April 25, 200520 yr Have a look at their 1st 5 picks; 11 - Demarcus Ware - DE Troy 20 - Marcus Spears - DE LSU 42 - Kevin Burnett - LB Tennessee 109 - Marion Barber the 3rd - RB Minnesota 132 - Chris Canty - DE Virginia Bartber was rated the 4th best running back by the Sporting News War Room, and Canty is a 1st round pick if he didn't get injured in his senior year. Perfect 3-4 DE with Spears if he can stay healthy.
April 25, 200520 yr my favorite pick of their's is Burnett. one of the best linebackers in this draft. i don't know about Ware, didn't play much competiton over at Troy.

April 25, 200520 yr Yeah, it looks good now. You can't really judge a draft for about 3 years after it has taken place. We will see how good of a draft it was then.
April 25, 200520 yr QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Apr 24, 2005 -> 08:25 PM) An excellent draft class. Truly, an A+ grading. I wouldn't say A+ for 2 reasons. Primarily because the general principle of A+ means perfect, and it is next to impossible to have a perfect draft, and I feel this is the same case here. They did have a magnificent draft, I would agree, but they could have used some depth and youth at WR, and didn't address that...but that is about the only beef I have with their draft. I truly feel all drafts could be better, but if you can get an A, you are very happy regardless, and that's probably what I would give them. Secondly, I also wouldn't say it is an A+ draft, because as someone said on here, you really can't tell how good a draft is for a few years afterwards. Probably the best draft by a team in history was by a Steelers team in the 70s - can't remember which one specifically, though I do recall it was the draft that Bradshaw was drafted in - where they ended up with like 7 future HoFers. When you can draft 7 HoFers in the same draft, that is a perfect draft, regardless of whether you addressed all of your needs.

They got an A+

They got an A+ I will give them an A...whether or not you agree does not matter to me. I will refuse to give any team an A+ unless they addressed all of their team needs outstandingly. Dallas could have used depth at WR, and did not address it. Therefore, it is an A.

Terry Glenn Keyshawn Johnson Quincy Morgan that is a very solid 3, not to mention Witten is a TE on the rise... I seriously doubt adding a 4th WR to the group was a major concern for Dallas It doesnt matter what you think they need, they filled what THEY think they needed, they did exactly that.. they get an A+ you can give them whatever you want, I just dont get your judgement on it.. They filled all the important needs they set out to do
April 25, 200520 yr I agree, A++++++. Best Draft Ever. Period. When people of the future think of drafts, they automatically think 2005 Cowboys.

April 26, 200520 yr Author The Cowboys do need a speed receiver. This could be Terry Glenn's last year, so it could be something they'll address in the future, but Terrence Copper looked ok in the short time he played last season, and Patrick Crayton could be a jack of all trades WR if he comes on. But basically when Glenn went down, the Cowboys had no deep threat, so opposition defences could just gang up on Keyshawn and Witten on the line of scrimmage.

You're probably thinking of the 1974 draft when they selected 4 HOF: John Stallworth, Lynn Swann, Mike Webster, and Jack Lambert. They selected Terry Bradshaw and Mel Blount in 1970. They also took Joe Greene in 1969, Jack Ham in 1971, and Franco Harris in 1972. Now THAT is some drafting.

I posted about that 1974 draft a while back as well. 4 hall of famers in the first 5 rounds. But yeah, you gotta give it up to the Cowboys. Holy s***, what a draft. Them and the Chargers keep loading up on D like it's nobody's business. Teams that I will be following closely next year: Dallas Carolina San Diego Baltimore
April 26, 200520 yr Much as it sounds wierd, I like the Cardinals' picks a lot. Rolle is a stud, Arrington is a pretty good RB, and Brown and Blackstock were great picks for where they went in the draft.
