Comparison of Dallas Defensive Drafts Versus Ours

[Thoth]

Time to kill, what the heck. . .

To see the differences/similarities between the two teams draft philosophies, let's look at how Dallas built their D.

2002, 1st round, Roy Williams,
2003, 1st round, Terrence Newman
2004, 1st round, 11th pick, DeMarcus Ware, 6'4", 252, starting WOLB
2005, 1st round, 20th pick, Marcus Spears, 6,4", 29X lbs, starting LE.
2005, 4th round, 31st pick, Chris Canty, 6-7, 299, starting RE.
2006, 1st round, Bobby Carpenter, OLB, back-up
2007, 1st round, 26th pick, Anthony Spencer, 6-3, 257, starting SOLB

They drafted two stud DBs, as we have done with Taylor, Rogers, and Landry, then stocked all the the outside edge rushing positions with agile and speedy players.

Not saying we should emulate them, but it is interesting.

Yes, they run a 3-4, but their DEs are BIG, yet also fast.

Man would I like to see us draft some BIG DEs in the next couple years.

I understand 4-3 DEs are smaller, but it is tough to not think Carter has the size of an OLB or situational DE pass rusher.

But it is amazing they have such a good offense having focused their high picks almost entirely on defense. Their defense is ranked high, also, and has players that are large and quick for positions.

It is frightening to think they have two number one picks next year.

They have top 5 (or 6) offenses and defenses.

They need a NT, and a CB, and then their defense is STACKED.

What is surprising is that their O is so good with marginal O-line, older receivers. This is a little scary, as you can expect them to draft some OL and receivers.

Anyhoo, should be interesting when we finally play them.

What you see is the cowboys drafting positions which are often hard to get thru Free Agency and we did the complete opposite... They had Glover and Ferguson serving as NT and other guys at DE. Its eaiser to find bigger DE that can stuff the run.. We could have ran a 3-4 if Wynn was a little bigger when we got him. Daniels and Wynn could work at 3-4 DE.

Parcells knows how to draft. They got their Wrs through FA and alot of their guys were familiar with the parcells offensive system.

It did take them 4 yrs to develop Romo. At first it was carter, vinny and drew.

The difference is....... There DB's make plays.......Ours dont. Period!!!

[Mister Happy]

They don't have a top 5 D. Even after playing the Dolphins and Bears, they still had the 21st ranked D.

Playing the Rams with an injured Bulger and no Jackson should give them a big boost, but not that high.

I think you guys would benefit from giving Carter more rest.

I personally find him a bit ueseless, but against NY, he seemed a bit worn out. Probably had something to do with the 3rd downs..

[DGreenistheBest]

The difference? We draft from state colleges, they draft from state prisons.

[Laxpunk2006]

I know we're talking about defense here but I think Romo has a lot to do with this. Parcells plugged in veteran QB's with very little success while building a dominant defense. Romo was undrafted so he cost the team nothing, leaving them high picks to draft on the other side of the ball. They were also able to hit on a late round RB in Marion Barber. Had Romo not blossomed the way he has, they would be left with a very mediocre offense. They also would have been forced to use a high pick on a QB last April, possibly instead of Spencer.

However they have drafted remarkably, except maybe Carpenter he hasn't done anything to impress as of yet but it's still early. If we hold onto our picks as well as Dallas has we should have a good shot at hitting on some players.

Rodgers = stud?

[Redskinloyal_1]

THere defense sucks and we will expose them brutally. Just wait till we play them. Dude they havent played anybody. Dolphins 0-4, Bears 1-3, Rams 0-4, giants 1-3 after tonight. dude they are beating up chumps.

and who has the redskins played? the dolphins (should have lost) the eagles (game decided at the end) the giants (oops i forgot)

shut your **** holster

I wish our team would start drafting some studs on the defensive line. If we don't shoot ourselves in the foot AGAIN this year and lose yet another starter somewhere and they attempt to replace him in the draft, then we SHOULD be picking a DE/DL.

If the Redskins do not I am going to freak out =-/

the skins don't draft alot because they spend all of their draft picks on FA transactions. plain and simple
