I'm hoping Enunwa is added to that list

28 out of 104 underclassmen went undrafted. Every season this happens. What are they thinking?

Financial upside versus nothing really to lose. If they don't get drafted or signed to a practice squad they can always play another year in college to boost stock?
I don't blame them. You just never know what might happen. Just look how crazy the first round was in this draft.

Cowboys draft looks like a solid A- right now. Last year's class ended up an A+.

Dude, yes they have. Please refrain from such statements.

It's still a lost of pick rather than taking a good character developmental player.. maybe not a starter but a guy for the depth charts to fill in.

To the future!

Overall draft grades from SBnation. I think their highest four rated teams had really nice drafts but I think they're underrating a few other like Dallas, San Francisco, New Orleans, Seattle, Arizona and Cleveland.

A: Minnesota
A-: Washington
B+: Green Bay, New England
B: Arizona, Cleveland, Indianapolis, LA Chargers, New Orleans
B-: Atlanta, Baltimore, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Dallas, Jacksonville, Miami, NY Giants, Oakland, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, Seattle, Tennessee
C+: Carolina, Denver, Houston, NY Jets, Tampa Bay
C: Chicago, Detroit, Kansas City, LA Rams

No, they can't go back to college if they're undrafted.

Solid B+

I'll take it. I had us in the B to B+ range. We desperately needed speed. And we addressed that thoroughly throughout the draft.

[kidkash]

Really like the pats pick. Can't wait to see them in action. August can't get here fast enough! Back to YouTube and beautiful clips of Super Bowl 51.

[West E]

We did alright. Really addressed our CB/Safety issues i think. Conley is more than likely innocent and was one of the best corners in the draft.

Linebacker and DT are still big needs tho.

Will say super bummed jake butt is a bronco, my dream of him and Kyle love creating Butt Love was dashed.

It will be if Jaylon Smith comes but fully healthy. Right now I'd give it an A

Didn't take us long after the draft to fire Whaley. Figured it was coming, but man that was fast.

Weird that they fired him day after the draft. They didn't like how they drafted?

This was planned for months. McDermott didn't want to interrupt the scouting process after he was hired with the draft coming up. There was a reason McDermott was running our War Room during the draft. His vision for the team and Whaley's differed. McDermott players were picked, and he's the one who lined up our trades.

So much for management having the shots above the coach...
