and having the super duo linebacker core of Parsons w/ Watt.......even greater than the doomsday defense of the landry era.....I cringe everytime I think about it Taco bum was selected instead of......could of should of.....but its great to ponder..
There is a pretty extensive list of woulda coulda shoulda that the cowboys missed on just in 2016 draft alone but ya you’re right it would be sweet

I've always wondered if he would of been at least average had Lawrence not blossom in 2017 and Taco got to play more snaps at LDE. All of sacks his rookie year came from the left.

Obviously his attitude was an issue and he still would of been compared to Watt but he was out of place at RDE

yeah, but Watt seems 2 be getting hurt lately, missing games. I would have loved 2 have chose him, but long term, can he remain viable,healthy? We will always wonder what could have been I guess.

That's just it that I don't think people think about when they ponder changing history. If the Cowboys take Watt, that alone would create an entirely different ripple through time, very likely to change the outcome of our future selections.
^^bingo^. Fate does play a role I think. Glad things happened the way they did.

I see our defense getting better and better with the youngsters. Its baby steps. We getting healthy at a great time. We saw a glimpse of what we can be last week. Brown had a bounce back game as well.Big Bohannon had a decent game.

If it's on your mind you're not over it.
Im not losing sleep over it....just enters my mind everyso often......I have to even ponder, that noone on this board EVER!!!!!!!!!! revertes back to any particular draft...........especially not winning in 25 + years.....so yea I will still ponder.....Jerry once said "Cant win the superbowl every year!" Not picking good players could be one of the reasons why

Hopefully Jerry is correct, and it was not the JWB speak. That Gregory and Gallimore will be back next game. As well Hill will be back also.

This will be the 1st game the projected front 4 will be on the field at the same time.
