You know something?

If you sit there and think just for a minute how much life Rod Marinelli sucked out of this franchise (or was allowed to), it is just fucking criminal.

it takes four years to fairly grade a draft, but here ya go (from SI)

Dallas Cowboys
Grade: C

  • Round 1: No. 26: Mazi Smith, DT, Michigan
  • Round 2: No. 58: Luke Schoonmaker, TE, Michigan
  • Round 3: No. 90: DeMarvion Overshown, LB, Texas
  • Round 4: No. 129: Viliami Fehoko, DE, San Jose State
  • Round 5: No. 169: Asim Richards, OT, North Carolina
  • Round 6: No. 178 (from Chicago): Eric Scott Jr., CB, Southern Miss
  • Round 6: No. 212: Deuce Vaughn, RB, Kansas State
  • Round 7: No. 344: Jalen Brooks, WR, South Carolina
Analysis: The Cowboys went for need with the run-stopper Smith, but they probably would have gotten a more complete player in Bryan Bresee, who went three picks later to the Saints. Dallas reached for Smith and waited too long to fill the tight end void left by Dalton Schultz. Schoonmaker is a versatile player, but Michael Mayer would have made a bigger immediate impact. Dallas added defensive depth with players Overshown and Fehoko. — G.M.
 
Funny how all these writers overrate Schultz. It's like they didn't see the contract he got.

And we didn't have a chance at Mayer. Unless he's saying we should've done it in the first, which nobody else did.

That said, I'd give us about a C also. :lol

yeah, he seems to think we could have gotten Bresee and Mayer

While I agree with the grade the reasoning is crap. KC wanted Smith so it isn’t like we even could have traded down and still got him. The loss of Schultz is way overblown.

Part of that C is for giving up next years 5. If Scott turns out to be an absolute steal then it is fine but I just don’t see it.
 
I honestly think we would have been OK with Turd Ferguson. I think he starts and holds the job. Travis Kelce thinks he is one of the up and coming TEs in the league.
 
Mel Kiper, ESPN: Grade B


After another early playoff exit that saw the offense sputter late in the season, the Cowboys fired coordinator Kellen Moore and promoted Brian Schottenheimer. Coach Mike McCarthy will go back to calling the plays, like he did in Green Bay. With tight end Dalton Schultz leaving in free agency and running back Ezekiel Elliott getting cut, Dallas had holes at both positions heading into the draft, and I thought it could address each of them on the first two days.
In Round 1, however, the Cowboys went a different direction, and I have no qualms about it. Mazi Smith (26) is the best run-stuffing defensive tackle in this class, a 323-pounder who will instantly improve their run defense. Their D-line too often last season was blown up at the line of scrimmage, so adding an anchor like Smith will help the entire front seven. If you look at the other NFC East teams, Dallas needed to beef up to stop the run.

I would have taken other tight ends over Luke Schoonmaker (58), but he does have intriguing traits. Tucker Kraft and Brenton Strange were available and higher on my board. Schoonmaker will turn 25 as a rookie, so the question is about how much more room he has to develop. DeMarvion Overshown (90) is one of analyst Louis Riddick’s favorites in this class; he can be impressive as a blitzer.

Edge rusher Viliami Fehoko (129) had 23 sacks over the past three seasons; I highlighted him as a potential sleeper in December. Running back Deuce Vaughn (212) is a great player in a 5-foot-5 package. I’d love to see him succeed in Dallas, where his dad is a scout.
There’s not much flash in this class, which is not usually how team owner Jerry Jones does things, but I can’t knock many of these selections. Dallas did well.
