Draft Grade: F
|
| Dallas drafts poorly for the second consecutive
year. With their first round pick, the Cowboys landed hybrid
DE / OLB Anthony Spencer, a pass-rushing specialist
destined for an OLB position in Dallas' 3-4. The only problem
is, that role is already filled quite nicely by former first-rounder
DeMarcus Ware. The 2007 Draft marks the third straight year
Dallas has drafted a LB in the first round round (Ware in
2005 and Bobby Carpenter in 2006). The LB corps is already
one of the best in the business, so how, when and where
Spencer will fit in remains a mystery. OTs James Marten
and Doug Free were nice additions as both have impressive
talent but both are best suited for the Right (weakside)
Tackle position. Is Tony Romo really the future of this
offense? Is he the answer or more of a one-night stand type
of player? The honeymoon will soon be over and drafting
competition for him at QB would have made a lot of sense,
but Dallas went for Washington's Isaiah Stanback,
who has about as much promise as an undrafted free agent,
and Dallas actually wasted a fourth round pick on him! The
Cowboys also have a major need for a #3 Corner, yet they
waited until round seven before pulling the trigger on obtaining
a DB. And with Glenn and Owens aging at the WR positions,
and absolutely no legitimate #3 target or backup, the Cowboys
totally ignored their need for another receiver. |
