Cowboy fans who are happy this morning are like their GM - they don't understand the draft. Arguing over whether or not Frederick is a good player is missing the point. He, or other similarly talented centers, would be available later on. The Cowboys pulled the trigger too early and are not getting any value from moving down. I wonder who the scouts and head coach wanted to pick?

Not to mention the fact they didn't get enough from the niners when they moved back. But it's not surprising since they have shite the bed in every draft since Jimmy left.

I don't think any Cowboys fans are 'happy' with the pick. I think most of us have no clue about this guy, and this pick was kind of out of left field.
I'm not upset though, there are plenty more picks in the draft. We can still have a good draft, and the Cowboys have been needing to draft more OL.
I'm just happy we have a person to take Phil Costa's spot at Center. Our OL was so bad the past few years that I won't complain if we draft 2 more OL and just cut 3/5 of the starters.

This right here

As a Cowboys fan, I'm extremely disappointed in last night. We traded down, and didn't take advantage with what was on the board. He could've easily been on the board later on for us if they had fricking waited. I'm really thinking about becoming a Texans fan because they don't pull dumb shite like this all the damn time.

Yahoo writer weighs in-
Jones deflates his own football people


quote:

Garrett, at one point, had a blank look across his face as he started rubbing his forehead with his hand. Ciskowski and Stephen Jones also had an animated exchange. It was a rare show of emotion by Ciskowski.

There's good reason for the Cowboys' actual football people to be incensed by the pick....

And Frederick, for his part, told a Dallas radio station that even he didn't believe he'd be taken when he was.Wisconsin center Travis Frederick, a player many analysts had with a second- to third-round grade. Some would argue that Frederick wasn't even the best center on the board; Cal's Brian Schwenke and Alabama's Barrett Jones would also get votes. But the primary issue was that the Cowboys, a team that has drafted pretty horribly over the last few seasons, seem to have done it again in the wrong direction.
