you and OCC have the defensive ones, with each having big talent on the other sides.

Should be very interesting indeed. I have to figure out a way to get these games simultated if it takes me the entire season.

That's what's so great!

Each team is great in it’s own way, with these type of players, you see how even great teams faced off with opposing schemes will react. great imaginary game of chess with Cowboys greats.
