This is much ado about nothing.

The only player that has a significant difference is D Jones. They say third and GB took him in the first. The boys are wrong. Even if he is not all we hope Jones to be he was certainly worth a first round selection. No later than mid second at worst.

Eddie Lacy, David Bakhtiari, Johnathan Franklin, Josh Boyd and even Sam Barrington were near value or better.

JC Tretter may be a bit of a reach in the minds of many people. But he is rated based on his play as a OT. Uncle Teddy won't use him there so whatever value rating he has been assigned is not valid.

That really leaves the 6-7 round picks.


However, as I expected, many of the Packers' later draft selections were not even targeted by Dallas as possible picks.

I'm so happy Jones stays highly involved with putting his team together. Keep it up Jerry.

According to their board they got their 22nd 23rd and 25th rated players with their first 3 picks. how are you getting that they rated Fredrick in the top 50 or 60? If their board was ranked strictly by need they wouldn't have had 3 2nd round QBs.

That's why they are one of the premier franchises as I pointed out, and the Cowboys are mired in mediocrity and have been since Jimmy Johnson stopped drafting for them.

What better subtle way that have pictures taken in front of that board?


Jerry Jones is working on his legacy, and he's trying to make it a good one. As one article I read put it, "Almost two decades and six head coaches later, the owner who loves the spotlight like no other is still trying to escape from Jimmy Johnson's shadow." because he push the guy who help build the mid-'90s dynasty and has since followed it up with a franchise with one playoff win in 15 seasons.

They're also switching to the 4-3 Tampa 2 style on defense

Packers kind of play 4-2 in nickel package (two DTs and the OLBers at the line like 4-3 DEs but standing up) and the Packers will run cover 2 but not Tampa 2 ... though with Jones maybe they could try that some, might be interesting. At least if Jones can cover well enough. Also might be interesting to see a dime package with 3 Safeties. One as a coverage ILB type.
