If you were the GM

[blueblood70]

Because all true franchise QBs need a dominant OL and the skill positions littered with pro bowl caliber players everywhere.

loo sarcasm meter went off the chart..right that 40mil highest paid qb at the moment highest paid NFL player needs a PB at every position around him..right

We have a bad news/good news situation....
Bad news: This roster is depleted at so many positions, especially on defense.
Good news: No matter what round, there will be plenty of options to improve this team.

Obviously, this should be a defense dominated draft. But with the 10th pick, if there’s a really talented LT that is available and is rated higher on our draft board than say a Corner, I would draft that LT at #10. We should always follow our draft board’s talent evaluations.

For example, too many fans think because we need defensive help so badly, you must take a defender at 10. That depends. I believe we need a replacement for Ty Smith sooner than later, and we need some OL upgrade. And finding a quality LT is one of the top 3 hardest positions to find real talent. If a great LT falls to us, and our draft board has him rated higher than a defensive player, I take the LT. However, I would not do that for a position of strength such as WR.

Whatever happens, we should not reach for guys in the draft just because they are at a position of need. If you believe in your talent evaluators (like Will McClay) then follow the draft board. If you don’t believe in them, you should fire them and get someone else.

Trade down

 

[Sheepherder]

nope not this season cant do it BPA on defense or move down a few spots get the same guy and extra pick no way you sniff offense ..far too much money and resources on offense, time to get defense in shape,.,

Trade down

If you trade down, would it be possible to end up with two first rounders,just curious?

 

[Jake]

Just pretend you are the Cowboys GM and you still have all the top defensive prospects available at the #10 selection. Now this is for amateurs like myself, I admit it. Tell me who your pick is and I'll share mine. Just for fun.

If Penei Sewell somehow falls to 10 (unlikely) I'm taking him. He's the only OL I would take that high. Tyron isn't going to get less injury-prone and Collins is coming off hip surgery.

If it's defense I'd lean toward Surtain. Put the Bama boys back together and start tightening this secondary.

 

[Jake]

Trade down

The obvious question is who would want to trade up but this year it's easier to answer. If one of the QBs is sitting at 10 I could see the phone ringing from places like San Fran, New England, Chicago, and/or Washington.

 

[Ranching]

Shouldnt it be a "?" after a question ?
BTW: No need to be so agressive. If you think your idea is right, just be calm and write it down.

So you say you would draft a WR or a QB with our 10th pick ?!
Wasnt it you who was for signing Prescott long term ?

Well, thats great management of resources.

So, you wouldn't have drafted CeeDee Lamb??? Lol!!! Get the ***** outta here

 

[CowboysDrew]

If Farley or Surtain are available I take one of them, especially if it's Farley.

If not I'd entertain trading back a few slots and still be happy with Jaycee Horn. I might even be tempted to do that if it's between Surtain at 10 or Horn somewhere farther back plus a pick.

What kind of an answer is this ?

What i wouldnt do is follow simple rules like "always draft BPA" or something like that. Simple rules never work. And for sure someone who wants to be successful wont follow such rules.
They are for people who need simple rules because the whole picture, which is complex, is too overwhelming for them. Because they never learned or dont have the talent to break down complex problems into smaller simpler ones and then solve those.

Simple rules are nice gimmicks. Easy sentences where simple people can be attracted by. Just look at politics. Especially when there is a election going on, sentences will get simpler and simpler to attract people emotionally.

To come back to your question: No, i wouldnt have drafted Lamb. That is not because he is not good. It is because we did not need him AND we needed help elsewhere.
There are a lot of reasons why i wouldnt have drafted a WR with our first pick. I will only explain one here:

If Lamb would have been the right pick, shouldnt he made us a better team ? That means we all having more wins than the year before. But we ended up being worse.
Of course you can argue its because we lost our QB. But then why not put a premium pick into a QB or into defense so it can hold up even with a lower scoring offense ?

Lol! Now I know......

 

[Ranched]

CORNERBACK: South Carolina CB Jaycee Horn

LINEBACKER: Penn State Micah Parsons. Hands down PS has the best in that department.

OFFENSIVE TACKLE: USC Trojans OT/OG Alijah Vera-Tucker

WILD CARD: Gators TE Kyle Pitts

 

[TwentyOne]

Lol! Now I know......

Good. Nothing to thank me for.

So please next time spare us with your stupid ideas and dont tell nobody you didnt know any better.

 

[Jake]

Because all true franchise QBs need a dominant OL and the skill positions littered with pro bowl caliber players everywhere.

In 2019, Tom Brady was surrounded by garbage at the skill positions and the Patriots offense struggled. They barely got a TD vs Dallas and were shut down by the Titans in the WC round.

In 2020, Tom Brady was surrounded by a TE and 3 WRs who all have Pro Bowls on their resumes'. They were 3rd in scoring and won the Super Bowl.

What a bum.

 

[Bullflop]

I'd go with either Farley or Parsons. That's assuming Penei Sewell was already taken. If not, I'd take him in a heartbeat.

 

[JoeKing]

What word didn't you understand!!!

¿Qué?

 

[charron]

Best available, no matter what position.

Have to at least consider all of them. If it's close i'd lean defense but if hands down pitts or an OT is clearly the better player then you gotta pull the trigger.

Thanks. Always have this problem when i write in english.

It's the double negative rule. If you have double negatives you change one to a positive.
Unless, you're intentionally trying to create a double negative for effect, which I have done purposely on occasions.
