This may have been the most bizarre NFL Drafts in recent memory. From the players who were way over drafted to the quarterbacks who tumbled to the man with the fake girlfriend, all of the NFL hopefuls now have a team to call their own, but the path to the pros wasn’t easy for some …

Rationalizing The Cowboys Picks
I will look at these from the possible angles of the Cowboys, justifying where they were taken. I too had many players I valued more at the draft positions they were taken, but I know I’m just a guy on a laptop. First, there is the quote of Jerry saying that Frederick will be a …
