It's last offseason all over again

[Sydla]

Lewis is gone. Golston is gone. I suspect Dowdle is likely out of here at some point.

Last year's offseason was essentially watching decent depth pieces run off and the Cowboys backfilled them with cheaper, worse options and then tried to plug the dam with draft picks. It didn't work (it never works).

They are doing it again this year it appears. Golston is out. They'll find some cheaper, worse JAG at some point. Lewis is gone. They'll come up with some awful CB option that is again, worse but at least cheaper. We appear to have already signed Dowdle's replacement and the trend continues with that new guy being worse but cheaper.

And then we will be told we will fix our issues in the draft.

It's the same thing over and over.

PS - This stupidity in FA is why our drafting is slowly getting more and more inconsistent. Because we are forcing ourselves into having to draft based on need because we refuse to actually bring in a quality FA or two that can fix one of our many issues each offseason.

There are so many needs that even if they nailed the draft picks, it wouldnt be enough. And we know the draft picks are only 50/50.

#2 WR
#1 RB
#1 LB
#2 CB
#2 DT
#2 RG
Not even counting the dumpster fire LT was last year.

I really, really hope it's VERY noticeable TO JERRY that the fan base is tired of this crap.

You’ll still pick em to win 12 games and make a run though.

You can add Safety to that list

 

[Jipper]

Hate to say it but this year might be worse, we might not add much but lose even more

 

[NDGAEDE]

Don't forget that they'll also start saying they've drafted some good young players, and it's time for them to step up (Eg. Mazi, Carson, Sam Williams, Liufau, Tolbert/Mingo etc). It's such a predictable cycle.

It WILL be worse.

It is, some predicted it. I don’t see why anyone expected anything different.

They think because the team was hurt they will be healthy now and that’s their improvement. Just stupidity.

You talking to me?

I absolutely have not picked them to win 12 games for awhile now.

You might be the board's biggest doofus.

Kneeland and Williams both reaches because they were 'needs' due to poor free agency

 

[Silver N Blue]

Jones boys just know so much more than the rest of the NFL. Proof is in the pudding right....

We have no voids.

Sam Williams is like an extra draft pick this year!!1!

I don’t recall them being reaches I remember people hashing we got good value on them.

 

[Nova]

I'm not emotionally invested anymore, but it still irritates me that the Front Office of a professional football team is this stupid.

Like any of us would be fired with this kind of incompetence.

My bad.

You’ll pick em to win 10 games and make a run.

My mistake.

The hilarious thing is that these guys aren't getting second contracts (sans maybe Liufau), so what are they saving cap room for?

LOL, another swing and a miss.

You aren't very good at this.
