Jon Daniels: Above the Noise
Rangers awful offseason takes another turn for the worse.” – Evan Grant
“Rangers’ rough offseason just got rougher.” – Richard Durrett
“There’s no way to look at the Rangers’ offseason and come to any conclusion other than it’s a disaster.” – Jean Jacques Taylor
I don’t know guys; the Rangers’ awful, rough, disastrous offseason has resulted in a pretty successful season so far. The Rangers, who were supposed to be licking their wounds from such a difficult offseason, are 30-17 and hold the league’s best record. Luck hasn’t even been on their side, as the team has persevered through injury after injury. What has been the key to the Rangers’ hot start? Organizational depth.

Cowboys Draft Analysis
(www.wfaa.com)
The Dallas Cowboys needed to have a great draft going into this upcoming season. With little to no hope of signing any impact free agents, Dallas needed to make hay in key positions of need in order to reach the potential their talent suggests. Two straight seasons of 8-8 and losing elimination games in the last week of the season shows two things: 1. They are close. 2. Their holes are too much to overcome and have handcuffed them to mediocrity.
2013 Cowboys Draft: Pick-by-Pick Grades
Going into the draft I believe it was generally accepted that the biggest needs for the Cowboys were Offensive Guard, Defensive Tackle, Right Tackle, and Safety. That might have been followed by Center and Defensive End. Coming out of the draft they addressed two of those needs and only one is a starter. In this draft, they needed to come away with three to four starters and that certainly didn’t happen. Here is a pick-by-pick breakdown and grade of how the Cowboys did.
*Draft picks cannot not realistically be graded until their careers are over; these grades are based on the value of the selection and how it fits the needs of the Cowboys.
B.W. Webb

With the 114th pick in this years NFL Draft the Dallas Cowboys selected B.W. Webb the corner from William and Mary. The 5’10″ 184 lbs small school corner is a true zone corner and should fit well in the Cowboys Tampa 2 scheme.
The other major positive with Webb is that he is a high turnover guy, a thing that may help to change the Cowboys defensive identity as a low interception team. This guy had 8 interceptions in his red shirt freshman year and then fell off because teams stopped throwing at him. Continue reading
JJ Wilcox

With the 80th pick in the 2013 NFL draft, the Dallas Cowboys got around to addressing some needs, selecting JJ Wilcox the safety from Georgia Southern.
Wilcox is an impressive athlete and should be able to turn into a good interception guy as he started his career at Georgia Southern as a wide receiver. 6 feet tall and 213 he has good size and attacks the line of scrimmage as a run stopper. His technique is raw though because he has only played one season on the defensive side of the ball. Continue reading
Terrance Williams

With the 74th pick of the NFL draft, the Dallas Cowboys pick Baylor wide out Terrance Williams. Williams is a heck of a player, and put up some absolutely silly numbers the last 2 years at Baylor.
Willams is a good player and should make an impact in a reserve role this season. The wide receiver is a great value pick in the third round and should have very little problem living up to his draft status. Continue reading
