The Cowboys just aced the draft.

They turned their strength into a greater strenght.

The only spot left in question is an DE opposite Lawerence.

Sure that spot could be Aldon Smith or Gregory, but those two's future is still up in the air. We have some young players and the guy from Utah could be a nice option.

But when looking at the roster, that DE position is the biggest question mark, and luckily for the Cowboys the best remaining FA fits that need. (And if not Clowney, Griffin is still there as plan B).

Also, according to the CBA, the deadline for compensatory picks is 3 PM the Monday following the draft.

So, if the Cowboys can agree with Clowney after 3 pm on Monday, they can add the best available FA on the market, fill their biggest need, and not take away from the picks they gain from losing Cobb, Quinn, and Jones.

Let's get this done.

Definitely more that one question left on the team.

That being said, no way sign Clowney. Not even close to the money.

DE is now crowded. I’d rather let all that work itself out. Go out this week and find some reall competition for Chris Jones and try and swing a deal for a good all around veteran TE. Then maneuver your cap situation to allow for making a run at trading for Adams before the deadline. If they can do those three things, I will start believing they might do something in the playoffs.

Cowboys have 10.5 million in cap space and though they can rework contracts they won't have much left after signing rookies. Hopefully the NFL will rule on on Gregory and Smith soon. Clowney is a dream signing but not for the money he wants.

A safety would be beneficial...I agree at this point.

@vnick No, let's not and say we did. Now if you can somehow get Clowney will sign for vet min, then I'm all for it.

I got an easier solution.

Cut Crawford. Sign Griffen. Don't have to restructure anyone.

Holy crap.

This is worst than the Sign Dez threads.

I just do not see this happening.

I mean in a parallel Bizzaro Superman World..

sure.

But in Bizzaro Jerrah World, no.

Jerrah likes guys like Aldon Smith.

Guys Jerrah can point to like Quinn and pay them half their value and get a great year out of them and say..

See..[ did that.

I like it. Other than Demarcus....it's all gray area.

Aldon Smith hasn't played in 5 seasons. Success is not his problem like Irving, it handling success that is the issue.

Randy is out of football.

Anae is a rookie... see rookies DEs last year..

Get Clowney prove it year is plausible

I could see a safety
Maybe a vet who gets cut after draft
But as much as I’d like Clowney it’s just not financially worth what it would take
Quinn you got a prove it type deal but that’s not happening with clowney

Myself, I look for the Cowboys to move a current CB to fill at safety..
