From what I've been reading about camp, maybe not. Crawford and Wilber seem to be performing way above expectations.

It looks like the Cowboys could be considering resigning Montrae Holland. If so, that's a decent option at guard. Montrae played well last year.

Jerrah's biggest blunder, still breathing oxygen which allows him to remain alive and be open to criticism for everything he does.

If all had been left on ignore as you stated, then what you stated would be true.....then.
There's no right way to do the wrong thing.

To compete for the playoffs, Dallas has to improve here: Only four sacks against Eli Manning over the past six games!

While I have no problem with the notion that getting our O-Line stronger, or trying to, via the draft would have been a great idea I think it's beyond the point of silly to act like getting the best defensive player in the draft, in an absolute area of need, is a bad move.

We needed offensive line improvement with out a doubt. We also needed secondary improvement without any doubt.

I don't see how trying to improve either is a bad move. I'd also love to see us improve the defensive line even more and hopefully Crawford will begin that improvement.

I agree. It is not like I don't want to see top OL prospects being brought in via the draft but by the same token our secondary was killed last season and was a big reason we lost some big games. Dallas went out and did what they had to do to correct it one by getting a highly rated CB in Carr and then by drafting a concensus best CB in the draft.

As for the OL, I think Callahan has his work cut out for him but I think people also need to remember many of these guys are young and we don't know what kind of progress they are making in this off season, we are about to find out
