Remember we don't Draft for Need

[Coogiguy03]

We badly need O-line help, but somehow the only NFL team with needs is so good of a team that they don't draft a need they have. We struggled all season long on the o-line, this must be of major importance. Leave it to the Jones's to act otherwise..... Give me your thoughts

 

[CCBoy]

no, noooo...at 24, just give us three offensive linemen

Talent plus team function. Lamb was quality, but how is he used? Some application of team dynamics is always required...of course, if one wants success and not just role.

 

[Vanilla2]

Crazy how quick we went from tired of all the high picks spent on o line to we don’t draft like that.

 

[Risen Star]

My thoughts are you don't understand the draft.

My thoughts are you don't understand the draft.

Or general team building

"Needs" aren't a couple positions you want single out. In reality, pretty every team has needs at every position. Lamb filled a need in 2020. Parson filled a need 2021

 

[CATCH17]

Dallas only chance is through offensive lineman.

Their QB is getting them nowhere. They need an elite ground game.


Dak Prescott will go into a shell when you need him the most. It’s what he does.


Build a run game.

Oline, linebacker, Safety are the 3 biggest areas of need. I will take a stud at any of those 3 positions. If they are all equal or close to it, give me the Olineman.

 

[The Quest for Six]

With 21 unrestricted free agents, there's going to be a lot of Need!!!

I wanted Slater, but you can’t complain about Micah, plus got an additional pick out of it.

Last year they drafted need all the way. Coulda had Creed Humphrey over Joseph, couldve had anyone over Wright, Golston and Osa. They really let Quinn get his way last year in the draft and I think it hurt this team and will hurt us down the road. Imagine Creed Humphrey manning this line.

This is true so RB should be added to need. I don't see Pollard as an everydown back. Should take someone in the 2-4 round. Zeke isn't worth all that money just because he can pass block. He has zero burst and isn't the guy they drafted.

if that's the case then we're doomed anyway. The run game is not a substitute for for a competent passing attack.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Draft needs won't be known until after FA.

That said, I'm in favor of going OL at 24 or small trade down.

……or you go full defense in the draft and try to recreate the 85 Bears defense……any qb can win with that

How’s our cap space for retaining our own people or acquiring other talent?…….

You can’t recreate that in modern football.

Look at all the teams left playing. Nobody has a juggernaut defense.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

They need to hit on at least one starting OG or center with in the first 3 rounds IMO. Even one good new starter would help the current OL out a lot IMO.

a mixture of sarcasm and wishful thinking….

100% yes. Dak is not a messiah.

We need an attack like 2016 Zeke and that OL. THAT is the only way we can even sniff success.
