I don't get the Bell love. Did I miss something and he played really well?
hes ranked as the 20th best free agent. someone at nfl.com likes him.

I think we are uncertain about Randy, but I don’t think the FO is. There is really no reason Randy wouldn’t get reinstated and I think the team knows that more than me. Once reinstated, the CBA rule changes have suddenly made him reliable. He won’t be missing any games from positive tests.Tall task to ask your first three picks to be day one starters at CB, S and likely DE
Hopefully Gregory returns and eliminates the need at RDE
we are penny pinching curmudgeons. Its good at times, but in other cases, we need to know when its time to go get a guy. Stevie don't seem to care.Everson Griffen is the best bet out there at DE, although, the Cowboys likely don't want to hear what he's wanting to sign. It's just sad.

still some meat left on the bone
At this stage, none of us should be puzzled. They have handled that position and the DT (specifically the 1Tech/NT) position as afterthoughts.
-2 surprises happen early on in fa, team lost Robert Quinn & Randall Cobb, 2 players we heard the team hoped to retain. Great WR Class, but not so much with edge rushers. Since the development of Defensive Lineman takes time, signing a fa makes the most sense. Griffen, Vernon are two names I hope are on the team's radar.
-It appears that we won't see another CB fa signing as the Front Office decided to not invest in either Chris Harris or Trufant. 4 rostered CB's, should looks like #5 will come from the draft, perhaps even our 1st rd pick. It wouldn't me that they won't draft a couple as both Awuzie/Lewis are fa's after the season. Strong CB class can find us a, impact, plug and play starter.
-The NT/1-Tech class is starting to thin out. Will the team finally fill the need or continue to bring in bottom feeders at the position? The likes of Billings, Snacks Harrison are still available.
-I just cannot see the team staying pat at the safety position. Woods is scheduled to become a fa in 2021. Thompson is strictly a backup and Wilson is a very green prospect. There is still a lot of quality out there in fa.
Team still has a lot of cap room, in which they can even create more cap space, they are far from finished.
ON PAPER it looks great. In reality, it may not be all that great. Do we really know about Gregory just yet? Will Dlaw refocus on football? How much does Suh love the game? McCoy is a stud...and the anchor in the middle. We better draft accordingly and help him. Counting on older vets like Suh is risky.can you imagine a line up Lawrence, McCoy, Suh and Gregory.. hopefully they can sign Suh to a 1 year deal.

I am puzzled at their handling of S.
your right, really bizarre.Its kin to mental illness.i've puzzled for 10 years. it's always a back burner position for them. maddening.
Only in their head and in the hearts of Fan Boys.This is where the jones' thrive. Clearance rack
But who would you have pursued?
Wasn't a strong market, and Justin Simmons got tagged early,, just take a look at who was available.
I thought about Ha Ha, former affiliation with MM, but I haven't checked to see if he has been signed yet.
Personally, I’m shocked and angered we didn’t prioritize either a S or a big 1- tech. I didn’t see this coming.

Oh definitely i forgot about him, he had a pretty good season with the Pats last year!! He would definitely be a great addition for Cobb!I like Sanders like most but i think he's going to cost too much, i'd rather go for someone like Phillip Dorsett, as he gives us that jet sweep player + slot + returner.
