Well for starters, I was hoping they'd do more than just "fill out the defensive roster". I was hoping they'd try to really improve at least one clear hole on defense prior the draft. They decided, again, to not go that route. Instead we'll bargain shop in a week and then hope the draft lands us a windfall.
But ask yourself this question. For the last 5-6 years the Cowboys have largely had good offenses and suspect defenses. They have had clear holes at S and DT. And for the last 5-6 years, they've done the same thing they are doing this year - ignore a player that might have a big impact because he's too expensive, sift through the slop next week for some low cost warm bodies and then hope the draft is chock full of big wins for them.
How has that worked out for the team? What has that "plan" won them?
