The 2005 Draft was the best Cowboys Draft in recent memory...
DeMarcus Ware: Pro-Bowler, arguably the one of the best OLBs in the league now. Career Stats to date: 215 tackles, 33.5 sacks, 12 FF, 1 INT, and 23 STFs. All in just 3 years in the league.
Marcus Spears: Some view him as a disappointment, but the guy is great at stopping the run. DLmen rarely rack up any stats so Spear's stats don't do the guy justice. Career Stats to date: 106 tackles, 4.5 sacks, 2 FF, 7 STFs.
Kevin Burnett: Not a very well known LB, but for Dallas he's been a solid contributor as a backup and also as a nickel LB.
Marion Barber: Pro-Bowler RB whose crushing runs terrify and electrify. Career Stats to date: 477 att, 2167 yards, 4.5 ypc avg, 85 rec, 593 yds, 33 td. Marion the Barbarian has been a welcome 4-rounder addition and is the feature back for the Boys for some years to come.
Chris Canty: Solid DE who anchored one of the best run D's in the league. Better than Spears, Canty was a steal of a DE in the 4th round.
Justin Beriault: Looked to be a promising safety, whose crunching hits in preseason looked to be Bill Bates 2.0. Unfortunately injuries ended his career before it even started, this guy could have been good
.
Rob Petitti: A flop who I think is with the Bucs now...
Jay Ratliff: A gem of a 7th rounder, starting NT for the run D and is a disruptive force.
Pacman Jones: Not necessarily our draft choice, but now essentially ours. We'll see how he pans out as a Cowboy, but as of right now the guy is a dynamic KR as well as CB.
