Being a Raider fan, Jerry's Cowboys are slowly finding themselves down that same road where the players know who the boss is and that is Jerry. Coaches' will not be able to coach. Hopefully I'm wrong, but when the guy in the suit upstairs is running the show, it doesn't end well. Players become check collectors, free agents know it's a final contract. We over came a bit of it when Gruden was around, with Tim Brown.
Could Frederick have lasted into their 2nd pick, go with Reid at the 18? Al Davis reached a ton, losing a lot of trade value in the later years. Heyward Bey at 7, come on, drop into the 20's and you can still have him in addition to a few more picks. Between Romo, Murray, Smith, Bryant there are foundational cornerstones in place for the next 2-3 seasons, it's a matter of Jerry staying in the office.....something Al couldn't do at all.
