What's your all-too-early grade thus far?

[Stash]

Sure, technically free agency just started, but our team, and the entire league, has made plenty of moves.

Based on who's still here and who's gone, how would you grade the Cowboys so far?

I'd have to give them a B+.

While there are some names I would have liked to see, I also give them credit for keeping Prescott and Cooper. I also give them credit for keeping Forbath at kicker and Looney as a backup interior lineman.

And I think the McCoy signing was an inspired steal.

Still work to be done, but I have to say they've gotten off to a good start.

What say you all?

B thus far.

 

[dagreat1_87]

C+ so far....Offense is still in good shape but we've gotten worse at DE, CB, and S....but theres still time to improve

I would give a higher grade if Dak was a deal that didn’t handicap us with a full 31M cap hit. Glad Cooper, Looney and Lee came back at reasonable deals. Where my concern lies is not seeing a lot of great strides with strengthening our D. McCoy was a bargain and solid. I have seen quite a few reasonable contracts going to other teams. Which is kind of a business as usual MO lately. So my grade is C+/B- right now.

A solid C. Could be a C-.

The signing of our own thing is nice until you realize they were all part of last year's failure.

The only outside influence they have introduced is Gerald McCoy.

Sorry, it is going to take more to impress me.

Very understandable. And some excellent points. There has been far more retention than pieces added. And even McCoy replaces Collins leaving for the Raiders.

Even with the grade I gave, I do recognize that they still need to do more at DE and likely CB as well.

B ....still a lot of work to be done. Hats off for retaining Dak and Coop but that was expected so I'm not giving too credit there. Signing McCoy and NOT overspending to keep the starters we lost gets my B grade.

Based on who they are letting walk, have to give them a B. McCoy was a great contract and indicates they understood the #1 priority.

How have we gotten worse at safety? LOL the worst safety in the NFL is guaranteed to not be starting anymore.

DE, we just got better against the run. With McCoy signed we definitely got better.

If you throw in replacing Jason Garrett with Mike McCarthy I'd give this off season a solid A+ so far.

That's where a solid draft and a new coaching staff come in. Hopefully that's not too much to ask.

 

[Killerinstinct]

They still have enough cap space to make more signings. I would prefer one big splash signing but will probably land a lower level S and a 1T and call it good.

 

[charron]

D. Spent a ton of money without making the team better. Long way to go to see how the final roster shakes out.

 

[big dog cowboy]

While he's not a FA addition, replacing Quinn with Randy Gregory is an upgrade.

You're cheating......OP said nothing about "throwing in" Garrett (LOL LOL )

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

C with tons of work left to do on the D side.

 

[John813]

B-.

Still quiet on the secondary front outside of retaining their own.

I like the McCoy deal, and improvement over Collins, but still need a stable RDE added.
Gregory can't be suspended no more for weed, but I just don't trust him yet.

 

[jjktkk]

B+. Still need a starting caliber RDE, to compete with Gregory. Hard for me to rely on Gregory. Otherwise I like what they have done so far.
