Anyways, I decided to do a little digging on the Cowboys drafting and I confirmed what you said about their 2006 draft. I don’t think they have one starter out of that draft year. Then I looked at this year’s draft and they had a lot of draft picks, however, their draft didn’t start until the second day with round three. Saw they drafted Texas A&M QB Stephen McGhee who didn’t play a whole lot when he was a senior, and like it or not, in a way, the Cowboys are in the middle of a Mike Leach/Mike Sherman (mostly Leach) battle of words, and I think y’all will find it interesting reading. I had a few laughs about it, but I found myself agreeing with Leach’s base opinion on the subject, which was, why would Stephen McGhee be drafted in the 3rd round of the NFL draft and Graham Harrell go undrafted?

Bush: Did his damage against the Fresno States of the world. He NEVER, at any point, proved to have an ability to run between the tackles. In fact, he seemed to fear contact, choosing to bounce everything against always slower (read: non-NFL quality) defenses. That Bush was going to Bust was never, at least in my mind, a question.

LenWhale: Always did the yeoman work at USC. His 4th down stop not withstanding, he was by far, and always, the better RB at USC. Bush was never more than Dave Meggett without the work ethic. Frankly, LenWhale scares me this year. He’s a tough, hard runner, and now he’s in shape. I was hoping he would slide to the Texans to the 3rd round.

Leinart: At this point, he’s the most likely to be a successful pro. He was much aided by the USC system, but his lack of success seeems to do more with a poor work ethic than lack of talent. Could also be he isn’t the brightest bulb on the tree.

VY: Well, what can we say? His throwing motion was always going to be problematic, and he was blessed with a scheme and talent in college that covered his obvious lack of strengths. His reads were minimal, and he was allowed (rightfully so) to improvise at will. VY was THE PERFECT college-level QB. His work ethic, attitude, and aptitude (7 on the Wunderlich?) all need to be questioned.

I never believed Bust or VY would be good pros, and I say this as somebody who saw almost every snap VY took in college. They were always college guys, not pros. Sad but true.
