Cowboys draft board

I wonder what the star on Logan Ryan's name card meant
 
Not going to get torn up over the fact that the Cowboys don't like the Pats' picks. Cowboys aren't exactly great at drafting, to say the least.
 
Based on how he rated our players.....JJ has a long way to copy the Pats...:rocker:
 
The Cowboys didn't like them? This can only bode well for Dobson and Collins.
 
Too bad we couldn't see the Patriot's draft board. For all we know,
Belichick may have drafted all the players a round or two or more
ahead of his scout's projection.
 
The pokes have 132 player-positions charted in a draft that had 254 players chosen.

I assume that simply means they had absolutely NO INTEREST in the other 50% (60% if consider UDFAs) of the available players for one reason or another. Either that or they are really bad at math.

So anyway I dont think you can draw any conclusions about where somebody WHO IS NOT ON the BOys board OUGHT TO HAVE BEEN DRAFTED (ex - Harmon). consider rd 1 for example. they only have 18 Rd 1 guys charted - that means that 14 guys who were going to be rd 1 picks aren't listed - could one of those been Harmon in their eyes. (prob not - but who knows)

Yeah, that's something you and I (and many others) would all love to take a look at, soak in, and discuss.

Unfortunately for us I do not foresee the Pats actual draft board showing up on SB Nation, Bleacher Report, or any other similar website any time soon, if at all in our lifetimes.

Thanks for pointing this out explicitly. It has/could be easily misconstrued by folks. A better example could have been Jarvis Jones - it is not accurate to state that Dallas thinks he is a UDFA talent.
 
So let me get this straight...

According to the reconstruction, Sharrif Floyd was #5 overall on Dallas' big board, they had him as the 5th best prospect in the whole draft. But when the Cowboys were on the clock at #18 overall, and he was still there, they traded back to pick #31. There, they selected a player who they had a 2nd round grade on.

I love Robert Kraft.
 
I found it!!!! The Pats super secret draft board.....

I read an article a couple weeks back about the Cowboys problems and it mentioned then how they had Floyd as the top player on their board when the 18th pick came up but they didn't like his sack numbers so they decided to trade down. While I'm not comparing the players or predicting greatness for Floyd, I instantly thought of Richard Seymour, who only had 1.5 sacks in the pass happy SEC. (I'm sure most of us remember the whole quote I'm referencing )

Imagine if we did the same thing, if we had rated Seymour as high as we took him but talked ourself out of it based on stats. (which apparently the Cowboys didn't look at before ranking Floyd in their top 5, what changed on draft day?)
 
So we're going to second guess our draft class over a leaked draft board from a team who can't even make the playoffs?
 
Even the Dallas Cowboys don't like their own draft board. LOL. They had Floyd ranked at #5 overall but passed on him at 18!!!

Hence:

[Head coach Jason] Garrett and Cowboys assistant director of player personnel Tom Ciskowski didn't look happy after [team executive vice president] Stephen Jones hung up the phone. They were both slumped back in their chairs. Garrett, at one point, had a blank look across his face as he started rubbing his forehead with his hand. Ciskowski and Stephen Jones also had an animated exchange. It was a rare show of emotion by Ciskowski.

Absolutely, and another fine example: Robert Woods, the WR most consistently named by fans as the best fit for the Patriots (polished, savvy, hard-working, intelligent, great hands) doesn't make their board at all. Meanwhile they had Cordarrelle Patterson (fabulous physical specimen, wildly raw, questionable hands, major maturity and intelligence issues) as a round 1 value. More revealing about the Cowboys than about the players, IMO.
