Oh Boy. The should be interesting.
Not only do thy need playmakers. And tout BPA. Now another criteria is they must be able to change the culture of the team. Not just on the field but in the locker room as well.

Does this limit players they are looking for?
Does this mean Bain is off the board, because of his 2 year old off the field incident, of where a passenger died from the car accident. That he left the scene of, supposedly. I don't really know all that much about it.

Or does "Culture Changing Players" really mean nothing to discuss. As it is saying the same thing as High Character Players"
But they always come up with some what they think is cute saying. But it really sounds dumb at they same time.

It means that Downs is exactly what they want. Rodriguez would be a good fit too.

Styles as well , unfortunately

Styles as well , unfortunately

It looks to me if they are serious about this, they need to trade up to 6. I get the feeling that Downs and Styles with both be gone by pick 11.

The Cowboys will mess this up and trade up for Styles over Downs.

This is my worry as well

Are either worth losing our late 1st pick to trade up?

My ideal pair

 

[AstroPilota]

I'm tired of the last 20 years of "culture talk" and ready for some "winner" talk.

In my opinion, "culture" can be learned, especially if coaches and other players are setting an example. Now, if you mean "low character", then that is a different issue. I still think these players can turn it around with the right coaches and players. But, then again....I have no idea.

Fans keep pushing this. And will be mad when it does not happen.
I am against any trade up.

You want better culture? Win more games.

 

[stilltheguru]

Relying on rookies to change the culture is insane for a supposed contender

 

[zrinkill]

The front office party bus nitwits are worried about the culture.

The "make it rain" coach is worried about the culture.

Been hearing this crap since they refused to draft Randy Moss back almost 28 years ago.

no he did not leave the scene of the accident so thank you for screwing that up

Where is the mess up? Both would help this team.

Culture isn’t a guy who is a choir boy. It’s someone who is going to get in someone’s rear end when they are loafing. You know, the opposite of country club

Maybe even 6 Stles will be gone

Avion fits too

I agree with this. If you don't already have culture-setters on the field to lead people then you are facing an uphill battle. Q seems like one. Don't know about anyone else.
