A kicker in the 5th? Gotta wonder about that logic.

And it's not like Folk is a slouch either, so that made no sense.

Yeah Dallas really had an odd draft.

I don't think it's a stretch to say they regressed this season on the field. Say what you want about addition by subtraction with T.O. but it's hard to replace 1,000 yds and 10 TD. They're relying a whole lot in the secondary on the development of the kid from S. Florida (Phillips?) at CB and a 5th rounder from last year (Scandrick) and did nothing to get younger on the OL. I think the 'Boys are staring 8-8 squarely in the face.

Or possibly worse. Their overall talent level is declining. They really needed to get it done when they were 13-3 a couple of years back.

Yeah, it's almost like drafting a punter in the 6th... oh wait...

Except we didn't have a good punter when we did that. They basically just totally wasted a pick. They may as well have drafted me.

I know, I know, I just like to poke fun at the Durant Brooks pick.

Dallas had a head scratching draft, and a big part of it was a function of how much they overpaid for Roy Williams. That LB they got with their first pick could be alright, but apparently he's more of a workout guy than a football player.
