Black is the fourth Cowboy selected.
Congrats and good luck.
Four players drafted. Not bad

So we had three defensive players drafted from the worst P4 defense in the country?
That tells me the natural talent and development was there, but the X’s and O’s coaching put them at a disadvantage. Fortunately, our Make a Wish DC is gone.

Yes, which is why almost every assistant coach was fired. Time to move on.

Hey champ,
You realize that two of the three didn’t play the majority of the season, right? Your two best defenders being injured tends to hurt your team. I don’t think we would’ve been shutting people out if they’d have been healthy, but acting like the talent that did not play was too good for us to be that bad is stupid.
They weren’t hampered by anything except their bodies breaking down.
Returning a majority of your starters and not winning a single conference game despite injuries hurts your team too 
. Even if I subtract two defenders I still have 17 starters that returned. Why are you guys still making excuses for everything?
Hey champ,
Then your first comment is completely non-sensical. I can understand a homer spinning everything to make their team look good because they love their team and want to feel good about them. I can understand a fan being objective and trying to remove all spin and look at the unvarnished truth because they don’t want to be deluded. I cannot understand a fan putting spin on everything to make their team look worse.
This is the second time you’ve started in on this line about our team underperforming despite having three NFL players on defense. Our leading tackler and best pass rusher made a combined 7 of 24 possible starts. FWIW, we won both games they started and we even beat Arkansas without Oliver. I’m not saying we’d have been undefeated if they played. I’m not saying we’d even had made a bowl. Maybe we eke out another win or two (Utah and BYU, for instance). I’m just pointing out this stupid motte and bailey argument you keep making. It’s not clever, no one falls for it. You cannot say we wasted the players that did not play last season and then do this retreat to returning starters when you get called on your illogical nonsense.
What exactly am I spinning here? Would we have been better defensively without those injuries? I’m not exactly sure, but since Nardo didn’t know what he was doing I would venture to say that MAYBE we would’ve been somewhere around 100th or so, which is still really bad. Remember, the season prior we had these same guys and we were still 125th nationally. I’m not spinning anything at all. I’m simply using common sense based on people and results.
We won those games because we played an FCS school, Tulsa (who’s terrible), and Arkansas turned the ball over twice as much as we did. It had absolutely little to do with Oliver being out. I just need you to look at your comment for a moment. You’re defending the team based on three non-conference games where our best win was against a team that went .500 this past season. You’re off your rocker.
In 2023 we were 125th in total defense. Nardo was totally wasting our players. Which is essentially why he got fired. It’s not just me saying that. There are a couple of others here that agree .
