Draft Positon 24

[freemanjc19]

Zeke is not going anywhere. Fans need to ge that dream out of their heads. Doesn't Pollard have another year on his deal?

I didn't say he was getting cut, I did say his role should be reduced. Pollard is a free agent!

 

[freemanjc19]

For the love of god please give me an impact DT preferably before the 6th round

I would give a first and 2 round pick to move up and draft the DT from the University of Georgia. He would let Parsons eat all day!

 

[Ring Leader]

Anybody out there similar to the 2005 24th pick overall?

No, but lots similar to the 20th.

Argument is valid, but that ship has sailed until 2024. Beef up the OL and try to make it work with Dak. Dak has value when he doesnt have to carry the team on his back.

Not necessarily true. The Rams signed Goff to an equally bad contract and got out of that after a year. Now, obviously its not ideal- they gave up a lot of real estate and ate a buncha money to do it…but it can be done. I agree with Catch though unfortunately, I do not think Dak is the guy anymore. We will not go anywhere fruitful with Dakota Rayne Prescott as our starting QB, that is UNLESS we have a top 5 running game and top 15 defense.

We need a QB. Without one a playmaker makes no difference.

Have to improve the run game and take the game out of Dak’s hands.

Just coz you need one, doesn’t mean there is one worth picking.
Like it or not the majority of teams would like to upgrade their QB.
Maybe the GM needs to do a better job of building a better team/coaching/culture (take your pick).

QB send a message that no one is safe. Dak hasn’t done anything to earn job security.

I would start preparing for his replacement. There is no way I would sign him again to a bigger contract in 2024.

I agree, he has not progressed in my opinion!

Maybe….and I don’t know what the goff cap hit looked like but daks in 2024 could be just $20 million. Until then you’re still looking at $40mm+ In dead cap just to move on from the guy. That pretty much negates the advantage of having a qb on a rookie deal.
I’m all for moving on from dak if it makes sense, I’m just not sure this makes sense given the cowboys cap constraints.

Dang, look at all those UFAs! Many were solid for us this year. No way we can keep a lot of the top producers with our current cap situation. I know that will change, but still kinda depressing.

Pollard is not on that list.

nor this one.

Build the offensive and defensive lines.
We don't need any more first round skill positions.
Fats a lot of good it did us anyway.
Notice how the Niners built around their offensive and defensive lines and demolished our star-studded offense.
We need to take a page from their playbook and build the trenches. Doesn't matter who you have as running back then.

 

[OmerV]

I wonder if we can get a decent playmaker at 24. Any thoughts on who would be a good pick 24?

I'm not sure playmakers are the biggest shortage. Players to control the interior of the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball may be the bigger priority

 

[Satchel89]

Tyler Linderbaum, C/G, Iowa

I mentioned him earlier. If there's one thing Iowa can usually do is produce Offensive Lineman and Tight Ends

Cowboys have a lot of tools in the shed they can trade for a better pick than 24.

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

You need Oline and Dline, both of those should be the only considerations at 24. SF ripped your Oline apart, and you got little pressure on Jimmy G

You’ll still need to pay someone and are you going to be in position to pick a better prospect?

A franchise QB at 24? Yeah ok

 

[BobSacamano]

I would move Collins back to Guard and let Steele take over the RT. IT covers you in the draft for not reaching! Ball is also a candidate for RT.

People need to slow down on projecting Steele as a starter.

21 Garrett Wilson WR 6-0 192 Ohio State JR
22 Devin Lloyd ILB 6-3 235 Utah SR
