Well we get to draft in the dead zone.

[Schmoopy1000]

Since the nineties. To me I always fear drafting in the range of 22 to 26. It seems to have the most non significant players (for a range) & never & I mean never draft a Qb in this range. Unless you want to be fired or laughed at. Although Aaron Rodgers was the only QB in that range to amount to anything. But lets be real. He was supposed to go in the top 10. There is like a handful of players in that range that was a thumbs up pick. 160 or so picks. Probably under 10% good picks here. I hope we move up or move back & get some other compensation before staying pat at 24. Dont need a David Lafleur or Felix Jones type pick here. We traded out a couple times where the other team landed Losman & Quinn with our pick. Really want us to get out of the dead zone. For a 1st round pick Even a late round pick. Would want better. I definitely dont want us sitting in the 22 to 26 range. BTW during the draft a lot of picks in the 22 to 26 range got a lot of people excited thinking good pick. Only to be proven wrong later. To me it is just a cursed section of the draft. Trade up or Trade back please. (& zero QBs should be drafted in this section)

rest of teams still in Playoffs.

While a lot of people talking of the Eagles getting 3 1st rd picks which is impressive.
I noticed the Giants with the #5 & #7 picks in this draft. Two top tens.
Now I dont know how strong this draft is, but still impressive.

Good thing is we don't necessarily need a super star, just a quality starter. Our main pieces are still in place.

Usually a nice spot to grab an interior OL or maybe a DT

The balance of power could shift in the division. The Giants likely will get good players.

I hope it is OL. Linderbaum is NFL ready. Penning is another guy that i like. Both could be gone though,but hard telling. If you are going to run up the gut then you have to get stronger and bigger in the middle. Williams and Biadz get man handled. Linderbaum is good,but i wonder how he fares against big nose tackles.

I just dont see it unless they make a play for Rodgers , Wilson , Watson. Daniel Jones is average.

gotta agree....gmen & skins are a long ways away based on acquired talent and currant QB play. Eagles aren't in that much better shape

Dallas has assembled so much greater team talent threw the draft over the last 3,4, 5 drafts.
THANKS WILL....if only the jones were as good at their job, we'd be back in high cotton

The good thing is..thier most pressing need is a QB and this is not the draft for it. I think they might trade those picks to get RW.

O-line is #1 priority IMO. Dak is not like Brady or Rodgers. He really needs good oline that can get the running game going and atleast and more time to pass. Connor and Biadaz were disastrous.

Last year we went all defense with basically every off-season move we made. I think we need 2-3 of our major moves to be online. Use 1 or 2 of our first round picks and sign a vet.

we definitely need to infuse at least two OL into next years starting line up. We really cant move on from Tyron Smith next year (would be a 12 mil dead cap) but we can get his replacement next year who would get some playing time when he is injured next year. & we definitely need another interior Lineman to break into the starting line up next year.

They need run blocking OLmen or much better coaching and better run plays drawn up.

A blind man can see the Dallas run game isnt scaring too many.

True, although i dont think Brady has ever had a bad OL in front of him. He had stout lines in NE the entire time he was there and the one in Tampa is amongst the best in the league. I would love to see him play behind a guy like Conner Williams. Nothing will disrupt a QB more is pressure up the middle. Probably the one year Brady had a suspect line he got hurt.

 

[UK Cowboy]

We hit on two young all pros in Micah and Diggs. There are a few other young guys on the D with potential. I would keep drafting defense and OL. We have a $40 million per year QB. He needs to be able to elevate the talent around him. Every other guy making that kind of money does.

Yep, and the running game is much less scary when your starting RB plays the majority of the season with a torn knee ligament. Whoever let that happen is a pinhead. Was it Mccarthy?

The big question is how do they approach the OL? They have no cap room to address it in FA. They may need to use a 1st or 2nd round pick.

We still dont know what we got in Farniok or Ball. I see potential,but we wont know until pre season if either can really play.

I think that would be great. One LT and one IOL.
I've read that we can clear $50 million with 4-5 restructures. We won't be able to go on a binge but we can keep a few of our own. I think Schultz and Kearse should be the priority. I know Gregory flashes all the time, but he had a big hand in pissing the game away Sunday(Along with Connor Williams), 6 penalties between them and Gregory out there laughing after the 3rd one cemented it for me. They can both go. Start DLaw and Parsons at end, and bring back Armstrong if the price is reasonable. Draft OL and D. Make Pollard the feature back. Reshape this offense to a running/play action offense and watch your QB flourish again like he did as a rookie. He isn't Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers, don't expect him to be

 

[PDay8810]

It will be interesting to see what the focus will be this draft. I may be one of the few, I seriously consider Collins at LG and insert Steele at RT, draft two oline guy, one within the first 3 rounds and the other around round 5. I draft a RB in round 6 and allocate pretty much the remainder of the draft on defensive guys with speed for their position

I said that earlier in the season to my son. I think I mentioned it here too, but I'm not about to go searching for it. I want the best 5 on the field regardless of where their contract states they play.
