Cowboys Draft Grade A+

Either you love the Dallas Cowboys or you hate them. The big blue star stirs up a passion in football fans that few teams in any sport can. So it came as no surprise when the early draft grade for the Cowboys was a D. No blockbuster trades, no first day pics, just a cast of "who is he?" and "where's that school?" The criticism seemed warranted, until Saturday.

These rookie players, and staff alike, showed courage in the midst of the horrific collapse of their practice facility. Cameras showed many players risking their own safety (and potential careers) to save an employer that will in all likely hood not hire them. Jerry Jones let go of all of his players with "character issues" in the off season. Judging from that standard, the Cowboys draft class gets an A+.

Our prayers go out to the injured and their families.
