The Cowboys went into it with six picks and exited with eight thanks to consecutive trade downs that started in the fourth round. There was wide disagreement over the picks and strategy here at BTB, so it’s always good to take a look at what some outsiders thought. In this case, we’ll get a grade from Mel Kiper and a best pick from Todd McShay.Mel Kiper grade:While a B- grade might not seem bad, in the overall context of Kiper’s grading system, it’s not good. He gave out one A, four A- https://www.dallascowboysfanshop.com/Antwaun-Woods-Jersey , six B+, nine B, five B- and seven C+. So the Cowboys ended up around the bottom third of the league Here is his evaluation.Let’s unpack this. First of all, I would take issue with his top needs. Defensive tackle and safety were certainly top needs, but wide receiver? You’ve got three quality starters and several capable backups. That makes me suspicious of the grade immediately.On the other hand, many observers (including me), lamented the fact that the Cowboys came out of the draft without a top safety prospect. Trysten Hill may end up being a quality pick, and defensive tackle is certainly an area of need. It’s hard to ding the Cowboys too much here DeMarcus Ware Jersey , but Juan Thornhill would have been my pick. Still, this is just a preference thing. The fact that the Cowboys had such a high grade on Connor McGovern precluded them from grabbing a safety in the third round. If you are a true believer in BPA, then you can’t argue against the McGovern pick since the Cowboys have said he was the highest-rated player by far left on their board. The fourth round is where things got sideways. With two picks (128 and 136) so close, it was all about the order of the players. The Cowboys went with Tony Pollard first and lost out on targets they had at 136. There’s a belief they could have waited on Pollard and still got him at 136 since he was projected to go lower than the fourth round. On the other hand, as we’ll see below, there are some who really like the Pollard pick. From that point, the Cowboys traded down and down, eventually grabbing a haul of players with final pick Jalen Jelks seeming to draw “steal” commentary from quite a few places.Now Ezekiel Elliott Color Rush Jersey , Todd McShay’s favorite pick for the Cowboys.Pollard was the pick that caused some of the controversy for the Cowboys. Could he have been taken at 136 instead of 128? This would have allowed the Cowboys to grab their rumored crushes, John Cominsky or Isaiah Johnson, and then circle back for Pollard.If Pollard does what he was drafted to do, we might not be worried about this in years to come. As has been mentioned, this is the “Kellen Moore” pick. Scott Linehan was notorious for talking a good game about using players in different potions and in different ways (see Tavon Austin from last year) only to resort to his tried-and-true scheme without trying much new. Everybody is hoping this will change under Kellen Moore. Pollard will be exhibit A if that happens. As noted, he is one of the most versatile players in the draft with the ability to be a running back or slot receiver and to play special teams. The Cowboys have been one of the few remaining “workhorse” running back teams that relies solely on one guy and really don’t utilize a variety of weapons from their running back corps. Elliott will still be the workhorse, he just too good not to be, but the hope is Moore can incorporate Pollard into the offense and freshen things up a bit.If that happens https://www.dallascowboysfanshop.com/Rod-Smith-Jersey , then Pollard will justify his draft selection. The big man in the middle for the Cowboys is getting back in the swing."Today was kind of a milestone for one particular Dallas Cowboy. Travis Frederick was on hand and participating in workouts today as the full Cowboys team gathered to begin their offseason program. Frederick has already been working out with his teammates at the Star, but today was the official start of the offseason program and the official beginning of Frederick returning for the 2019 season.Frederick’s teammates were sure glad to see him.Of course, we shouldn’t get ahead of ourselves. This is just conditioning and not even OTAs. Never mind the idea of training camp then actually participating in a preseason game. Then, the ultimate goal, playing actual football again.The Cowboys missed Frederick’s presence in the middle of the line last year, even if Joe Looney did a great job of filling in. It’s not easy to replace one of the best centers in the game. We talk a lot about new free agents and new draft picks, but getting Frederick back would be about as good an offseason acquisition as you can get.
