It takes five or six years to truly evaluate a draft class. Judging a team's rookie crop after just over half a season is usually a fool's errand.But sometimes you know. Sometimes, late November arrives, and three rookies are starting, with others playing major roles. Even undrafted free agents are pitching in. And the top pick is drawing comparisons to a Hall of Famer.The Cowboys rookie class of 2005 is shaping up to be a great one, the kind around which Super Bowl teams are built. Maybe that's why Bill Parcells hasn't been shy about playing so many of his youngsters. Or why a coach who throws around compliments like 100-pound sacks of flour is suddenly willing to compare raw recruits to living legends.
