Dallas is not surprisingly

Head and shoulders above the other 3. Us, Washington and Philly look about the same. Few hits but mostly busts.

Travis Frederick in 2013 and Zack Martin in 2014.

That's a 1-2 punch right there.

Not to mention Tyron Smith in 2011!

Crazy to think the Jerry Jones crew

has that kind of drafting record.

I know it's easy to take a (very) dim view of the Dallas owner, but in terms of fielding a quality team he got John Mara beat... by lightyears.
The fact that we don't have a single player  
BSIMatt : 10/28/2021 10:27 am : link
on the roster from the 2010-2016 drafts..while Dallas still has T. Smith, ZMartin and Elliot from that same time frame...is disheartening.

Some bad picks in there for the Giants. Could really use JPP right now.

Dallas absolutely crushed it with their offensive line picks, no question.
Probably should leave 2019 draft on there  
BSIMatt : 10/28/2021 10:34 am : link
for Dallas, with an asterisk that they used that pick to obtain Amari Cooper from the Raiders in a trade...I'd say that worked out very well for them.

They crushed it with their O-Line picks and then they put a Mack Truck behind it in the name of Ezekiel Elliott and we still haven't figured out how to stop it yet!
wow....

The Eagles have drafter very poorly...

They've got some bad picks here... but Brandon Graham, Fletcher Cox, Lane Johnson, Carson Wentz and DeVonta Smith ain't exactly chopped liver.

It is, but it is also misleading in a way. As only David wilson is out of the league and Pugh, Flowers, Beckham, and Pierre Paul are all still starting.

I agree they were bad picks for the Giants, but have been productive members of other teams

Yep, Dallas did the best  
jeff57 : 10/28/2021 11:04 am : link
But not much to show for it.

Somewhere along the way, Jerruh allowed his son and their other smart football people take over decision making. Credit where due.

We all recall Jerruh wanted to draft Johnny Football, and his son talked him out of it

They’ve drafted well, no doubt ]
Dallas  
Mike in NY : 10/28/2021 11:22 am : link
When Jerry Jones ceded control to his son and Will McClay the drafts really took off. He is there in name only and for media on Draft Day.
Dallas

They have drafted well, but they are only team in the NFL who drafted OL and they all worked. Go through the teams and see how many draft OL that didn't work out and moved to other teams.

JPP is still a good player, Pugh is a good player and Prince was a good CB.

Wilson broke his neck, OBJ was on a HOF pace until broken leg and Barkley, unlike Elliott can stay healthy.

Dallas 3 OL were healthy and played almost every game for their 1st 6 years.

Being able to be there week to week just can't be minimalized
Pugh  
Toth029 : 10/28/2021 12:26 pm : link
Was fine but not spectacular. Prince was not good. He's been bounced around for good reason. He's Apple tier.
I wouldn’t call prince  
Bleedblue10 : 10/28/2021 10:28 pm : link
A hit. He’s a journeyman. I can only think of one good play he made as a Giant(although I’m sure there are a lot more just can’t remember them)
Dallas with best list there. And Washington's is pretty good too  
Jimmy Googs : 10/29/2021 8:34 am : link
except for the big mistake with Haskins. Eagles and Giants bringing up the rear.

Taking Zach Martin in 2014 and then later figuring out a deal to grab Quenton Nelson in 2018 would have really changed the landscape of this team this past decade.

But you don't take Guards early. Right...
