Hopefully he’s protected, if we have an injury at WR, he should be the call up.

He didn't mention Nnadi, that's why I didn't.

I think everybody here agrees that Nnadi was a pretty damn good pick.

The way Veach bragged about the rookie class today (picks AND UDFAs) was very encouraging.

He said he expects several to contribute Thursday night.

Nailing rookie classes is how we sustain a real dynasty that wins Super Bowls, not just goes deep into the playoffs...

Sounds like Veach wants to sign Washington to the PS

Terez said a month before the draft that teams with good consistent staffs like us would kill this year bc of the virus bc of no pro days or visits in person.

I think we killed it

How many of those 17 are new starters? 17 new players seems pretty normal for an NFL roster.

I think 3. Haven't looked at the final tally yet.

Chiefs with no waiver claims. Was hoping to snag Sidney Jones or Rasul Douglas.

Jackson Barton was claimed as was Adrian Colbert.

Veach has been amazing but the 2018 offseason was almost entirely a catastrophe. Hitchens, Speaks, O’Daniel, Fuller, Scandrick...

Veach failed to acquire even one difference maker on defense. And we lost the AFCCG by an offsides call.

Obviously he can’t share all the blame, as Sutton and the players and even Reid share it. But Speaks wasn’t just a miss, he was part of an entire offseason of tragic misses that may have cost us a Super Bowl.

Glad he’s been amazing since, however.

This isn't true. Fuller wasn't a failure and you also have to take into account guys like Charvarius Ward and Nieman and Nnadi.

I didn't like the draft but NFL history is littered with bad first drafts by new GMs
[Reply]

Dieter, Cobb, Darryl Williams, Clemons, Ffrench, Lipscomb all make the PS in addition to Fortson
[Reply]

Didn't even put Speaks on the practice squad?

Wasn't he still using some holdover scouts too?

I don’t wanna make another thread for this, but Cam Erving is going to be the Cowboys starting RT for the first half of the season.

Yikers

Agreed. We whiffed with some picks in that draft, but it’s not like we took a Jamarcus Russell over Adrian Peterson, Joe Thomas, Patrick Willis, and Calvin Johnson. That’s a major reach over obvious elite talent.

If 2018 is our bad draft, I’ll take that.
