Looking at the NFC East drafts since 2010 - O.T.I.S.

One of our good buddies, XxTDxX, at cowboyszone.com has made an interesting assessment about the NFC East's draft picks since 2010. Comparing the teams (Giants, Eagles, Redskins and Cowboys) first and second round draft pick here it is the article: 

I have made a list of all the players in the NFC East who were drafted from 2010-2013 who are either starters or important role players on their respective teams. I did this purely because I was curious but what I found was pretty encouraging/surprising.

Players who I consider to be Impact/Well above average players are in bold

I also included a list of notable "Busts" (Either 1st or 2nd round picks who are not with the team or are not notable contributors to the team

Notable Busts: None


Final Results are

Giants: 9 Total, 6 Starters, 1 Well above average player , 1 Bust

Eagles: 12 Total, 8 Starters, 0 Well above average players, 4 Busts

Redskins: 11 Total, 7 Starters, 4 Well above average players, 1 Bust

Cowboys: 12 Total, 9 Starters, 3 Well above average players, 0 Busts

In my opinion the Cowboys have arguably had the best drafting in the NFC East since 2010. One could certainly make an argument for the Redskins but that also hinges on what becomes of RG3. I listed him in bold because of last year but the way things are going I'm not sure that will stay that way.

This also doesn't include undrafted contributors since 2010 which I am quite certain we have the most of (Barry Church, Dan Bailey, Lance Dunbar, Ronald Leary)

The Cowboys DO have the best Talent in the NFC East and have the best young talent as well. It's time that translates but as long as you keep losing every close game with a good opponent it will be difficult.
