We heard rumblings about 24 hours before the first round that the Cardinals were likely to take Collins, though he was someone expected to go in the mid-to-late 20’s. Could they have traded back and landed him? Maybe. But his versatility combined with that of Isaiah Simmons and Budda Baker make this a tough defense to play against. Moore makes so much sense in the second round, as we still don’t know if Larry Fitzgerald will return. No matter what, he’s a perfect fit to play the slot in t...

Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images We’ve made it through to the other side. The 2021 NFL Draft is in the books, and we now know who the Dallas Cowboys have added, as well as thirteen UDFAs. With eleven picks, they really went heavy on defense. The first six were all on that side of the ball, and they took eight defenders in all. While we still have to see how it all shakes out in training camp, the added players give us some very interesting hints as to what Dan Quinn may be planning with this...

Just be prepared. This is a two part article. First, Im going to show you how the "experts" are grading the Dallas Cowboys 2021 draft. Next, Im going to show you why you should take any draft grade with a grain of salt. Lets start with the true Draft King, Mel Kiper Jr. He gives the Cowboys a "B" and had this to say: The Dallas defense was awful last season, even before Dak Prescott was lost for the year in Week 5. This couldnt be another CeeDee Lamb situation, where they went with an offen...

How much playing time will the Cowboys’ 2021 rookie class get during the 2021 season? How much can we expect the Cowboys’ 2021 rookie class to contribute this year? Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images At irregular intervals over the last few years, I’ve tried to project the playing time of Cowboys rookie classes, with varying levels of success. In 2015, the estimate was wildly over-optimistic in projecting 3,000 snaps for a rookie class that ended up playing just 2,291 combined snaps, or...

The Cowboys first six selections -- linebacker Micah Parsons, cornerback Kelvin Joseph, defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa, defensive end Chauncey Golston, cornerback Nahshon Wright and linebacker Jabril Cox -- were defensive players. In 1982, the first five picks were defenders. In the Jerry Jones era, the most defenders selected to start a draft was four in 2012. For the first time since the start of the seven-round draft in 1994, the Cowboys drafted eight defensive players (out of 11 total play...

How The Staff Writers Feel About This 2021 Draft May 03, 2021 at 04:30 PM This NFL Draft seemed to have it all, especially from the Cowboys perspective. That happens when you pick 11 times. But from drama with the first pick, to head-scratchers, to value picks to even some controversial picks, the Cowboys seemed to have a little bit of everything. So we asked the staff writers to weigh in on the draft, detailing their most favorite picks and the ones that brought th...

2021 Cowboys Draft: Simi Fehoko has athleticism that puts him in elite NFL company The Dallas Cowboys drafted quite the wideout. Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images Perhaps the most shocking thing about the 2021 Dallas Cowboys Draft is that they used all of their draft picks, including the extra one that they picked up during their trade in the first round. There are 11 new players on this football team. Of the incoming rookie class there are only three players who line up on offense, and among the...

No Safety in this Class - A Mistake or Just Part of the Plan? By mgdaniels515 on May 2, 2021, 12:12am CDT + If anyone caught any of the RJ Ochoa live feeds during the draft, there was a never-ending clamor throughout Day 2 and Day 3 among participants to grab a Safety - any Safety. And many "name" players at the position were available at decent value throughout. Many, like Divine Deablo (Pick 80), Elijah Molden (Pick 100), Tyree Gillespie (143), Caden Sterns (152), Jamar Johnson ...
