The folks that want Pitts, Sewell, Slater

[Dre11]

Don't care about the CB position? Right now we have one starter on the roster at CB and I'm not fond of a rookie starter there, but we passed on veteran CBs in Free agency so right now the only way to get one seems to be the draft. If we draft Slater, Sewell or Pitts, we lose Surtain and Joe Horn. Not only is Surtain a great pick at 10, He fits a need and arguably the BPA on defense side of the ball. Why would you do anything else on draft day but take him.?

If Surtain turns out to be the shutdown corner some expect him to be,I have no issue drafting him. My only concern May be the lack of interceptions. A total of 4 , I believe.

I haven’t watched enough of his games but perhaps the other teams were throwing away from him, much like what happened with Jalen Ramsey in college. This team has desperately needed a ball hawk in the secondary for a long time

 

[Carson]

I love Surtain and he’s been my pick from day one. But you can draft another corner in rounds 2-3 and find production. You can also sign a free agent for production. Now, they likely won’t be long term / as well rounded as Surtain.

Pitts and Sewell are blue chip players. Hard to pass on them.

I can’t pass over Surtain for Slater

 

[Cowboys22]

The draft is not the last resort to get a starting CB opposite Diggs. There will be chances to add a veteran and the draft is deep at CB. There will still be good ones available in round 2. You simply cannot pass on a blue chip player for a lesser player because of need. That is the recipe for mediocrity. If you have them rated similarly, then yes go for the bigger need.

 

[RS12]

Too many people expecting injured OLinemen to come back and everything fall into place going forward. Those same people think the annual Jones family shopping spree at the 99 cents store plugged up the defense which couldn't stop a runny nose. I am gonna say neither of those things go right. I will add I know the value of a good cover corner but at 10 in the draft you need to make plays. I don't see that in these guys. My logic is spend those resources closer to the ball.

Lions drafted Okudah at #3 and he stunk it up. Diggs outperformed Okudah. What makes you think Surtain is a sure thing? Like last year with Diggs, maybe the best CB in the draft can be obtained in the 2nd round.

Pick the best player available regardless of position or current need.

I’ve gone on record recently that I am opposed to trading up for Pitts, mainly bc the draft capital to move up is far too valuable to our defense. I’ve changed my tune a little bit..

I still don’t want to trade up (for anyone, to be clear) and I also don’t believe Pitts will fall to 10.. but if Pitts is there at 10, Dallas absolutely must draft him. Pitts is a stud and will compliment our offense just fine, exp next year when Gallup moves on and/or Amari (and his salary) is cut/traded. I could easily see a scenario next year of:

Amari, Lamb, Pitts (or) Lamb, Gallup, Pitts

Either way.. next years receiving core will look different due to Gallup’s or Cooper’s contract demands. Pitts would ensure we keep a high octane offense together.

I must admit though, The Pitts factor is a struggle for me bc IMHO I believe the best scenario to strengthen our team in this draft is to trade back and draft as many top 100 defensive players as possible... but the possibility of drafting a future superstar like Pitts is too tempting.

lol.. I guess what I’m saying is.. I don’t know what to do?!

He'a the last resort at the price. 2 quality CBs which is a high paid position on rookie scale.. that goes a very long way. cap dollars don't grow on trees. Now we're gonna hit the "after draft bargain bin" and find a steal? Or in desperate times just trade next years first come October?

I'd like to get a defensive starter too. Surtain is certainly one I'd love to have. That said, if the FO knows something about our OTs, such as an impending retirement or degenerative condition, that changes things. At that point Id go best player available. If Pitts falls, he'd be hard to pass if we don't think we can keep Gallup long term.

nothing after the 1st round?

 

[Landryhat73]

I don’t disagree about corner being a need and think I would rather have Surtain instead of Slater. But I also think what Pitts brings (probably won’t make it to 10) is also going to be a need, especially in 2022. Think about it this way, we most likely are going to have to make a decision between Gallup and Cooper next year, Schultz is a free agent, and Jarwin is coming off a ACL and could be a potential cap causality. Pitts makes any of those decisions a lot easier. Think Sewell is just to good to pass up as well.

 

[Point-of-the-Star]

This Joe Horn, is he the kinfolk to renown gunslinger Tom Horn?

I thought Horn was done wrong.


BTW . . . I think JayCee Horn is the better choice with more upside than Surtain II . Having said that there is an argument for taking Pitts or Sewell if one happened top slide down to us at #10. If that was to happen and one of those chosen i would not lose sleep over it as this is a deep DB class and would concentrate going DB with the next 2 picks. Trevon Diggs was a #2 and he has been pretty good.

 

[RandyOh]

You dont pass on blue chip players to take need. I would have no problem with Surtain, but any other defensive player besides him is a reach and yes that includes Horn(small reach). Not to mention the game is won and lost in the trenches and we have already lost a generational talent at Center in Fredbeard. We also have 2 offensive tackles with injuries that could cause them to hang it up at any time like Fredbeard.

Now Pitts is absolutely a luxury at first, but yall need to start thinking how these players fit longer term and not just there first year or 2. Pitts, along with Lamb, can be who we build our offense around for the next 10+ years. Quit treating the draft as an extension of free agency and get the best cheap young talent you can get.

 

[Typhus]

Dont know if a blue chipper will still be there at 10, but if there is one, you draft them.

Lions drafted Okudah at #3 and he stunk it up. Diggs outperformed Okudah. What makes you think Surtain is a sure thing? Like last year with Diggs, maybe the best CB in the draft can be obtained in the 2nd round.

Pick the best player available regardless of position or current need.

What does Okudah in Detroit have to do with Surtain, what makes you think the two situations are comparable? Saints drafted Lattimore and he's become one of the top corners in the league, so what's your point?, you also have a need at CB, while either lineman may sit, and Pitts could be a waste.

 

[LittleD]

Jerrah don't care about no stinkin defense. He loves him some Pitts who will bring lots of butts to the stadium. Offense makes quan and Jerrah is all about the quan.

 

[Dre11]

Are they definite starter material? There's a bigger chance they arent

Too bad 88 is taken. If Lamb switches Jerry has a golden opportunity here to take jersey sales to new heights!!!

 

[Teague31]

Brown. Lewis.

we like our guys

 

[ChronicCowboy]

If we draft an OT, there’s a subplot.

Tyron and/or Collins may be finished. Or we may be interested in moving Collins inside.

Pitts ain’t happening. He’ll go top 5 and the last thing we need is a receiver.
