What effect will signing Osa have?

[gtb1943]

I just HOPE the FO understands we still need two more DL at least; and one of them an inside guy. A REAL NT is an absolute must if you want to really anchor the line

 

[jazzcat22]

They won't. They feel with Osa and Mazi, no other DT's needed as a high priority.
Get ready for a 5th round reach, as the tell us how they got value.

ya think

three backups at LB and a practice squad CB.

Their focus has to be fixing their run game now, linebackers and DL.

 

[Dalmations202]

Let's hope the Osa signing has little to no effect on the draft.

IMO, Dallas needs an impact player in 1. Starters by mid season in 2 and 3, specifically at MLB, DT, and RB.

The rest need to be developmental players that can contribute at least a little now, trying to find that diamond in the rough.

If that defense morasp is correct, it gets exposed. I think there are many Texas High School OC's that would know how to exploit that defense. Lightweight line, No thump in the LBs. Safeties can't cover man to man. Not mentioning the corners. Ouch.

 

[J-man]

I think it's good news that they signed him. He gets a lot of pressure from inside. Shoring up the run game around him still needs to happen. So I certainly wouldn't change my mind about drafting DT as early as possible. And possibly getting 2.

They know and they can get the NT in the draft.

They know and they can get the NT in the draft.

A) do they really know?
B) do they care?
C) are they smart enough to do it?

They have gone DL with combine meets knowing Odighizuwa was going on the team next year, and pretty sure it was going to he long. I think DT was a priority even with Odighizuwa

Yes
Yes
Yes

Yes

we will see
these are the same guys that thought bringing back Zeke was better than getting Henry

truth will be after the Draft

They also waited to spend the money this year and it sure looks like they are spending .

One mid to somewhat above signing is not spending money

I think it doesn't press the need to select a dt in round 1. They absolutely still need guys to add to the rotation, so wouldn't rule out a dlinemen in round 1, but does provide them insurance and flexibility.

“New defense” = old defense that got whipped regularly last year

No, it's actually worse. Last year we had Overshown and Kendricks at Lb, Lewis at nickel and three CBs who are on currently on IR Butler, Carson, and Diggs.
