The grades for the Cowboys draft have been a mixed bag over the last three days. The crew at the Dallas Morning News is a good example of that:
- Michael Gehlken: A
- David Moore: B
- Tim Cowlishaw: B
- Kevin Sherrington: B-
- Joseph Hoyt: C+
- Calvin Watkins: C
Gehlken’s “In-McClay-I-Trust” summary echoes a thought many Cowboys fans share:
Some deference is shown here toward the Cowboys’ evaluators and their track record. If the front office and coaching staff, including the likes of Will McClay and Dan Quinn, are overjoyed with the eight-player haul, it seems unwise to cast a stone with one hand while, in the other, carrying far less information on the players than them.
