The annual screaming based on who we just drafted is nothing new. When we as fans don’t see our pet cat coming to Big D after the draft, the disappointment oozes on this forum. (I was …
The NFL Draft and Monday mornings have one thing big thing in common: lots of knee-jerk overreactions. After the Cowboys drafted Mazi Smith with the 26th pick, the overreactions flooded in. The fans who are disappointed …
The Cowboys have a great overall draft history. Some of the best drafts in NFL history were by the Cowboys. Here are the 3 BEST drafts IMO: The 1964 Draft– easily the greatest draft in Cowboys …
In my opinion, as we enter the draft phase of the off-season, the Cowboys front office needs to think differently than in past off-seasons. In some ways they already have with the Gilmore and Cooks moves. …
In January, 2023, an NBC sports station in Philly published an interesting report on the most common final score in the history of the NFL. The NFL estimates that since 1920, there have been nearly 20,000 …

If I had to sum up what this team’s biggest roster needs are this off-season I would say it’s simply two types of players- playmakers and road-graders. Here’s my definition of those two terms: Playmaker: In …
Let‘s face it- the Cowboys front office has two very bad habits: BAD HABIT #1. Over-valuing our own players. Think about it. We have a whopping two wild card playoff wins with the “cornerstone” talent we’ve …
