It is clear that the Cowboys have done a very good job or acquiring talent and the window remains open to win a super bowl. I guess how much talent the Cowboys have relative to other teams is the subject of legitimate deabate.
I would say that most people would agree that the Cowboys have top 10 overall talent and should be a favorite in most of their games. Some would say that we are top 5. I personally think we are in the discussion that we may arguably have the best talent overall in the entire league.
A lot remains to be seen, but there should be even more optimism from our 2016 rookie class. If Jaylon, Tapper and Rico turn out to be all that and a bag of chips and we continue to get the same or better play out of the other rookies in the class that actually played last year we have a chance at having the best one year draft classes of all time.
I am going to go out on a limb here and say at least one of the additional rookies (Smith, Tapper, and Rico) will become a starter this year. I really believe we will get more than that out of them.
I really see the only question marks as secondary play early on and pass rush. If we can just be average in those categories in the first half of the year we are going to win a lot of games folks. We should be better than league average in the second half of the year.
What can derail us? An injury to one of the big 3 on the OL. If Freddie gets hurt it's a different ballgame.
If Dak or Zeke are out, then it's a bad deal too. Oddly enough if Collins gets injured (on defense) it might hurt us as much or more than if Sean Lee gets injured. He is a very important piece of this defense.
If we can stay healthy, this could be a very god defense, and that includes Jaylon and Tapper. I predict top 7 defense if we stay healthy, with more upside than that. Tapper may be our x-factor this year.
