Cowboy Scouts in Rounds 4-7

[gator]

Why does Jerry Jones have so much loyalty to his scouting department? He's not afraid to dump coaches, but scouts are untouchable. I don't think he's hired a new scout since 2008. They're 0-27 in the late rounds since 2009.

Who's the best player on this list?

Harris and Wilber are the only two that really stand out. Holloman might become something. The rest is shit.

 

[Deuce]

They're 0-27 in the late rounds since 2009.

That's not accurate. At all. Poor record, sure. But Lissemore, Dwayne Harris, Hanna were all solid contributors at any given time and Wilber and Holloman both showed flashes this year.

Yeah, I missed Hanna. If the would actually use him more he would be a good pick. Lissemore has been hurt a lot so hard to judge on him so far.

 

[Deuce]

Yeah, I missed Hanna. If the would actually use him more he would be a good pick. Lissemore has been hurt a lot so hard to judge on him so far.

He was a decent starter in the 3-4. That's productive for a 7th round pick.

 

[Plan9Misfit]

Considering every pick from the 2009 draft was shit, we have little to evaluate.

 

[Rev]

Didn't Josh Wilson go to Buffalo and play decent?

 

[gator]

That's not accurate. At all. Poor record, sure. But Lissemore, Dwayne Harris, Hanna were all solid contributors at any given time and Wilber and Holloman both showed flashes this year.

Those 5 all look more like JAGs than legitimate hits. I'd consider a hit to be an above average starter.

 

[dallen]

Harris is an above average returner..other than that I got nothing. John Phillips was decent for a little bit

 

[Simpleton]

Harris was basically a Pro Bowl ST'er this year, but yea, the vast majority of that is complete shit and the reason nobody is held accountable is because Jerry knows he's the one making decisions. The only reason he fires coaches is because of the ire and attention it draws from the public, nobody ever talks about some random Southwest area scout.

They love trying to draft for special teams on the final day of the draft instead of just looking for the best available players. Their propensity to limit the scope of players they even consider is ridiculously foolish too. We almost always only draft players who visited Valley Ranch. We also usually take at least one player from the "local schools" day. What's the odds that out of all the players in the entire country, one of these local guys is the best available?

Anyways, the great teams generally hit on their early picks and usually will find 1-2 guys late. We rarely find any quality in rds 4-7 and it's hit and miss alot of time with rds 1-3.
