RogerDodger 797 Posted April 17, 2023 Well if I'm going by the 30 visits is going to be a WR. They had 5 out of the top 6 visit. 2nd best bet would be LB as the top two visited. They'll target a RB in the 3rd and TE in the 5th.

RogerDodger 797 Posted April 17, 2023 They continue to ignore the DT position. Only one S visit worth mentioning, but, Mapu is the one I'd target. Biggest safety in the draft, hopefully the just take him outright with the number 2 pick. Like the OG-Avila visit, but, it doesn't look like they're going OG with the first pick and he won't be there late in the second. Looks like they've resigned to pick up OG beef late in the draft. I tried to see where Bijan might go based on his 30 visits and the first page of articles google returned were "Cowboy's Visits Where's Bijan?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cruzer 1,992 Posted April 18, 2023 4 hours ago, RogerDodger said: They continue to ignore the DT position. Jep, have been since Russell Maryland. This team has talent, but it's soft. Two years in a row SF has out muscled them in the postseason. Until Jerry and Co wake up and finally figure it out - things won't change. As far as the draft, we need to work from the ball back. To continually count on T. Smith to be healthy and start most games is utterly stupid - if not flat out irresponsible. Drafting where we do, it will be hard to target any one player........ But if there's an OL with a 1st rd grade or a DT with the same - I go there first. I also look at DE, S, CB and WR. Whatever we do, I'll be pissed if Jerry pulls the trigger on a TE or RB in the 1st. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JustinCharge 2,397 Posted June 27, 2023 Is this the most exciting offseason for the Cowboys in years? A year ago, they clobbered the defending AFC Champion Bengals, swept the playoff Giants, beat the NFC Champion Eagles, won their first road playoff game in years over Tom Brady's Bucs, ending his career, and hung tough against a powerful 49er team in a playoff loss.

WhiteWonder 2,172 Posted January 17 I actually don't quite know where to begin with a team as overall talented as Dallas. Is Jerry a big part of the problem? absolutely. At the same time, it's hard to fault an owner who cares about winning when my own team has an owner who has always been obsessed with the back page and PSLs. I feel like we have even seen Jerry take a step back, as GM, when it comes to draft picks he wants to make versus the right pick and listening to the team around him. As crazy as it sounds, one of the things that really held them back this year was not finding a way to bring Zeke back. He filled in pretty nicely on a bad patriots team, especially in the short passing game, while Tony Pollard looked cooked all season. Not that it had to be Zeke... he's just an easy example but I'm sure they didn't expect their 26 year old, new lead back to just get to 1,000 yards on a 4.0 average with 6 total TDs. Dan Quinn's defense got gashed against the Packers.... but games happen. He led a top 5 defense for most of the season. It's hard to not have an occasional bad game, the way the NFL is skewed toward offense these days. Between MM and Dak, as much as I love Dak, it may just be time to finally admit he is a regular season, Romo-esque QB. Give MM all the flak you want but solid head coaches are hard to come by. How many college coaches have we seen fail to transition? How many highly coveted coordinators have failed as HCs, only to go back to being good coordinators? Look at Brian Daboll. Everytime I watch the guy coach, and everything I hear about him and read about him tells me he is likely one of those guys who should be an O-coordinator, not a HC. Talented QB's don't grow on trees either, but they also get paid a hell of a lot more. I picked Dallas in a big playoff pool (already had futures bets on San Fran and Baltimore from a while back)... but really it wasn't hard to see this coming as soon as they drew Green Bay. yes...

The Pats o line was not as good as Dallas. once cut, he was cheaper for the Pats… 4 mil guaranteed vs. the 10 mil franchise tag on pollard. and he did good work in the pass game.

I doubt keeping zeke moves any needle tho. That role could be filled by 10s of cheap backs. Hell Bills just released Leo Fournette. Ty Johnson and Lat Murray were good enough to backup Cook. Moral of the story is, backs grow on trees. Especially ones you just need fot a part time role. Zeke stinks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
