Bucky Brooks grades our draft....

[sbk92]

NFL.com's Bucky Brooks (Draft grade: B+): "Jerry Jones has an affinity for speed and explosiveness, so the Cowboys' talented class embodies those traits. Tyron Smith is one of most athletic offensive tackles that we've seen in years and he gives the unit a rock-solid force on the right side. Bruce Carter and DeMarco Murray are explosive options with the potential to immediately become significant contributors. The team nabbed a pair of sleepers in Josh Thomas and Dwayne Harris at great values. The Cowboys' draft didn't have a lot of sizzle, but is long on substance and production."

That's the highest I've seen.

I'm not trying to homer out here, but I agree, we had a good draft.

Smith starts at RT from day one, maybe even move to the LT position in the future. Carter has the potential to take over for Brooking and we still have Lee.

Arkin is better than some think, he could start at some point. Murray has what it takes to compete for the starting running back position.

Thomas is going to be a special nickel corner for us. And Harris can play the slot receiver, and play special teams. I know he'll beat out Manuel Johnson or Teddy Williams.

Nagy is the only question mark I have for the draft. There's not much about him, so we won't know what he can do until we see him play more.

That's the highest I've seen.

Because it's wrong.

It's a C+ draft at best, IMO.

Too many question marks as has been the case in recent years.

It's been Bs and Cs.

The thing about question marks is sometimes they're answered with the positive.

I'll say this about this draft class. I walk away from it convinced we'll have multiple starters from it. It's better than 2010. I think I prefer it over 2008 as well. And we had two 1sts that year.

Well, I'll agree about it being better than last year's and it's light years better than 2009.
