You're obviously don't know a whole lot about football. We have one draft where we don't take any big names and you're ready to say that we're sacrificing several seasons. The reason that we aren't paying out any big contracts is because we're pretty close to the salary cap with having to carry T.O.'s and Roy Williams (safety's) contracts even though they aren't on the team. We cut them, we'll hopefully be better off for it, but we still have to pay that penalty. You guys are putting way too much stock into first-round draft picks. Look at the guys we got. Watch a little film, and you'll see that there's talent there. They might not be guys that can come in and play right away, but they're looking like guys that can contribute sometime down the road with a little refinement, which a few years in Dallas can do. Your reaction is a knee-jerk reaction and you really should do a little research and be patient. I think there are going to be some guys in this class that will be excellent football players. Secondly, to TOHater: First off, it's 'Woe is me!'  And since when are the Dallas Cowboys a collection of misfits? We have last year's sack leader, the best tight end in the league and a downright scary backfield. That's a pretty broad statement. I think we're maybe two or three solid players away from being a damn solid team, and that's depending on what you think of the offensive line. And how are we the joke of the NFL right now? If you don't want to be a Dallas fan anymore, you're doing us all a huge favor as you obviously don't know a whole lot about football. Dave: If you're going to go after a troublemaker, why not get a good troublemaker and try to sign Plaxico Burress? He'd be pissed at the Giants and would love to burn them once or twice. I'd argue against signing either, but if you're going to sign someone who has shaky judgement, then you might as well get someone good out of it. First, to nonglowingstar.
