IMO the best Cowboys Draft in recent memory

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.

He gets picked on mostly because of where he was picked. Parcells reached really high to get him. Spears wasn't in any danger of being picked anywhere near where he was. Teams generally want more from a first round pick than a pretty spare to fair player.

Legend tells us that Parcells threw a huge hissy fit when Jerry picked Ware ahead of Spears. Parcells wanted the Cowboys to use that first pick on Spears.
