You could not have said that any better. Jerry was a big fan of Al Davis and since dumping JJ, has followed Al's practices pretty close. I remember as a Raiders fan, that towards the end, Al tried to draft players only for the splash and not necessarily for need. It seems that Jerry is following in those footsteps. I expect the Cowboys to go the same way the Raiders did at the end of Al's ownership. BTW, very glad to see his son Marc is doing decent things for them. Not sure if Stephen will do the same for the Cowboys when it becomes his turn.
You will need to do more potential Michigan draft picks since the Cowboys want to prove they can actually draft a Wolverine in top 2 rounds of draft that can actually be above replacement level. If first you dont succeed, try, try, try and try again.
There are all sorts of folks that think RB are a dime a dozen. I will tell you that some of the "best " OL groups I coached were blocking for special RB
Interesting to see a 1st round grade on Sweat, as it looks like he’ll be around in the 2nd.
Based on the number of QBs, WRs and CBs expected to be picked top 25, seems also certain we could trade down to the turn and choose from Sweat or the second-tier OLs (Barton, Morgan, Frazier etc). But we are missing out on a JPJ or a Mims in that scenario.
Yes, we should be clear about these. These are not "where will they be taken", rather this IS "my thoughts about what kind of player they will be as pros."
Late stage Al Davis, sans any trace of prior football acumen, has become unbearably tiresome.
Add nepotism to the equation.
Here we are.

Appreciate your draft work Bob! Let’s hope the Cowboys don’t trade back to get that extra 4th round pick and end up losing JPJ if he’s there at 24.
It has never before come to this, but the Dallas Cowboys are now the weak sister of DFW sports.

What if the first comes down to Barton, Guyton or Sims, and we can’t find a trade down partner?
