For a guy who hadn't been playing, seemed like he was pretty active...made a couple of plays that stood out

like George Selvie, Marvin Austin, and Drake Nevis was once considered a top prospect. That's our new strategy..still draft poorly and overspend on free agents, but swoop in when other teams give up on young players too soon.

Sorry, dbair. This thread is only for those who believe in PFF's ranking system.

Bounce.

Hopefully some of these guys work out. With the issues we're going to have on the cap, drafting good and finding some of these young guys with some talent to work with is what could really help keep the team competitive.

I saw Austin got hurt early in the Minnesota game, has there been any update on him?

Or if we didn't get screwed in injuries. Ware, Spencer, Ratliff, Crawford and Bass.

Yeah sucks when you're relying on old players and they get hurt.

Oh.... and yeah, losing THE Ben Bass really fucked us.

He flashed like a mother fucker in that one pre-season game.

When you lose 5 of your top 6 on the DL you are going to have problems.

In some cases, the top prospect initially failed because they didn't "fit" with the defensive scheme of their earlier team(s).

In part, the Cowboys seem to be keying on former top prospects who initially failed in a scheme that differs from what the Cowboys now run.

Ware, Spencer and Crawford arnt really old. That's the top 3 DE's on the roster.

Counting on Ratliff was stupid and we are paying for that, but the others are bad luck more than anything else.

Yeah, and this crap about how Crawford was "devastating" only meant that we overvalued a guy that showed less in his entire rookie season than all of these schlubs who showed up off the street this year.

To be fair, Crawford showed more his rookie year than most of these schlubs we signed this year. But they've been Marinelli'd.

What did Crawford show? I have yet to see how or where or why is draft slot is justified. Roster spot? Sure, who isn't? But draft slot and from there output, big question.
